The quotation vvas correct, and his own fanaticism confiiimed it. Was he, however, so appalled by the recent destruction, of innocent Hindu life, that he hesitated as to this on•e? or was it in regard to the fact that :'Toro Trim,mul was a IB'rahmun, and the popular objection to putting such min to death being great, that he now hesitated? Both causes probably combined to influence him. "I ant not going to do it, Pundit- jee," said Lukshnntn to :Metro '.Crim- ntul in a whisper, "because thou art a 13rahnutn; but there is no ]farm wishing thee as sharp a sword as this is, Seel" \lora Trim•ntul looked' askance at the hunchback as he would have done at a reptile, and shrank instinctively from him, They saw his eye wander along the edge of the bright blade fr,n hilt to point; hitt though he shuddered perceptibly, he said noth- ing. !Air n"i K han aril` his chin and beard in his hand, leaned his elbott n his ::neelooked furtively once or twice nn 1 r hes bushy eyebrows -a+ the priest and Fazil in turn, but did not speak, and again resumed his position.

In doing so the gold zone which he had hong over his arm rolled away.
