which occupied the same position in
the right wing that hers did In the left.
The night, as is customary in that
climate, where the atmosphere Is pure
and the evaporation rapid, was cool and
still. BY 10 o'clock there was no
sound to indicate that any person was
aw2bc: though. to an acute ear. the
rise ana JaIi OF regular Breathing, or
even an occasional snore, might have
given evidence of slumber. At the back
of the house the Indian retainers were
Tapped in silence. They were harm
less eople,-somewhat disposed, per-
haps, to small pilferings, in an amiable
and loyal way, but incapable of any,
thing seriously criminal. Gnere were
no locks on the doors, and most Of
them stood ajar. Tramps and burglars
! were unknown.
Miriam, having put on her night
dress, stood a few minutes at her win

Of the garden. The leaves Of the plants
hung motionless; the blossoms seemed
to hush themselves to tho enjoyment

southwestern sky, and its mysteriouI
light touched Miriam's face, and cast 9
dim rectangle of radiance on the white

star Of love. Miriam thought IL would
be a pleasant place to live in. But ont

Circumstances over which she has Nd
control may cause such q world to come
into existence in girls heart.
She left the window at last, and go'
into bed, where She soon presented Al
image of perfect repose. Meanwhile
in dark corner Of the courtyard al
the rear, dark, pyramidal Object
abode without motion. It might have
been taken for heap Of blankets piled
up there. But If you examined It more
narrowly you would have detected II
it the vague outlines of q human figure
squatting on its launches, with III
head resting on its knees, and its armi
clasped around them,-somewhat ..

Of whitcness through the interstices of
the surrounding foliage, and then a
slender figure. clad in close-fitting raj
ment, entered the little circle. 1t wore
sort of tunic, reaching halfway to
the knees, and leggings of the same
soft, grayhh-white material. The
head was covered with q sort of hood,
which left only the face exposed; and
this too might be covered by a
species OF veil or mask, which,
however, was now fastened back
on the head-piece, after the manner of
. visor. The front of the tunic was
embroidered with fantastic devices in
gold thread, frightened here and there
with precious stones; and other devices
appeared on the hood. The face of this
figure was pale and calm, with great
dark eyes beneath black brows. The
stature was no greater than that of a
lad of fifteen, but the bearing was ohm.
posed and dignified. The contours of
the figure, however, even as seen by
that dim light, were those of neither a
bow nor man. The wearer of the
tunic was girl, just rounding into
womanhood, and the face was the face
Of Miriam.
Yet it was not by this name that Ka.
maiakan addressed her: After making
deep obeisance, touching hts hand to
her foot and then to his own forehead

waa peither Spanish nor such as the
modern Indians Of Mexico used.

"This singular naval promenade is

"The million pesetas required to
pay for the passage of the squadron
through the Suez canal might be
more usefully employed than in a
demonstration that alarms nobody

Camara has asked to be allowed to

Spanish fleet at Port Said, but the
Egyptian government refuses to per-
NIT the ships to coal in Egyptian wa
ters.
Pending deliberations, which are
likely to last long time, the feet

The Egyptian government has I'm
structed its authorities at Port Said
to prevent the $50 stokers, engaged
there by Admiral Camara for his
fleet, from embarking on Spanish
ships, and has courteously informed
Admiral Camara that so doing would
be an infringement of the laws of
neutrality, which Egypt intends rig
orously to observe.
The Auda's machinery requires re-
pairs and Camara has signified his
intention of remaining at Port Said
for three days.
