X ful of Tiger Lillies. These, I learned from her song, were to he arranged at the foot of the HGreat Future. HI am curious, I'll follow Crocillef' Thought I. Up the long steep steps she glided, lightly as a fawn, and at the top of the cliff, in front of a, marvellous statue, she paused. At the foot of this great image she placed her votive offering 'tAhl 'What a. work it is! Just finished three suns agone, mur- mured Crocille. I fancy I see them, the men, picking up their bronze tools, two by two they leave their weary toil, to seek repose below, Wogiiiii with that long sharp rod and Hochow with that hachet-shaped thing. Each went to the cave'till all the caves received a worker but Mayon's. Then Future called us forth and told us that some day he'd return to Mayon, and take us all away.

It was now late in the afternoon. A sudden commotion stirrefl the people below. The wanderer had returned. Mayon ran quickly to him. There was great rejoicing and when quiet was restored. Future told them what he had learned. c'On a moonlight night like to-night, when the stars dance gaily and the breezes blow softly, he began, Hthere shall come a rushing torrent of silver. It shall flow over the cliff, with wild rapi- '27
