he advanced to. Tara and whispered in
her ear, •
1'ac. _lfaha Ranee • followed and
', fused as she entered the ve'tibulc.
The alight shone full 'upon Tara and
her expression tef deep misery could
not be mistaken. Long afterwards, the
Ilrot sight of that pale, wan, despairing
face recurred 'to the lady with pain,
and she never forgot the look of
hopeless grief wh'i'ch Tara had first
turned upon her.
"There is no inspiration in that
face," said the lady ,to the attendant,
—"none. 41 seems to me the goddess
hath forsaken her. Off what is she ac -
c
used?"
"She was taken from 'the _Mussul
man chief, we hear," said the Brah-
tnttn, "and was' to have become a,lfus-
..ulmani, They say, -too, she is a sor-
ceress, and does evil with her eyes;
but iGovind Rao placed her here, and
knows about her.".
"I fear her not," cried the Ranee
with flashing eyes. "Who is she that
she dare sit in my ,presence? Put her
cult! Away with thee, trench!" she
continued to 'T'ara, "get thee 'hence!
If thou art forsworn, begone! Take
her away, Bhee'mee—she is an• offence
to us,"
"Get u'p, girl," said Bheemee rough-
ly, as she advanced, followed by sev-
eral other women—i"get up; dost thou
not hear else we will cast thee out,'
!Gunge cane forward 'boldly, "Do
not touch her or hurt her," she said:
"I fear she is not now in her right
mind, '11 1 may 'take her, II will look
after her. Get up, Tara," she contin-
ued in her ear: "come we will go and
(tide ourselves. Conte, for thy life,
come!" and she tried to lift her tip
and drag her away.
But Tara could not rise, her !hill's
seemed paralyzed by grief or terror
and he did not evidently understand
what had .occurred. Not noticing the
Malta Ranee, she disengaged herself
from 'Gunge and once more stretched
.it her arms to tic shrine before her,
ml cried in piteous tones which af-
fected many around her to tears, "0
1 will not leave thee: do with
hie as th011 01'i't, e0011 to death!". and
o lay moaning.
"Sen! for Go•ind Rao ,an':! Wittul
Shastree, lady," said the old lir:thniun
who, was sobbing and wiping his eyes:
"they know of her and yen will hear
about her from 'then,"
"Good," replied the Ranee, softened
already, "let them be brought instant-
by,—they are without. We will await
their e,anin.g."
Nome little time elapsed and others
assembled. No knew what was go-
ing to happen, tatter a while Tara
seemed 10 re.;ain sense and to remem-
ber why she was there. ,for she sat tip
and they saw her lips moving as if in
prayer. As the trumpets .sounded the
setting. sof the I!it-et 'watch at sunset,
and the great kettledrums and pipes
played the evening music in the Nobut
!+hand about the gate, the Brahmin
attendants entered with the usual of-
ferings and began to chant one of the
evening hymns of praise, as they
moved round the shrine in time with
the faint clash of the silver cynthal
which one of them carried. '.!'hen, ti-
midly and faint;y at first, brit increas-

The inner part of 'the vestibule \vast
not large,—a square roost supported
upon massive stone pillars at the cor-
ners with a slightly raised dais all ar-
ound; atter as the 'ld'radmuns entered
and took their scats, Tara couldnot

01000 conscious of surrounding occur

would rise, Gunge approached her, but
Tara motioned her away, "My time is
not yet cause" she said; "I will mat

about her and resumed her silent 'po-
si•tion.
But not for long. There was asud-
den movement among those without
and a way was cleared for one who
came its rapidly.
"Who wants 010' •here?" cried a
strong manly voice apparently hoarse
from shouting. ".1 .girll twat girl? Let

She rose at once, excited and de.

preseive in her abhorrence, that \for,
Trinnnttl shrank back a step, abashed,
"i e t ne!" she cried, stamping he•

continued to Tara, who had stood up
and was trembling violently, but not
with terror. "Fear not; thou art under

"Fool and dotard," est -claimed Moro

between his clenched teeth, "I w•iif

"Tara, Tara!" cried a husky lake
close to her, entreatingly; "Tara, what

girl, why hast thou doomed thyself?

"Begone!" cried the girl interrupt-
ing hint; '3 spurn thee, Moro Trim -

dragged him bhckw•ards with one
hand, while he seized his sword and
wrested it front him with the other:
"art thou a child? dost thou fight with

me; the tRajah calls thee," The Brah-
:mun struggled to be free but Tamla-
jee's powerful arras were about him
in which he was borne away .helpless
to resist,
Not in her firm admission to the of-
fice she had held, not in the holiest of
ceremonies at which she had before
aseisted, was greater ,honor ever done
to Tara than now. Bedecked withgar-
lands, with flowers and the attendants
forming themselves into a procession
and chanting hymns of praise. led her
round and round the image. The
temple court and its precincts were
now filled with people who tools up
the shouts of victory—'•Jey Xalee! Jcy
Toobbja Mata!" and as she passed on-
wards, throwing handfuls not flowers
among them, all who could reach her,
touched her garments reverently or
prostrated themselves 'before 'her with
frantic cries for blessing. And so they
ted her on.
IHow many sweet memories crowd-
ed into Tara's mind now and urged
-er on, There was no fear, no irresol-
nttf'on— father, mother, Zyna, Itazil—
all dead, as she thought, and a fierce
and ruthless enemy !persecuting her
to the last. 'All she could think on was
