they will not move; they say they
were t,:,lrl to conte here, and ask for

' ne fellow talked about his weapons
anti I believe they are drunk."
"About weapons, did he, Rama? and
who art thou, mad youth, who vent-
. crest here into the privacy of gentle-
men?" said a tail man, who new• em-
erged from behind the partition with
a sword in his left hand, while ob-
serving that Bulwunt Rao and Fazil
were armed, his right hand passed to
hie ;word -hilt, and rested there, with
a determined action.
How the stern tones of his voice
thrillers to the heart of Bulwunt Rao,
es he listened to them after an inter-
val of many years, When he last
heard them he was a mere youth.
Shrieks of women were ringing in his
• ears, and his enemy's fierce command
• to kill and spare none—hurried shouts
and the clash of steel. As he stood, the
past recurred to Bulwunt Rao as vi-
-vidly that, though years had inter-
vened, ft seenied only as if that night
had gone, and morning had succeed -
•ed. There could be no doubt he was in
efaloosray's presence.. -The same

large bony frame more developed than
when they had 'last met—the boy and
the cruel 'fiery youth. The light from
a rude lamp in a' niche of the wall
threw a strong glare upon his face,
which he 'did not seek 'to evade; while
thefeatures of Iintwunt !Rao and his
conlpaninn, were in a great measure
•concealed by the shadow thrown upon

7•annejee s sword was' drawn in an
itseam, and flashed brightly in, the
flickering glare of the lamp. The
others were as rapidly unsIhea'thed;
,,rat bout parties stood on the defen-
sive,—neither struck.
"For the love of \fahadeo, for the
love of Bhowani, by your fathers'

idlearia:,g his cries and •the alterca-
tion, two men rushed from the •inpet•
t:partntent with drawn weapons, and
would have attacked the others at
.11ce, but Tannajee withheld them.
"Peace!" he cried; "put down your
weapons, friends. Peace, bold youth!"
he cot:tinued to 1311111101E Rao• "you

"A Gosai: I have said it already,
replied the other.
"A disciple of what teacher "
"How are you to know, even if I
tell it truly, who my Gooroo is?" re-
turned ,BuIwunt, "Is IBussunt Geer of

"Hal Bussunt (Geer of Toofjapoor?

"Maharaj, it is true; but 1 am the

"And your name?"
"As -Geer."
"When were you made a cheyla?"
"About a year .ago; and 4 was at
Maga INugger and Golconda till late-
ly; in the house there."
"And what has brought you here?"
I de not answer question's except
upon the IGooroo's 'business," replied
•Bulwunt haughtily.
"Good, thou art discreet, 0 !Ba'ba-
jee! Aad thy companion?"
"'He is a novitiate under a vow of
silence for a year."
"Good, Let there he peace ibetw.een
us for a while, till I prove thee true
or false,"
IBulwunt was about to make a pas-
sionate reply, when the imploring
look of Peen met his eye. It seemed
to say, Go on with this deception;
and, after a moment's thought, Bel -
went Rao determined to -do so, and to
refrain front violence so long as it
suited his purpose. Ready himself to
strike if needful, he might 'be ,able to
throw Tannajee off his guard,
"Listen," continued Tannajee; "by

had not observed,
"Yes, 'Tell hint I ,ant here with Bus -

es Malroosray turned slightly to
speak the last words, a look of intel-
ligence passed between Fazil and Bul-
wunt; but though the odds against
them had been w•ithdrawit, Malroos-
toy's suspicions apparently had not
relaxed in the least, for he stood, his
weapon ready for action, and his
shield advanced before his body, so
that Bulwunt had as yet no oppor-
tunity to strike as he desired. His
account of himself was plausible en-
ottgh, but it did not apparently satis-
fy the wily \labratta,
"And Pahar Singh was there, Ba-
ha?" he asked; "know you for cer-
tain? \'Vhet message had you to slim??"
„Nay, it was easy enough, Mahar-
aj," returned 113ulwgnt; "all 11e told me
was, to meet Pahar Singh at the tem-
ple of 13how•ani, Clear the k(11101 s
quarter, this night, and afterwards to

ple, where I should filed some ltadi-
1attas who would give me a message.

"Where?"
"At the Taj Boweee or the Royal
well, which is surrounded by clois-
ters and rooms, where travellers put
up, but I shall be away ,by early
dawn."
"But the fort gate will be shut,
Baha.
"'I have a friend at the wicket who
will let us in. Do not fear for that,

fidently,
ilalroosray thought for a moment,
"It must be true," he add€'d, "Now,
Baba, listen; if d trust thee, ceuldst

"I will be faithful to him; is he not

"And thy companion?"
"Surely, as myself. We are one,"
"Then listen," said bfalroosray, for
once thrown off his guard, and now
leaning upon his sword. "I believe

