multi the I1brse had oecasioned was now
over, and the troop passed on; but as the,
black had become friend, there was nd
opposition to Karabeg's accompanying
Zelca fur,her-they soon became init
mate, and when they parted, each felt the
pleasure of the others company too much
not TO regret it. Already zelica knew
Karabeg's history; his father was the Ca
di, and he--her iouer. They had arrived
at portico; Karabeg was entering

again Zelica sighed, and removing her
veil, intentionally no,O, her eyes beamed
hope on Karabeg's passion, while her lips
thanked him for his gallantry! They
had both vanished, yet he remained some
time on the spot, expecting, though Zellca
might not re-appear, to see Mesroud, but
in vain!
The house in which Bakarak resided,

Stars, for Zelica soon appeared, but
alas! his pleasure lasted not long, as she
motioned him TO begone. "Oh, sweet Ze-
lica, | cannot live in your absence. p
"You can't, heyw cried voice, "then you
must die in her presence, for If you stay
disturbing people with your nonsense, you
will certainly be killed." Twas Baka-
rak at lower easement who said this, and
Karabeg now comprehended why his mis-
,ress warned him away. "Oh Sir" said
he, "if you knew me better" "By Mo-
BANNED! but it strikes me, | know you
pretty well already! Are not you the son
Of old Mustapha the Cadi, who had me
punished for throwing a slipper at him?'
iNow the truth was, Bakarak had one
night been breaking the laws of the pro-
phet, by indulgingin a little wine, which
caused such revolution in his head (not
the strongest at any time) that seeing Mus
tapha pass, in his way home, he must
needs quarrel with him, and giving him a
, gentle saIutation on the cheek with his
slipper, wounded him so deeply, that he
was under the necessity OF giving Musta-
pha sum of money to compromise the al
, fair, as had trial ensued, and Bakarak's
r rrailty been made public, no power could
have protected him from the consequence
/ of such henous crime. "You may tell
