I sent up my card, so just said to
the clerk in a casual manner: Mrs.
Utter is stopping with you. Give me
the number of hr ROOM
Come in" said a liquid voice,
which still had a note of hardness
in it.
A very pretty woman rose to her
feet and viewed me with startled
eyes. 1 stepped over to the wall
where the telephone hung and then
said:
81 am Mrs. Richard Waverly."
eff that is the case am very sorry
for you," she answered, haughtily,
''but can hardly see where any good
can come from your calling on me"
She took step toward the phone.
Pardon me; you should know
being a woman like mysef-that
when another woman makes up her
mind to do thing as repugnant to
her as l am doing now she will GER
tainly accomplish it." Mrs. Utter sat
down. 1 still stood by the phone"
"Now, Mrs. Utter, know as well
as you that my husband has been
made a victim by you. l know as
well as you that he is innocent. The |
only thing of which am not sure is |
whether you are doing this on your
own account and expect to get a |
great deal of money from Mr.. Wa
verify or whether you have been paid |
by that political gang in to |
ruin my husband if possible.
Naturally, as you say you do not |
wish any money think the latter |
superstition is correct"

sorry for you, Mrs. Waverly, for I
can see that you believe in your hus-
band, but your husband certainly
bought my ticket from another state
into this in violation of the Mann act
and he will have to suffer the con-
sequences"
Any one but a wife who had the
faith in Dick that had would have
been discouraged and perhaps con-

my husband is a man, Mrs. Utter,
and you, l can see, are a pretty wom-
an with magnetism and personality.
but there is one other thing that l
base my conclusions on: Dick is not
what you might call a woman's
man." neither is he fool, and, with
everything to lose, l am quite sure he
would think twice before he picked
up with strange woman and on the
impulse OF the moment took her to
his home town. My dear lady, you
may be able to convince a male jury
to that effect, but you certainly
could not do so if the jury was COM
posed of your own sex. l would much
quicker think that Mr.. Waverly would
do this thing with Miss Fairlow,
whom you met at dinner that night
and whom he has known for many
years"
Mrs. Utter gave me quick glance.
You have the confidence of a beau

are more accurately cut than those of the
great buildings at Washington, and blocks
weighing tons are fitted together like a
mosaic. / have seen stones that are solid
blocks twice as high as a man upon horse
back and IL feet in thickness, and have ex-
amined buildings that are put together
without mortar and fitted more evenly than
were the tombs of the Egyptian kings found
in the pyramids.
But it would take large book to describe
the wonders of the Inca rule and the many
phases of its civilization. In this letter
can show you only some of the remains as
they exist here in the city of Cuzco. This
city today has only about 10000 inhabt-
ants. 1t runs up and down hill at the head
Of a beautiful valley situated more than two
miles above the sea level in the heart of the
Andes. 1t is at the head of the valley and
standing upon the hills above it you can
look over vast eXpanse Of cultivated fields
and of irrigated farms. The town is one OF
two and three story houses with walls of
bright colors and roofs of red tiles. 1t has
plazas and gardens, a great market and
many comfortable homes
Its population is made up OF Indians and
whites and mixture, the offspring. of the
two races. 1t is a Latin American city, with
many Catholic churches and with a civil
cation much like that of Spain some genera
tions ago. 1t is nothing like the Cuzco of
the past, and you will have to put on the
thinking cap of your imagination to realize
the difference between the capital of the
IncaS and the town of today. In the first
place, the present Cuzco does not cover one
tenth of the area of the ancient Inca city
The latter contained several hundred thou
sand inhabitants, and at the height of its
fame it may have been as large as the city of
Washington.
They are still finding ruins of the ancient
buildings far out in the valley, and the re-
mains of some of the structures in Cuzco
upon which buildings now stand are of enor-

