BOOK TWO. CHAPTER I. ( Continued, )

He waved his hand, aud the first course was removed, The second consisited for the most part of delicacies in the preparation of which his artistes delighted ; at this time ap- peared the choclatt, of rich, frothy beverage served in xicaras, or small golden goblets. Girls, selected for their rank and uty, succeeded the boys. Flocking around him with light and echoless feet, very graceful, very happy, theirs was indeed the service that awaits the faithful in Mahomet’s Paradise. To each of his ancients he passed a goblet of , choclatt, then continued his eating and talk- ing.

Yes. Be they gods or men, I would give a province to know their intention ; that, uncles, would enable me to determine my policy—whether to give them war or peace. As yet, they have asked nothing but the | privilege of trading with us; and, judging them by our nations, I want not better _wartant of friendship. As you know, strang- ‘ers have twice before been upon our coast in | such canoes, and with such arms ; (the allusion | was doubtless to the expeditions of Hernandez do Cordova, in 1517, and Juan de Grijaiva, in | 1518) and in both instances they sought gold, ‘and getting it they departed. Will these go , like them ?” ‘‘Has my master forgotten the words of | Mualox ?” | ‘*To Mictlan with the paba !” said the king | Violently. ‘‘ He has filled my cities and people | With trouble.”

‘Yet he is a prophet,” retorted the old councillor, boldly, ‘*‘ How knew he of the com- ing of strangers before it was known in

, the palace .’”

The flush of the king’s face faded.

“‘Itisa mystery, uncle—a mystery too deep for me. All the day and night before he was in the Cu; he went not into the city even.”

“If the wise master will listen to the words of his slave, he will not curse the paba, but make him a frend.”

The monarch’s lip curled decisively.

** My palace is now a house of prayer and \sober life; he would turn it into a place of revelry.”

All the ancients but the one laughed at the irony ; that one repeated his words.

‘** A friend ; but how?” asked Montezuma.

| **Call him from the Cu to the palace; let

him stand here with us ; in the councils give ihim a voice. He can read the future; make ‘of him an oracle. O King, who like him can stand between you and Quetzal’ ?”

For a time Montezuma toyed idly with the ,zicara. He also believed in the prophetic fang of Mualox, and it was not the first ti ne

e had pondered the question of how the holy ,man had learned the coming of the strangers ; to satisfy himself as to his means of informa- tion, he had even instituted inquiries outside the palace. And yet it was but one of several mysteries ; behind it, if not superior, were the golden chambers, its wealth; and the , Writing on the walls, They were not to attributed to the paba: works sq wondrous could not have been done in one lifetime. They were the handiwork of a god, who had chosen Mualox for his servant and prophet; such was the judgment of the king.

Nor was that all. The monarch had come to believe that the strangers on the coast were Quetzal’ and his followers, whom it were vain to resist, if their object was vengeance. But the human heart is seldom without its sugges- tion of hope; and he thought, though resis

tance was impossible, may he not propitiate ? This policy had occupied his thoughts, and most likely without result, for the words of the councillor seemed welcome. Indeed, he could scarcely fail to recognize the bold idea they conveyed—nothing les$, in fact, than meeting the god with his own prophet.

“* Very well,” he said in his heart, ‘I will 'use the paba. He shall come and stand be- tween me and the woe.”

Then he arose, took a string of pearls from his neck, and with his own hand placed it ; around that of the ancient.

““Your place is with me, uncle. I[ will have a chamber fitted for you in the palace. Go no more away. Ho, steward! The sup- per is done; let the pipes be brought, and give me music and dance. Bid the minstrels come, <A song of the olden time may make me strong again,”

CHAPTER I. A TEZCUCAN LOVER,

Traces of the supper speedily disappeared. ‘Lhe screen was rolled away, and pipes placed in the monarch’s hand for distribution amongst his familiars. Blue vapor began to ascend to the carved rafters, when the tapestry on both sides of the room was flung aside, and the sound of cornets and flutes poured in from an adjoining apartment, and, as if answering the summons of the music, a company of dancing- girls entered, and filled the space in front of the monarch; half nude were they, ane fiash- ing with ornaments, and ariel with gauze and flying ribbons ; silver bells tinkled with each step, and on their heads were wreaths, and in their hands garlands of flowers. Voluptuous children were they of the voluptuous valley.

Saluting the monarch, they glided away, and commenced a dance. With dreamy, half-shut eyes, through the scented cloud momently deepening around him, he watched them, and in the sensuous, animated scene was disclosed one of the enchantments that had weaned him from the martial love of his youth.

