STAGING'S THE THING

melodrama Of the Northwest by willard

CHAPTER XV-(Continued)

So far. the natural features of the cave had
absorbed their attention now they were con.
fronted with a series of Titanic specimens OF
human architecture as amazing in design as
they were unexpected. 1t is misleading, per-
hans. to describe this architecture as the
product of human genius, because IN lhe'
material and general plan II followed close'E
the pattern and the Workmanship OF the ave
itself. Man had here adopted the haii.hh-
ished designs of nature and completed thSin
i'm "a way that carried out his own endS.
Thus. the gradually widening trail foiloweu
by AnitOo and his band of musicians MADE
toward a great archway that swept upward
in a glistening half circle of white stone, In
the center of this rounded arch, twenty-five
feet from the ground, CLEANED a huge round
tablet upon whose Smooth white surface
could be distinguished a series of engraved
characters. These characters, outlined in
gold. were Immediately recognized by General
Herran as similar in design to the picture
writing, presumably of Chibcha origin. that
covered n rocky promontory rising above one
Of the foothills skirting the Bogota table
land.
The sides of the arch rose in majestic
columns, shaped and smoothed to the sem
blance Of such pillars as those used in the
massive temples of ancient Egypt and, still
bearing out this similarity. each of these pill
lars stood at the head of a long row that
stretched away indefinitely in the darkness
beyond.