nous extent. Take the Temple of the Sum-
which l visited this afternoon. This covered
the whole square now occupied by the
church and convent of Santo Domingo
The foundation of the church is the old
walls Of that temple. In places it extends
20 or 80 feet from the ground. l was taken
through the buildings by one of the fathers
and shown how the great blocks had been
laid by the lncas, one upon the other, fitted
together SO closely, and that without mortar
or cement, or union of any description, that
| could not push the point of needle into
the cracks. This temple must have covered
more than an acre. The western wall of it
was concave, and the curves are as regular
as those of a circle A great part of this
building was plated with gold Their. was
great golden plate of oval form which rep
resented the sun, making one think of the
silver mirrors of the Shinto religion that are
still to be seen in Japan. In the temple
burnt also the sacred flame that was sup
posed never to go out, reminding one of the
fire worshipers of Persia, who do that to
this day. This flame was tended by the vir-
gins Of the sun, who had their vast convent
not far away. When the Spaniards con-
quered the Incas, they robbed this temple of
its gold. They melted up the images and
vessels used for worship, and tore from the
walls the gold plates From some of those
plates was made the custodia, great golden
box which is now preserved in the vault of
the Cuzco cathedral.
There is no doubt about the religious ma
ture OF these people of the high Andes. The
Quichas, who are the descendants of the
subjects of the Incas, are the chief church
goers of Peru. They are largely the support
of the priesthood, and although in the drest
poverty, they give large proportion of
what they make to the support of the
church. In travelling through the country
one sees little wooden cross rising above
the matched roof of every Indian hut, and
in the services at the cathedral here there
are more Indians than whites. Mixed with
their worship of Christ and the Madonna,
they have still much of the ancient cere-
monies and beliefs of the Incas. They pray
facing the sun, and they cross themselves
when they approach Cuzco, the sacred city
OF their ancestors.
| am told that there were temples of the
sun at many other places in PERU, and that
in certain centers the virgins of the sun had
their converts. These people had an idea of
supreme being, who was represented by
the sun. 1t was this being who created the
world and who in the future would reward
or punish them. They had Lords PRAYER,
which was somewhat as follows:
20 Conquering and Ever-present Creator,
t1o,, ,bo
kind, saying let this be a man, and let this be
woman; thou who gavest life and who
vouchsafed that man shall live in health and
peace. Thou who dwellest in the heights,
in the storm clouds and in the thunder, hear
us and have us in Thy keeping. Thou who
art without equal unto the ends of the earth
grant us eternal life and keep us free from
danger.
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1914-05-17

Leaving the Temple of the Sun, I strolled

L
up the narrow street to where the Virgins of
the Sun had their establishment These
young women in addition to their religious
duties are supposed to have formed kind
OF harem for the Incas They lived in enor-
nous structures scattered over the empire
and some OF their converts are said to have
had thousand inmates. The one in Cuzco
must have covered eight acres, and the
walls, which are still in existence, run
around the greater part of square, forming
the foundations of many homes which are
on the second story of the structure. Much
of the first story has been turned into stores.
The granite walls have been cut away and
cave-like vaults made in which all sorts of
house industry goes on. I saw a saddler,
sewing on harness in one cave in the wall,
shoemaker pegging away in second, and a
carpenter saving and planning in third.
The blocks of this building are of great size
and they will apparently last for ages.
Other interesting remains were the walls
of the palaces which formed the homes of
the Incas. Take that of Pachacutec which
stood not far from where the great cathedral
OF Cuzco now is. The street upon which it
faces is not more than 5 feet wide and the
original walls of the palace are still pre-
served to the height of the first story From
there to the second story, the building is CO.
lonial. 1t now forms fine residence, occu-
pied by Tomas Gonzales, one of the rich
men of Cuzco. The Inca walls begin with
the street and extend for perhaps 800 feet,
including the greater part Of the block. The
stones are granite blocks, of different sizes,
beautifully chiseled, and joined with unions
SO fine that it is impossible to put in knife
blade between them Some of the stones
have many angles and one great block of
granite, about four feet square and weigh
ing several tons, has IL angles in it.
1t is said that these blocks were cut out at
the quarries from original patterns and de-
signs given by the architects. They are
joined together like mosaic, and although
went carefully over them, I could not find
one place in which I could put my knife
blade into the cracks. The unions are with
out mortar, and the stones are as firm and
regular today as when they were made.
Nevertheless, the builders knew nothing of
iron or steel. They had evidently no knowl-
edge OF cement or mortar, although it is
said that gold and silver were sometimes
placed between the joints as bedding ma
terial. | saw no evidence of this in my in
vestigation.
Some of the most remarkable buildings of
ancient Cuzco were the Notifications of
Sachsahuaman which crowned the top of
hill just back of the city. This hill rises pre-
cautiously from the level where Cuzco
stands to height of 700 or 800 feet 1t is
SO steep that one has to wind about to go up

From these Notifications | rode over the
hills and plains in the rear. They are COW
cred with the remains of the Incas. Much
of the rock consists of mighty powders,
some as big as haystack, which the Incas
had cut into all sorts of shapes. One is sup
posed to have been the scene of an open-ar
court, and is known as the Inca throne. The
original granite has been cut in Lodges or
steps rising to low table or bed upon
