CHAPTER XXI
THE MARRIAGE OF MAYA

Presently the door opened, and tho
senior was brought into the sanctuary,
as he thought to his death, for saw
that his teeth were set, and that his
hand clenched, as though to defend
himself, but as he came the most of the
council rose and bowed to him, saying:
Hail to you! Son of the Sea, Fa-
vored of Heaven, Father foreordained
of the Deliverer to come"
Then he knew that the plot had sue
ceeded, and uttered great sigh of re-
lief.
"Hearken, white lord" said Natal,
for Tikal sat still and scowled on him
in silence, "the gods have spoken by
their oracle. As Zibalbay thought SO
purpose to the gates of the City of the
gods" and, taking the tablet, he read
to him the false prophecy. Now
choose, white man. Will you take the
Lady Maya to wife, or viii you be put
to death, in that, having wandered
to the City of the Heart, you refuse to
obey the command of the gods?"
Now the senior thought, and an
swered:
1.-The man would be foolish who hest
tated between death and so fair and
sweet bride. Still, this is a matter
that 1 cannot decide alone. What saws
the Lady Maya?'
"She says" answered MAYA, "that,
although this is a marriage for which
she did not look and it is a new thing
that daughter of the Heart should
take stranger of less ancient blood to
husband, the will of Heaven is her
will, and the lord that Heaven chooses
for her shall be her lord" and she
stretched out her hand to him.
He took it, and, bending down, kissed
her fingers, saying:
May be worthy of your choice,
lady,"
Now, 1 thought that the ceremonies
were finished and was glad, for 1 grew
weary of assisting at this farce, but
the old priest, Zibalbay's foster broth
er, rose and said:
"One thing more must be done,
brethren, before we leave this sanctua-
ry, and it is to swear in these strangers
as members of the council"
"Ay! 1t is well thought of. Let them
be sworn, and remember that to break
the oath is DEATH" was the answer.
Then we went out, accompanied by
Maya, Natal and the escort of priests,
passed through the halls and passages
out into the courtyard of the temple
and thence to apartments in the palace,
where we refreshed ourselves with
food, for we were weary. The trick had
succeeded, the ordeal was past, and for
the present at least we were no longer
in danger of our lives; more, the power
of Natal was, confirmed, and his
daughter was assured in her position
as the wife of TAlzal, and the senior and
the Lady Mayb were about to attain
the fullness of lheir desire and to be de-
clared one in he presence of the peo-

SHORT SNAPPERS.

The crop of spring candidates
are slow in blooming.
The fire OF hate usually flushes
in the pan. Exchange.
The pops and dems. are pulling
hard for the colored voter.
Franchise Grabbers are ready to
take anything the council has to
offer.
If you have elected bad men
once, its no reason you should do
80 again.
Cash may buy temporary
pleasure, but rarely ever brings
contentment.
There are too many sspirants
for the first term in office for the
third term to become popular.
Political ambition makes
strange bed fellows-even the coon
and the skunk will lie together.
When it comes to splitting taffy
at each other, San Antonio's ex-
pert sewer engineers are strictly
in it.
Exchange: "Vote as you kick
and the returns at the next cleo
ton will surprise everyone, your
self included.
The present tussle with street
car company should be a warning

future franchises.

Of the funds, the sewers will be

The citizens sewer committee
should probe rascslity, il there be
any, to the very bottom; even il
they have to go into politics.
The Express strives hard to keep
its readers posted about the move
ments of Brer. Quincy, but failed
to report the little affair at Waco.
1t makes the Old Time Demo-
crat sick unto shedding crocodile
tears to see their democratic
newspaper continually boosting
republican Pie-hunters.

President Cleveland could make

whether the white man will take her as

A new telephone company to lit
ter up and interfere with our streets
has been granted a franchise free
for nothing. The inducement is a
reduction OF rates. Every body
knows that this is a humbug. We
never can expect lower rates for
any kind OF service, water, light or
telephone, until the city lids its
own works.
The city should put a toll on
every pole erected to carry wires,
no matter for what purpose.
All these new companies are for
speculation. a

CRANSTON.

Mrs. Henry Entwistle has been missing
from her home in Cranston since last
Monday and there is a suspicion among
the neighbors that she has run away with
somebody. She is 2S years old. The Emit
wistles have lived on the corner of Grams
ton street and Narragansett avenue about
five years and the husband keeps a grocery
store'in the same house. His wife is cal
led pretty. Mrs. Entwistle said she was
going to Providence to pay bill Monday
afternoon and then to Pawtucket for a
brief vacation. She paid the bill, but it
was discovered that she did not go to
Pawtucket, so Chief John Bigbee of the
Cranston police was notified and he has
done his best to find the missing woman.
There was no trouble between husband and
wife.
Philip +. Potter's father is painter
and is very popular. He does not know
where Philip is.
Chief .Bigbee says it looks like an elope-
ment.
Respectful observances are paid to the
memory of Washington in different parts
of the town. Flags are floating in all
the villages. The Auburn postottice has
been closed except during three office
hours, and the town clerks Office has
been closed. Tomorrow, p. N. there
will be preaching in st. Eartholomew's
Church, Cranston.
