tre In mis- path. II was an old woman
mumbling and sobbing incoherently as
she stumbled weakly in the direction
of the temple. Like an inspiration
the thought came to him that here
was his opportunity of gaining admit
tance to that multitude of women and
children. He seized the old woman by
the arm and spoke words OF courage
to her as he half carried he's on her
way. A few minutes more and blaze
of light burst upon them and the great
square In which the temple was situ-
ated lay open, before them. Half
hundred yards ahead a fire was burn
ing: oil and pine sent their iurid
flame high up into the night, and In
the thick gloom behind II, intensified
by the binding glare. Nathaniel saw
the shadows Of men. He caught the
old woman in his arms and went on
boldly. He passed close to thin line
of waiting men. saw the faint CLINT OF
freight on their rifles. and staggering
past them unchallenged with his
weight he stopped for moment to
look back. The effect was startling.
Beyond the three great fires that
blazed around the temple the clearing
was bathed In a sea of light; In its
concealment Of giant trees the temple
was buried In gloom. From the gloom
hundred cool men might slaughter
five times their number charging
across that death square.
Nathaniel could not repress a shud-
der as he looked. Screened behind
each Of the three fires was a cannon.
He figured that there were more than
a hundred rifles in that silent Gordon
of men. What was there on the oppo-
site side of the temple?
He turned with the old woman and
