THE FAIR GOD.

By Lew Wallace.

CHAPTER VIL. ( Continued. )

This cartoon Montezuma examined closely. | The chief, or king, was distinguished by a crown in all respects like that then in the palace ; the priests, by their long gowns; and the warriors, by their arms, which, as they were counterparts of those still in use, suff- ciently identified the wanderers. Greatly was the royal inspector troubled. And as the paba slowly conducted him from panel to panel, he forgot the treasure with which the chamber was stored. What he read was the story of his race, the record of their glory. The whole eastern wall, he found, when he had passed before it, given to illustrations of the crusade from Azatlan, the fatherland, northward so far that corn was gathered in the snow, and flowers were the wonder of the six weeks’ summer.

In front of the first panel on the southern wall, Mualox said :

‘* All we have passed is the first era in the history ; this is the beginning of the second ; and the first writing on the western wall will commence a third. Here the king stands ona rock; a priest points him to an eagle ona cactus, holding a serpent. At last they have reached the place where Tenochtitlan is to be founded,”

The paba passed on.

‘* Here,” he said, ‘‘are temples and palaces. The king reclines on acouch; the city has been founded.”

And before another panel—‘‘ Look well to this, O king! A new character is introduced; here it is before an altar, offering a sacrifice of | fruits and flowers. It is Quetzal’! In his worship, you recollect, there is no slaughter of victims. My hands are pure of blood.”

The Quetzal’, with its pleasant face, flowing curls and simple costume, seemed to have a charm for Montezuma, for he mused over it a long time. Some distance on the figure again appeared, stepping into a canoe, while the people, temples and palaces of the city were behind it. Mualox explained, ‘See, O king! The fair god is departing from Tenochtitlan ; he has been banished. Saddest of all the days was that !”

And so, the holy man interpreting, they

moved along the southern wall. Not a scene but was illustrative of some incident memorable in the Aztecan

history. And the reviewers were struck with the faithfulness of the record not less than with the beauty of the work.

On the western wall, the first cartoon repre- sented a young man sweeping the steps of a emple. Montezuma paused before it amazed, and Guatamozin for the first time cried out, ‘It is the Ring! lt is the king!” ‘The like- .. ‘

®-coronation scene. The teotuctt ~@ panache on Mon-

tezuma’s head. In the third cartoon, with the army, going to battle. In the fourth, he was seated, while a man clad in nequen but crowned, stood before him.

**You .have grown familiar with triumphs, and it is many summers since, O king,” said Mualox ; ‘‘ but you have not yet forgotten the gladness of your first conquest. Here is its record. As we go on, recall the kings who, were thus made to stand before you.”

And counting as they proceeded, Mon- | tezuma found that in every cartoon there was an additional nequen. When they came to the one next the last on the western wall, he | said :

‘*Show me the meaning of all this : here are thirty kings.”

** Will the king tell his slave the number of , cities he has.conquered ?”

He thought awhile, and replied, ‘‘ Thirty.” |

** Then the record is faithful. It started with the first king of Tenochtitlan ; it came

i

Montezuma and Tenochtitlan as they are; the present is before us! Could the hand, that set this chamber and carved these walls have been aman’s? Who but a god six cycles ago could have foreseen that a son of the son of Axaya’ would carry the rulers of thirty conquered cities in his train ?

The royal visitor listened breathlessly. He began to comprehend the writing, and thrill with fast-coming presentiments. Yet he struggled with his fears.

‘« Prophecy has to do with the future,” he said ; ‘‘and you have shown me nothing that the sculptors and jewellers in my palace can- not do. Would you have me believe all this from Quetzal’, show me something that is to come.”

Mualox led him to the next scene which represented the king sitting in state; above him a canopy; his nobles and the women of his household around him; at his feet the peo- ple; and all were looking at a combat going on between warriors.

‘*VYou have asked for prophecy—behold !” said Mualox.

‘*T see nothing,” replied the king.

‘*Nothing! Is not this the celebration to- morrow? Sinee it was ordered, could your sculptors have executed what you see?”

Back to the monarch’s face stole the pallor.

