servant retired; "and d can do a good
Service, if it please you, arty lord, to
join in it or aid it,"
"If ft be a service to the Kin'g's
cause, w•hy not?" said the Khan;
"but none of thy blood feuds, Pahar
Singh; thou canst not use the royal
troops for thine own purposes,"
"'Nor do I need them, my lord," re-
turned the chief, 'somewhat stiffly. "I
have enough nen of my own to ,an-
swer for those matters; nay ,indeed,
for this also, if I have your permis-
sion; and only that my rascals are
somewhat too free of 'hand to be
trusted in a town at night, 1 had
done it thyself ere this."
"Thanks, friend, for thy caution,"
said the Khan, smiling; "'we shall
know each other ,better by-and-by,
But what is this scheme?"
When I left you, Khan Sahib, the
night of .Jehandar Beg's execution,"
replied the chief, "I had knowledg
that Tannajee -lialoosray was ill the
city, and I knew where he Was. My
People watched every bazaar and
street during the day, and we had a
strong party near the Goruk Inrlee
trees, thinking he might like to come
and see an old friend for the last
dine; but he kept close, like a bear
in his den, till night, and then stole
away, illy boy and some of my ,peo-
ple wanted to catch hint in Inc deo
but I knew Tannajee could not be
taken alive by mortal, and I wanted
to see hint sit like Jehandar Beg un-
der the trees, and die like a man; so
1 took a body of my horse and rode
after hint towards Tooljapoor, where
he was going. We occupied the pass
at Hortee. Bet he escaped us there.
Khan; and hearing afterwards he had
gone to .Tutt, there appeared to be no
use in following hint, as he had tw•etl-
ty-live ease start of us, But I was a
fool, my lord; and for once Tannajee
outwitted ate. He went on next day
to Tooljapoor; holy. I know not. He
was seen there in the temple, and he
left again that night, no one knows
whither."
"To Tsuljaes,or its one day!" ex-
claimed the Khan, "no horse alive
could do it,,,
\lt, my lord, your high -fed beasts
would not, but curs can; and Tanna-
jee and h's friend Netta Palkur have
the beet mares in the Dekhait- Nu
nt ttler; he escaped us;'
.'lie ua: he is --the very bone and
sinew of this rebellion," said the
Khan.
"True, as Sivaji Rajah is the spirit;
but he left static of the bones behind
liar at 1'osiljapoor," retiree(' the.
chief, with a yriln smile; "and I can
pick hint up f r curt, my '„rd, if yon
elle either help me or let Inc do it
a.oue as hest 1 can only remember, if
the town ie plundered, you know the
cause, and 1 am not responsible for
the blame,”
".That ten hadbetter avoid, my
:roma, said sail the Khats, "you are bad-
s .„ ken of already. But the bones,
geed it:lov the bonne! who or what
are they?"
"Alt! f had forgotten them:" con-
tinued the Pahar."Well, there is
\L mo '.l rintmul, MaloosrayT agent
and ,11a,"1,.t; as wily, aced more ails-
eai,v„ns. Ile is still at Tooljapeor,
pretending to give recitations —and.
they are very good, my 'lord, in thele
way, ---and to serve at the temple;
ion I out not sure that one c•f the
Mooriees is not at the hnttom. of it,
and when a man gets into women's
hands, he is easily caught. Then there
are all those who will assemble there.
Have you remarked, my lord, that
hardly one of the heads of the old
\lahratta families have come to pre-
sent their Nuzzurs to you?”
"I have remarked it," returned the
Khan, but supposed they were af-
raid of some demand for forage, or
horses, or money, and therefore kept
clear of ate."
"Not at all," returned the chief,
"they have all swore: to aid Sivaji,
and Maloosray took an account of
their quotas of horse and foot with
hila to the Rajah."
"Then they met Maloosray?"
".They did, my lord, the night he
came to the temple, and here are their
names, There are other people, you
see, who have ears and eyes besides
Maloosray and only that your Naib at
Tooljapoor is an owl, he had seen the
conspiracy long ago, while I was too
busy to watch it. Better, perhaps, he
raid not; we can do our work more se-
curely. And now, do you wish to seize
this gang of rebels or not;:1 advise
you to do so, because they are strong
and should there be any difficulties in
the West are capable of making a ser-
ious diversion, especially ff ittaloosray
or even this .Brahmam,—who is more
of a soldier than a priestget among
them. These Nimba'lkurs and Ghore-
parays, my lord, quiet as they look,
are heavily supported by the people;
and if the Ramoosees rise with then,
the country will be in a flange"
"And how dost thou know all' this,
Pahar Singh?" asked the Khan. "I
must have some warranty that it is
true,"
"'S'orrie months ago, .my lord," !he'
replied, "this .very Moro Trimmul and
others canvassed Inc: as to joining Si-
:,::thing should be wanting in their
re-
quired
equipment. and a few days � t vas te-
,.luired ttt complete preparations for