,1t was well for Malroosray that the
point of Bulw unt's sword caught a
projecting rafter of the low roof as
it descended, else he had never spok-
en more, iNeverlhelcse it reached him;
and though a steel chain had been
IN into his turban, which prevent-
ed a severe wound, the force of the.
blow somewhat stunned him; and so
tierce natal unexpected was the as -
:mule that for an instant his habitu-
a. 1 presence o.f ,mind failed hi.ni..Btit
for an instant only, dare Bulwunt
could repeat the blow, Malroosray
had leaded aide, and began to press
his impetuous adversary very closely.
Fazil, in his turn, had attacked the
companion of efalroosray, and found
hint a wary swordsman; and the
place, confuted as it 1005, afforded no
room for rabid movement; Anil the
light w•as tflm and treacherous. Blows
were, however, rapidly exchanged.
The quarrel could not continue long:
for the shoats and cries of the keeper
of the house and of several of Mai-
roosray's scouts, who were unarmed,
aroused the guard, who rushed to the
spat with loud exclamations and
drawn weapons;
Tannajee felt in an instant that he
had no chance if they entered, and Ile
sinew-- that if taken his execution
Mould be immediate and certain. just,
therefore, as the dark figure of the
foremost of the guard was entering
the shop behind Buho'aut, and by
whose rapid tread and shouts he was
somewhat thrown off his guard, Tan-
najee gathered himself up for a des-
perate blow, and delivered it with an
abusive imprecation. "Once I failed,"
he said—"not now'I" As he spoke, the
heavy weapon descended with all hie
great strength; ,Bulwunt tried to stop
it, but it caught the edge, 1103 the
face of the shield, and, though he par-
tially succeeded, or lie and never
'breathed more, glancing .from 'the
hard and polished edge of the shield,
it lighted upon Belwune's bare neck
and shoulder, cutting down to the
bone in a ghastly manner,
\lalr0osray save with exultation
that the blood poured forth in a tor-
rent, and, as Bulwunt staggered and
tell back, he called to his companion
' to follow him, and both darted
through the back apartments into a
court leading 11110 a narrow street be-
yond, and as they passed they closed
both the -doors behind then:
"Follow- me!—a thousand rupees
for Tannajee Mairoosray's head 1"
cried Fazil to the guard; and though
they pursued hint for a short dis-
tance, all chalice of capturing ]brat
was hopeless in Cha murky darkness
and ehavy rain,
CHAPTER XXI,IV
tIt was no fear of Malroosray or
lack of enterprise that caused the
young Khan to desist from his pur-
suit; but finding that his retainer had
not followed him, nor, indeed, any
of the guard -the fear that Bulwunt
might 'have been 'wounded occurred
to hitm, or that he had been appre-
hended and detained. It .was hopeless
also to trace Malroosray, or to as-
certain 'which way he and his com-
panion had proceeded, as they issued
from the door of telt courtyard into
the lane behind. Turning back then,
after he had run a 'few paces, by the
way he had come, and directed by
the clamour inside the house, he .pass-
ed rapidly through the yard, ,and en-
tered the roots where the quarrel had
taken place; this he found filled with
armed men, with several torch -bear -
ere tsanding around what appeared to,
be the dead body of his friend,
retail had Observed Malroosray's
violent attack upon hint, and that
'Rulwent retreated a step or twp
avoid it; while at the same time lie.
'had advanced towards his own antag-
onist, The consequences of that ,blow,
therefore, were not inrnlediotely seen
'by hint., Now inexpressibly shocked.
and grieved by the result, Fazil heed-
ed no 'one; but pressing his way
through those as'selmbled, s0tnew+ha•t
roughly, he threw himself 011 -his
knees beside Bul•wtent, who was quite
insensible, and, laying aside his
swo•,d, strove to raise him tip. He 501.1,
indeed with great grief that'B.ulwulit
had received a very severe wound;
and 1-115 pool of blood .flowing from
the cut, which had not been stanch-
ed, and his apparently lifeless coladi
tion, caused the most lively alarm,
"'Will no one help me?" cried Fazil,
l001111ng round, while ,v'ailily endeav-
ouring to stanch the blood which oc-
casionally welled from the gaipioug
wound, as 31ulwunt 'breathed heavily.
"For the love of IGocl, and the Apos-
tee lend 111e thy waistband, good sirs"
he continued, addressing a respectable
looking ratan Who had accompanied
the soldiers, anti 1V110 was, in fact,
the petty ollflcer over them; "00 bid

will perish. Alas, my true •crime and

"Aced who are you," returned the
ratan conten3puously, "who, in the
dress of a ICalfir ,Gosai, dares to take
the name of the • holy Apostle?—on

I w310511t. lIaw sap you, brother! He
may have done this himself, and now
mingles with us to pretend grief and
avoid suspicion. Here is some evil,

"Yes, my lords," cried the keeper of
the house, who now ventured kr-
ward, ",hind hint fast. That is' the
fellow w'Iio did the murder. Tney,

though I did all I could to prevent

"Peace!" cried 11eziil, accustomed
only to command, and who could ill
brook the pleasures threatened; for
several melt had closed about 111111 at
their officer's order, while another had
kicked away his sword; w'hieh one of
the men' wag picking up. "Peace, 1

wounded; have you 00 compassion?

'Whether he dies or whether he
lives, one would think it was little

man; "and there is blood on his

who had possessed himself of it held.

the leader of 'the party spoke
several of the soldiers had throws
themselves upon Tsai], who stil
kneeled beside iBulwunt, and, holding.
11i111 Clown, pulled ,the turban rough•1-t
from his head, and in an instant •bound
his arils ,with it so tightly behind his
back that the fact caused him immed-
iate and exquisite pain.
"Who art thou, knave?" asked the
man again prereniptorily.
'Speak," cried several of the men,
shaking 'hien rudely; "'don't you Hear
what his worship says to you? Speak."
"It is useless for me 1103V -to say
who I am," replied IFazil looking
round, "Enough that tI ant one •of

know of a physician hear, or a skilful
barber, I pray good sir," he continued
addressing himself to the officer,

This speech was received with
shout of derision by most of the :part
but their leader was not unobservan

and speech of IFazil that he was n

keeper of the house -had declared him
to be the man who had struck (10,w11
the unfortunate IBulw'unt, but, again,
the consideration of his return to the
spot, and his sincere grief at the poor
fellow's wound, went .far to assure the
offs"cer ,that his prisoner had not done
the deed and that 'whoever did it es-
caped, These thoughts rapidly occurr-

"`Tly!hereis no 'God 'but IGod, and'1da-
