written in the ritual. In short, IL you
do not fear the vengeance of the god,

Now she turned to us, saying:
Advise me, friends, for I know not
what to answer. In the faith of nv
people l have lost faith, and il is To
yours that look for comfort, and vet
the deed seems awful, for IL we are not
worshipers of the nameless god, still we
are all of us brethren of the ancient
mysteries of the Heart, and 10 do this
thing would be to break our solemn
oaths. Come, let us put it to vote, and
do you, who are the oldest and the
wisest among us, vote first, Ignatio."

part give my voice against the trick
OF the gods of your people know moth
ing and think less, but am the master
of our order in my own land, and will
not offend against il. Still. in this
matter your lives are at stake as well
as mine: therefore, if of the three of
us two are in favor of the act will be
bound by their decision"
Good, let il be So" said Maya. "And
now, beloved, speak and tell us whether
You choose death and "A clean con-
science. or life and my love to gladden.

her beautiful eyes, and half stretched
out her arms as though she would clasp
him to her breast

wish, but by accident; therefore, on this
point, my conscience priclSs me little.
II VIII do your wish, Maya, and if
you think it better that we should die.

Nay she answered with flash of
reckless passion, Il think ii better that
we should live far from this unlucl<y
city, and there be happy in each others

"Ill-omened Words" muttered Mat
tai, shivering little; words that only

As he spoke thought heard faint
groan come from the man upon the

taken, or, at least, that it had not pro-
