was atsrspped by a blasnket> which curtained

the edge sl the curl aln was drawn astdo a

after watitirtg a moment we passed the our.

'Duaky forms of O.Arib man and women

melnnuo to the notes of the instrument.
Who pufarmer held in one hand a little
miand, made of the Henna, hard shell of the
palm royal. He struck the wire with this
ataau axed a clear, sharp note rang out. A
Irambao flute joined with a droning wall,
�wfi .a dram, of the skin of a peccary,
zkretcbetl across the end of a saobion of
-hsUow log, rolled eub volumes of mound that
filled the oava with thunderinge.
A sbraavgoly carved Status of aofb gray
atsrma rquaattted on a table in the middle of
$cao room, its hands olasped about what
memad to Us a bov/l, resting on the knees of
kho image, Around Its brad was a band
Unt formed a curious head dreen, On

amil,ttd.ab :this vanfty of man, who had msdo
me YOU real progress since the artist who
asrtsate9 ttb%t Stony countenance crumbled to
0 forgotten dumb.
A tiny fire burned on the thick edge of
9 #bo bowl which tho statue hold. its smoke
gave a Strange fragrance, which filled the
,room most pleasantly.
9 Three grizzled, wrinkled old men stood
before the altar. At each of its ends stood
wotaon all 01d as
gray, as puckered as
n4tm szran •w'are. Thema maven were sultiae
rase wltobas of the Carlbs. About the nook
orf oaob hung a necklace of the teeth of
MaIgm ars, little bones from the fast of
mi almale, claws of the sloth, the tiger or the
xamissWna ]ion, or other things believed to
gxemaaeiv ocaulb valuo.
One of the bags hold pressed to her
bosom a little brown dove of..bho kind that
t ataltiy mom teas • Ovary pine 0164 hill and In

b�1,
bJ til
second woman held at hoc flab a young kid.
The sUcth makia hold in her hand a knife w
obsidfaa, Its short blade spreading with
jagged edge to a broad base that wag get in
a wooden handle, wound with thread and
p bhtukly coated with memo gum or varnish
1 that was hard cad blank and shining, The
seventh land last of theprieste fes, at the
ether corner of the flab stone, grasped by
lbs neck a tamagas, a marlimb well nigh all
deadly as a rattlesnake.
A nude girl of ten years stood at the aide
of the albar, oppaatto the chief pris.eb. 11 -or
+ head waa wreathed with fragrant jasmine
and hor ohorddere were ooverod with the
purple blomomo of the me.dre•de-cacao The
m9thor of the girl equatte:i behind the ohild,

by a shawl.

