THURSDAY,
OC'TOBE'R 11, 1934:
"Ale!" 'said Shere IKh'an, after F a-
zil's ;first journey in 'the palankeen,
and as he lay, languidand weakened
by his fever, in the outer tent'where
his retainers could 'attend on him -
"whom hast thou sent us, :Me's'h'-?
'They tell of 'Ohand'ee :Begum of the
Niz'aau S iahee's, but who, after alt,
was one of our royal race, -ghat she.
rode 'with. her army o'f true •believers,
and fought with her enemies. ;Bp
Alla! this girls riches "so that it is
heard to 'follow her; and we all say,
there is that in her eyes which, had
she a sword i'nher hand, nay, with-
out it, would lead us, as only thou, 'or
the 'Khan could lead uis, Meah. Yes,
She is a jewel 'oif great price."
And 'retail liked to ihear this; he
liked to hear ofd Goolab exhaust her
'vdcaibttlary .af endearment upon Tara,
as she slat by 'hitt', rubtbing his feet
when the fever oppressed him; and
when, in those feverish dream's Which
are part 'df this disorder, strange tan -
cies ',beset 'him, the IB•rahnluhi 'girl of-
ten became a Prominent 'actor in

ISo it grew on, ,The 'h'a'bits of East-
ern people do not ad'm't'of those de-
monstrations and protestations Of
ave which 'form part of our social
habits. 'But we have no warrant :for
saying that their 'feelin'gs are the
less ardent or ,permanent. \'Ve think
not; and that there, as elsewhere,
they progress silen•ily, and are .after-
wards called' into active exercise by
occasion and opportunity, and with
possibly more energy and passion
than among ourselves.
IWhen 'Lurlee had rallied the Brah-
min girl sometimes upon her attach-
ment to her old faith, now, she said,
hopeless, -and 'Zyna, throwing her
arms round her as. they sat together
in the twilight after evening prayer,
beuiught her to give it ep-to come

and .pleaded hard :for thee, -Tara 'vas
sorely tried, Whom had she now to
look t"? whither was she going? 1f
there were wane of her mother's re-
latives at \\'ye, -and all she 'knew
of then' was the surname, -what
,las •hr- to do? Even were they there,
cdare'cl not look at htan eiow, even by
stealth; but there was ever a sweet
assurance' of 'his presence -of his, care
-of his ,thought, which produced a
kind of ectasy, Milling her mind with
a sttibIine devotion and innocent pas-
sion: often Tilling her eyes, too, caus-
ing a ts•rang'eIy tight feelings at her
heart as•i'f she could not breathe, ankh
then a deep sigh as 'h'er tears :welled
aver; and she hoped, with an almost
delirious joy, that she was to !belong
to ,him by -and -airy: na matter how far
distant it iivi'ght be, --'only to belong
to him, and be for ever with him:
!And so the time :passed to thein all:
A pleasant life which, clay by clay,

and caused indifference to outward
occurrences, IB•ut had her eneilry 'been

the litters and followers generally,
would' not arrive in ciemtp before

no :moan; and he laid !his plants ac-
cordingly. Day and night; he and
:Gunge, in various disguises, had
watched about the .K'han's tents, and
had tried to get speech of the 'serv-
ants. .He dare not carne openly, ex-
cept to the 'K'h'an's 'D'u•rbar, where
he heand nothing, He was nearly
hopeless of success, when he under-
stood casually that the evening
nasnicli was determined •up'on, All fhe
'force was not to move; bat some
only with the Khan, for the sake
of convenience of supplies and water.
It was a short stage -only four or
five Miles, and the Khan's tents were
to precede the force, 'II'e and •his
family were to remain in a village
for the night, and several houses had
.been cleared for him, Thus much had
'Gunge .piekecl up, and 'far °nee, for-
