A motley crowd tilled the street vhlch ran pant the. front of the ob ttourr temple, through which I gained entrance to the city, nnd all were htirrjlnp one vvny. With what I had been told, It did not tnkn inuch nrt to piles thnt the great Htnnc circle of our Lord the Sun whk their mark, and It grieved mc to think of how many venerable centurion thnt great fane hnd uprenrcd before the weath er und tlie earth tremor, without hiich profnnatlon ns It would witness ta-dny. And also the thought oc curred to mc: "Was our Great Lord nbovo drawing thin woman on to her destruction? Would He. take name a8t nnd final act of vengeance, when he consiimmated'hcr'flniil incrlflco?" ltut the crowd pressed on, thrilled and excited, and thinking little (na 1b a crowd's wont) on the deeper mat ter which lay beneath the bare spec tacle. From one quarter of the city walls the din of nn uttack from the besiegers made Itself clearly heard from over the Ihiukck, nnd the tem ples nnd the palnccH Intervening, but no one heeded It. They had grown callous, thesojtownsfolh, to the lint terlng of tamvnnd the' flight of fire dnrtH, nnd the other eiuotlonK of n bombardment. Their nerves, their hunger, thelr.desperntlnn were stutifr to Mich a pitch that little short of nn actual storm could stir them Into new excitement over the sleqe. All were wenpnned. The nnked car ried urmn li. the hope of meeting some one whom they could overcome and rob; those that had n possession walked ready to do n battle for Its ownership. There was no security, ) no trust; the lesson of clvlllntlon hnd dropped nwny from thrtc com mon people ns mud Is washed from the feet by ralu,.nnd in their new habits nnd their thoughts they had gone back to thn grade from which savages like those of Europe have never yet emerged. It was n grim commentary on the success of Pho renlce'H rule. The crowd merged mc into their ranks without question, nnd with them I pressed forward down the winding streets, once so clean and trim, now so foul nnd mud-strewn. Men nnd women had died of hunger In these streets these latter yenrs, nnd rotted where they lny, nnd. we trod their bones under foot as we walked.. Yet rising out of this pqitnl or nnd 'this misery were great pyra mids und palaces, the like of which for splendor and magnificence hnd never bpen seen before. It was n jar ring admixture. In time we came to the open space in the center of the city, which even Phorcnlce had not dared to t'neroach upon with her ambitious building cnemes, nnd stood on the secular ground which surrounds the most un dent, themest grand, and the barest of all this world's temples. Since the beginning of time, when , mini first emerged nmong the beasts, our Lord the' Hun hns always been hit chief est god, and legend says thut he raised this circle of stones him self to be n place where votaries should offer him worship. It is the fashion among us moderns not to tnke these old tales in a too literal sense; but for myslf, this one satisfies me. I!y our wile we can lift blneks weigh ing COO men, nnd set them as the cap stones of our grent pyramids. Hut to uprenr the stones of that grent circle would be beyond all our art, and much mora would It be impos sible to-day to trnnsport them from their dlstnnt qunrries across the rug- ged mountnlns. MMr t te ftelrkriees engrave fef,wrsl, out of sheer fatelnntlon for her beauty nnd eharra. Ylgn, the fan-girl, aloiie of all that vast multitude round the nun tem ple, contained herself within her, forWl paces and duties. She looked pained and troubled, It was plain to see, even from the dtstnnco where I stood, that she carried n heavy heart under the Jewels of her robe, It was fitting, too, that this