IN CHALPA's HANDS.

Now IIlapel and Kulcan had con-
ceived plan which delighted them
both beyond measure, and their thoughts
ran i'll this Wise Instead Of a hatun
feast of horrors, bloody sacrifices and
dread sgitS that brutalized the people
and made them cruel and hard hearted,
they would have a marriage feast! And
the bridegroom would be the wonder
worker Quetzal, and the bride Leila, the
daughter Of Attain. The audacity Of
this scheme staggered them at first, but
they grew familiar with the thought as
they pondered i, and were pleased with
themselves nightly. But it was long
time before they approached Eric upon
the subject.
When they did they were fortified
with many grave reasons and convinc-
ing arguments with which to overcome
all possible objections, but TO their sur
prise he fell in with their views at once.
But he sa.d
Not |, but Leila, must decide the
question, my friends, Let us go to her
and ask her now"
They Went to her apartment, and as
they entered size perceived that they had
come upon some more than ordinary err
rand She paled as she gaZed upon their
serious faces, and looked from one to
another with questioning chances.
Taking her hand Eric spoke:
My Leila, li;lapel and kulcan have
discovered, l know not how, that we
love one another, and they wish to have,
instead Of a human sacrifice ut the feast
of the katun, a marriage feast, to make
il day Of gladness and rejoicing, and
they have chosen us as the victims.
have left the decision to you"
She hid her face upon his shoulder,
and they had no other answer. In fact
when she raised her head they had both
departed and gone about their business.
IN the midst Of his happiness Eric was
seized with a feeling Of insecurity, q
foreboding Of evil, which was in truth
the prelude to a period of illness. After
battling with it for awhile he resolved
10 avail himself Of the only means of
reaching the outside world by releasing
his long captive carrier pigeon, Many

bond that could be put on the market
They also recommended that s25,-