Every movement of the figure had been careful'y studied, and a kind of ezsthetic philosophy was blent with its perfect time and elegance of motion. Slow and stately at first, it gradually quickened, then, as if to excite the blood and fancy, it became more mazy and voluptuous, and finally, as that is the sweetest song that ends with a long decadence, it was so concluded as to soothe the transports itself had awakened. Sweeping along, it reached a point, a very climax of abandon and beauty, in which the dancers appeared to forget the music and the method of the figure. Then the eyes of the king shone brightly, and the pipe lingered on his lips forgotten, then the musicians began, one by one, to withdraw from the harmoay, and the dancers to vanish singly from the room, until, at last, there was but one flute to be heard, while but one girl remained, Finally she also disappeared, and all grew still again.

And the king sat silent and listless, sur- rendered to the enjoyment which was the ob-

yet he saw the lithe and Poeating forms of the dancers in a and motion; yet he felt the sweet influence of their youth and = and beauty, not as a passion,

ut rather a spell full of the suggestions of motion, when & number of men came noiselessly in and, kneeling, saluted him. Their costume was that of priests and each of them carried an instrument et music fashion. ed somewhat like a Hebrew lyre.

= Ah, my minstrels, my minstrels!” he said, his face flushing with pleasure. ‘ Wel- come in the streets, welcome in the camp, welcome in the palace, also! What have you to-night ?”

a — last we — admitted to your pre- sence, ing, you é us com hymns to the god j—.> uate

** Yes; I remember.”

‘““We pray you not to think ill of your slaves if we say that the verses which come unbidden are the best ; no song of the bird’s so beautiful as the one it sings when its héart is full.”

The monarch sat up.

** Nay, I did not command. I know some- thing of the spirit of poetry. Itis not a thing to be driven by the will, like a canoe by a strong arm ; neither is it a slave to come or go at a signal. 1 bid my warriors march, I

order the sacrifice, but the lays of my minstrels have ever been of their free will. Leave me now. To you

are my gardens and palaces. I warrant the verses you have are good, but goask your hearts for better.”

They retired with their faces toward him until hidden behind the tapestrys.

tag I love a oong, uncies,” continued the king; *‘I love a hymn to the gods, and a story of battle chanted in a deep voice. In the halls of the Sun every soul is a ministrel and every tale a song. Kut let them go; it is well enough, I promised Itzlil’, the Tezcu- can, to give him audience to-night. He comes to the palace but seldom, and he has not asked a favor since I settled his quarrei with tho lord Cacuma. Send one to see if he is now at the door.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—_———_<

Tacoma, Washington

Territory.

Sir, —Distance does not keep me from thinking about P. E. Island and its many charms. Only those that have been from home can fully appreciate that little gem and its many attractions, its verdant fields luxuriantly waving in the sun, presenting a scene far different from the mountains in the wild West.

Not misrepresenting Washington Terri- tory or any other territory, but it comes natural for every person to regard their native land on equal terms to any other. Writing of the country | can truthfully say that its prospects, especially this city, are above anything I have everseen. Here we have a city standing on a hill, being pro- minent from every point of view for miles around, Four years ago, two-thirds of this

be|city was a wilderness, but emmigration

energy and the woodman’s axe have lessen- ed the number of trees toa great extent. As it 1s we are surrounded by lumber of very large growth, and it is in constant de- mand. Every business is fully represented in this city. At present there are nine saw mills, and that number are incapable

of supplying the demand of lumber, the greater part of which is ex- tensively used in hwvuse building and a large quantity is exported

to China and Japan. Coal mines are sup posed to be plentiful in this territory, such veins of nut coal have already been discovered, and claims are being constant- ly taken for the same purpose. Gold and silver mines are also opening their glitter- ing nuggets to the eyes of the world, but these resources are yet undeveloped owing to the newness of the country, and want of railroads, laborers, etc.

In navigation Tacoma is not excelled by any city in the United States; the river is navigable to the largest ships froin the Pacific Ocean to the piers of Tacoma,

Real estate is one of the many booms of this city. Small lots of land in different parts of the city are rated and sold from one to twenty thousand dollars, from which very large amounts of money have been made by the wily speculator and real es- tate agents, who are still pushing their business to the fullest extent of their capa- city. People are arriving here from all quarters of the globe to the number of two and three hundred aday. The hvtels are always crowded with new-comers, and several tents are pitched on the suburbs

possible to secure.

The climate is delightful. In summer the thermometer seldom registers above 80°, whicn can be accounted for by the prevalance of the north winds. In winter the wind blows from the seas of China and Japan, preventing frost of any extent; snow isarare substance, with the excep- tion of the mountains, where the tewering peaks are continually being painted by the frosty element.

Game is very plentiful in this territory, which is often announced by the crack of the sportsman’s rifle and the falling of a deer. A species of lion, similar to the African lion in appearance, is sometimes discovered at the foot of the mountains; they are small of stature, but very danger- ous. Now, Sir, the readers fo your paper can form an idea of Washington Territory and its advantages which, which are rapid- ly improving and ready for the energetic

rospector.