officers of the country to arrive and
pay their respects, and, among others,
Pahar Singh, no longer disguised, but
in his proper character as one of the
wardens of the frontier marches, at-
;elided and did service with a body of
picked then, both horse slid foot,
which rivalled, if they did not surpass,
the royal troops in completeness and
splendour of appearance.
Very different were the chief and
his nephew now, in comparison with
the time when we last 'saw then; and
in the noble figure, dressed in light
chain armour and cloth -of -gold, rid-
ing a superb grey horse; and giving
commands' to lits Wren, no one couid

eer and his cry t.i 'Ulla dilaya to

'My lord, there is a man wthout,

he must have speech of you alone. I
said it was impossible but he declared
you would be angry with me if you
knew he were denied, and that 1 was
to say to you, 'Ulla dilaya to leonga,'
and you would understand."
'Admit him, instantly," said the
Khan, to his .servant's astonishment.
"Ha, Pahar Singh again! what new
work has he now got here for us "
Muffled closely in a sheet, with his
sword under his arm, the chief appear-
ed to the Khan, and bent lowly before
?tint. "Send that man away, and hear
what I have to say," he said; "it is
important."
Atlee looked at the chief suspicious-
ly, ate though he were trusting his
master to a dangerous character; but,
at a reiteration of the order he turned
to depart,
-'Take this weapon- with you;
friend," said the chief, 'lau'ghing, "thou
art afraid of it, 'perhaps; not so shy
lord nor of nae, .Keep it for me,
however, till I come out"
Allee took the sword. "I did not
like the look of him,",he said to an-
other without, who belonged to the
fort, "Who is lie?"
:'Dost thou not know 'Pahar Singh"'
returned the man; "'that is ,his famous
sword Devi, which has drank many a
man's blood; corse let sus look at it:
There will be something to do, surely,

To the old Khan the place was fam-
^.'far. He had often taken turn, of
luty there to watch the frontier. but
Fazil and his friend it was new;
and when ceremonies of reception and
the introduction of Kowas Khan to
the officers of his father's levies. now
hie own, were finished, the friends
accepted the offer of the Kiaadar to
examine the marvels of the place.
The wonderful dam, through the
upper sluices of which the stream was
precipitated into a deep pool at its
Sot, in two pretty cataracts; the suite
of apartments in •the body of the dam

flood, and fell in a sheet before its
-windows: and the noble Cavalier at
the east end, from the top of which
extensive views of the country 031 all
sides were obtained, were duly ad-
mired. 1t was evening when the
friends reached the summit of the
Cavalier, and they sat there watching
the glorious sunset, over town and
fort and lake, in which the piles of
gold, and crimson clouds ibrolcen with
dark purple with the sombre masses
of fort walls and bastions, and preci-
pices 'on which they stood, were re-
flected in its deep waters.
!It was not so easy to prepare the
troops required there aa at the capi-
tal; bet the Khan was anxious that
va:ji's .band, and offered the whatever
terms 1 pleased to ask, I refused; for
I was content as I was,"
"That means," remarked the Khan
dryly, "'that thou tvouldst have joined
them if there had been anything to:
be got by it"
'catty lord is still incredulous," re-
turned the chief, "and perhaps I' de-
serve doubt till I have given hint far-
ther proof, ,But 1' feel the K'ing's

these rebels; are they ,still there? and.
ho VC many may there be of them?"
"They are there, my lord," replied
the chief, "I was in the temple last
bight disguised as a 13:yragee, with
my nephew and four others; we
heard the recitations from the Ram-
ayan which to Hindus are very much
what the Peer :Sahib is saying now in
the mosque yonder, and said, yester-
day at the ,Eedgah on the plain when.
the whole force shouted "Dien', deen'
and it sounded like thunder, Jay Rao
Nintbalkur was there and some of the
Kallays—"
"How many?" said the Khan im-
patiently interruptit:g hint; "what
care 1 fur their teeth -breaking
names?"
"Five hundred perhaps, including
followers."
"And. is this temple a strong .place
Do we require guns?"
"Strong enough to defend if they
knew you were coaling," returned
Pahar Singh, "'but for the most part
they twi':i be unarmed, and looking at
the show. ,We need only cavalry, to
surround the town and no one can es-
cape us. No guns, my lord; they
could not be taken up tine mountains
at night and ours must be a surprise,
else the temple will be as dark as
midnight,"
"\-a Allal ya Kahizl" (destroyer of
enemies), muttered the Khan to him-
eelf, "a rare trap for these ,Tiaffirs—
let them die! Good;' he co» timied; "it
sinal be done; but when? I should
ntarcli to -morrow for Sholapoor,"
"Do so, my lord, and halt at Tato-
docl:warce; `tis half way. I will join
yon there with some of my people
the day after to -morrow, and lead you

"What goddes, ray friend?"

