The woman is within the ark al

"Then it remains to raise you to
the sublime degree of the Three,
and if your learning is so small that
you will not understand the keys to
many of the powers, and the high
est of the mysteries, when they are
handed to you, that fault cannot be
remedied now"
Certainly the time remaining was
short enough. The fight still ragged
down at the gate in the pass, though
priests had held their ground so
long. But the ocean rolled in upon
the land in an ever-increasing flood,
and the mountains smoked and
belched forth more volleys of rock
as the weight increased on their low
er parts, and presently those that
besieged the mountain could not fail
to see the fate that threatened them.
Then there would be no Withholding
their rush. In their mad fury and
panic they would sweep all obstruc-
ton resistlessly before them, and
those who stood in their path might
look to themselves.
But there was no hurrying Zaemon
and his fellow sage. They were
without temple for the ceremony,
without sacrifice or incense to deco
rate it. They had but the sky for a
roof to make their echoes, and the
gods themselves for witness. But
they went through the work of rails
ing me to their own degree, with all
the grand and majestic form which
has gathered dignity from the ages
and by no one sentence did they cur
tail it. A burning mountain burst
with believing roar as the incom-
ing waters met it's fires, but gravely
they went on, in turn reciting their
sentences. Phorenice's troops broke
down the last resistance, and poured
in a frenzied stream among the
groves and temples, but. still they
quavered never in the ritual.
It had been said that this cere-
mony is the grandest and the most

with our holy religion; and certain

DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS.

DESTRUCTION OF ATLANTIS.
A tottering old priest came up and
touched me on the shoulder.
"Well?" 1 said sharply, having
small taste for interruption just now.
"News has been carried to the
Three, my king, of what is threat
ened"
Then they will know that I stand
here now, brother, to enjoy the finest
fight of all my life. When it is
finished l shall go to the gods, and
be there standing behind the stars
to welcome them when presently
they also arrive. They have my re-
grets that they are too old and
too feeble to die and look upon
fine killing themselves"
81 nave commands from them, my
king, to lay upon you, which 1 fear
you will like but slenderly. You are
forbidden to find your death here
in the fighting. They have further
use for you yet"
