half way to the temple, of which one
of its corner gopurains, or towers, was
now in view, faintly outlined against
the dark sky, lyis eyes, now used to the
gloom, discerned the outlino of a whito
dress, and he felt suro it was Lilian
who was gliding far beforo him. Ho
quickened his pace, but to his surpriso

tinued to be that of a swift gliding
along rather than walking. She was
near tho tower, ho fancied, and now as
lie saw her fori sweeping on thither he
redoubled his speed and once or twico
called out. Whether it was that ho had
exhausted hinself in the chaso or that
tho horror of what seened to him now
tho working of somo awful, subtle,
wicked power had tomporarily paralyzed
his voico ho knew not, but ho was con
sciou. that his efforts to call were little
moro than a whisper or a gasp, and this,
so common in nightmares, curiously
onough inado him fancy iomentarily
that he was only droaming and would
presently wake. Tho next monient lio

yet rested oni,
The hall was dimly lIghted b~y many
lamps, brinin brigh relie th
many idols around of gold and silver'
and brass and even iron. Thero could be
seen ropresentations of Vishnu in his t
ninny forms,'sonie of which Ross recog- I
nized, while others were entirely strange I
to him. Vishnu could be gazed on hero I
as a flh, a boar, a man lion, an awful (
image of absolute ferocity, animated 1
by devilish. intelligence of shoor destruo
tiveness, as a dwarf, as Parasurama,
armed with an ax, as Kalki, with a
sword and a winged horse, and in many I
other shapes. Beforeeoch of these idols I
burned a siall lamp, and the multiplic- I
ity of shadows thus oreated, the strange t
carvings of the pillars, and the utterly
inhuman aspect and expression of most
of the faces, sculptured according to Eu- I
ropean ideas, combined to produce i ter- I
riblo impression on Ros' mind, already I
so coiplotoly overstraind. But what
were the idols, fierce, frowning, sonsual
and often hideously repulsive, as typical I
of the worst and foulest of human pus
idons and propensitic.-, compared to what
ho now saw at the farther eiid of this
awful hall, where lie behoeld a recumbent
figure of Vishnu, a stalk surmounted
with the mystical lotus coming out of
his middle and over himi for eanopy the 1
bonded necks and heads of four motion
loss cobras?
itoss had soon before at representation
of this god resting on esha, his snako
of infinity, but the more lie looked it
these cobras the more convinced wits ho
that they wore real snakes charmed by
soic occult jugglery into the rigidity of
scrpents of stoio. There was a kind of
leveled space at tihe feet of the roouibent
-idol, and this wis overl it id with flowers.
Whilo Ross still gaze d fascinated and
breathless a slight mound struck his car,
tho sibilant rustle of slight drapery
sweepmig over a stono perforce, and lie
saw cominig out from the black shadow
Of soe of the distant columns a Brah
miia, his breast sioared with sacred
ashes9, leading by the hand a drooping
figuro, in which lie recognized Lilian.
Ross had never seeii a somnilainulist,
but he felt sure tlhat this unhappy girl I
who now allowed hersolf to be guided I
right tip the flower strown coneh it the
feet of the fearful idol representing
Vishnu, beneath the horrible canopy of
cobra heads, was under the influeneo of
sonio drug or magnetic influence which
rendered her for time time a helpless tia
tonaton in the hands of lie subtlo Brahl
Man, inl whon, as lie cmo nore under
the light of the hanging lamps, he reo
ognized Prehrada. Ross divined ill by
a flash of intuition. The reveiigeful and
greedy priest had soieliow drawn Lili
an to the temiple and wias nOw ab1ou1t to
marry her fo Vishnu, and doubtless
trustei to Iiis own devilish art to in(unce
his victii to becoio a convert and
bring to the teiiple ier fortune. Ross
had oice heard of somet ihig of the kind,
but had laughed at the thing its impls
sible. His breathi 'aiimo in pitits ; his
heart felt chill as he reflected on his
present imipotence to interfere.
110 saw, as a mian inl a dreamti, the
Braiinian very gently lay his victiim,
who appeared absolutely iimensible to
all around her, un the floral couch and
then lie marked her forehead lightly
with the trident sign of the god at

the idol and the row of motionless ser

'lThen, glacin lg oniceor tal0it hiis v'ict im,

The best thing clearly for Rloss was to

him, but Chacrles Karney decamiped, ter'

called up himself all the Christianized
nactive'acid employees of thie plaiitation t
anmd explained the awful position of their,
young mistress. They felt amid alppreci- I
ated thie situation infinitely more than
Charles Karnoy could, even had lie hind
a week to reflect, and, boeig hastily I
armed by Ross, ho at the head of this
Impromptu levy went down to the temi