"No no; nem her people, I will see

"It is known to thee and inc. Pahar

"Now let me depart." said the chief,
and the night atter neat I will come."
"God willing," replied the Khan,
dismissing his strange visitor with a
courteous salutation.

"We cannot prevent men's eye's

"Nevertheless," replied R'ael'ha; "let

days to come, or, if she '.goes, we ,will.
both accompany her, 'C'his will give
her fresh assurance and in a few' days
Ile will be gone,"
(Radha, however; anew her brother
better than Anunda. She knew that
with any scheme against Tara in
view, no's -natter whet it might be, she
was incapable of watching him so
completely as to defeat his intentions;
but she could at least be wary, and
gain information of them, and a small
purse of money with which. Anunda
supplied her, given to Chintna, gained
her constant information of her bro-
ther's movements, such as she could
not otherwise have obtained.
Moro Trimmu9, however, to all ap
pearattce ceased to pursue Tara. For
several clays she did not visit the
temple. She herself feared collision
with him and kept away. But gradual-
ly, a sense of neglect of her daily duty
the loss of the satisfaction which -had
resulted from it and the dread of of-
fending the terrible Being in whose
exacting, service she .believed,—
wrought
believed;wrc,u<ght on her mind so as to render
inaction intolerable.
;And no wonder now. Her small
household tasks which 'had previously
occnpied her leisure Roars, had been
resigned to Radha; the temple service
required iter. presence for the greater
part of the morning and afternoon;
and her stedic and some needful rest,
absorbed the remainder of the day.
Now that she remained idle at home.
therefore, the time hung heavy on her
hands, and site sighed for the occupa-
tion and excitement which had be-
come habitual to - her; while the
yearning to serve the goddess—never
t„ he absent from her—grew stronger
and stronger day by day, with a fasc-
ination she could not resist. Day by
day those weird, glowing, eerie eyed
seemed to follow her about. seek her
in her sleep and by turns threaten or
entreat her.
"Mother," she said at last, and after
a few days had passed in restless idle-
ness at home, "I feel that my life here
is not what it was. The goddess' eyes
follow ane and she sits at my heart
,ray and night. \\'hy dost tabu not
come to ale, Tara? she says; fear -nut,
but conte; no one dare harm thee.
and I would have thee near ale, This
she whispers daily ashen my time of
service comes, and I ant here and a not

she gives ane strength and I will go.
What can he do to ate? The dread of
hint is gone from the,"
"\\'e will go with thee, daughter,"
replied Anunda, 'and remain with
thee daily. Before us, he dare neither
look nor speak; and perhaps, too, thy
suspicions were misplaced."
"Perhaps," she replied; "and why
should he do me wrong? I should be
sorry if I had thought ill of him with-
out a cause."
So they went. The first day Moro
Trinmttl was not there. ;On the sec-
ond clay they met him ,and received
his distant and courteotis salutation.
He did not even speak to his sister
and turned away directly, Gttnga was
present on both occasions; and on
the first day Tara was surprised, and
perhaps somewhat igratifie'd, by the
manner in which she and some of the
others met her; offered her garlands
of flowers, even, put them into her
hand's, and tied them like ibeacelets
round her artns and into her hair,
t"You have been - ill, sister," said
Gunge, deferentially and respectfully,
"and we have done your work, and
offered flowers for your recovery to

,On her return home, Tara being
still asleep, Radha could not conceal
from Anunda the agitation which the
scene with her brother had caused her.
As she reached the inter apartments,
she threw herself upon Amanda's
neck and the terror she felt at what
she considered a narrow escape 'front
death, found relief in a flood of tears.
The particulars of that scene she
dared not fully relate, but Anunda
gathered- enough from her to believe
that Moro Trinimul had threatened,
if not struck his sister, and that Tara's
suspicions were but too deeply found-
ed.
IIf Anunda had not felt assured of
Tara's purity and devotion to the
Worship of the goddess, in its spirit-
ual sense only, she would have prev-
ented at all hazards •ee-haps her as-
sumption of service. Zt was, She knew,
one of the trials to which the girl
wooed be subject as long as her
beauty remained, that her public eve
ocatiott would expose her to the gaze
of allclasssses of people. But: the act
of Tara's ,profession of service wars so
sudden, so unloo'ked for, and had ,been
carried out so immediately; that there
was no time to consider bhe conse-
quences.
Now, too, it was impossible to re-
cede. She dared rot retract from the
dread god'd'ess, nor could any attempt
be made, es they 'believed, to with-
draw her without danger. Many in-
stances of such partial service and re-
linquishment of it, capricious or ined-
itated, had 'come to her knowledge,
which had been followed by sudden
death, or what was worse, loss of rea-
son and raving madness.
WeUI, 'therefore; might the sister
wives tremble at the consequences of
transgression, even! by temporary
withdrawal Tara's service. It was
