A watery jade moon outlined
the ruined temple. and one
crumbling tower. Scattered under
the trees were rude thatched huts.
From the dark temple door came
low chanting murmuring OF
priests taking turns at religious
rites. l saw no lights, just the
purple night shadows which had
closed down on temple walls. The
village was deserted. 1 wandered
past a crazy row of huts. Not
child cried out at me; no cooking
fires showed red against the
forest.
THEN l came upon it-a long,
low hut, made of palms, re-
sembling the long g-house of Borneo
kampongs. The mutter of drums
came from this rhythmic, steady,
sending out an obscure warning
.. like a drunken mans insist
ent growl. Strangely, the sound

circled the long-house. At
each end was low door, each
concealing a Malay guard, lean
ing in toward the dim amber
glow. Parangs hung loosely from
rattan at their sides, but the
guards were intent upon the ritu-
al. A speck of light showed
through a crack in the thick palm
walls. To this l crept, putting
one eye to the narrow opening.
Two hundred natives squatted
in circle, lining the walls of
the long-house. Between the beat
ing of the drums, came their
heavy stifled breathing i'm
patient, anxious for something to
begin.
In the center stood a fat wax
candle, about foot high +.
casting monstrous shadows on
native faces. Malay lips sagged
apart. distorted and expectant.
Then | knew the name of the
game: THE Cat and Tiger" An
ancient pastime, ending in multi
alton and death for the victim:
At one end of the room two
natives held Jason Brock. He
was naked to the waist, sweating,
looking like an over-fed toad
matted black hair falling into his
eyes, which popped large in terror.
Brock was drunk, but not so
drunk that he didn't suspect what
was coming.
A TINY brass bell was tied by
~ thread to his neck. Brock
was the Cat. Not to pursue, but
to be pursued. by the Tiger.
At the opposite end stood An
drew. and beside him-a tall Ma
lay. with a tiger skin thrown
loosely over his head and should
ers. In the natives hand, curved
n,dnddu, glinting in the yellow
candle light. This was the Tiger.
Andrew whispered to him. The
drums kept beating. I heard
drums, the breathing of swelter-
ing Malays, shuddered at the
stencil of unwashed bodies-and
was helpless.
One man, against Andrew and
two hundred? I wasn't a fool.
The game began. An old crone
staggered from the crowd to sway
beside the wax candle. Rags flap
ped from her waist, and in one
hand dangled a live chicken. She
began to prance. and I saw her

the glow, aiming at the muttering

solid ash after exploding, which
fouled gun barrels and caused a
heavy smoke. Moreover, naturally

a common mineral. During the Ma

adequate and 1t was necessary to
prepare the material artificially by

Of vacant land was sprinkled with

was formed, which was then ex-

Start of Congressional Cemetery

On March 30, 1872, Henry Ingle
decided to the Christ church vestry
a square of ground known as Square
Ills and the name Of Washington
Parish Burial Grounds was given
to it. On May 80, 1S49, the vestry
changed the name to Washington
cemetery, yet it Is popularity known
as the Congressional cemetery. On
April Is, 1916, the vestry assigned
100 sites for the interment of the
deceased members of congress. On
December Is, 1923, 800 sites were
donated for the same purpose. Con-
gress afterward bought more land
and erected small freestone cento-
taphs, which form a conspicuous
feature; made sundry appropria-
lions for improvement, and began
to add its name to the cemetery.
Many congressman and government
officials are buried In this ceme-
terry, including Tobias Lear, secre-
tary to George Washington; William
Thornton, who drew the original
plans Of the Capitol; George Had
field, assistant architect of the Cap
itol; Elbridge Gerry Of Massachu-
sets, Vice President Of the United
States. Some congressman are still
buried In the Congressional GENE.
