When they reached Listah's chosen
retreat, after threading the maze of the
many devious passages, the priest coun-
seled Eric to take some food and lie
upon his bed while he accommodated. So
Listah left him, and he laid himself
down on the rude couch. He could not
sleep, of course, for his mind was too
agitated.
1t was now midday, as Listah had told
him, and little farther down the pas
sage in which the old recluse had made
his home there shone one slim white ray
of light from above, feebly Illuminating
one little spot. He went to it and saw
small opening in the wall few feet
above his head. He stood looking directly
upward along the ray of light and saw
that it came through trapdoor in the
roof of an apartment above.
Placing several large stones together,
he was enabled to peer through the open
ing, and discovered that he overlooked
the great estufa, the sacred council
chamber and secret room of the Kabilo.
1t was desc tied and dark, but his eye,
accustomed now to intense gloom, could
discern every feature of the great room
into which he had never before pene-
trated.
It was arranged like an amphitheater,
with a capacity of perhaps two hundred
people. In the center stood the hideous
image of Chalcu, the god to whom the
fearful human sacrifices were devoted.
Barbaric and rude, misshapep and ugly
as it was, the image awoke from its ter
rible import thrill of momentary awe
- \
been given to this ancient idol; how
many fair Threats had poured forth their
virgin blood upon its affairs in the long
ages of his dread reign?
The image had been, he could see,
newly painted, and the gold and silver
upon it polished until it glowed in the
darkness with semblance of life. Two
immense emeralds were its eyes. They
were turned toward him and seemed
full of dark fire, as though the god saw
him spying there. The effect of dignity
was lessened by the row of ancient but
very precious sea shells that formed the
| teeth of this terror of Atzlan. They made
| its smile more terrible to its votaries
PERHAPS, but to Eric they reduced the
gods dignity to grotesqueness. This
! element of the grotesque grew upon
him as he gazed at it standing there,
solemnly, like Mardi Gras relic, a
monument to the folly and the debase-
ment of man.
As he looked the light grew dim and
faded suddenly. A figure came down
| the ladder, then another, and he saw
| Chalpa and his assistant, Tepelpec, q
weakened, pockmarked villain, standing
before him by the side of the idol
Chalpa examined it carefully and re-
marked:
| eHe is dry now~ We can take him

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE!
The Cause and Its Lesson.

Whv did he commit suicide2 Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme-
diate danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result Of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afflicted with a nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come; or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery 10y treating with physicians
who had little Or no knowledge of such af-
fections, or by delugng himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was a sad
one but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
melancholy, falling memory, hot flashes,
faintingi sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely TO result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treat
ment. DIR. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol
untary testimonials prove the virtues of Dr.
Miles Restorative Nervine.
Alouzo Barker, of Clinton, N. Y, writes: ~

bled so that | could scarcely feed myself | used

DEADLY POLITICS IN MEXICO.
A Hundred and slHty-nve killed in Two
Pitched Battles.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Aug GA serious
fight took place between armed bodies of
opposing political parties at Puerto del
Armen, near Nadodores. The Galnists
were the attacking party, but were re-
pulsed with severe loss. They were led by
Andres Fuente and Jefe Politico at Mon
clova. The opposition forces were com
manded by Emilio Garrnzar. The total
number of killed ON both sides is forty-ive.
A report reaches here of a serious fight
between the federal troops and the Catde-
mas men at a point on the road from Santa
Rosa to Abosola. The fight took place
yesterday afternoon, and it is said there
were not less than 120 mon, mostly sol
diers left dead upon the field 1t is quite
expected that Trevino will enter Piedras
Negras
Governor Reyes is at Monclava, and has
released all the political prisoners He
was expected here today, but the serious
condition of affairs in the region may
cause him to prolong his stay. General
Francisco Trevino with $50 men, is a
short distance from Pedras Negras await
ing the arrival of Governor Reyes. Man
uel Rosas and Jefe Politico arrived in
Pedras Negras yesterday and attempted
to release all the oppositionists confined
in Jail. The latter however, refused TO
accept their liberty. The prisoners say
they will remain in Jail until Governor
Reyes comes.
1t is said that Governor Reyes has carte
blanche from President Diaz to settle the
existing trouble in Coahuila, and that he
will appoint General Ramieres, Of Saltillo,
as governor A report has just reached
town that Colonel Trevino, with 500 men,
is camped on a little river four miles
south of Piedras Negras.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
The Improvement Noted Last
Week Becomes More Distinct.
DISASTERS AvBRTBD BY POOLING

Che Number of Industrial Establish-
ments Now Resuming Compare Favor
ably with the Number stopping work,
but the Use of Checks Is Increasing.
NEW YORK, Aug 26-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade SAYS: The improve
ment noted fast week has become much
more distinct and general While actual
Transactions increased but little, the
thange in public feeling is noteworthy
There are fewer failures, either of banks
or of Important commercial or manufac-
turing concerns than for some weeks
past. Many disasters have been avoided
by more general pooling of resources and
greater spirit of mutual helpfulness and
torbearance than were seen some weeks
ago. One large stock failure for several
million was thus prevented in Wall ,treet
on Thursday, and the market for securi-
ties though at times depressed by closing
Of heavy loans has been extremely dull,
without material decline.
Money on call is more abundant and
lower as many interior loans have been
paid since the banks ceased to send the
currency away and advanced their rates
Tor renewing or extending such loans, but
there is little relief as repects mercantile
accommodations. The use of checks in
place of currency increases, and the diff
sulty Of collections and the interruption
h exchanges are nearly as serious as ever
The number ofindustrial establishments
tesuming begins to compare fairly with
.he number stopping work. 1t cannot be
Tet said that the army of the unemployed
nas begun to decrease, but the additions
10 it are much smaller than in previous
weeks. Many assumptions only show that
she stoppage was really temporary, or that
wage controversies have been settled.
The failures for the past week number
no in the United States and 20 in Canada.
pr the commercial failures in the United
States l49 were i'm the eastern states, IS in
he southern and 1870 in the western.
