by the stupendous project. You have
no guns-no army. How can you ex.
pect to succeed?"
"Before I strike, all these must be
obtained. But it is too soon to talk
of that now. Let US take walk
through the town."
Galneor was not unlike some Of the
quaint old cities to be found in Spain
or rural France. There was, however,
a striking difference between it and
any quaint old city I had ever seen.
1t was cleaner auu more nealtn1ui.
We walked through the Street OF
the Invaders, and as we walked we
talked. Evidences were abundant
that the strange people among whom
Mr.. Avery had lived so long fully
merited his unstinted praise as to
their industry and refinement.
We passed many houses that would
have reflected credit upon an English
or American occupant, so scrupu-
lousy clean and neat were they kept.
Many of them boosted of gardens,
and these were kept with great care.
The houses, almost invariably, were
pf.the low...wide porticoed and piazza
style that was so conducive to COM
fort in that salubrious climate, where
most of the time man lived out'of-
doors. In some of them the women
could be seen at their work. The
Jumars had no idlers. Every man
and woman seemed to be busy.
"Now, there is a house [ like" l
said, pointing to one a little larger
than the others. cit is, in its way,
imposing"
''That," said Mr.. Avery, els the
residence of the greatest living Jumar
none other than our friend Garu-
Saak. He is now at the mines. See
those mountains beyond? There he
is at work. But his wife must be at
home. She is never anywhere else.
Let us go in"
Mr.. Avery assembled the steps lead
ing to the wide porch, and without
ceremony opened the door.
Come, my good woman," he called
out in Jumarese. ''You have q guest.
At first there was no answer.
"She is probably i'll the garden.
Come, Anna Bac," he called out in a
louder tone, eve want to see your
face"
"Ah, the good teacher! Is it you?"
asked gentle voice.
The woman came in and babe us be
seated.

looking at me, she said, curiously:
"But our friend-he is lunar, aud
I do not know him? Whence came
he? Perhaps he is a Kalek and away
from his task. If so, the soldiers of
the governor will be pleased to find
him."
"Ho is Jumar-and heis KALI
