CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTORY
Some years ago, a travel d the famous ruins of Palenque,
in Central America. While rambling alone one day through the forest,
in the neighborhood of the ruins, he heard the song of a bird. The
notes were sweet and clear and full of wondrous harmony. The traveler,
resolved to secure a specimen of so rare a bird, cautiously approached
the thicket from which the sweet sounds proceeded. On arriving at
the spot, he found that the bird had already flown to a neighboring
hill. He ascended the hill, but now the song rose up from the valley
below. So eager was the traveler to secure the bird that he followed
icket to thicket,
from glade to glade. Sometimes the strange, weird notes seemed just
above his head, sounding clear and loud, like a song of triumph and
again they were heard far away, as if dying in the distance. The pursuer
gradually became possessed with a feverish anxiety to secure the coveted
prize. He searched for the bird on every tree, on every branch, At
times he raised his fowling piece to fire at it, as it seemed only a
few yards distant, but suddenly it again disappeared, and was nowhere
to be seen; and so he continued to pursue it, till at last he found
himself, alone and bewildered, in the midst of a dense forest.
‘Then he began to retrace his steps. He went on for some time
without the least anxiety, diverted by the curious flowers and insects
that beset his path. After a while, however, he noticed that the scenery
around him was altogether strange and unfamiliar, and, growing alarmed,
he hurriedly ascended an eminence hard by. He gazed anxiously in
all directions, but could see nothing, save the foliage of the great
forest - could hear nothing but the beating of his own heart. With
all the energy which terror inspires he climbed a lofty tree. He now
looked once more around him on all sides, but his heart sank within
him as he saw nothing but an ocean of verdure that spread far away
