misery Which cannot be described;
and yet one mercy had accompanied
this dread, that they had not Scilly
-known what had happened in the
temple, and so hope had sustained
thein, Now, however, there was no
doubt; and in a paroxysm of mingled
fear and thankfulness, they cast
themselves beside the low 'bed, em-
bracing their husband's feet, end
weeping passionately, The 'Shastree
was too weak to speak or move; he
co•ulcl only lift up his ,hand gently,
as if to bless theft and welcome them,
while a faint but grateful smile spread
itself over his ,pallid features.
‘For a little time, and as they sat
silently beside him ministering to
their wants -for Anunda was an un-
rivalled nurse, and had at once pro-
ceeded to arrange many things about
hint, as he liked—strange to say, they
did not miss Tara; hut'Anunda's mind
suddenly misgave her. Her husband,
whom her arrival had aroused, had
again fallen into a doze, and she .went.
outside to ask for her. The court
had been left to theft, and the door
of the outer one was closed, "T'ana,”
she called gently, several tithes, but
there was no reply. She might be
asleep, she thought, in one of the
roosts which opened into it, and she
searched in each in succession.' There
was no one, Radha joined' her.
'Where is Tara " she said, "S.he
should have been with him." True,
she should have been with her father,
but she was not.
The women turned sick at " heart
and sat clown. A nameless terror
seized them, so absorbing, that they
could say nothing, but that she was
not. Anunda dare not ask. Of the
two, Radha was most self-possessed.
Looking through the door, she saw
the old Pwtw'ari's_ wife sitting outside
it, and as if watching the place, She
called her in, and the dame saw at a
glance what w•as needed. O the n$s•
ery of that mother's fact! who, atter
trying :o articulate "Tara, which her
:ins •e'rttted is though she spoke the
word. fell forward clasping the knees
end feet of her old friend, and groan -
:nu in her despair.
I he gods is hate given thee one pre-
cious , hjeet, sister, and taken the
outer' she said. "Be thankful for
what is ,pared thee."
Then _\nnnda thought Tara was
dead, and did Radha; but the wo-
man resumed—
"And yet, why should I -ay so.
Anunda? We know not; she has not
hen heard of. Let n. wait. Hundreds
of , nr friends fled frem the temple
end the town. Many we sheltered here
1l yesterday till the farce passed by;
hen they returned home. S,, Tara

have urea watching. at your house
:utd at the temple. The Ithopeys will
send ill tcili gellre if they get :fns'."
Site is not in tete garden " asked
Radh t.
'No; we -cached there lam!. ago,
and in nil. the gardens. No, she is not
aere, and you tuns. wait, She was
-traced of the goddess. .iter, ;opt
will net be deserted. At least , e I.n„•t
s.he. was not killed,"
,Anunda wets comforted for
ntent by this, and the lawmen 'dent
and resented their watch ,y their
t.ti-ht1. It was a relief, ieihtrs, not
to s ,tak a relief, to ,, to find, in
watching hint and ministering to h -
want-, a liversi, ni from the other
care. Sooner or later Tara night
conte in, Jamin had at once gone in
search ,.f her: the 'Mosley had des-
patched horsemen to every village
arotuul, and there would surely he
news of her hcfore nightfall,
'Pant nonnight, nor the
e came that night,
nest day. The 'Shastree was not yet
aware of Tara's absence; Sever had
dtegnn—the fever of the wound—and
he was unconscious of most things.
Sometimes recognized Armada, and
sometimes called .Radha, Tara. It .was
a blessed thing then that he knew ,no
more. :Neither of the women relaxed
for a moment in their work, and sat
there by the 'bed, without sleep anti
without rest, looking for trews of
Tara; 'but none came. .Messenger af-
ter messenger arrived, but with no
tidings of her.
Late next day Janoo returned. He
must see 'Anunda, he said; he had
news of importance about Tara, and,
so far as he knew she was not dead.
Anunda went to the outside; he
might not enter because of his im-
pure caste.
