the assembly before the throne,
where, in spite of the remonstrances
of the chamberlains, it was set down.
Then the Khan, disengaging this
sword from his belt, and bidding
Fazil do tine same, they advanced to
the foot of the ntus od, and envelop-
i•ng ;the hilts in their scarfs, present-
ed t'he'n as "nuzzurs" or offerings to
the .Rin'g, making, at the same time,
their custotn'ary obeisances,
"'Pardon for this boldness, duty,
prince," said the Khan; 'but as the
merciful Ulla delivered us strangely
out of his hands who is 'there, 'we
thoug'h't we had ,better bring him to
'the presence at once,"--
"Who?asked the Icing excitedly..
"The 'Wuzeer? IK,han ,Malvonted?"
"'No, my Mord," returned the ,Khan,
"but Jehandar Beg."
"God be ,praised thou 'amt sale,.

out his hand and resting it upon the
Khan's 'head, "and thou also Pazil.
Now, we 'have no fear,"
"Ah, old 'frien'd 1" cried 'th'e Peer.
the tears fairly run 0hag down his
cheeks while he pointed to the King;
"he hath been so throve, so brave:

of the King,

some of the attendants hastily un-
tied .the knots by which hh'e cover
had been 'fastened over the top. IAs
the last fold was removed, the 'figure
of iJehan'dar Beg sitting upright, his
arms and hands swathed careful in
a shawl and ,his eyes bound with a
handkerchief, was displayed to all!
The bandage was removed, and he
looked wildly about him,
Jehandar IBeg saw his ;position at
once. He was no 'coward, and the
perceived that all ch'a'nce of life had
passed away, The 'Wuzeer was not
there, and Atz•ool Khan, sto'o'ping
into the litter, took up the case con-
taining Jehandar .Beg's most secret
papers. Ind presented them .to the
King. "flay I be loosed?" said the
Kotwa: to the Khan, "My fate i5 in
the King's bands."
"Surely," replied the King; "We
fear him not, nor any enemy," he

deliver them into our hands even as

"An.een! Ameen!" cried a tumult

heard by all. '\Ve need ,not follow his
recital. for the particulars have :been
already related; but the words were
drunk in with avidity by the as-
sembly. the disclosed no man's
name; the papers would speak for
themselves.
:One by one they were read, Pers-
ian Mahratta fit .turn, clearly and 'dis-
tinctly; while, by the ,King's com-
mand, several of them were taken
r„and by inutsuddeee to the princi-
pal noblee and sirdarsili, that the seals
night be examined.
This necessarily occupied some
time, during which, the litter having
been removed to the door, .Johandar
Beg stood in the centre, as yet bold-
ly if not defiantly. Could the Wuzeer
only arrive -and lie was expected
momentarily -all would be changed.
Before him the. King, bold as he
seemed mow-, would 'quail; those
friends in the assembly, who had al-
ready exchanged glances with hipi,;
would at once rise. There might be
bloodshed, and of the result he had
no •lou'ht; it had been calculated be-
ferehacd, and was certain. Much de-
pended on a mysterious arrangement
of the Wuzeer's, which the suspect-
ed; but to the particulars of which
he ,had not .been admitted. Need he
deny the papers? He dare not. They
were facts which could neither he
dt-nied nor evaded.
"'Unhappy, godless man,” cried ,the
:King, when several had been read,.
and others .were being examined,
"are these true? Dost thou ' 'admit
!'hem? (Hast thou eaten may -raft and
'found it so bitter, thlat that of others
seemed sweeter to t'h'ee? ISpeak, Je-
hendar Beg! are these true? are t'h'ey
thine own?"
Upon his reply hung .many' a life
had he chosen •to denounce those
present; 'but with all his bad faith,
there was no meanness in the man:
"The letters, my prince, are true; as
they are addressed. II have .no more

let it come; I am ready to meet ill,"
returned the Kotwal, "firmly,
"And these' for 'Khan. Ma'hoined?