traordlinary promptitude to take the
Blrahmacns by surprise, to iniduco a panic
acid to effect a rescue by a coup do maiin,
The plaii was well conocived and the ox
cution wvas brilliant. On arriving be
fore the gopuram gate Rosa knooked,
or rather thundered, at it, Aoterminefd,
to blow it dowvn with a small bag of
powvder if no one came. To his amaze
mhont, after some delay it was opened,
amid by Prohrada himself, Ho put oni a
ho gleaming arne of the little company
>ressing around Ross and asked what
his outrage meant. "It means," said
.oss sternly, "that you must give up
netantly and uninjured the Mon Sahib
Carney. She was to bo found, " lie add
id, "in the hall of idols at the foot of
rishnu.I"
Probrada heard him to the end with
I saroastio look, and it was impossible
0 tell from his demeanor how startled
1e was at the exactitudo of Ross' infor
nation, who finished by saying, "Re
use and you will be ruined, and your
emplo too."
The Brahman paused for breath for
wo or three seconds and looked intent
y on the ground. Theu he raised his
toad proudly. "You shall see,'" he said
taughtily, "how you wrong us. Wait
tore a minute." Ross signed to his fol
owers, and all orowded in, while the
3rahman, without doigning to look be
tind him, immediately disappeared.
Ross felt somewhat uncertain what to
lo. Ho did not wish to involve himself
ud his follewors in an attack on the
emplo If ho could possibly help it, al
hough to the Brahman hisattitudo had
ecn one of the utmost resolution. But
k minut e or so passod ore they saw Proh
ada returning, loading Lilian by the
jand. Sho was still evidontly insensible.
4 few of the flowors that clung still to
ir skirts showed that she had been
-aised from tho couch by the idol. Hr
iyes were closed, and sho ioved stiffly
in obedience to the priest's guiding
lands, as an automaton might be ex
)octed to do. The trident mark of Vish
i wats on hor forehead still.
"Scot'' said th lirahmani. "The mom
ihib boars Vishnu's mark. Sho strayed
nto our temple, cntered the hall of idols
l11d lay down at the foot of Vishnu.
What oculd we do? If you must have
ier, take her." And his eyes added as
ts tongue stopped abruptly, "Tako my
loadliest ourse with her too.''
Ross did not choosl to argun or in
iuiro into details. Lilian was his at
Ist, and, el'"sing rould, they gently
)ior her, still in a sonnamibulistic Con
lition, to the hizugaloiw.
it w.as a long while before Lilian
tould bo made to understand all that
)ad happeined, and it was plain that
ier nervou.s system wits Ierribl y v shaken.
,he shiuddIIiored at th sight of a native

,unge. She was hianli ted witi a fearful
den of being again irresistibly iililed
o entor ai Hindoo t mniplo and becamo
itterly incapable of continuing her mis
ionary work.
Ross (lissolved his pirtnership with
Kariey, and, having persuaaded Liliatn
;o give hii the right to proleet her
iight aid dly, they were married, and
t did not requiro iuii further persun
nion oil the part (if Ross to iiduice his
wife to leave In(i alid her brother, for
whoi she felt tilie same contempt as her

ho was irresistibly impelled to walk in
her sleep into the temiple, but it was
long beforei she could baiiish fron her

The Expeilence of' an Ambitious Man

The following story is told of a

LONGEST RUN IN THlE WORK D.
1 Cornwall Express Train Goes from
LJoUlonl to Exeter Without Stop
Vow~ York Herald.
The lonrgest regular daily run made
ithout a stop by any railway train in
,he world has just been placed on the
ichedule of the Great Western railway
)f Ingland.
It is made between. Padding ton sta
ion in T..ondon, and 10xeter, a distance
>f 194 miles in three hours and thirty
tIx minutes, by what is known as the
Jornwall express. It is remarkaLbb.
mot so much owing to the time, as for
he fact that not a stop Is made f rom
mo end of the line to idio ottier. There~
>ave boen longer runs made without
m stop, but they have b'een made by
peoal and not regular trahni. The
mverage speed attained by the Corn.
vall express when making this run l,
61.7 miles an hour, although owing to
peculiar construction of the road at
3ristol, 118 miles from London, the
rain is obligefl to slow down to a speed
if ten miles an hour.
Tis express train is composed of six
ongc->aches, a tender and engine. A n
liorican would call it a vestibul
rain, but the English pr1efer' to cil
ho car9 " bog ie cleresturled corridor
oaches," bogie being a term applied
o the trucks. They are fully na havy
a an ordinary drawing room car, each
no weighing abnut forty-seven tbou
and pounds, while the train without
he engine and tender 'is eighty-one
ons, making a total weight of the
rain as It rushes al6ng on its long run
wo hund red and twon'y-one tons.
During the run it is neceseary to
,ake water for the ongino twico. This,
ioweve.r, does not necessitatO any stop,
is it is taken up fromu a trcnch besido
,ho track as the wrain speeds along at
1early a mile a minuto.
The engine which draw.; this es.en
Gially " through train" is a curious
tookung ponderous affair, quito unliko
iny locomotive seen on American roade.
[t has on either side a single hugo
Iriving wheel, seven feet eight inches
In diameter, while what must by com
parison be called the timall wheels of
ho engine, six in number known as
railers, are four feet six inches in dia
motor.
The wate" tank of the engine holds
10,000 gallons, and when running att
rull speed there is a steai pressure of
160 poun(s to the ,(Juaor inh, whilt
hore. is a heating surface of I .561id
iquaro feet.
Each day the run is made, the train
eaving Paddington statioi st, 10:25
)'clock in the morning, and , n"ver
1ails to roll Into St. David's tation, in
[xer, exactly on time. The timev
1lowed by the schcdislo for this run
nakes no allowance for delays of 1uuny
cnd. Even the time lost in going over
1ho 1001) around Bristol and the neces.
lity of slowing down when golii.
,hrough Bath is "nt al'oweI fr'..