'Janoo was a ratan of few words and
scant ceremony, and he ,blurted out,
-Moro Trint•ntntl and ;Gunge took 'her
away, lady. twa drinking last night
with some of our people, who are
srtangers, and came from a distance,
and 'who ,were dividing booty: and

tiful Mcreole e as the disturbance
broke out, and put her in a •pal•ankeen,
and. they were paid by Moro Trimt-
When he awoke, having lain down to
sleep in the bazar, it was evening, and
they were lighting the lamps in the
shops. "It is too late now," thought
he, to go across the hills for the
Shastree's wives, and they are safer
where they are;" so he betook himself
to the house, His men were there in
charge. The dead negro had been.
taken out and buried, and some of the
blood washed away; 'but the place
was utterly defiled: the sacred sure
had ;one out, and the whole 'prem-
ises must undergo purification ere
they could enter or inhabit it once
more. janoo shrugged his shoulders—
"They cannot live here." he said;

not, 'T will burn a sown. -stack of his
every night till he does.
rAlt this Was hold rapidly and. con-
fusedly. The ,de'teil was h'ard'ly intelli-
gible; but one great fact came out be-
yond all others, and it it were true,
better Tara.were dead—t0, far better!
'Wait," said Anunda, "and I will
come to thee again;" and she went in
and 'Whispered it all to IR'adha. She.
saw the girl's •face Hush and her bos-
om heave raprdly, "Ganga must have
helped him," she said, "else he had
not dared, and 1 will see to it myself."
So they both went out to the Ratnloo-
see, and Radha at once declared she
w'otild go with hint to the town above
and snake inquiries.
She was shrewd and active, Ac-
companied by Janoo and two of the
Bhoslay's retainers, she soon found
the pian from. whom Talmo had heard
of Tara, and listened to his story.
rT hey had known' nothing of Moro
Trirnnul's purpose, he said, till that
night of the recitation, or how the
girl they took was to be decoyed
away, or who she was; but as t'ite dis-
turbance began, she was 'brought out
by hint in itis arms, and then they
topic her, Yes, .he knew what shad be-
came of her. Moro 7.:rinm,'u1 had been
put in irons by the Mab'onved'an c'hi'ef,
and Tara had been carried off to
Sholapoor, He and his companions
had watched the pa!lanikeen from the
t.oc'ks in the ravine where they had
hidden themselves, because, if it had
been 'left unguarded, they would have
gone to it.
'It was clear enough now, therefore,
that Tara was gone, not dead. That
would have been grief—•,bitter grief;
but here was more misery than death
would have caused. Who had taken
their Tara? for what 'fate was she
reserved? They could only think of.
her beauty as destined for some -lla-
honned:ut harem—reserved Ifor a iate
worse than death.
at was piteous to see the mother
and the sister -wife prostrated under
this misery and the state of their hus-
band; and it was with difficulty that
Radha was restrained from going at
once to Sholepo,ir after the camp,
and e,ldeavonring to trace and reclaim
T:trt. If she had only clone s„—if this
energetic girl, used to rough way; and
rapid journeys, had been allowed to
follow out her own plans, what mis-
ery might not have been saved to all 1
Hud she pleaded, that she could not
be denied to her brother. She would
force from him an account of Tara,
and w:'ulrl bring her hack,
111ut Anunda hesitated; and the
Shastree, to whrnt all was told, was
more than it:malty vacillating. The
Nlahontc lan camp, full of licentious-
ness, 'w't no place for a Brahman
girl. "The 'Shastree trust be attcnd-
e l ” :\nnnda said; and, in Tara's ab-
sence, he seemed to cling the more
fondly to his young wife, and to miss
her ministrations if even she was
temporarily absent, Finally, the nat-
ter was left in the hands of their
friends. the Blnnslay- and the old Pttt-
wari, and they decidecl that Radha
forst not go; but a messenger should
be sent, x‘ ho assisted by friends and
11rahtttlln•- at 'Sholapoor, would do all
that wet. needful it possible.
In truth, all these friends thought
that seeking for Tara at all was in-
judicious, They could not believe,
considering her beauty and public vo-
cation. that she could have escaped
observation, and they had conte to
the conclusion that her preservation
from dishonour was impossible. Bet-
ter she were dead; I r, if alive, reunion
was henceforth impossible, for the
hard rules of religenue fftith mu
et ex-
clude her from. all assistance any
sympathy. 'These were hone truths
which, sooner or later Vyas Shastree
himself would acknowledge; and
12adlia's plan was .o'verru'led.
