of dough stailed with n ats, was
tackled. It was in perfect bar

that it appeared to digest itself

hands resting on the floor,
while their noses touched the
rug. They were muttering some-
thing, occasionally raising their
heads and gazing intently at
the big idol, then dropping
bark again.
"The priest removed his hat
and sticking a few lighted ta-
pers into it, began a low wail
which caused the suppliant« to
rise, and dusting their baggy
trousers, leave the room; the
short service was ended and red
slips were passed around. They
