of the people of the land which they
had conquered-perhaps after a single
battle.
Now, as the light faded, the wreaths
Of smoke which hung over the distant
fire mountain began to glow luridly.
Redder and more angry did they be-
come while the darkness gathered, till
at length they seemed to be charged
with pulsing sheets of flame propelled
from the womb OF the volcano. which
threw piercing beams OF light through
the eye of the giant loop that crowned
its brow. Far far fed those beams,
making a bright path across the land
and striking the white crests Of the bor-
dering wall OF mountains. High IN the
, air ran that path. over the dim roofs
of the city of Kaloon, over the river:
yes. straight above US. over the noun
tains, and doubtless-though there we
could not follow them-across the des-
ert to that high eminence on its further
side where we had lain bathed in their
radiance. Jt was wondrous and most

companions with fear. for the steersmen

They say. lord, that the spirit of the
mountain is angry, and pray her not to
destroy them"
Then. does that light not always
shine thus?" he asked again.
Nay. but seldom. Once about three
months ago. and now tonight, but be-
fore that not for years Let us pray
that it portends no evil to the land and
its inhabitants"
For some minutes this fearsome illu-
mination continued. then it ceased as
suddenly as it had begun. and there re-
the crest Of the peak.
Presently the moon rose. a white,
shining ball, and by Its rays We per-
ceived that we drew near to the city.
But there was still something left for
as to see before we reached its shelter
While We sat quietly in the boat-for
the silence was broken only by the lap
ping OF the still waters against its sides
and the occasional splash OF the slack
ened tow line upon their surface-we
heard a distant sound as of a hunt in
full cry.