should 1)0 to. Though she hod been long enough divorced from) his care and fostered by the empress, Ylga wns a datighter of Knetnon, and he was the chtcfest ofour Lord the Sun's min isters here' on cnrlh. She could not forget her upbringing now at this supremo moment when the highest of the old gods wns to be formally defied. And perhaps also (having n kindness for I'horenlce) she wns not n little dreadful of the consequences. ltut the empress hnd no eye for one sad look among all the sen of glowing faces, lloldly and proudly she strode nut Into the circle, ns thou-rh she hnd been the duly appointed priest for the sacrifice. And after her came a knot of men, dressed or priests, and bearing the Ictlm. Some of these were creatures of her own, und it was easy to forghe mere Ignorant laymen, won over by the glamour of I'horcnlco's presence, ltut same, to their shame, were men bom In the Priests' clan, nnd brought up In the grows and colleges of the Sacred Mountain, nnd for their npostasy there could be no palliation. The wood had nlrcady been stacked on the altar-stone In the due form required by the nnclent symbol Ism, and the empress stood aside while those who followed did whnt wns needful. As they opened out. I pnw that the victim wai one of the small, cloven-hoofed horses thnt roam the plains a most acceptable, sac rifice. They liointl Us feet with mctnl fr.vves, ami put It on the pyre, where, for awhile, It lay neighing. Then they stepped aside, and' left It living. Here wns an innovation. The false priests went back to the farther side of the circle, and I'hor enlce stood alone before the nltar. She lifted up her voice, sweet, tune ful and carrying, nnd, though the din of the siege still came from over the city, nn ear there lost a word of what was spoken. She raised her glance aloft, and all other eyes followed It. The heaven wns clear as the deep sen, a gor geous blue, llut as the words came (twee's) "IUCIC WITH TOtl. OUT8IDB THIS cmcLn." from her, so n small mist was born In thn sky, wheeling and circling like n ball, although the day was wind lees', and rnpldly growing darker and more compact. So dense had it be come that presently It threw n shndow on part of the wieml circle thai soothed It Into twilight, though nil without, where the people stood, was still garish day. And In the ball of mist were little quick stabs and splnshcH of noiseless tltiinc' She spoke not In the priests' sacred tonguethough such was her wicked cleverness thnt she may very well have 1 en rued it but lu the common speech of the people, so thnt all who .There were, nlnc-nnd-forty .of the ihenrd might understand, nml she told stones, alternating with spaces, and 0f her wondrous birth (as she chose set In an ccurntu circle, nnd ncross to name It), und of the direct nld of s '? the tops of them other (.tones were set, equnlly'huge. The stones were undressed nnd rugged; but the hugu umsslvcncss of them Impressed tli'r eye more than all the temples nnd daintily tooled pyramids of our won drous city. And in the' center of the circle, wns that still greater, stone whch formed.' tho altar,- and round which was carved, In the rude chisel ing of the ancients, the snake nnd the outstretched hand. The crowd which bore me on came to a standstill before the circle of r""V Die most nign gous, which iuui en abled her to work so many mart els. And in the end she lifted, both of her fair white nrmi towards the blackness above, nnd with her lovely face set with the strain of will, ut tered her flnnl cry: "Oany hlgh father, the sun, I pray you uovv to acknowledge me ns your very (laughter, (live this people n sign that I am Indeed a child of the godif, nnd no 'f rnll mortal.