in t s turn, arad was followed by each woman
inthe coat row, and no on until all had snag
wink vatrc'1a tbat rose and fell in simple aura
dtaimdl oaf', node,
Then the inabbot of the victim broke into
P3 low aa*d mournful wall, and all the women
j olne 1. When that was done and allence felt
she gently pushed her child forward, and,
with head wrapped In her shawl, throw her -
0e11, face down, flab on the hoar, In the aban-
don of grief.
The girl leaned agalnsb the edge of the
albar, She took a blaz'ng splinter from the
boroh on the knees of bhe ebone grad, and
with ib touched a handful of dry fibres o?
the banana stalk, half hidden udder splint -
ate of pitob plus. The new fire fnabanbly
fl,xred up and illuminated bho face of the
victim, Sha wag Raimuaan, prettl(eb and
mweetost tompored of all the gentile Ilttlo
Carib maide I have kne:rn. As the flame
rose- and lighted her swsob brown face a mnr-
mur of oangrata',abion ran around the reom.
The child smiled p,oadly as she raised her
eyes to mina.
The wizened priest apposlto the child
beat slowly forward, touched her batween
the eyes with his finger, then 'withdrew his
hand, h's black eyca eb:affaebly fixed on
hers, uphold to moot that fanoinating ger?.
They stood Intently staring at each other
for full ,flve minuwa—it seemed an hour—
when tha bamboo pipes softly dromd and a
faint rumbling oamo from Chs drum. The
: worshippers snare broathlessly allent.
At a alga from the prt:®t tha little maid
lifted bobn her hands and extended them
over the altar, her g-(zs stili fixed on the
gliblering eyes of the oukla. Each of the
old priests ab the earnere of the Slab of
atoaa seized one of her wrists and palled
Lor gently farw%rd until her besom was
almeeb ever the fire her own hands bad
kindled on the sacrificial Stone,
The euklm who etsod bafara the girl sud-
denly caught the atone kn;fe from the baud
of the woman who held Ib and leaned
toward my little friend. I had believed
that the rlben were no more than Voudoo
mummery, an% that no real hsrm would
came to her—otherwise bbab orgwd. many
of them personalty well knower by me,
would not have darsd to let ere ba a wlD-
ne:s of their deeds ; but noT I yellel at
bhan grisly old devil to shay bin hns,d Bat
before I could atauggia `through lire naarest
of bho pa"kod ranks of worauippeas, that
jiggua, glassy edge ewepb twice aerose that
tendor bream R.101 a gave na sign of
hawiog felt the blade slash her $sah. She
seemed to ba In a dream.
The high priamb caught a few drops of bar
blood In his hand ani shoot( nhem into the
atone bowl on the knees of bte god, then
sprinkled a tory drepe oa the fire. A gasp-
ing cry filled the cave as the child waa
can in her mobher'a arms.
That cry came from the frightened kid as
ita throat was out by a singlo sweep of that
blade of glass. Ibe blood fell into the bawl
before the idol, Its heart quickly felfowed,
and its flesh was at once cab into minute
bibs and distributed, a piece toeaoh v o -ship-
per. Ib was ab once devoured.
Then tha music broke out wildly. Tho
big drum thundered, the bowstring twanged,
the bamboo flattes piped merrily. Every
man in the room sprang to his feet and
circled around the altar in a slow dance.
There was a brief pauso. Then ti=e hoavy
a:un,1 of the dram roiled again through biro
cave, and the women joined the dance.
Around and around they circled, and the
muslo and the dance grew faster and wilder, i
A dancer threw aside his tkirb, baring bia
boiy, and one by one th-a others followed
his example. One attar another every gear-
ment was diecorded, until the light of the
esered fire folA upon a leaping masa of half
crazed humanity. As naked all the face of
a cloudless sky they danced in a frenzy of
religious exbttement,
I do not know how long they kept thla
up. One after another dropped exbsusbsd,
0brosmlrg w,lbb perspiration. After a time
the snelfW what had led the orgies gave an
order in low tenon, and the dinners arose,
clothed themselves and slipped away.
When all bad left the cave except the
priest and his half dozen assistant ankias,
the brands which m':ill burned on the altar
were laid on the edge of a bench, and new
borohem were lighted.
They movad the slab that was their
altar and lowered their god of atone into
the plb beneath, then laid the four stone
pvstm beside P. The ramaine of the
kid were put In the bowl on the knees of
Image, and the obsidian knife was laid
Ga them. One edge of the oovaring slab
was lowered to its place, and the
mrpenb which the o°d woman bad
held during all those hours was thrown Into
the pit. iI'he dove which the abhor woman
held was thraab beneath the Blab, to flatter
blindly a moment before the stave was
lowered to its place, to shut out the last
ray of light tbsb poor bird would ever see,
for it was alive to lengthen the days of the
ryptiie that was left to guard with poisoned
favg the renting place of the graven idol
of Caribs. '
Daeb and the ashes of the firas were
gathered, and all the seams that might be-
tray that hiding place were filled, conceal-
inar every jamb, The blankets that curtained
tho r.m trances were removed, and the prieats
and I fited out of bbe Cave.
A Mt la brogan maiden strolled toward my
favorite lounging place, under the palms of
La Carlbe, a few days after our return from
Utillia.
" Come hers, R%imunda I Wanb you,"
maid 1.
" Raimnnda Is dead;' she gravely re-
plied as she came to me.

" You know that she in dead, Manor," she

The high priamb caught a few drops of bar
blood In his hand ani shoot( nhem into the
atone bowl on the knees of bte god, then
sprinkled a tory drepe oa the fire. A gasp-
ing cry filled the cave as the child waa

That cry came from the frightened kid as

blade of glass. Ibe blood fell into the bawl

Then tha music broke out wildly. Tho
big drum thundered, the bowstring twanged,
the bamboo flattes piped merrily. Every
man in the room sprang to his feet and
circled around the altar in a slow dance.
There was a brief pauso. Then ti=e hoavy
a:un,1 of the dram roiled again through biro

Around and around they circled, and the
muslo and the dance grew faster and wilder, i
A dancer threw aside his tkirb, baring bia

his example. One attar another every gear-

the snelfW what had led the orgies gave an
order in low tenon, and the dinners arose,
clothed themselves and slipped away.
When all bad left the cave except the
priest and his half dozen assistant ankias,
the brands which m':ill burned on the altar
were laid on the edge of a bench, and new
borohem were lighted.
They movad the slab that was their
altar and lowered their god of atone into
