When the Spaniards under Pizarro had

their greed for the precious metals, and
they took most of their treasures from

Ihe chain was pure gold. wrought into
links about foot long and as large around
as the wrist of man. The links were so
heavy that man could not lift more than
one OF them at time, and it is said that
hundreds of Indians were required to
carry the chain. They took it UP the val
ley of Cuzco and threw it into the lake,
and there it is supposed to lie to this day,
although many have searched for it in
vain. The treasure hunters have dived
into the waters and clawed over the
mud near the shore. They have also

This self-denial increased her reputa-

the hostility of the regular clergy.
Seniavina fell i.,to trap. The priests
of the local C lurch of the Annuncia-

She delivered a long address in which
she repeated her assault upon the Of

reform. A fanatical peasant left the
church in a rage, returned with paw

The building of the great granite cathe-
dral in Cuzco. which stands on the plaza
near the ancient site of one of the Inca
palaces, was brought about by the dis
covery of an Inca treasure. Its origin
was in a miraculous dream OF the bishop
In this dream the Virgin Mary appeared
before the bishop. and told him that she
wanted a cathedral in CuZco. She liked
the location on the ancient plaza of the
Incas and described the grand building as
it now is. The bishop replied that MS
people were poor, that he had no
money and that he could not possibly
raise the sum needed. Thereupon the
Madonna directed him to go to place
near Cuzco and dig. There he would
uncover some of the lost treasures of the
Incas. This was duly reported to the
with the bishop in a great procession TO
the place designated. They dug down into
the earth and there found a large store of
gold. 1t was with this gold that they
began the cathedral which although here
far off from the sea, and between the
walls of the Andes, is one of the finest
churches of the new world.
have already described the Cathedral
of Cuzco. All told it is perhaps more
gorgeous than was Coricancha, the Inca
Temple of the Sun. 1t is vast museum
of gold carvings and beautiful paintings.
One of its treasures is a life-szed figure
of the Christ fastened to wooden cross
by great nails of solid gold. The figure
is decorated with jewels and the pedes-
tai or car upon which the cross stands is
plated with silver and incrusted with
diamonds.
This image is greatly revered by the
Indians and also by the other people of
Cuzco. They carry it around through the
streets on Good Monday, at which time
they kneel down on the sidewalks and
pray before it. They call it the Lord of
the Earthquakes and believe that their
city is safe from seismic disturbances as
long as the annual procession takes place.

with treachery. and put him in prison
about fourteen feet square. The inca
king took a stone and scratched a mark
on the wall as high up as he could reach,
telling Puzarro that he would NIL the
room to that height with gold If he
could only be free. This proposition was
accepted, and gold in the shape of vases,
utensils and plates was brought IN from
all parts of the empire. 1t was melted
down by the Indians under the direction
of the Spaniards. When the prison room
was filed to above the mark made by
Atahualpa, he was released. But he >was

later was accused of plotting against the

vene Before it had time to take meas
ures the movement in favor of women
priests made tremendous progress, par
ticularIy in west Siberia and along the
Russian-Siberian frontier. and it would
take more than the efforts of Procurator
of the Synod Sabler to root it out.
The main cause of the spread Is the
propaganda carried on by the hrst womI
priest in European Russia, SenlaV1na,
a dealer in fruits and vegeta bies in the
town of Perm. Seniavina is first cou-

lect spoken in the Trails. and smatter-
ing of medical knowledge got from her

Thus equipped, Seniavina started to
reform the world, and she made great
progress until she fell into trap set by
her enemies.
Seniavina started to preach in wooden
church, little more than hut, on her
husbands farm. The peasants focked
TO hear her and the local churches were
deserted. Trouble began. for what may
be done freely in the far Yenesi district

Seniavinas church and arrested her. She
was tried by the Perm assize court for
'.arrogating to herself priestly dignity,
and was acquitted. 1t is q penal ofense,
said the court for an unordained person
to preach in church of the orthodox
faith but there is nothing to prevent
any one, who makes no pretenslons,
preaching in his or her own church.
Seniavina was released. Her followers
mostly men--women remain faithful to
the men prieSts-carried her enthusiastic
ally out of court; and SeniaVina began
a soul-saving tour. Before last Christ
mas she had induced forty three peasant
women of fairly good education, to be-
come priests. Seniavina declares that she
has divine vocation. The official church.
she says is ruined by prlestiy intemper,
ance and by the marriages of priests. and
it must be redeemed by women, who will
take an oath never to touch liquor and
not to marry Woman priests who are
already married must leave their hus-
bands. Seniavina proved her zeal by
leaving her own husband. She set up
house in a small hut near Perm, and all
last winter this house was the head
quarters of the woman priest agitation.

ment was held at Christmas. At first
the propagandists were hampered for

Seniavina of the son of the Baku Tartar

Another story of lost treasure re-
Iates to a CuZco white man of Spanish
descent whom the Lord blessed with
numerous children. 1t is the custom here
that a godfather shall look after and
provide for his godchiid: and so. as this
man was poor. he tried to add to his re-
sources by getting corps of good god
fathers. So as the infants came one after
another he named each in honor of one
of the distinguished citizens of the town

father swore that he would leave the rich

the first man he met on the street aftef
its birth. In due time the stork came
again, and the man. rushing out, saw a
poor Indian driving a caravan of llamas
into the town. He stopped him and told
him he wanted him to be godfather to ms
child. The Indian objected. saying that
he was poor and not fit to be godfather 10
a white child. The man then told of his
vow and finally persuaded the Indian to
accept the position.
In due time the baby was baptized and
the Indian appeared at the ceremony as
its godfather. He kissed his godson as
he left the church and the next day
came back into Cuzco with score OF
llamas. loaded with wood. He took this
wood to the father of his godchild, say
ing that he had brought what he could
and that he must accept the wood as a
gift. The man was thanked and the
wood was duly stored away in the court
of the house. Some time after that the
bundles of sticks and roots We're opened,
and inside each was found great bag
of gold in nuggets and dust In the
meantime the Indian had disappeared
and could not be found. The man took
the gold and built two large houses on
