upon the shoulders of relays OF swift
runners; but the strangers had entered
the city before they came in sight OF
the great pyramid of earth and stone,
larger than the pyramids of Egypt.
where the god of the air was wor-
SHIPPED. They came in the night, and
from the top of this pyramid they saw
the eternal fire blazing through the
darkness. with smaller fires shedding
their light from 400 towers rising above
the roofs of the houses
Although the gates of the city had
been closed the senttnels opened them
as soon az they learned that Nam and
Ital came from Montezuma, and they
were conducted through the dark
streets with secrecy to the house OF
the chief cacique. There they found
the leading men OF the city assembled
in conference At first they were In
clined to look upon the two boys with
suspicion, but the sight or the sea- OF
Montezuma was enough
Some Aztec mobiles who had been sent
by Montezuma several days before with
new presents for the white strangers
were with the caciques and they took
part in the council. The letters OF the
emperor were opened and read. 1t was
found that he commanded the people
of Cholula to treat the intruders kind
Iy IL they showed an intention to re-
upon advancing toward the capital 10
destroy them.
This order greatly pleased the
caciques. who hated and feared the
strangers 1t was already known that
they proposed to march 10 the capl-
tai when they left the city, so that
there was nothing to be done but 10
plan their destruction in accordance
with the order of the emperor.
Tao hat
all along had been the intention of the
treacherous caciques. A large number
of warriors from Tlascala had accom-
panied the strangers to Cholula. but the
caciques had objected to admitting
them within the walls on the ground
that they were ancient enemies and
they had, therefore, remained outside.
This reduced the strangers to their
own small force, which was greatly
outnumbered by the troops of the city
1t was agreed by the council that the
white men should be treated in
friendly manner and that the attack
should be delayed until they were
marching through the streets to leave
the city. Orders were given to erect
barriers 10 impede their progress and
to dig deep pits in the streets through
which they must pass. Sharp stakes
were to be placed in the bottoms OF
these pits so that when the great ami
mails upon which the strangers rode fell
into them they would be killed Album
dance of stones were TO be collected
upon the tops Of the houses to be hurled
upon the heads of the white soldiers as
men of the city were to attack them
when they were off their guard and
not expecting to be molested-
