CHAPTER xIv.-CosrrsuEp

Now Zibalbay walked on swiftly,
pulling at his beard and muttering to
himself, till we came to u great arch
way where two soldiers armed with
copper spears stood on guard. chatting
with women in the crowd that gathered
around the open door, and eating sweet
meats, which they offered them. III.
balbay covered his face with the cor
ner of his robe, and bidding us do like
wise. began to walk through the arch
way, whereupon the two soldiers, cross
ing their spears, demanded his name
and title.
by whose cE3N-s do you asli?" said
Zibalbay
by the orders OF our lord. the ca
Clique, who celebrates his marriage feast
with the mobiles, his guests" answered
one of them. Say. are you OF their
number, who come so lRte2'
Then Zibalbay uncovered his face
and said:
Look at me, man. Did | command
You TO shut my own doors against mc?'
He looked and gaSpcd:
1T is the cacique come home again. -
"How, then, do you say that you keep
the doors by order of the cacique? Can
there be two caciqueS in the CITY of the
Heart?" asked Iibalbay in bitter
voice, and. without waiting for an an
swer, he walked on followed by the
three of us into the plaza or court yard
OF the palace, where many fountains
splashed upon the marble pavemcnts.
Passing beneath n colonnade, and
through an open doorway whence light
flowed, we found ourselves in great
chant Der one hundred feet or more in
length, having q roof of pancled cedar,
supported by double row of wooden
columns eXquisitely carved, between
which were set tables laden with fruit
and flowers, drinking vessels and other
ornaments of gold.
AT the far end of this place was a
small table, and behind it, seated upon
throne-lilIe chairs, were man and IL
woman, having an armed guard on
either side of them.
The man was magnifccntly dressed
in white robe broidcred with the sym
Dol of the heart and glittcring feather
cloak. Upon his brow was a circle of
gold from which rose a plume of green
feathers, and in his hand he held a lit
tie golden scepter tipped with an emcr-
aid.
He was of middle height, very stoutly
built, and about thirty-tivc years of age.
having straight black hair that hung
down upon his shoulders. In face he
WAS handsome, but torbidding, for his
dark eyes shone with strange fire be-
meath the beetling brows, and his
powerful mouth and chin wore a sullen
look that did not leave them even whom
he smiled.
The lady at his side was also bcauti-
fully attired in white bridal robes, Dor
dered with silver, and having the royal
heart worked upon her breast. while on
her brow, arms and bosom shone
strings of emeralds She was Young
and tall, with splendid eyes and a
proud, handsome face, somewhat
married by the heavineSs of the mouth
and it was easy 10 see that she loved
the husband at her side, for ali her
looks were toward him.

Some time after he wrote and asked for
his bill. Instead of getting it, he .eceived
back the 800 that he had deposited, and

nounced the only democrat who has led
the party to victory since the war, and
the one W no has done the most TO save it
from the suicidal fate which has now
overtaken it. They have launched new
party and must sail under its colors-the
party OF silverism, reputation and pop
ulism. This raises an issue a. single and
direct as that raised in 81. 1t was then
union against secession, the national
flag or the confederate flag. II is now
patriotism against silverism, the country
against populism. On this vital issue
true democrats and loyal citizens can no
more hesitate than they did in 81. All

the safety OF the nation. The time has

Muscular Christians.

Muscular Christians not only arrested a
tendency toward effeminacy which proba-
bly, would in any case have been evancs-
cent, but they brought back to Christian,
ity entire classes, and especially large
class Of English gentlemen, who, in their
disgust at tendencies wholly alien TO their
temperaments. had begun to think whcth-
er a little infusion Of manly heatheni.m"
would not be good for the community.
They maintained that picty and joyous
ness Were not Inconsistent that David
with his overvigorous life was better
man than saul with his melancholia, that
the life of the sea and the field and the
mine was a. good as the life Of the parson-
age; that there was other Christian work
than preaCsing in season and out Of sea
son; that. in short, it was possible to lead
the life Of an average English gentleman
or workman and be good Christian too
Some of them went too far in their re
coil, as appeared when the controversy
over Governor Eyre divided all England
but in the main their ideas acted as brisk
breeze acts upon sultry day, clearing

ABOUT RINGS.
they ar. Cttcles of Sentiment With His
tories Centuries Old.

Old as sentiment itself is the ring.
Among the Italians OF the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries it was customary for
women to give to their lovers rings which
contained their portraits These rings were
in the forms of two clasped hands, In
which hidden spring concealed the pic
ture.
Another quaint custom of the long ago
was that of breaking ring cor betruthal.
Such rings were fashioned for the purpose,
being made of two twin circles and were
called gimmal rings, from the word &C.
melli, meaning twins.
\ ring of pure gold she from her finger took
And just in the middle the same there she
broke.
Quoth She, CAS- a token of love you this take.
And this as pledge Will keep for your sake. "
The gimmal was also favoritc wedding
ring for many years Dryden thus de-
scribes it in Don Sebastian
A curious artist rought EN-,
With joints SO close as not to be perceived,
Yet are they both each others counterpart,
Her part had Juan inscribed and his had Zayda.
In the modern fondness for rings is seen
q survival of the bar barrie love of display,
OF superstition and Of sentiment. The
habit of loading the fingers with jewels,
which Seneca condemrAl in his day, say
ing, Our fingers are loaGed with rings,
each joint is adorned with precious stone,
is still in favor with "a class in whom the
barbaric instinct is not yet exterminated,
while many modern belle would like to
wear, as did the Expresses Faustina and
Domitia, rings which cost 5000 600 and
$500 600. And she does often wear, as did
her Roman prototype, "sardonyxesc. jas
pers and emeralds on the joints of her
fingers. !"
Such displays deserve the condemnation
of a modern Seneca, but for the rings
worn in conscious or unconscious recogni.
ton of some quaint old superstition or
tender sentiment there should be only
benediction.
Such rings are found upon the fingers
Of women welded to the church and OF
women welded to the men they love.
They shine upon the brawny hand Of toll
and glitter upon the rosy digits Of the lit
tie child. They sparkle beneath the glow
ing eyes OF radiant motherhood and reflect
before many a sacred shrine the light
that never was on land or sea-" They hold
gems OF purest ray serene for many fond
and loving hearts, and while human loves
remain they will continue to be among
affections most sacred symbols. -Phila
