They hnvu lent themselves to tho not un worthy object of ministering to tho comfort and happiness of tho vnllnnt pcrHomiKes of knlRht-errnntry who havo passed tho terrlltln onlenls of Initiation to tho mysteries, ordeals equalled only by thorns of tho earlier antecedents of Ak-Sar-Ilen'a court, who hold welnl vIkIIb ovor tholr anna.
