CHITOR lCoNTINUEDl

There are many chattri or tombs. At the foot of the hill is the cow's mouth, out of which trickles stream of water. This is kind of scoop shaped like the mouth of COW and is stuck in the bank. It supplies the tank. There are generally crocodiles in the tank. The door is shown through which the women entered when they sacrificed them selves. 1t is locked and always kept in repair. There were several worshipers there when l was there.
 Near by are two very large Hindoo temples carved from top to bottom. Rising out of the heaps of ruins to the height of over l20 feet is the Tower of Victory built about 500 years ago. It also is carved from top to bottom with battles, seiges, gods and goddesses, etc. The steps are worn smooth and have a polish like alabaster The walls also have that smooth, oily feeling, and when you touch it you feel as if you had touched the naked body of na- tive. The polish and the worn furrow in the middle of each step were made, not by hobnailed shoes, but by naked feet. When 1 went to the top four na' lives accompanied me, all of them barefooted, and they were only part of the millions of barefooted climbers. Probably not one in a hundred thou sand of all who have climbed this tower wore shoes. The smooth walls were also made by the naked hands and naked bodies coming in contact with them.
 visited the palace of Kumbo, saw where the rajahs used to be crowned beautiful cham Der. 1 saw another cham Der near by with it's ceiling black ened with smoke. In the center was a platform of stone about four feet high and eight feet square. This was the suttee stone where the wives of the raiahs were burned. Back of this was a door opening into gloomy passage. At the end of this is another door through which you are allowed 10 look. You see a great dark cellar which seems to be acres in extent.
 When Akbar took Chitor, Jaimal was the leader, as Udai, the actual rajah, had suddenly remembered that he had business in the mountains and had taken SAY of his wives and had gone off and founded the city of Udaipur, where | the rajahs now reside. Jaimal was only seventeen, but he was all right. His wife took a spear and fought by his side ] every day. His brave friend Patta was 1 killed and one night when inspecting | the Notifications Jaimal was shot through the body by Akbar himself,who had no idea whom he had killed. The people gave up, picked out guard to take the child rajah to safety. All the other men in Chitor surrounded the guard and marched out. It is said that Akbar, being struck by their bravery, allowed thousands of those men to es- cape. But he also found an empty city. A great smoke was seen rising above the palace of Kumbo, but the women and children were all burnt dead: the bodies in the dark cellar l spoke of. The othe time they sacri- feed themselves was not long before. PUdai's nurse had taken him and gave her own child up to be killed as the raiah. But Udai was not worth it.
 Chitor must be wonderful city to see by moonlight. There are many mosques, but more temples, nearly all