‘* Look again, O king! You only saw your- self, your people and warriors. But what is this?”

Walking up, he laid his finger on the repre- sentation of a man landing from a canoe.

‘*The last we beheld of Quetzal’,” he con- tinued, ‘‘was on the southern wall; his back was to Tenochtitlan, which he was leaving with a curse. All you have heard about his promise to return is true. He himself bas written the very day, and here it is. Look! While the king, his warriors and people, are gathered to the combat, Quetzal’ steps from the canoe to the sea-shore.”’

The figure in the carving was scarcely two hands high, but exquisitely wrought. With terror poorly concealed, Montezuma recogniz- ed it.

‘‘And now my promise is redeemed. I said I would give you to read a message from the sun.”

‘*Read, Mualox, I cannot.”

The holy man turned to the writing, and said, with a swelling, voice, ‘‘ Thus writes Quetzal’ to Montezuma, the king! In the last day he will seek to stay my vengeance ; he will call together his people ; there will be combat in Tenochtitlan ; but in the midst of the rejoicing 1 will land on the sea-shore, and end the days of Azatlan for ever.”

‘For ever!” said the unhappy monarch. **No,no! Read the next writing.”

‘*There is no other ; this is the last.”

|fluential supporter of Dr. McIntyre and J.

down to your coronation ; now, it has number- | garet’s. ed your conquests. See you not, O king? Be- | man, hind us all the writing is of the past ; this is has come to the conclusion that after all is lsaid and done, Sir John McDonald and his

had been successively passed, and interpreted. Now the king turned to the northern wall ; it was blank ! His eyes flashed, and he almost shouted :

** Liar ! Quetzal’ may come to-morrow, but it will be as friend. There is no curse !”

The paba humbled himself before the speak- er, and said, slowly and tearfully, ‘‘ The wise king is blinded by his hope. When Quetzal’ finished this chapter, his task was done; he recorded the last day of perfect glory, and ceased to write, because, Azatlan being now to perish, there was nothing more to record. O unhappy king ! that is the curse and it needed no writing !”

Montezuma shook with passion.

‘* Lead me hence, lead me hence!” he cried. ‘* ] will watch; and if Quetzal’ comes not on the morrow—comes not during the celebration—I will swear to level this temple, and let the lake into its chambers ! And you, mee though you be, I will drown you like a slave.

Mualox obeyed without a word. Lamp in hand, he led his visitors from the splendid chamber up to the azoteas of the ancient house. As they descended the astern steps, he knelt, and kissed the pavement.

(To be continwed. ) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Facts About the Strople Tragedy.

Sir,—Just as the people in this part of the country were beginning to fee] thank- ful that the excitement and ill-feeling oc- casioned by the Strople tragedy was sub- siding, a well-known writer for the Patriot, actuated not from love for his friend, the ** Magistrate,” but from political motives, of his own, rushes into print, and thus’ opens up again the painful story of poor Strople’s death. The people of Souris, especially, both Grit and Conservative, | would be only too willing to let the matter, rest where it is. Two inquests have been held. The evidence taken and the verdicts rendered at these inquests have been pub- lished in Tue Examiner. The public! have, therefore, been enabled to judge for themselves as to who was or who was not to blame in the unfortunate affair. It seems, however, that there is one individual dissatisfied, and that individual is ** Vidette.” He did not appear to be very much inter- ested at the time the inquest was being held. In fact he studiously shunned his friend while the inquiry was going on. As soon, however, as the inquest is over, he sets to work to make a martyr of J. R. Me- | Lean, and in trying to do this he endeavors! to give a political complexion to the whole transaction. But his design is too thin to deceive any one acquainted wich the facts.

The jurymen on the first inquest, he, =

says, were all Conservatives. Perhaps they were. They were selected from among

"those present when the Coroner arrived at

the house where the body was. For some reason or other, which probably ‘* Vidette ” may be able to explain, there were no Grits | round that morning. At least there were | none visible near the dead man. Hence it. is quite probable the first jury was rather | Conservative in its make up. But neither the Cvroner nor the Constable who sum- moned the jury could help this. The fore-' man of the jury was R. F. McDonald, of the firm of McEKachern & Co. He was: known to be formerly an active and in-;

R. McLean. Tobe informed by so well an authority as ‘‘ Vidette” that Mr. Mc- Donald has left the Grit ranks is news that Conservatives here are pleased to hear. Mr. McDonald is a brother of the Rev. Father Gregory McDonald, vf St. Mar- Like many another intelligent! Mr. McDonald, it would appear, !

supporters are the right men to control the destinies of Canada.

