CHAPTER XII.
MAYA DrscENps THE ouKvA.

One evening after we had left the
forest country and with much toll
climbed the sierra till we reached the
desert beyond, desert that seemed to
be boundfess, we set our camp among .
ciump of great aloes that grew at the
foot of stony hill This hill was
marked on Zibalbay's map as being the
site of an underground reservoir, known
as a oueva, whence In the old days,
when this place was inhabited, the In
dams draw their supply Of water In the
dry season from deep down In the bow
els Of the earth.
That this particular cueva existed
was proved by the fact that the ancient
road, which here was plainly visible,
ran through the ruins Of a large town
whereof the population must once have
been supplied by it, but when Zibal-
BAY andliis daughter slept here on their
downward journey they we're spared
the necessity of looking for 1t by the
discovery of a rain pool In the hollow
OF a rock. Now, however, no rain hav-
ing fallen for weeks, after we had eaten
and drunk such water as remained IN
the water skins, we determined to seek
for the eueya In. order to refill the skins

zIBALBAY TELLS HIS MISSION.


When we reached the ruins Of the
temple we ate and drank, then, know
ing that we could travel no further that
night, spoke, saying:
"Some two months since, Zibalbay,
you sent message by that man who
died to save US this day, to him who,
among the Indians, Is known as Lord
of the Heart. Your messenger travelled
found him and delivered the message"
ITO whom did he deliver it2" asked
Zibalbay.
ITO me, for l am the man you seek,
and with my companion l have Jour
neyed here to find you, suffering many
| dangers and evils on the path"
prove that you are the man." and he
asked me certain secret questions, to all
of which ] returned answers.
You are instructed" he said at
length, and turning to Maya said:
Come hither, daughter, and give me
that which is hidden in your hair"
Maya put her hands TO her head, and,
drawing forth some small thing from
the dense masses of her hair, passed 1t
to her father.
'Is this what you would see?" he
asked holding the object in the light of
the setting sun.

symbol of the Broken Heart.
Now he leaned forward and examined
first the one half and then the other
searching them with his eyes.
Then he turned to me and said:

woIgnU was niue lnueeu, yet II seemed
that it sufficed to turn the balance, for
again the trembling mass moved per.
ceptibly.
1t slid forward faster and faster,
while sharp sounds like pistol shots
came from the heart of it, and the trees
bent like a rod beneath the rush of =
fish. Now, also, for the first time the
villains on the slope below perceived
the doom that threatened them and ut
tered such yell as had never heard.
Some stood still, and some flung them
selves down the stair. One only, Don
Pedro himself, rushed forward.
1t was too late; the mass of stone
work, fifty feet long by twenty in
breadth, was falling. 1t fell, taking
Molas with it.
With a roar like that Of thunder II
struck upon the stairway, and, BURST
ing into fragments, swept 1t from end
to end.
In less than minute it was done, the
sounds had died away, and nothing was
left to tell of what had happened ex-
cept little dust and some remains thGt
had been men. OF all those who stood
upon the stairway only one sur
vived, Don Pedro, who had run
forward. But he was too late,
for though the mass had missed him Q
single stone struck him across the mid
die, breaking his bones and sweeping
him to the foot of the first fight, but
leaving him alive.
When all was finished and the dust
had fallen to the earth again, the senior
spoke, saying:
"Let us go and search for the body
Of our deliverer,"
So we went, the three of US, leaving
Zilbalbay In the temple, but we could
not find 1t; doubtless to this day 1t
lies buried beneath some Of the larger
blocks of masonry. There were other
bodies, indeed, from which we did not
soruple to take the rifles and whatever
else was likely to be Of value to us.
Better still, tied among some trees near
the foot of the pyramid we found four
good mules, one of them laden with
ammunition and provisions, for Don
Pedro had come out determined to hunt
us down even II he must follow us for
days.
Having picketed the mules where
| they could Craze, we returned to the
temple, bearing with US food and drink,
of which we stood in sore need. On our
way up the steps Don Pedro called to
us from where he lay broken and bleed.
