and one by one the others followed
his example. One after another every
garment was discarded, until the Light
OF the sacred fire fell upon leaping
mass of half-crazed humanity. AS
naked as the face Of a cloudless sky
| they danced in a frenzy of religious
| excitement
I do not know how long they kept this
up. One after another dropped ex-
hausted, streaming with perspiration.
After a time the ancient who had led
the orgies gave an order in low tones,
and the dancers arose, clothed them
selves and slipped away.
When all had left the cave except the
priest and his half-dozen assistant sllki-
| as, the brands which still burned on
the altar were laid on the edge of a
bench, and new torches were lighted.
They moved the slab that was their
altar and lowered their god Of stone
into the pit beneath, then laid the fOun:
the kid were put in the bowl ON the
! knees of the image, and the obsidian
knife was, laid on them. One edge Of
the covering slab was lowered to it's
place, and the serpent which the old
woman had held during all those hours
was thrown into the pit. The dove
which the other Woman held was thrust
! beneath the slab, to futter blindly a
moment before the stone was lowered
to it's place, to shut out the last ray
of light that poor bird would ever see,
for it was alive to lengthen the days
of the reptile that was left to guard
with poisoned fang the resting place of
the craven idol of Caribs.
Dust and the ashes Of the fires were
gathered, and all the seams that might
betray that hiding place were filled,
concealing every joint. The blankets
that curtaired the entrances were re-
moved, and the priests and tiled out
Of the cave.
A, little brown maiden strolled toward

palms of La Caiibe, a few days after
OUR return from Utilla.
"Come here, RaimunGa; want you

''Raimunda is dead" She yravely re-
piled as she came to me-
ooh, dead, is she?'
'You know that she is dead, senOr.''

"Al1, yes, so did. Then who are

Tamaraca. See, look at his cross" and
she pulled from her breast the dressing
: Of leaves and exposed the two crossing
; wounds made by the knife of obsidian
in the hands of the priest. The dress
ing had kept the wound inf1amed, that
| the scars might be large and distinct
} The child was manifestly very proud

or the bowl which the statue held
Its smoke gave a strange fragrance,
which filled the room most pleasantly.
81 Three grizzled, wrirlled old men
stood before the altar. AT each of its
ends stood two women, rs old as gray,
as plckered as the men were. These
seven were sukias or witches Of the Ca
ribs. About the neck Of each hung a
necklace of the teeth of alligators, little
bones from the feet of animals. claws
of the sloth the tiger or the mountain
lion, or other things believed to possess
occult value. H.
One OF the hays held pressed to her
bosom little brown dove of the kind

and IN every sunny valley Of Honduras
The second woman held at her feet a
young kid. The sixth Sukia held in
her hand a knife Of obsidian, it's short
blade spreading with jagged edge to
broad base that was set in a wooden
handle, wound with thread and thic]zly
coated with some gum or varnish that
was hard and black and shining. The
seventh and last Of the priestesses, at
the other corner Of the fat stone,
grasped by it's neck a tamagas, a SER
pent well nigh as deadly as 4 rattle
| snake.
A nude girl Of ten years stood at
the side Of the altar, opposite the chief
! priest. Her head was wreathed with
fragrant jasmine and her shoulders
were covered with the purple blossoms
Of the madre-de-cacaO. The mother of
| the girl squatted behind the child, her
! head bowed on her knees and covered
| by a shawl.
! The chief priest chanted few words
with Il voice cracked by many years.
The man at his right responded He
at the priests left hand responded.
| The old woman first at the right of
the altar took up the refrain, her sister
at the left followed, and so the weird
chant passed from left to right and
back again, until the last sukia had
droned her part. Then each man in
the first circle of worshipers chanted
in his turn. And was followed by
each woman in the next row, and Sc
on until all had sung with voices that
rose and fell in simple and dismal ca
denceS.
Then the mother Of the victim broke
into a low and mournful wall, and al
the women joined. When that was done
and silence fell she gently pushed he1
child forward, and with head wrapped
in her shawl threw herself, face down
fat on the floor, III the abandon o:
grief.
The girl leaned against the edge O:
the altar. She took 4 blazing splinter
from the torch on the knees Of thu
stone god, and with it touched a hand
full Of dry fbers Of the banana stalk
half hidden under splinters of pitcl
pine. The new fire instantly flared III

army leaders, in spite Of his
having succumbed to adverse
circumstances. OSman has pro-
badly done more to hold Russia in
check during the last five years than
the ministers OF England and the triple
alliance combined. A summary Of the
generals of the present day with re-
ference to their ability to lead in the
field is as follows:
Germany: No leader, except the King
Of Saxony, who is quite an old man,
and whom the accident OF birth made
what he is.
Austria: The Archduke Albrecht, ALSO
quite old.
Russia: -Four leaders. having seen SER

France: No leader, Saussier being

experience in continental lighting.

