The voices and the approaching steps of the
Master and Poytash. had alarmed Papalua
and hastily gathering up his pieces of tappa
and other articles, had fed from the pandanus
grove. And the two now approached the house
at Iviole.
The soft trade breezes now waited gently over
broad meadows ofluxuriant herbage. The wide
beds of crimson salvias, that dotted over the
plains were sparkling in the summer sun the
groves of white and pink berried artemisa,
breathed tender murmurings from the kissings of
the breeze and from the clumps of the wild
jessamine, tender odOr, waking sweet emotions
was waited into the open window of the chamber,
where the sick youth lay.
He was now eonvalescent, and partially dressed
and enveloped in a wrapper; and he reclined
on a settee propped up with pillow that was
being adjusted by pair of dainty little hands,
as the two observers approached, and glanced in
at the window.
Lajos was glancing tenderly at Kalil, as she
now knelt down by his side, and held one of his
hands clasped in her own. She was tastefully
robed in very soft muslin. few sprigs of
saliva gave striking effect to her glossy masses of
hair Her complexion now toned with the high
est ardors, was of dazzling gold and her large,
round lambent eyes spoke of the offerings of a
gushing heart of unbounded treasure.
Lajos spoke tenderly, and with impassiOned
fervor; Sweet and brave girl, you saved my |
life, and to you l owe the service of mine
But Louis " said Kalili, with slightly avert |
ed face, - this new haole (foreigner) says you
are pledged, and bound, and so you said too, to |
lady of your own land, and what can you give |
to poor me- And as she spoke, she drooped |
her face by his side.
LajOs quickly raised up her head, holding both |
cheeks between his palms-a nervous agitation |
seized him. lie seemed to struggle,-he looked |
up in agony-and speaking it were, to himself, !
said with tremulous bitterness, - 1t is past 1t |
is past And my duty is here "
- No No " shouted the impetuous Poytash
as he rushed into the chamber. 50 Here is your
duty,-loOk here, look here, my boy And
he thrust before the gaze of the startled sick
youth, a miniature portrait of a beautiful young
woman. "I would not show it you before
continued Poytash, .'on account Ofyour cold and
disiainful words. But your heart will not lie,
l see. Look Look My boy
And as Kali slid back afrighted; Poytash
standing her; he held the miniature to the
face Of the new paling and fainting youth who,
seizng it into his hands, and rising up partially,
exclaimed, in an agonized tone, % Zoe ! Zoe
Zoe . and fell back with closed eyes in the
arms of the Master.
