These thoughts checked the impulse which g p had so nearly carried him on, --it night have been to destruction. "Shall we follow hien ? sha'll we speak to the King?" asked Bulwunt hurriedly, observing Fazil's irresolu- tion. "Say quick ly, -,:teal:,--we have not a moment to lose." "No, aro! we are better here," re- plied Fazil, "The avowed knowledge of that secret might chance to be our death -warrant; and has not the King given hint lcawd ? (Let Its watch still- we may gather furtuer particulars; but to •follow the King is madness. Listen! they are speaking." Again, therefore, they resumed their resper- Live positions. .\ few sticks had been thrown on the ember„ and Maun Singh was kneeling clown and blowing them into a flame, which, bursting through theta in small flashes with every breath, partially illumined the ,figures around it and the 'blackened Ovalle of the apartment, ?eller !Singh sat with the gold coins before him, .counting then one by one, A large portion were al- .ready laid on one side, Which he pro- seeded to drop into the bag. The ex- pression of his coarse and savage fea- tures could now be distinctly seen; for not only was the light from the fire becoming steady, but he had re- moved from his original position, so that he sat with his face nearly full towardsFazil, though from 'Butwunf `Rao he was more concealed than be.. fore, It was a face which, -once seen, could never be forgotten. 'Men saw it and quailed before it: 'women sa v it and -shuddered. anti F,azi1 rememb.

There, then, he sat, Turban he had none: 'his matted hair, twisted into a rough rape, was tied in a knot ori the crown o'f his .head, card covered With ashes, showing the 'high narrow forehead -on which, though crossed by deep wrinkles, the forked veins, swelled b his excitement, stood out ,ileo ridges, betokening passions wild, fierce, and uncontrollable. The eyes, always hri, Ivt, tittered restlessly and g g suspiciously from beneath the heavy •trot*s, to which, and to the ]ids, the white ashes, smeared on his face frons time. to time as he sat, had ad- hared; ani, his hard grin disclosed the prominent s, in allusion to he chosePersian to cal] tusks, in allusion to his name: When we last saw this face at Itg,a, it hvas excited; but (here was a soft- ening influence exercised by the pres- er•ne df his adopted son, and Pahar Singh ryas oiler some restraint, NOW there was none, and it was. difficult to recognize the feattires et all ostler his disguise, which served to increase the natural ferocity of the expression.

His :amts, which :had appeared so muscular when he suddenly start- 'ed ' up to threaten the king, seemed even longer and more powerful, as he sat stretching out one over the blaze, while the fingers of'the other hand played among the gold pieces before him. iPirbar ISingh's countenance was now very repellant, It seemed to Fa- zil that mercy coeld never issue from those pitiless lips which, with •she full nostrils distending and 'contracting rapidly under the action of 'feelings not yet e-vpressed, prodncecl an effect which ,fascinated, while it shocked one tvtused to it.