But what was the verdict of this so-called Conservative jury? Was it very unfavor-| able to ‘*Vidette’s” friend, the Magistrate ? No, it was rather the opposite. !t was. simply one of ‘‘accidental” (not axe-handle) death from falling over the bank.

A dissatisfied public said in response to} that verdict that it did not go far enough ; | that’a verdict of accidental death, in view: of the evidence given in court, was unsatis- | factory. This feeling, I may say, was not; limited to the political opponents of J. R. McLean. On the contrary, one of the first men to complain was a strong supporter of | his. Then, too, the deceased’s hat was’ found on the slope of the bank over which | he went. On the left side of it, abuve the | band, through felt and silk lining, was a’ small hole made bya blunt instrument, or what wasstill more likely, a revolver bullet. In the evidence given at the first inquest it was proven that the pistol shot was fired on the night of the tragedy within fifteen or twenty yards. of where Strople was running, and that in a minute or two after the shot was fired, he disappeared over the bank. These facts, tegether with other important new evi- | dence that turned up after the first inquest, led to the second inquiry, and a post mortem examination of the body. Now, the jury composing the second inquest was made up of Liberals and Conservatives as evenly mixed as it was possible to do so. What was the verdict # Why, ‘*That the deceased, Joseph Strople, came to his death when endeavoring to escape arrest for riotous conduct of the crew of the schooner Orient, | he being one of the said crew.” Being one’ of the crew did not necessarily render him guilty of riotous conduct. The truth is) Strople committed no assault on any one, | nor was one word of evidence given at the! inquest to prove that he took part in the riotous conduct of which some of his com-| rades were proven to be guilty at the Magistrate’s Court. Strople being inno- cent, what right had any one (even a Magistrate) tu attempt to arrest him? However, the verdict was as above. Now I would ask which of the two verdicts was

j |

nor with the last either. ‘‘ Vidette’s” in- sinuations that the Coroner, jurymen and witnesses were biased by political consider- ations against J. R. McLean, are ungener- ous and contemptible, as everyone knows who is acquainted with the fair, square manner in which both inquests were con- ducted. Why he accuses the Conserva- tives of Souris of having sympathy with lawlessness and disorderly conduct, I am at a loss to kuow. In view of the past history of political parties here, the public knows well that the very reverse isthe case. If ** Vidette” endorses, as his letter infers, the conduct of his hero on the fatal night of the 12th ult., as well as his Quixctic dis- play in open Court on the day following, I can assure him that public opinion, regard- less of politics, does nut.

If ** Vidette” wants more light on this subject, he can have it. But nothing that can be written now will bring the dead man back to life again. Poor Strople is in eternity. His aged parents, broken- hearted widow and fatherless children are left to mourn over his’ awfully sudden death. He did not commit suicide. His death lies at some one’s door, Who that one is, it is not for me to say, but there is a time coming when all will be made plain.

I am, yours, &c., TRUTH. Souris, Nov. 3, 1888. nn ee Scraps from Rustico.

Joseph Gallant, Esq., has erected a tele- phone office in addition to his store. This will, no doubt, prove very convenient in telephonic communication here.

The Rev. Father DeFinance, of France, but recently of the Magdalen Islands, has lately entered upon his duties as pastor of the St. Augustine R. C. Church, Rustico, thus filling the vacancy caused by the absence of the Rev. R. P. McPhee, who has taken a trip to the western slope to improve his health.

Notwithstanding the coolness of the weather, there is yet a good demand for beer at our saloons. We have, I think, a surplus of hop, pop, spruce and lager beer saloons in this vicinity, out of which in- dividuals are seen to come under the influence of beer (with the stick in it) that is now so easily procured.
