Leaving the jungle behind them,
they found themselves face to face
with a curious stone bridge, spanning
Che lake or moat which surrounded
the city, and in which the lotus flower
.bloomed luXuriantly. When they had
crossed the bridge, they stood in the
precincts of the city itself. On either
hand rose the ruins in all their soli-
tary grandeur-palaces temples, mar
ket places, and houses in endless con-
fusion; while, at the end of the
bridge, and running to right and left
as far as the eye could reach, was a
high wall, constructed of large stones,
each one of which would have re-
quired the efforts of at least four men
TO lift it. These, with a few eXcep-
tions, were in an excellent state of
preservation. Passing through the
massive gateway the travellers found
themselves in an open square, out of
which streets branched off to the right
and left, while the jungle thrust in it's
lnquisitive nose on every possible oc-
casion. The silence was so impress
sive that the men found themselves
speaking in whispers. Not sound
was to be heard save the futtering of
birds wings among the trees, and the
obscene chattering of the monkeys
among the leaves. From the first
great square the street began gradu-
ally to ascend; then another moat was
crossed, and the second portion of the
city was reached. Here the buildings
were larger, and the sculpture upon
the walls more impressive even than
before. In the narrower streets
.creepers trailed from side to side, al
most shutting out the light, and add
ing a twilight effect to the already
sufficiently mysterious rooms and
courtyards to be seen within.
This is by no means the most
cheerful sort of place." said Hayle to
Kitwater, as they passed down a
paved street side by side. "Where do
you expect to find the great temple
and the courtyard of the Three Ele-
plants Heads?"
straight on" said little Codd, who
was behind, and had been comparing
the route they were following with
che plan he held in his hand.
AS he spoke they entered another
square, and saw before them a mighty
flight of steps, worn into grooves in
places by the thousands of feet that
had ascended and descended them in
days gone by. At the top was sculp-
tured gateway, finer than anything
either of them had ever seen, and this
they presently entered. Above them
clear of the trees, and towering up
into the blue, were the multitudinous
domes and spires of the kings palace
to which the gateway above the steps
was the principal entrance. Some OF
the spires were broken, some were GOV.
cred with creepers, others were mutt
lated by time and by stress of weather

push your bar in here alongside
of mine, Coddy,' said Kitwater at
last. Il fancy we shall get it then"
The little man did as he was di-
rected, Kitwater and Hayle seconded
his efforts on the other side, and then,
under the strain of their united eXer-
tions, the stone began to move slow
ly from it's place. Little by little they
raised it, putting all the strength
they possessed into the operation, un-
til at last, with one great effort they
hurled it backwards, and it fell with
crash upon the pavement behind
them, revealing dark, narrow hole,
the bottom of which it was impossi-
BILE to see.
"Now, then, Gideon, my worthy
friend, what have you got to say
about the busness?" asked Kitwater,
as he wiped the perspiration from his
brow. You pretended to doubt my
story. Was there anything in the old
Frenchman's yarn after all? Were
we wasting our time upon a FOOLS err
rand when we set off to explore Seng-
kor-Wat?"
HayIe looked at him somewhat
sheepishly.
"No, no." he said, 81 am willing to

am right out of my reckoning. Now
what do you propose to do?"
"Get one of those torches we brought
with us, and find out what there is in
| that hole" Kitwater answered.
They waited while the latter went
back to the camp, and when he reap
pearcd, and had lighted the torch, they
prepared to follow him down the steps
| into the mysterious depths below. The
| former, they soon discovered, were as
| soliGly built as the rest of the palace,
and were about 30 In number. They
were, moreover, wet and Shiny, and so
| narrow that it was only possible for
one man to descend them at once.
| When they reached the bottom they
| found themselves standing in mar
row passage, the walls of which were
composed of solid stone, in many
places finely carved. The air was close,
and from the fact that now and again
bats dashed past them into the deeper
darkness, they argued that there
must be some way of communicating
with the open air at the further end.
| "Ihis is just what the Frenchman
told me-" said Kitwater, and his voice
echoed away along the passage like
distant thunder. "He said we should
find a narrow corridor at the foot Of
the steps, and then the treasure
chamber at the further end. So far it
looks all right. Let US move on, my
| friends"
There was no need for him to issue
such an invitation. They were more
| than eager to follow him.
| Leaving the first room, or ante
| chamber, as it might more properly
be called, they continued their way
| along the narrow passage which led
from it. The air was growing percept-

VIE PATH AND THE STREAM.

n gusty, dusty, frosty day,
with copper sun in sky of gray;
A pathway sire itching far away
Through fields of withered clover;
Meath leahess boughs by soughing pines,
And hedgegrows strung with naked vines.
Where sparrow chirps and blue jay whines
And noisy crows fly over.
Beside the stream, whose placid flow
As noiseless seems as falling snow,
Vet fretfui DER its sands below,
It cleavcs the barren wood;
by messy banks. through marsh and fen,
st Ioiters in the bosky glen,
Then rushing down its course again,
In ever Changeful mood.
Despite its wayward mood and course,
The pathway constant from its source,
Comrades for better or for worse,
They meet the oceans tide;
like true hearts, joined by friendship
chains,
And soul-knit by its joys and pains,
Inseparable while life remains,
Though death may sever wide.

In going over the famous "Shasts

traveller ever finds something new TO ex-
cite his admiration and interest. Start
ing at Portland, ono traverses the whole
length of the Willamette Valley, the
gem OF the northwest. Mt. Hood, Mt.
Jefferson, and the Three Sisterp and
other snow.capped peaks are kept in
sight for hou,s The beautiful valleys
OF the Umpqua and Rogue Rivers, with
their orchards of prunes, peaches,
apples and other fruits are delight ia
themselves. The crossing OF the great
mountain barrier betN cen Oregon and
California reveals the grandest mountain
scenery in tho United States. The
wonderful turnings, twistings, and doub.
hinge OF the railroad bring into view a
grand array OF towering mountains and
profound gOrges into which we gaze
from dizzy heights, forest clad noun
tain slopes stretching up TO the line Of
perpetual snow and the foaming noun.
tain streams dashing dercely down deep
canyons, now and then stopping for
short rest in some quiet pool. After a
days enjoyment OF old Mt. Shasta, the
finest peak on the continent, we drop
rapidly down the canyon OF the Sacra-
mento 10 the broad plains OF the Saora-
mento Valley in California. and thence
through vineyards and orchards to San

The onion is undoubtedly a wholesome
article OF food, in fact has many med
icinal qualities Of value, but II would be
difficult TO find more indigestible article
than fried onions, and 10 many people
they are Himply poison, but the onion
does not stand alone in this respect.
Any article Of food that ie not thoroughly
digested becomes a source of disease and
discomfort whether it be fried onions or
beel steak.
Tho reason why any wholesome food
Is not prom ctly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important element
OF digestion, some stomachS lack peptone, =,
others are deficient in gastric juice, still
Others lack hydrochloric acid.
The one thing necess airy TO do in any
case of poor digestion is to supply those
elements of digestion which the stomach
lacks, an nothing does this so thor
ouRhly and safely as stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
DR.. Richardson, in writing thesis on
treatment OF dyspepsia and Indigestion,
closes his remarks by saying, "for those
suffering from acid dyspepsia, shown by
sour, water risings, or for Aatulent dye

Every druggist in the United States
and Canada sells stuart's Dyspepsia
