like Lama, she was about to resume her
ancient shs?e. and slip ou, of sigh, through
some hole IN the ruined walls. One ofthe
dances was sort of pantomime. which
she and Bakhita, accompanied with their
voces-clcar, shrill. ringing tones. Which
never faltered for moment or varied a
hairs breadth from the harmony, while
every muscle was agirsted with the ex
ertion other movements. The song was
pervaded with strange, passionate trcm.
oLo, unlike anything ever heard before.
The burden was: II am alone; my fam
ily and my friends are all dead; the pls aee
has destroyed them. Come. then. to me.
and be my beloved. for have no other 70
love me- Her features exhibited n ,jn
sular mixture of The abandonment Of grief
and the l"nging Of love. While her body
swa.ed TO and fro with tie Wild. sad
rhythm of the words. SHE raised both arms
before her tllthe long sleeves fill lack
and covered her face; then opening them
IN wistiul entreaty, sang the last line of,
the chorus. and bringing her hands to her
forehead; relapsed into grief again Ap.
paren'iy the prayer Is answered. for the
concluding movement expresses delirious
Joy.
We listened TO the music and looked
on the dancers for more than two hours,
but at length the twsnging Of the violin
and the neverendlng drum-,humps began
to set our teeth on dge. and We uuloIded
our cFamped legs and got down from the
d'van. The lantern was unswung. ,he

the AlmelIs received their fees and were
off rejoicing. and we left the chambers of
