lent streets, the pavement Of which is
overgrown with weeds and long grass,
one experiences a feeling of soothing
melancholy seldom excited by ruins,
which are so often bare and desolate;
and the suns rays, partially intercept
ed by the foliage OF the trees, impart
a warm color to this mixture OF sculp-
tural stonework and verdure. 0ccas-
ionally, at turn of the road, one comes
upon some religious ediflce or temple,
one Of the most exquisite Of which Is
that dedicated to Mahades, It's golden
kiosk being a masterpiece Of Oriental
sculpture. In the center Of the city
there is "Lingan" placed in a basin
which Is filed by spring of water.
An ancient prophecy declares that
when the "Iingan" is covered by the
water AmbiS will disappear, There are
only a few Inches now visible above
the surface, and the Brahmin priests
Of Jeypore. who periodically visit the
temple of Mahades, are seriously
alarmed concerning the condition of af-
fairs, since any disaster that overtakes
Ambir is likely at the same time to
overwhelm Jeypore, which is, so to

fallen upon the floor. The idea that
the food should be spoiled was disa-
greeable to Herrick and so he picked
up the little brown bundle.
He knew that the contents Of that
package was money. It felt like a
mass Of bills folded, awkwardly
wrapped up, and fastened with elastic
bands. Through the brown covering
Herrick could feel the crispness Of the
government paper. The amount might
be poor mans monthly wages or
rich mans profit on great transac-
ton.
1t seemed long time before another
light struck In upon him. At the mo-
ment when it did so he saw a face close
to the cab door and he lodged back,
covering the bills with his hands. But
the chance passenger on the street saw
nothing; he was thinking of his own
affairs, no doubt, and had no inkling
Of the strange thing that passed so
close to his eyes.
Herrick was himself again in mo-
ment, and he bent forward, eagerly
scanning the bills in his hand, and
counting them feverishly. There were
40 Of them, and each was of the de-
nomination Of $1,000.
Throughout the later period of tho
young mans misfortunes, he had had
substantially but one wish-to rest.
Rest has many forms, suited to vast
variety Of individual tastes. To Her
rick In his day-dreams 1t had always
taken the form OF travel without care.
All paths lie open for man who has
$4,000, and there is no reason why
care should sit behind him as he rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowy
thought for the person who had lost
this money. He did not even speculate
upon the manner Of its loss.
He disposed the notes in his pockets
in the best interests Of comfort and
safety. Then he folded up the brown
paper and pocketed that also, with
dim consciousness that, II II were left

ers, the floors are Of sandal and other
precious wood. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive a more romantic retreat; and
what with the unbroken silence, the
glorious view and the fairy-like char
acter Of the palaces and kiosks, one
has trouble to realize that one is not in
dreamland.
The only sign Of decay, If decay in
deed 1t can be called, is the presence
Of vegetation where 1t would not have
been tolerated had the place been in

speak, at the entrance of the valley.
The waters of the lake are infested
by crocodiles, of which there is an en-
ormous quantity, rivalling, indeed, in
numbers, the monkeys, who constitute
the only inhabitants of the city. The
monkeys belong to the class known as
"Langour," are about four feet in
height, with long white whiskers,
black, intelligent faces, and a sort of
chinchilla gray fur. They are regard
ed as sacred by the people of India,
owing to the tradition according to
which Hunouman, king Of the mon
keys, assisted in the original conquest
of India, and especially in that of the
island of Ceylon. These monkeys Of
Ambir live in regular tribal fashion,
and are governed by a fierce-looling
old chief, patriarch, who Isl treated
with immense reverence by all his sub
jects.

marble frameworks Of the windows
which ornament this gate are the finest

single slabs Of marble, and are so deli

they resemble transparent muslin cur

surrounded by palaces, each rich in
mosaics and sculptures, in the center
of which is a fairy-like garden. In
some of these palaces the walls are

that he was going to escape. But al
ways the velvet paws, with the long,
dharp claws springing out Of them, had
caught him just In time. So at last he
lay still, painting, not knowing which
way to turn.
He stood with his back against the
6on fence in front Of Trinity church.
There was just light enough in the
western sky to give the pile of stone a
shadow which fell upon hurrying thou
sands who did not notice 1t.
Herricks hands were In his pockets.
He crumpled a cracking piece of paper
which meant that he could live several
days longer II he cared to do so. AS to
a more extended future, he could not
picture It, All the lines Of his life
seemed to end in a knot, which could
by no means be united, but must
merely be dropped. He remembered
that there were miracles, but he could
not think Of one to wish for,

Herrick felt the degeneracy of the
lhrong without really seeing 1t. II a
whole street full OF people could get
shabby in an hour, was 1t any wonder
that he had done 1t in Ave years?
He crossed Broadway and walked
down Wall street. slowly and with
hesitation, for he had no errand. A
voice cried, Cab, sir!" almost in his
ear. He turned and looked up at the
man on the box.

1t was the first place that had come
into his mind, He got into the cab and
snapped the door. The cushioned seat
and the comfortable support for his
head were very refreshing. A fancy
came to him that he would dine decent
ly and then 60 to theater. The ex-
trRvagance would be trifling, for 1t was
really Of small importance whether he
starved to death on Sunday or the fol-
lowing Wednesday. He was in mood
to make a jest of 1t all.
A strong glare from an electric light
struck down into the carriage, and
made visible to him package In brown
paper that looked as II 1t might be a
sandwich, The object protruded from
under the seat. He thought 1t must be
