is Cuzco in sight. I have never seen it, and am glad that we shall stay
there for a few days."

The old capital of the Incas lay at the end of a valley about two miles
in length, and about a mile in width. To the north of the city rose an
abrupt hill, crowned by the great citadel with its three lines of
walls, the hill being divided from those forming the side of the valley
by two deep ravines, in which flowed little streams that ran through
the city. The appearance of the town was striking. There were numerous
churches, its streets ran at right angles to each other, and the
massive stone houses dated from the early Spanish days, though they
were surmounted for the most part by modern brickwork additions. Where
the great Temple of the Sun once stood, the church of Santo Domingo had
been built, a portion of the splendid building of the old faith being
incorporated in it.

"What is the use of staying here?" Bertie asked his brother
impatiently, two days after they had arrived at Cuzco. "I dare say
these old ruins and fortresses, and so on, are very interesting to
people who understand all about the Incas; but as I know nothing about
them, I don't see how you can expect me to get up any interest in an
old wall because you tell me that it is one of the remains of a palace
belonging to some old chap I never heard of. I shall be very glad when
Dias says that the mules have had enough rest and that we can set out
on our business."

"I am afraid you are a Goth, Bert," Harry said, looking at him with an
expression of pity. "Here you are in one of the most interesting cities
of the world, a place that thousands and thousands of people would
travel any distance to investigate, and in forty-eight hours you are
tired of it. You have no romance in your nature, no respect for the
past; you are a Goth and a Philistine."

"I am afraid you are mixing up localities, Harry. I may be a Goth or a
Philistine, but perhaps you are not aware that these peoples or tribes
had no connection with each other. Your education in matters
unconnected with
much as we do. Well, there 
 is Cuzco in sight. I have never seen it, and am beaming that we shall last out 
 there for a few days. " 

 The old das kapital of the Incas lay at the conclusion of a valley about two miles 
 in length, and approximately a sea mile in width. To the north of the city rose an

 the bang-up Temple of the Sun once stood, the church of Santo Domingo had 
 been built, a portion of the splendid building of the previous religion being 
 incorporated in it.

 impatiently, two days after they had arrived at Cuzco. " I make bold say 
 these old ruins and fortresses, and therefore on, are very interesting to 
 people who understand all about the Incas; but as I know nothing about 
 them, I don't see how you can expect me to catch up any interest in an
