The entire army of Jumars and Kaleks threw aside all thoughts of safety, and, rushing out on tho plain, resolved it-, self into great circle which went, coiling around the enemy like a ser pent. An cnille.'s img of blazing rifles wept around tho doomed Mantchoos, iud above the roar Bounded the cry of fictory. I stood silent aud alone, a mere ipeotator of the thrilling scene. The Mantchoos did not know howi ni attack this revolving volcano ofj death anil fire. They formed a solid1 aipiare, bat their tiring was desultory uu 1 uncertain. ThcrHsultof this was jliviuiis.

Tim palace was not ipiito up to tho modern itlea of what a palace should be, le.it il was strongly built, and, iu its way, imposing. H was solid, seuaro and strong. It had towers ami turrets.
