How light her step, how bright her eye,

passed along the streets amid the burning OF
sacrificial papers, beating Of gongs and the
other customary demonstrations OF sorrow.
One Of the crew walked in front carrying the
burial permit After the funeral the party

tribe, and so never goes out OF the village
alone for fear he should be shot foar the blood

married a man OF Hotti, and It was consid-
cred a splendid match, as that tribe is the
most powerful in the great mountains and
takes the post of honor III time of war.
About u year after the marriage the hus
band repudiated his bride aud sent her home,
giving no reason for the outrage, but merely
saying he was not going TO keep the woman
any longer Such insult was not to be
tolerated; SO my host and his brother, seeing
that there was no chance of obtaining for
their sister the restitution OF her rights,
looked out for an opportunity of killing their
brother-In-aw