flame rose and lighted her sweet brown
face murmur of congratulation ran
around the room. The child smiled
proudly as she raised her eyes to NINE
The wizened priest opposite the child
bent slowly forward, touched her be-
tween the eyes with his finger, then
withdrew his hand, his black eyes
steadfastly fixed on hers, upheld to
meet that fascinating gaze. They stood
intently staring at each other for full
five minutes-it seemed an hour-when
the bamboo pipes softly droned and
faint rumbling came from the drum.
The worshipers were brea thlessly 81
lent.
At 4 sign from the priest the little
maid lifted both her hands and ex-
! tended them over the altar, her gaze
still fixed on the glittering eyes Of the
sukia. Each of the old priests at the
corners Of the slab of stone seized one
Of her wrists and pulled her gently for
ward until her bosom was almost over
the fire her own hands had kindled
on the sacri6cial stone.
The sukia who stood before the girl
suddenly caught the stone knife from

and leaned toward my little friend

no real harm would come to her-other-
wise the crowd, many of them person
ally we'll known by me, would not have
dared to let ME be a witness Of their
deeds; but now yelled at that grissly
old devil to stay his hand. But before
I could struggle through the nearest
of the packed ranks of Worshippers,
that jagged, CLASSY edge swept twice
across that tender breast. Raimunda
gave no sign Of having felt the blade
slash her flesh. She seemed to be in a
dream.
The high priest caught a few drops
Of her blood in his hand and shook
them into the stone bowl on the knees
Of his god, then sprinkled few drops
on the fire. A gasping cry filed the
cave as the child was caught in her
mothers arms.
That cry came from the frightened
kid as it's throat was cut by a single
sweep of that blade Of glass. Its blood
fell into the bowl before the idol, it's
heart quickly followed, and it's flesh
was at once cut into minute bits and
distributed, piece to each worshiper.
1t was at once devoured.
Then the music broke out wildly.
The big drum Numbered, the bow
strings tWanged, the bamboo flutes
piped merrily. livery man in the room
sprang to his feet and circled around
the altar in slow dance.
There was a brief pause. Then the
heavy sound of the drum rolled again
through the cave, and the women joined
the dance. Around and around they
circled and the music and the dance
81 grew faster and wilder. A dancer

in tavern window bearing the in
scription, "Devonshire cider sold

entered the public house and
called for a "pint o zider." The
liquor being drawn he placed it to
his lips and half emptied the meas

the remark that it was Every poor

thinking to raise a joke at the farm

do you know how that cider was
made?" "No," said the farmer.
''Well, I'll tell you. They stuck up
a barrel of water at one end of a shed
and stood back at the other end and
Threw apples at it," did they?''
said the farmer, slowly slipping the
cider. ''Then they didn't hit that

and babe her seat herself upon It.
Crimson with shame and distress,
Nettie obeyed, and then Miss Stewart
brought from the cupboard cap of
stiff. brown paper, upon which the
word Ounce" was inscribed in big
black letters, and placed it on the
dropping head. Poor Nettie! She
sat quite still, her hands in her lap
and the lids yelling her blue eyes.
She was too much ashamed even to
cry, and she dared not meet the
chances of her companions. She felt
very unhappy as she thought that now
she would be kept in. and would per-
haps be too late for the party. Even if
not, could she face Bee and her friends
after this disgrace?
The clock struck four. Books were
put away and the children were dis
missed, all except Nettie Miss Stew
art took no notice of her, and the lit
tie girl began to wonder if her teacher
! would go home and leave her there
alone. Tears rose to her eyes and
rolled down her flushed cheeks.
Miss Stewart heard the sound of
sobbing. and came to the little girls
side. Then Nettie begged to be for
given, and confessed what had been
the cause of her carelessness. Miss
Stewart smiled as she removed the
| ounces cap.

again. she said. You will learn,
Nettie, that play is all the sweeter
| when work is wei done. Now let me
see if you cannot get this sum rig ht. )"
The sum was done correctly in a
that she had found it so difficult be-
fore, for it seemed quite simple now.
Five minutes later Mrs. Coulter,
looking from her open doorway, saw
her little daughter coming down the
street.
! How late you are, dear!'' she said.
''Have you been crying, Nettie?"
Then Nettie told her trouble, half
fearing that mother would reproach
her, but she did not. She saw that
Nettie had been sufficiently punished
for her fault. So she brought out the
white frock and bronze shoes, and be-
gan to dress the little girl for the
party. Nettie was soon ready, and
then mother produced a box of choco-
late creams, tied with white ribbons,
and with picture of little girl upon
the lid.
You must give this to Bee for a
birthday present." she said
Mother, how good you are! And
I've been so naughty I will try to
be u good girl always
Bees home was not far away, and
Nettie soon reached it. She could
hear the sound of merry voices inside
as she timidly knocked at the door, 1t
was opened by Bee.
"Come in, Nettie,' she cried. ''We
would not begin tea until you came .
Nettie followed Bee into the parlor,
feeling a little uneasy lest some re-
mark might be made about what had
happened at school, but obody said a
word about it, SO Nettie soon got over
her shyness.
And Mr.. Norris showed so many
comical pictures, and told such funny
stories, that Nettie enjoyed the party
even more than she had anticipated.
