"And shall not always be SO? May |
not always be 500" said EveriDgton with
smile.
"Oh yes, that am not afraid to prom
ise,' she hastily replied and hid her blush
ing face in his bosom, while he gazcd on
the. lovely girl,with feeling Of tendern less
and admiration.
The time allotted for the ,obscence of
-Hamors hastened away. Noihing had ocs
Cured 10 disturb them in their sublerrane-
an abode, until the day before Hamors re
turned, when the bowling Of the jackal,
and the shrill Cry of the hyena, showed
not only that their retreat had been discov.
cred by these animals, but also from the
cries in various directions, that the earth
around them was followed out into apart
ments similar to that they occupied; and
once Coralinn was alarmed by ore ofthese
which, allured by the hope Of blood, en-
deavored to force its way through the OPEN
ing by which they had entered, but which
the vigilant precautions Of Hamors had
rendered impracticable.
The time they had awaited with so much
unxiety,at last, came. There was a.sound
of voices in the outer apartment the
blocks of stone which closed the commu-
nication between them was removed, and
Hamors, accompanied by some of his hap
py and hardy mountaineers, entered the
dungeon. Their JOY ut meeting was mu-
tual. for the unwavering faithfulness of
Hamors had endeared him both to Ever.
ington and Coralinn.
"We have oulwitted the tyrant this
time,'' said Hamors exultingly; "after ev-
cry exertion which power or ingenuity
could devise, he has been completely bat'
fled. The mystery of your escape lie has
never been able to unravel-the largest re-
wards have proved Intellectual to discover
your retreat, and the pursuit has been CIV
en- over as hopeless Once ngain on the
Hertzedera, end we are SAFE" =s.
Preparations were Immediately commenc-
ed for their removal from the retreat which
had so long afforded them security and
shelter, in which the most efficient and
cheerful aid was rendered by the mountain
associates Of Hamors
Soon they emerged from the subserrane-
'Oai
and never with such feelings OF emotion
had Everington and Coralinn beheld The
/ brigh Stars rs Ahey~rolled--along ihrsugh
the heavens over spotless gqzed or
the silver tirs Of Diana's crescent rs it sunk
behind the mo1ntains-breathed the pure
air which was filled with incense Of num-
berless fiowers-or listened to the hun,
which aghated nature sends forth even in its
most quiet and secluded retreats Ifamors
led the way through the ruins, and wte1
they emerged from them into the plain,
/ they found themselves at once in the mids,
of dozen of the mountaineers, who, with
high spirited steeds, ready for them to
mount, awaited their arrival. Not mo-
ment was lost in continuing their flight a.
cross the plain. Coralinn was mounted
on beautiful Arabian, and Eyerington
felt as if he had commenced q new exist
ence, when he found himself by her side,
rapidly leaving the crumbling fragments
of ancient Persian greatness far behind
them.
Long before morning, they found them
selves among The hills, which marked the
commencement of the mountainous region;
and when day dawned, they were safe
from pursuit, amidst its deep and inaccessi-
ble Businesses and defies. They had LEFT
Schiras and the dominions of Abbas Mira
for ever, and the brave and hosptable child
rem ofthe mountains, welcomed them with
patriachal simplicity and affection to their
rude mansions Notwithstanding the .nt-
footiopoto l-iv,Ipoe, of
impossible for Coralinn at once to break,
without emotions Of regret, the strong ties
of affection which bound her 10 her luther;
and when she remembered that she had
deserted home and friends, for stranger,
she felt that she was eEcountering fearful
hazard, and dear as Everinglon was to
her, he sometimes caught the tear swelling
in her dark eye, as these recollections
came over her young and innocent bosom.
Skilled in reading the heart, Everington
at once perceived the source of her regrets
and sympathizing with her grief, he kissed
away her tears, and vanished her fears, by
assurances of never failing love and pro
lection. Among the kind inhabitants o.
the mountain, EveriDgton thought it pru'
dent to remain but short time; for though
the country to the west of Hetzederu
scarcely owned allegiance to the Persian
crown. and the brave kurds maintained Q
tacil independence, yet his fears, added te
the counsel Of t1amors, induced him te
place himself and his beautiful Coralinn
as soon as possible, beyond the reach o
:, Abbas Mira.
AS soon, therefore, as Everington foune
himself completely restored, Disgusting
themselves as much as possible, with Ha
mors as their servant, he and CorafinD ae
, companied by several Of the natives, of thu
mountains, proceeded by the circuitou
, route of the Tigris, and Bagdad, to Busso
rah; where they arrived without molesta
ton and in safety. Here Everington foun'
} himself in possession Of funds, with which
, he compensated his kind companions from
I the Hetzedera,to the extent oftheir wishes
5 and laden with every expression Of his an
5 Coralinn's gratitude, saw them depart 70
their native homes. At Bussorah he foun
the chaplain of the English establishment
. at the gulf of Persia, and was united b.
the tenderest of ties to the blushing an
, beautiful girl who had consented to unit
!, her fortunes with his. A vessel was o.