IT4 was some days before an answer
carte. Communications were neces-
sarily slow when t'h'ere were only fool
messengers to carry them. The Shea -
tree's fever had passed away, and his
wound was progressing favourably,
'Mentally and 'bodily, he had passed a
fearful crisis; but natures like his
bevy to these calamities rather than
break, and there was hope at 'least in
ithe messenger who had gone, to
which they all clung,
Little by little they heard enough
to sustain this hope. The 'ii'hosiay's
correspondent, a hanker in the town
of Sholepoar, had spared no pains
for the recovery of Vyas 'S'hasiree's
child; but 'beyon'd the tact that in
the 'family of Aifzool Khan there was
a new 'Hindu slave, of great beauty,
who was carefully secluded in the
zenana, he could 'ascertain nothing;
and the inquiries, be wrote, nntst be
continued in camp, for the force had
marched, .and was now some stages;
d'istan't, going towards Wye.
Again, after an interval of weary,
seeded to comp, and returned from it
direct. They never forgot that even-.
ing of his ,arrival. The 'Shastree had,
meanwhile, been removed to 'his own
house, as soon as it had' undergone
purification, and lay, weak as Yet, but
convalescent, in the 'verandah of the
inner count, living, as lie said, in sight
of the o'bje'cts most loved by his !lost
child; and it was almost ati occupa-
tion to watch dreamily Tara's bright
iflow'ers glowing in the sunlinght.:'i e'
was lying there,, watching them, as the
evening sung declined, at, -d the colour.
of its light was growing richer as the
shadows of the b'ui'ldings lengthened,
and Annetta had just said he must
r'eti're to his room; but he :was Ipl'ea•cl-
en'g to 'be allowed to :stay, nw'hen the
man was announced •without.
Weary and footsore, ,Radha and a
serv'aat poured water over his feet,
and led him itt. 'There is no bad
news,” he said; "none; Tara was
well." Then they all listened, with
.grateful hearts and 'tears of joy, to
the man's tale of having discovered
'her, though he could not get speech
of -her or send -a message to her; 'but
in 'AScoa! Xlhatt's 'family there was a
13'rahmun 'girl called Tara, who 'was.
an ho'n'oured guest; her people had
been skilled, they said, and they 'w'e're

I.\ pleasant life was it to 'rata. The
daily stages* of a large army encum-
bered with heavy material are aecet-
sarily slow at all times. and the coun-
try roaals were not as yet dry .from
the recent rains, so that the force
coal -d not hurry on. The Khan himself
wan in no haste, On the arrival of ':fhe
1!ahratta ambassadors he had receiv-
ed them conntenue'1y, and insisted
upon their being the guests of the
royal camp. They had not much to
say, beyond general protestations of
attachment. Their masters demands
were simple, they 5lenew; but 'lie would
treat tor'thent in person when he met
tite Khan. Meanwhile, supplies for
the royal forces were abundant; the
stages they arranged were shorter
perhaps than the IKhan, and especiah
ly iFrazil, approved of; but they Sound
grain and ,forage provided everywhere,
and the camp bazar had always the
appearance of a busy fair.
On his own part, Alfzool Khan,
yielding to the persuasions of Sivaji's
tagenits, despatched an envoy of his
own, the Bra'h'man Punta Gopinath,
to P•eptabgurh. Their master's mind,
they said, would be relieved by it;
and as 'Si'vaji had evinced confidence
in sending his saw=n seri *ants u-nsolici't-
ed, so a :similar mark of courtesy
could hardly be refused. The l'ihan
did not object to it. The Envoy re-
ceived his instructions Ito act as ci'r-
cumtstttilces might require, leaving all
points of detail .for 'future arrange-
ment; 'arid Btudw'unt Rao was placed
in command Of the escort which ac-
contpanied him, .In this capacity he
was sale against all local enemies;
and he went the more wiltiogly, as he
trusted, tinder this opportunity to int-
