With t'he Khan's loving ord- er. had come a 'flood of pleasant me- mories to her, of old camp days, hard tights ton in which her lord—safe, generally victorious, and restored :o her prayers, found leis wife busy with some favorite dish; and they loved tacit ether in a homely fashion, bet- ter fe,r the cooking and the eating of it. :Now, as the lady sat over her pri- vate :brazier, at which were her own silver cooking -vessels,., the Khan's special gift, she told Zyna of many an old time and scent—of many a narr- owescape—many a rough march which she had shared with th-e old diner, anti clone her part in binding up his wounds if he were 'hurt, or Looking for him if he were hungry. "Your mother was not of our rough Dekhani sort, daughter," she said; -people tell me she never went out with the artily: she was a weak, fra- ;rile think;, I have 'heard, but very beautiful. Peace be with her, for thy father loved her much, and :hath .ne- ver loved me as her. But no children `:ave conte, Zema—no children, that is ., --aud the lady sighed and perhaps :cars gathered in her eyes for she wiped them hastily with the corner her muslin scarf"Well, it is God's will. daughter; and though I could te} er understand it Properly, there n nlet ton„ ll'0011,1.0 in the hone u,pc which they cast when I wa ! etr,.tlle 1 You t see, Zyna, my platlet A as Hien ll ars, which represented, aacr—n. it was fire;—no, that's a rale planet, asst so it niset have been -arth.

"Blt you are notelistening, girl; a,h, trait till your own time conies, I'll warrant you anxiousand curious 'en - 'ugh to know whether you are fire or earth, or air or water; and whether he is air, or water, or whatever he may be.

"But, ah, mother, look, it is hurningl" And so it was. In her astrological i'lsolvcnlent, Lurlee K•han'um had for ,tten the kicheri, which, as the bot - :fon 01 the pan 'became too' hot, sent up a kunst unsavory odor and brown s:nnkc issued from tutcler t'he 1111. "G -,•l 'forgive me my .neglect, den - :titter," exclaimed the lady sorrowful- ly, as she examined the pan: "it is .rarely quite spoiled and thy father is particular.

Lurlee was the arrival of the K'han's escort, in 1 the heating of their kettle -drums in the it rr court; and as she listened i rt...,1(1 up, ladle in hand expecting her lord's entrance, she was perhaps relieved by the appearance of Goolah who as the general outdoor scout. brought tidings from the courtyard of occurrences of all kinds: "They are not coming, lady;" ,said, the nurse. "They are gone to the Kot wal:s and will stay there, That's the news brought by Peer Khan, and a host of them,,And there's • Bulwu'nt Rao •as good as dead; and he's to be ant in the private apartments, and the - King's doctor is to be sent 'for; and I -Lust go and see to a bed for hien, and a soft mattress and pillows and sheets, and then they'll all be spoilt with his blood. !His blood, indeed!"

IIndeed Zyna had very little; the tnention of that dreaded name, the certainty that if 'her father could have returned he would, and the fact of 1111wnnt Rau being dangerously wounded, all combined to terrify, and 1 rrlee herself was no calmer.

She sat down upon the stool before her brazier, and, after rocking herself to and fro for a while. burst into an uncontrollable fit of ,shliine. It was difficult to say, per - 'taps, what had most particularly at - 'octet' her: but undoubtedly the burn ieg of the kicheri was at the bottom 1 all. It had been so good. Then she CHAPTER XXXVI1, The day wore on; and it may be imagined that the anxieties of the lady Lurlee and the fair Zyna were rot rliniinished by the continued ab- seeue of the Khan and his son.

"Now, what is to be done?" asked Zyna, "0 mother, thou seenlest la un- derstand everything and art confid- ent, and'I am distracted with appre- hension, 0 my father! -0 my brother!

"\V -e must go to the .palace and in- quire wily thy father is detained," re- plied 'Lurlee decisively. "Ah, 'Goolab, where wort thou? !But never mind," she continued, as the dame entered, "Lay out clothes for us; we must go. to the palace; and 'bid some one go and say we pray to see the Begum Sa'hiba and order the palaukeens and an escort to be ready.

I had forgotten Well, a few," "No, mother, no!" cried' -Zyna, "not sm. With our hearts heavy and sad, it surely is no time to put on jewels. Let us rather go with sober garments, and prostrate 'ourselves before the Peer's shrine on our way." "I tell thee the Peer cannot help us retorted the dance tartly, "it is the ,tars and the Begum.

Her confidence in the stars sustained her far better than Zyna's faith in the saint—that is, if one might judge by the resolute and satisfied features of the elder ,face as it bent .over its plate, eating heartily, and the distressed, anxious, and tear- ful expressions o'f the younger, 'en- deavouring almost 'vainly'to eat at all. ft was of no avail that 'Lurl•ee en- couraged her 'daughter, and even picked out tempting morsels from the kabobs, .and set them before lher,. with the hottest of the phoolkas, as they were sent in short relays front the kitchen. - "A'h, daughter! he would have en- joyed this," said Lurlee, as she wash- ed her 'h'trnds over the, -ewer brought her et the conclusion of the meal, and sighed in, a manner whlc'it plainly ,signified her regret not to be able to eat more. "Yes„ tine kabob was good, but t'hoti 'hast' scarcely tasted it; a trifle more pepper would' ,have 'been better,' perhaps, yet it 'was good. ,And now, girl, I ant ready to face the Kotwal or the IBegum, or—the peace of God be on ''him--Adil Shah .him- self.

Ale all was: now gone—her trouble, her ex- pectation of a loving greeting , all ::one: and the sense 01 neglect and ln= difference tinder which she habitually existed, had for the time taken its place. But gradually the sobbing was soothed, and Lurlee, laying her head against :Zyna's bosom, seemed lost in thought." "There must be unfavorable con- junctions among the planets today, depend upon it, daughter," she said at length, rousing herself and drying her 'eyes, "else all this would 110t have happened, Now, let me look steadily into it: perhaps we may learn some- thing for our guidance. " "Look!" continued the lady after a Pause, and a brief examination of an astrological table, w'hich she usually carried about her, "look here.