"It is my ,writing; why should I

sullenly; "hut 'I know not the atm -

"My lord, my prince," whispered.
the officer of the royal gua'rd, step-
ping behind the rail in an agitated
manner, "be careful of. yourself;
there is disturbance without; we will
diose round you; come away. The
Wuzeer-the Wuzeer is -ie- dead,

Afzool 4Khan. "Who dare 'harm you?

above t'he hoarse murmur which had
'arisen among the ass'ednbly. Now,
however, ,those- mentioned by the.
Khan sprang to their feet by scores,
and their .example was followed by
hundreds, "Deen, Dewy!" was shout-
ed ,with increased enthusia's'm,
"Here is one Who brings particu-
lar's," said the Secretary, as an officer

till 'he was near 'the gate; there were
only a few of vs. There .was no one
present but a sentinel and one or two

lord Ere we could mount the bas-
tion again the whole had dispersed.
We'fired on then!, but it was n0 use."
"And what became of the Fakeer
asked the King, looking towards the
Secretary. -
"My prince, hee,. stayed with the
body, and shut the eyes," replied the
man. "Then, as the Wuzeer's eleishani
arrived, he told the driver to take up
the dead, and we saw him go toward:
the mosque crying, as before, 'Ulla
dilaya to leongal' .Bark!" he contin-
ued, "there he is"
Ulla dilaya to leongal Ulla dilaya

nearer, never'c:hanging or 'fattening in
its cadence or time -heard above all
other noises and ,confusion"within and
without -into the hall, where every
one made way before the brawny
forst and excited looks of the crier -
who: paused not, nor yet looked right
or left, till he reached the dais. Afzool
Khan and F.azil would have .topped
'hint, but he strode on.
"Ulla dilaya to leongal". he cried,
looking at the :King without saluting
him. 'Khan 1'Iahomed is dead, from
a hundred Wounds.' As I closed his
eyes I saw this on the ground; it' had
fallen from ;hits, so 1 :have ibroug'ht it"
and flinging t'he case containing pap-
ers, to the King he turned away with-
out salutation; shouting the •old cry,

high above his head, the strode .ourt of
the hall, •continuingsit 'as' the -passed
out 'of the building through the at-
tendants and troops, and so away.
"Among these papers," said the
Secretary, whispering to the King:
"are many 'which, if now disclosed,
might make amen desperate, they are
better kept secret,"
'I am weary o'f them tall" cried
the )King impatiently; "look at . the
justice of IGod; we should own it rev-
erently."
"Zo•olm! iZloo'lm.l" .(injusticer cried
a knot of .men mlho_th'ad collected at
one side of the hall, and had. risen
from their ' seats. "Is m'ard!er to be',
done, and pass unchallenged?" Their
tone,wae fierce and defi'an't,+and'boded
no good..
"Peace, 'O 'friendsf' cried Afzool

The King paused, and seemed to

rising to the vaulted roof. trembled

"Are ye laggards, my friends, in

The mass -'for every one had risen
to his feet -swayed to and fro with
emotion, 'bent no one advanced; and
out of it issued the hoarse ominous
murmur that !had several times arisen
and which, in the absence of any de-
cisive action, caused involuntary ap»
prehension.
At this moment Afzo'o1 ,Khan stepp-
ed boldly forward and taking up the
gage, pressed it to his forehead, eyes,
and lips, then, s'aluting the IKin'g, held
it 'high above his head for all to see.
"My prince, it is mike," he said, "if
it be permitted and if these my friends
will join ane."
"Ye have heard," said t'he King;
turning' to the assembly, "I accept

ILt was the crowning point of the
ceremony, and the people, no longer
upheld by court etiquette, swayed for-
ward to the foot of the dais with tum-
ultuous shouts of joy,- Those without
only knew that war had been pro-
claimed, and their cries mingled
hoarsely with the rest.
'It is well this should cease, 'sty
lord," said the Secretary. "Men's
hearts are hot, ,and enough hath been
done 'to -day."
"Goody" replied the King "let .the
criers proclaim the IBurkast; and that.
there will .be preaching in the Demme.

advances."
"Be that my care," said the Peer,
"and their hearts shall be kept hot, I'
prcemis e' you."
It was done. Attendants went round
with trays of {Pam, reserving U'tr and
other sweet essences for those privil-
eged to ,receive them. The Ring sad,
to the last, and the great Hall was
gradually emptied, save of the royal
guards,-Afzool Khan and his son, -
Alla col Moolk, and 'other nobles, who
had, been desired_ to remain. The Kot-
wal's fate was yet in suspense.
"Bring forward Jehandar

guard; and the prisoner was again
conducted 'to the front of the 'dais,
around wh'ic'h the nobles were now
grouped. 'He saw no hope in those.

"See what that case of p'a'pens coni
