Charles, however, perceived that Ross
began to play, aa he rudely termed it,
"the serious young man,” bis vexation
became very apparent
“It was qnito had enough in my sis-
fer,” be broke forth on Ross excusing
himself from dinner on the plea of at
tending with Lilian a native prayer
meeting, ‘‘hut to have yon, a grown
man, meddling and muddling in such
tomfoolery passes patience. Can’t you
leave the natives alone? They’re much
better aa they were—confounded liars
■t the beet, but if they turn Christian
they'll be positively pest endurance. ”
“I think, Mr. Karuey. ” said Ross
eoldly, ‘‘that we will not discuss fur
ther a subject on which we cannot
Bgrea. If more were like your sister,
there would be few liars id the wtgld.

of its corner gopuramn, or towers, was
now in view, faintly ontlined against
the dark sky, his eyes, now need to the
gloom, disoerned the ontline of a white
dress, and he felt snre it was Lilian
who was gliding far before him. He
quickened his pace, hat to- bis sorprise

tinued to be that of a swift gliding
along rather than walking. She was
near the tower, he fancied, and now aa
he saw her form sweeping on thither he

so common in nightmares, curiously
enough made him fancy momentarily
that he was only dreaming and would

tiveukee, — g dwarf,
armed with an ax, aa Ca^ki, with »
sword and a winged hong, and in many
other shapes. Before each of these idols
burned a small lamp, and tba multiplic
ity of shadows thus created, the strange
carvings of the pillars, and tba utterly
inhuman aspect and expression of most
of the faces, sculptured according to Eu
ropean ideas, combined to produce a ter
rible impression on Roas’ mind, already
■o completely overstrained. Bnt what
were the idols, fierce, frowning, sensnal
and often hideously repulsive, as typical
of the worst and fonlest of human pas
sions and propensities, compared to what
he now saw at the farther end of this
awfnl hail, where he beheld arecambent
figure of Vishnu, a stalk surmounted
with the mystical lotus coming out of
his middle and over him for canopy the
bended necks and heads of four motion
less cobras?
Ross hsd seen before a representation
of this god resting on tiesba, his snake
of infinity, but the more be looked at
tbeee cobras the more oonvinoed was be
that they were real snakes charmed by
some occult Jugglery into the rigidity of
serpents of stone. There was a kind of
leveled space at the feet of the recumbent
idol, and this was overlaid with flowers.

mation, who finished by saying, "Re
fuse and you will be rallied, and your
temple too. ” .
The Brahman paused for breath for
two or three seconds and looked intent
ly on the ground. Then he raised his
head proudly. "You shall see, ” he said
haughtily, "how you wrong us. Wait
here a minute. '* Ross signed to his fol
lowers, and all crowded in, while the
Brahman, without deigning to look be
hind him, immediately disappeared.
Ross felt somewhat uncertain what to
^0. He did not wish to involve himself
and his followers in an attack on the
temple if be could possibly help it, al
though to the Brahman his attitude had
been one of the utmost resolution. Bnt
a minute or so passed ere they saw Proh-
rada returning, leading Lilian by the
band. She was still evidently insensible.
A few of the flowers that clung still to
her skirts showed that she had been
raised from the conch by the idol. Her
eyes were ciortid, and she moved stiffly
in obedience to the priest’s guiding
hands, as an automaton might be ex
pected to do. The trident asark of Vish
nu was on her forehead still.

not e moment to lore. He could not
stay to explain to Kurncy, for he hoped
by following at onoo to overtake the
unhappy girl, who had in some way
been drawn forth to what he knew not.
Slipping back to his room, he thrust in
to his bo-om a very long bludod knife
ho carried on occasions of danger, and,
scarcely thinking, but feeling only that
a crisis had come, he went out into the
night ami peered into the darkness. The

to the atmosphere for centuries had in

It was nervous work for Ross, who
had to cautiously feel his way, altbongh
his eyes, uow focused to the compara
tive darkness, could make out much iu
outline of the building nbontJiini.»
Ross, in climbing the gopuram, had
originally intended, by dropping down
inside, to flm^ entrance front the inte
rior inclosnres into the court of the tem-
pU>, but as ho now worked round «the
back of this tower he found hiuftelTbh
the roof of what ho know to be one of
the pillared hulls, and sundry streaks
of red light that eume up through crev-

The best thing clearly for Koes^yas to
climb back the way he had come, run
back to the bungalow and ronse np some
of their native employees and ‘‘rush”
the temple. That was the way be put it
to hiiipplf. He wasted no time, bnt was

His partner, at first incredulous, was
convinced presentlyTbut he flatly refus

Desecrate a templet And then, no doubt,
the rascals would take care thnfc Lilian
should not be found. Oh, no, that was
far too risky a thing. Beside^, if they
proved wrong they might raise the vil

right probably the same tbiu^ would
