Posyovitz was too well acquainted with the
hardy emperor's habits to be surprised at his
order; and without question of any kind, he
hastened away to obey it. In the mean time
Nicholas wrote out a few necessearydirections
for his ministers; and haling folded and seal-

CHAPTER XIX.
THE FLIGHT.
It was toward the close of the day,
and Salim had just left Myrrha's side, where
he had spent an hour in conversation. The
week was drawing to a close, and the time
was nigh at hand when the Moslem counted
upon the possession of the most beautiful wife
within the city. After h3 had gone, Fatima
came to the maiden's feet, and sat down
upon her cushion. She looked: very sober
and could not have been 'far from un-
happy, for she had again heard Selimn's
words of _ love bestowed upon another,
and her heart had again been pained. But
Myrrha did notspeak, as usual, She R as silent,
and her eyes were filled with tears. Fatima,
looked up in surprise.
"What has happened?" she asked.
"Nothing nothing," returned Myrrha. "I
am only thoughtful, and•I,was thinking how
much of gratitude I owed,to you. I always
weep when I feel very grateful."
"Then you must love me," whispered. Fatima,
raising herself to the lounge, and throwing
her arms around her companion's neck.
" Indeed I do love you," fervently re-
sponded Myrrha, returning the warm
embrace. " I shall never forget to pray for
you, foryou have been very kind to me."
" And I mean to be kind!" cried the wife,
forgetting all her own sorrows now. "I
shall always be land. Oh, I wish Salim had
two hearts, two fouls."
e But you forget that I have a heart—a
soul—that is all mine—one that beats truly
for me," whispered Myrrha.
"Yes—I did forget," murmured _ Fatima,
bowing her head. "But your charm," added
she, looking up with a quick expression, "will
that do as you thought? Have you tried it
Wit?"
"Not. wholly. To -morrow I will tell you
how it works; but to -night I must have to
myself. To -night, Fatima, ere I lay me down
to sleep, I shall know both your fate and
"You are sure of that?'
"I think so. Come to my room in the
morning., and yogi shall know."
"I will come; and if you sleep, I shall awake
you."
:"I thinly you will not find me asleep, for
my anxiety will be equal to your curiosity."
"Ah, Myrrha, it is not all curiosity. I too
am anxious. I hope we may all be happy.
You said you would not harm—but 1 am not
suspicious. I trust you, Myrrha."
i reetaetwo girls embraced each other,
and at the end othalf an hour they separated.
Myrrha strained the faithful Fatima to her
bosom, and kissed her many times; and when
she turned away there was a pang at her •
heart, for the thought came to her that she
had seen her sweet companion for the last
time.
It was fairly dark when Myrrha entered her
own .private room, but the attendant had
lighted the greatlamp, andthe perfumed fluid
sent forth a sweet odor as it burned. • She
pulled the bell -cord that hung near her, and
shortly afterward a eunuch looked in at the
door. She requested the attendant td send
Dido to her room. At length the old negress
made her appearance, and wished to ,knoa
the pleasure of her mistress.
At first Myrrha was so agitated by her
emotions that she had to turn away her head;
but by a powerful effort she overcame .them,
and ,she was soon calm again.
"You are not well," said Dido, whose quick
eye had detected something out of the way.
"Not very, ", returned Myrrl4a, fully
sensible of the strength she required., and
being determined to maintain it. "Not very.
My head is light. I -fear I have drunk too
much sherbet. I am not used to the drink."
"No, I suppose not," replied Dido, with a
sort of appreciative -chuckle and a smack of
the lips. "Wait till yoit have drank as much
as I have,"
"Oh, I shall soon get used to it," said
Myrrha, with a forced smile. "But I sent
for you, Dido, to know if you could perform
a mission for me."
"When?"
"This evening."
"That depends upon what it is."
"Oh, it's nothing which you could object
to, only I dib not know as you could Ieave
the ho'ise in the evening."
"Certainly, I can go and come when I
please."
"And they will not question you?"
"Nobody but Selim dares to question me."
"Then you are indeed privileged."
"Yes—if to be always on one's feet is a
privilege. But for my part, I should think
you and Fatima were the privileged ones."
"So we are -so we are," said 31yrrha, in a
tone so well assumed that no one could have
detected it.
"Yes, that you are. My soul, what an easy
life! But what is your errand?"
"Ah, yes. Do you know where to find the
Jew of whom Selim bought me?"
eyes.”
"Ob, I tidbit . I had not drank so .much of
that sherbet—but it tasted so delicious I
could not help it. -I have a mind to throw
the rest away, for it will surely tempt me to
further excess."
"What! throw away sherbet! Out upon
thee for a wasteful! . But I will not say that.
Give me the drink."
"Certainly --though I think that would be
throwing it away, for I do not think you
need it."
As Myrrha thus spoke, she lifted a miler
fir -on from the basin of the fountain, w'
`'*•g,th't it might l=
•
"Oh, 1 likealmond." ' And again Dido
raised the vesel and drank. When she had
done the flago i was empty; and having set it
down and wippol her lips, She turned toward
the maiden.
"Now, I suppose I must do your errand
out of _,pure gratitude," ' she said, with a
chuckle' of pleasure that told how well she
had enjoyed the draught.'. "But it must be
nothing out 4f the way; fbr I never deceive .
Salim."
"Of course I would ask you to do nothing
wrong," ret ed Myrrha;,, with some little
show of anxi ty. "Butd you always see
Selim when y u go out int evening?" _ '
"Oh no, a is off bef this time, drink-
ing coffee an smoking with his friends at their
cafe." '
"Then you go out very easily t"
"Yes, if th re's nothing wrong in it. Mind
that, I said if there was nothing wr—ong—in
--ah-r-r-r. y, bless mf how sleepy I am 1
What can r -r -r—"
Dido yawn and gasped and with one or
two more attempts to she rolled over
upon the floor perfectly insensible.
"So, so," murmured Mirrha, as she bent
over the prostrate woman €"the drug begins
its work. It Seoul hart Yeti, Dido. It will
only make you sleep sou y till morning.
Aye," she added, starting p, "the drug has
done ite charm, and now mes my part. Be
strong and firm, '.O my. e art,—be strong.
The way is open, and , help me to pass
through. Give me but egress here, and I can
find protection somewhere',"
Myrrha stooped down, end with a strong
hand she removed the fantastic articles of
dress with which Dile wadli clothed. One by
one she took them off, ani though the task
was a tedious one, yet - she accomplished
it, and whezt it was all done, *he com-
menced to put the quaint garments upon
herself, and by stooping a little they fitted
her well- As loon as this', was accomplished
she drew fro her bosom mask of dingy
black silk, w ch she had •fashioned herself,
and having ed it upon her face, she took
Dido'& coif of imson and white, and bound
it abut her head, taking care that her
Bair was tuck up out o sight, and that
an end of the coif was lef" en that it might
fie;p ,about her- face. whet it was all done,
she went and surveyed he , If in the mirror, -
and she fatly started at the strange
appearance sh made, Thi black mask fitted
:snugly to her ;face; and th ,ugh the features
were not like 1 lidos, yet the rest was so per-
fect that it would escape detection.
After this ihe maiden arose and moved
toward the dolor. She ops ed it and passed

gained the gallery.. At a ort distance was

but there vias a f current of
air upon her cheeks, an hope sprung

Myrrha did not remain long insensible, for

"Myrrha! Myrrha!" he cried, as he raised
her head to his lap. "Oh, lam not mistaken.
You are safe. I am here; You know me,

The maiden pronounced his name in a low
whisper, and at the sante tithe raised her arms
