When we reached the ruins Of the temple v
ate and drank, then. knowing that we coul
travel no further that night, spoke, saying:
Some two months since, Zibalbey, you sent
message by that man who died 10 save us thl
day. to him who among the Indians, is know
az Lord OF the Heart. Your messenger travelle
fast and far. by ses and by land, till he foun
him and delivered the message"
ITO whom did he deliver II :" asked Zibalbay
To uie, for am the man you seek and witt

"You have proved. and this woman is my
daughter and knows all. but what Of the white
msn2 Is 1t lawful that should unveil the Heart

that lay dying, and to him clings its virtues
and prerogatives. So II comes about that we
have no secrets from each other: that his ears
are my ears, and his mouth Is my mouth.
Speak TO us, then. as though we were one man.

Are these things so. white man1 asked
Eibalbay making the sign Of brotherhood.

countersign.
"Then speak," said Zibalbay. ~ speak in
the name Of the Heart, and woe be to him who
bstrays the secrets he learns under cover Of this
harne. Come hither, daughter, and give me
that which is hidden in your hair"
Now Maya put her hands TO her head and
hrawing forth some small ing from the dense
masses Of her hair, passed It to her father.
"Is this what you would see ?" he asked hold

looked and 10! there before me was the very
counterpart of that which had descended TO me
from my forefathers. and which l wore about
my neck.
at would seem so. unless my eyes deceive
me-" I answered. And is this what you have
come so far to seek. Zibalbay ?" and drew forth
the ancient symbol Of the Broken Heart.

ais eyes. Then he clasped his hands. and look
