I sliall take the leaves of the sacred tree, and folding them Into trumpets, I shall call to the four winds of heaven, and a multitude of fighting men will hasten to our aid.' "* Saj'...ing this, he took a sheet of paper, held it up to show that it was blank, folded it for a moment, and then spread it out covered with writing 1 This deft trick convinced his simple-minded hearers of the truth of his claims and they rushed to arms. He led them, clothed in the robe of the Virgin and with her crown on his head. But neither their enthusiasm nor their leader's art magic availed, and soon Jacinto and his followers fell victims to the stake and the gallows. After their death the dance of " the tiger," or of Chac-Mool — the '' ghost dance " of the Mayas — was prohibited ; and the use of the sacred drum — the favorite in- strument of the native priests — was forbidden.")"
