ms attention, and it at once occurred to his
mation to Baghi Sian as to induce him to come
and examine the apartment in which he was
then sitting.
No sooner did this thought present itself to
ms mind, than Feroz took two of the long nil
1ows which were placed in the recesses, and
arranged them in that in which Anime had
been concealed, he closed the curtains upon it

present precisely the same aspect as when