The cloven-hoofed horse gave' one shrill neigh, and one cobvulslon, and fell back dead. Fames crackled out from the woodpile, and the air beenmo rich with the smell of burn ing flesh. And lot in another mo ment tho cloud above had melted Into nothingness, nnd the flames burned pale, und tho smoke went up in n thin blue spiral towards tho deeper blue nest of the sky, ( I'horenlce the empress stand there before the great wtone, ami before the minkn nnd tho outstretched hand of life which yrere inscribed upon It, flushed, exultant and oncoimoro ra diantly lovelyf'Mrt tk-a Imet of priests within the clrek, tttfce great mob of people without, fell te the" ground Bitoring. , , ri,-'i I".

Hut here Ylgn came up to u with a face that was white nnd a hand thnt shook and made suppljcatlou for my life. "If ho will hot leave the old god yet," she pleaded, "surely you will pardon him? He Is a strong man, nnd does not become a convert easily. You mny change him later. Hut think, I'horenlce, ho IsnPouenllon; nndlfyou slay him here for this one thing, there is no other mnn within all the marches of Atlantis who could so worthily serve", , The empre took the words from her. "You slut," she cried out. " have you near mo to nppolnt my ward robe nnd carry my fan, nnd you dnre to put a meddling finger In my poli cies? Hack with you, outside this cir cle, or I'll have you whipped. Ajcuiwl I'll do more. I'll serve j on ni Kncmon served my captain, Tarcn. Shall I point n finger nt jou, and smite your pretty skin with a sudden leprosy?" The girl bowed her shoulders nnd went nvvay cowed, und I'horenlce turned to me. "My lord," she said, "1 am like a young bird In the nest that ha.n suddenly found its vings. Wings hnvc so many uses thai l am curious to try them nil." "May ench new flight they take be for the good of Atlantis." "Oh," she said, with an ejc-flnsh,"! kitovv whnt you have most nt heart, llut we will go back to the pyramid nnd talk this out at more leisure. I prny j on now, my lord, conduct me back to my rltllng benst." It appeared then that I wai to be condom d for not ottering her wor ship, nnd so putting public question on her deification. t appeared als,o that Ylgn's Interference wni looked upon ns untimely, and, though I could not understand the exact reason for either of these thlngj, I accepted them as they were, seeing that they for wnrded the scheme that Zaemon hnd bidden mc to carry out. So when the empress lent mo her fingers warm, delicate fingers they were, though so skillful to grasp the weapons of war I took them grave ly, and led her nut of the great cir cle, which she had polluted with her trickeries. I had expected to see our Lord the Sun tnke venegennce on the profanation while it wns stIH In net; but none hnd come, and I knew thnt he would cliooic his own good timo for retribution' nnd appoint what In strument he thought best, without my raising n puny nrm to guard his mighty honor. So I led this love)', sinful unman back to the huge red mammoth which btood there tamely In waiting, and the smell of the sacrifice came after us as we walked. She mounted the stair to the golden eastle on the shnggy ben-it's back, nnd bade mc mount also and take seat beside her. Hut the place of the fau-glrl behind her wns enipt), und what we raid as v.c rndo back through the streets there was none to overhear. She was eager to know what had befallen me after the attack on the gate, nnd I told the tale, lajlugstrcsi nn the worthiness of Nuts, and utter iug an opinion thnt with care the girl might lie won hack to allegiance iiRaln. Only the commands that nemonlnld upon me, when he and I jqtake to gether In the sacred tongue, did 1 withhold, ns it Is not lawful to repent these matters save only In the high coin. til of the prleHts Itwlf as they sit before the Ark of Masteries.

"In what particular?" "She inUses the liui'ii'Ht wooing of her equals." " "If you set up for a goddess" I said. "I'uhl I wish to be no goddess to you, Deucalion. Thnt was for the common people; it gives me more pow er with them; It helps my schemes. All you seven higher priests know thnt trick of calling (low n the fire, nnd It pleases me to filch It. Can you not be generous, und admit thnt a womnn mny be as clever in finding out these natural laws as your musty elder priests?" "ltcmalns that you are emprcM." "Nor empress either.

S)ie wns a student lu I'orls, anxious to see all the sights; nnd when nn escort or a chaperon was not conveniently to bo hnd, was uuwlso enough to go about alone, confident of her ability to tako care of herself, relates Youth's Companion. One day she decided to visit Fon talnebteau, the forest and Harblznn. She engaged a shabby okl carriage, the coachmuu of which seemed to her rnthor mote Intelligent thnn the av erage, who promised to tnko her to thn mott beautiful spots. She settled herself for enjoyment, nnd they rolled away. After driving for some time in the broad avenues, she perceived thnt they hnd turned into nnrrovv, little used nnd secluded byways, which ap peared to lead to the depths of tho forest. She inquired whore the man was taking her, but ho clicked to tho horse, cracked hla whip and nppnrcnt ly did not henr. Shu repented her de mnnd, but rgaln it wns drowned If thn snapping of the whip. She repeated her demand, but ngaln It wns drowned In the snapping of the whip. Then sho raised her voice: "Cocherl Btopl" No answer; more clicking nnd whip ping. "Cocherl I wish to return Imme diately." The conchmnu was deaf. "Cocherl Immediately, do you henr?" No response; the woods grew gloom ier, tho road IoiicIIct, nnd to put n climax to her fears the driver sudden ly descended from his box, left the carriage standing, nnd darted Into tho nenrest glnde. She grew fnlnt with fright; doubtless he hnd gone to sum mon his pals fellow ruffians con cealed nmong the trees. They would presently return I She held her brenth nnd waited.

It was a mush room I "I have found a flno place for mush rooms," he. explained, cheerfully. "My wife and I arc very fond of Shem; we will go there and gather them to-morrow." That was all.
