Gopal Sinh lighted some tinder
with his flint and steel,and then a
leaf cigarette, 58 we may call it, and
began to smoke in silence which was
only broken by She dripping of the
rain from the porch of .the temple and
the tree, the ,general plash over the
plain, and the 'loud and continuous
croaking of the frogs its the pools and.
puddles.
The Jemadar first broke silence,
"Sonne one must look again," he'con
tinned, alter a while; "and it is bright-
er
er now, Go thou,.'Lnkshmun, take the
blanket. and sit close."
,"It is not weather to turn out a
dog," muttered the man, sulkily, get-
ting up and 'stepping down front the
porch; "but I will go, Maharaj, if it is
your order. Shall I go on to 'Kiting,"
he continued, "`and see if I can get
tidings of him? Better that than sit-
ting up -there like a .drenched scare-
crow in a field."
"'Good, brother, got Try the nulla
before you venture into the middle of
it lest it he too strong for you," said
Rama.
"And wait there for a time," added
the Jemadar. "If he do cot arrive be-
fore night thou canst bring some flour
and ghee and sugar from the Patel;
for if we are to watch here ill night
we had need to eat, and II must make
some 'bread; but if the man comes;
',ring hien on—he will be well mount-
--ed and will not fear the milks, and
thou canst invent something about go-
ing back to Ailuncl on urgent busi-
ess.
"Trust me for that, Jemadar. If I
have an ugly face I .can speak soft
words when I choose, and I know
enough of the camp language to make
him understand. Now, I am going."
So saying, he doubled the blanket in
a peculiar manner, so as to form a
cloak, threw it over his head and
shoulders, and folded.the sides tightly
about him; then taking off his sand-
als, which lie carried in his hand, he
strode away in the rain, as rapidly as
the mud w5ould admit.
"Take care of the .thorns in the lane
near the village; put on your sandals
there: we can't have you troubling us
with a Babool thorn in your foot,"
shouted the Jemadar.
Lukal3mnun turned • round and nod-
ded assent. and continued as before.
They watched him silently till hedis-
appeared. over the brow of the entin-
ence,when ,Ranna said to his compan-
ion, "What if they have sent the lean
on by the other road, or warned him,
Temad'ar?" There was another road
which passed abort half a mile to the
south' of where they sat.
"He dare not, Rama; by his soul
he dare not," replied the Jemadar,
with flashing eyes and distended nos-
trils "Do you think he would dare
my unc'le's vengeance? does lie wish
his cattle to be harried by char
Singh, and his village burnt?"
"Perhaps not; and it would he like-
ly enough to happen, ''Jemadar, said
Rama, laughing; "and, I suppose.' we
should have to come to do it. "'But
what is to be done with the man?—
That?'' and he pointedly' significantly
to the old well with his thumb;
"O no, Rama," returned the other,
laughing in his turn, ""Nothing of
that kind, aolw. The ,main himself is
precious, why, the 'uncle knows, and
some snore of them, though .they have
not told rte; I only hope he will not
make a fight of it and get hurt."
"Thea we could not 'help it' of
course, Jemad'ar,"
"No, `indeed, friend, But we are
three to one, and he is only a Mutsud-
dee-after all—na't a man of war—he
will be -quiet enough, I dare say."
"Well, if I -am to say the truth,
Maharaj, I ant glad of it," returned
Rania. 'It is all very well to kill
people in fair foray, or if anybody
will fight in a Durora, one's blood is
up, anal it does not matter, but some-
how or other, the last affair here was
not agreeable, and ever since I have
not liked the place at night. We need
not add to the people that lie yonder"
and he pointed over his shoulder to a
'corner of the tree, "unless, indeed, it
to be, then of course we 'can't help

" It is six e'oss, by ourrecloon'ing

'which, in the toss you are accts-

"'A'nd you recommend the longest

'''W'ell, sir, itsis as 300 please: You.

as we shall call 111111 ;"four more at

and se the less the 'better. Let me see;

"Certainly," replied the old nen;

yourself at the temple -ort the hill, un-

the clouds, now deepening into fringes
of black here and there; "`you had'bet-

"No, Bawa, I must go on; and if It
rains I can't help it. But about the

pose .there are spirits and devils in it
as: usual; and, to say. the truth, I am
not afraid of there. A yuan that al-
ways lives anitong soldiers, you know,

"Indeed," returned the Byragee

Many,' ask then to send y'ou by the
south road; it's—it's the best, and
some bad places are avoided. But here
is the Patel," he added as that func-
tionary, emerging from his doorway
opposite, with a striped blanket over
his head and shoulders, saluted the
Lally ni-ith a loud `"Nuniascar Mahar-
aj 1" "He will direct the guide him-
self, Lallajee, which will insure a
•a speedy and safe journey."
'They folowed the Patel through the
village, which, under the ,steadily in-
creasing rain; looked sufficiently
wretched to deter any one from stay-
ing, who had' not urgent necessity for
doing so. This was not the Latta' pre-
dicament; and he now unfastened a
large thick felt travelling cloak from
the pommel of his cloth saddle, and
put it over his 'Bead, and wrapped it

'which were protected by long, ,soft,

and cackle. Some cattle, stood to-

'houses, a heavy steam from their nos-
trils ascending .into the thiek air, aucl

A stout serving -mann, was holding a
powerfut grey horse, which, well, if
not handsomely, caparisoned, stood
neighing loudly before the door of an
ordinary house in .the stain street of
9nrroori, a small village nearly mid-
way ,between the towns; of Kullianee
and Allti•nd; _ as a person within, evi-
dently of a superior class, was gird-
ing up his waist with a shawl, and
otherwise preparing, himself for a
day's journey. Of middle stature, thin
but well proportioned, with a light
baneboo-.colored complexion of a pale
east, and a slight h'a'bitual stoop; the
man .scented unaccustomed to rough
exertion; and the sword he had just
fastened to his waistbelt, along with
an ivory- handled poniard and knife,
was apparently more for ornament
than for arse—such a one as Wright be
used. at court, or by a boy,—not the
weapon of a soldier.
The man's Tace was clean shaven,
except a long moustache, which
drooped very much at the carmers,
and the features were by no means ill-
favored. A first glance ,showed an ex-
pression of much intelligence, mingl-
ed however as you looked further,
with much cunning. The eyes were
small, deep-set under bushy eyebrows
and of a light grey; the nose high and
aquiline, but broad across the nostrils,
and hung over the moustache in a
peculiar manner; the forehead was
wrinkled into furrows by habitual el-
evation of the eyebrows; and, :s far
as the upper part of the face was con-
cerned, it had an appearance of firm-
ness, which the lower portion belied;
for the mouth, drawn up at the corn-
ers in a constant and apparently hyp-
ocritical attempt to smile, was evict.
eptly periforniatg an office foreign to
its intention; and the chin, which sud-
denly retreated into a somewhat bony
throat, had no character but decided
weakness, if not, indeed actual cow-
ardice and deceit. Thus, the whole
features wore a restless, suspicious
look, which most likely was a true in-
dicationof the possessor's 'mind.

of the Dekhan, 'but had served for the

sent from Delhi to his uncle, who was
in the Emperor's service; and, having
given proofs of ability as a Persian
scholar, he had been- appointed to a
confidential situation about the Em-
peror himself, What use the Latta
had made of his position will appear
hereafter, asalso why he now under-
took a long journey alone, in a
