"VISIT TO THE INFERNO!!

By H. R. Wellls

CHAPTER IX

THE SIXTH STAGE

+

Bluecont said, "But you have not yet seen half of the eighteen grades. Why should you go home so soon?. I will take you to the sixth grade". Laan Kat did not wish to go but Bluecont seized him firmly by the hand and went on, and they soon reached the sixth grade.

There they saw a great number of men and women. Some of them were standing on the ground, some wore! sitting on stools and some lylug on beds.

All of them had nalls driven Into them, some in their heads, some in their feet or hands, and some in their bodies, and the circumstances were quite different from any they had seen before.

As they suddenly turned a corner, Laan Kat saw his slater-in-law. She was sitting on a flat stone and was chained by an iron chain which was fastened to her fest and a long iron nail was nailed into her left breast, When he saw her he was horrified. Perspiration broke out all over his head and he said, "Ha! Ha! This is very strange! It is most wonderful I remember that this very morning when I came ant of the door my Alster-in-law was still lying in bed, and crying out about her pain and suffering. Can it be that she has died suddenly?", and the tears flowed free- ly down his face.

SECRET CRUELTY.

Blucent said, "Is that your sister- in-law?", and Laan Kat replied "Yes", The keeper of the prison in Hades said, "Your sister-in-law is not yet dead. This is her living soul","

The keeper said, "Absolutely not. We must wait on the will of the King".

Laan Kat said, "Is there no other plant"

The Keeper replied, "The only possible way is to exhort her to do good deeds, thon her sin may be put nway."

Laan Kot said, "That is absolutely in accordance with all right prin- ciples".

He then said, "It is nearly night. I will not see any more but will hasten home".

Bluecoat said, "Vory well, I will accompany you and we can talk as we go along..

CHAPTER X.

THE RETURN Before long they had returned to the top of the hill, and Bluecoat said, "Farewell, we shall meet again".

Ting Laan-kat sald, "Elder brother, I thank you very much for your kindnces and your company.".

Just then a bird was singing on the mountain, and this roused him. He looked about and saw his flask on the ground, but it was now empty.

The sun was sinking in the West, so he quickly started for home and was not long in reaching the house.

She replied, "Why should you re- gard me as already dead?".
