short, senior, though | do not believe
in his gods, in Zibalbays visions do

neither of us can succeed without the

"Why not?"
Because need wealth and he needs
men, and If he will give me the wealth
l can give him men in thousands"
II hear" answered the senior. cit

will both OF you find that there are
difficulties in the way. What l do not
understand, uhowever, is what part

affair, who are not anxious to repen-
crate race or build up an empire /

toward you, because he thinks that the
oracle may, declare you to be the son of
Quetzal through whom his people shall
be redeemed. But be warned, senior,
for if he comes to know that you are not
the man, then he will sweep you aside
as of small account and you may bid
farewell to the Lady of the Heart"

live, but those who stand in the path of
kings do not live long. Still, though
there is cause to be cautious, there is
no cause to be downhearted."
"At any rate, we will stand together"
said the senior. "And now, as there is
no use talking of the future, think
that we had better go to bed. On one
thing, however, you may be certain,
unless she dies or 1 die, l mean to
marry Maya"

Colony of Austrians,

ASHLAND, VA, April 1s.-Speclal.-
This afternoon about 4 o'clock all Ash
land received Jar simil1r to an earth
quake. The cause WIS the explosion OF
the boiler Of engine No. q. attached to
the work train of the Richmond, Fred
elicksburg and Potomac railroad, which
was occupying a siding here.
The crash cane without a moment s
warning, and parts of machinery were
hurled for several hundred yards in ev.
cry direction. Several hair-breadth es-
capes were made. but fortunately no one
was seriously hurt

only one in the cab at the time OF the
explosion. lie was Knocked down and
senseless. but soon reGained conscious
ness. Otherwise he was only injured by
escaping steam. The engineer. Mr.. +.
Farmer. had just gone TO the depot for
orders.
Professor Merritt Motley was passing
along the street opposite the engine at
the time OF the explosion, and f he had
been a few feet advanced would in all
probability have been killed. as he would
have been in a direct line Of the flying

EFFECT OF THE EXPLOSION.
The explosion occurred in the heart OF
town, and II is marvellous that there
are no casualties to chronicle.
BY the explosion the engine was raised
several feet IN the air. and falling back
into its position, bent the rails four or iyt
inches.
The engine was small and I'm a dilapi-
dated condition. having been in use for
about fifteen years. II Is now only tit

only a short while in consequence OF the
explosion.
