some day the spirits of the outer
world would cross the sea of fire and
steal the secret Of its birth from
them. So, as soon as the Fire Spir-
it looked up and saw Tetzank and
the Storm King watching him at
his work he threw up his arms and
fell forward to the earth, knowing
that the prophecy had been fulfilled
and the secret was lost.
What will ye, o my masters?"
he cried.
arise and teach us the secret of
the birth Of fire, great ruler of
Popocatepetel. !"
Then the Fire Spirit stood up and
took two dry sticks and rubbed them
together till the fire came, saying:
1.-THE spirit Of fire is in every
thing. If you will but rub long
enough it will come out. Go home
and tell your people how to find it.
They will never forget and the fire
can never hide from them again"
When Tetzank returned to his
people they met him with great re-
joicing and ever since have praised
his name because he brought them
the blessing of fire. And in this
way the whole world learned the
great secret, SO long guarded by
