CHAPTER VIII.

Thus sat the princess, presenting
herself with every available reason
that could favor her in her resolution,
when Abba came in. with quick
B step and flushed cheek.
MY mistress" she said, when she
had assured herself that they were
alone, there is a man in the garden
who wishes to speak with you"
"A mani" cried Ulin.
He says it is a case of life or
'death-of life or death to an individ-
ual and of life or death TO a city"
pursued the bondmaiden, without no.
fining the interruption. HE gained
entrance to the garden, and has been
searching for the lady Ulin. He did
not tell me his name; but know that
he was with the robbers at the Pal
ace OF the Valley, and he says lie is
friend of Julian. II you will see him
now, can conduct him up without
danger of discovery"
In mercy's name Abba, what mean
you?" The princess trembled like an
aspen. What can he want with me?"
Il think he is an honest man, my
lady; and think you had better see
him only speak my own feelings"
Does he say that Julian sent him"
asked Ulin, trembling more violently
ms that name fell from her lips.
Julian did not send him." replied
Abba; and yet he comes in behalf of
Julian. ] think the noble young chief
tain is in danger, and this man hopes
that you may be able to render some
assistance"
Indeed, Abba, must not do such
thing 1t would not be proper. I
must not do 1t. What is the robber
ehieftain to me?"
I know not Of a verify, my lady,
that such is the mans hope; but l do
know that he prays most earnestly to
see you. Yet, If you will not see him,
I will carry to him your word"
What will he do If l refuse?"
"He will go away, and trouble you
no more"
Are you sure of this, Albia?'
Il am. my lady. He babe me say
unto you that you should act your own
pleasure. He urges no claim, and will

When the princess was alone, she
'trembled beneath the weight of the
new thought that had been wrought
upon her. Flight was something that
had not made its way to her mind be-
fore, but now that it had been present
ed. she could not dismiss it. She had
revealed her whole feeling, so far as
the king was concerned in her speech
to Abba. There may have been other
springs within her soul which she did
not then dare to touch; but in her own
soul, unsupported and uninfluenced by
other causes than such as spring from
reason and reflection, had grown fear
of Horam, and a terror of being his
wife She had dreamed of poor Helena
until the dead queen seemed almost
an attendant spirit upon her, sent to
warn her. The night passed, and the
day came; and she had resolved that
she would not marry with the old king
IL she could avoid it. When Abba
came, and asked her what she had de-
termined such was the purport of her
answer,
But" said the bondmaiden. there
is but one way in which the sacrifice
can be avoided. Are you ready to
fiee?"
Not yet-not yet Abba. Wait
through the day"
In the afternoon the king made a
visit to the house of his prime minis
ter and spent a short time with Ulin.
He never looked more repulsive. He
was loud in his words of love, and
made the announcement that fortune
had turned full in his favor. 1t was
evident enough that he had been tax
ing more wine than usual. When he
went away, Ulin sank down upon a
low stool, and buried her face in her
hands.
Abba" she said, when she felt like
speaking Il can bear no more. I would
rather die than give myself to that
man. If should die, my father would
lose me; but If | fee from Damascus,
may at some time return to him. II
you can prepare for leaving the city, l
will accompany you this very night"
The bondmaiden promised that she
wsfttngr 70 wasteytime IN useless words,
abe went forth to search for the help
abe needed.
Evening came, and Ulin had not
shrunk back from the decision she
had made. There were two reasons
why her home had not power to win
her back from her resolve. The death
OF her mother had taken away the
brightest part of that home; and, fur
thermore, its character Of home was
soon to be changed if she remained.
1t could not be her home any more.

1T seemed like dream to Ulin.
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arose-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was it possible
that member of the robber band had
been to see. her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion of Julian's
seeking her for aid in behalf of the
chieftain? She was trying to make
it appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned
The door was closed, and Abba re-
marked as she took seat:
He will be in the garden two hours
past midnight my lady and if we
speedily as possible"
Help" repeated Ulin, gazing into
her attendants face. "How can we
help Julian?'
"The thing may be possible" replied
Abba, in thoughtful mood. IF you
would serve him, think a way can
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected a few mo-
ments, and then said:
"If the man who was here spoke
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. can very easily
see how the powerful robber band,
moved to desperation by the death of
their beloved leader, might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, If we can be the
means of averting so dire a calamity,
1t is our duty-so to do"
Il think it is" added Abba.
But" continued Ulin, elf Julian Is
in the powerTof the king, he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him?" ~
II can think of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden, laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have hand in guarding him. judge
so from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case If the
kings officers had known it. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude of
this Osmir, and | think he is, by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom we found faint and
dying upon the shore of the lake. and
who must have died If we had not
nursed him. You remember the cir
eumstance?"
"He had almost been killed by some
slaves Of Aleppo." explained Abba.
ITO be contlnued.)

put away some feeIAag OF very diff
ferent character. The lieutenant evil,
IDENTIFY read her nature, for he prof.
eeeded earnestly:
DO not misunderstood me, lady.
Were the work simply to set Julian
free, l should not have visited you.
The work would give into your hands
is the salvation of Damascus. II our
master is Slain by the king this city
must suffer terribly. The vengeance of
those who love the chieftain will be
dreadful If Julian falls beneath the
sword Of the kings executioner, his
followers will draw more blood from
the life of this people than Polypses
drew when he ravaged the city of the
northern plain. To save all this, no
BILE princess. can you not help me? Is
there not some way in which you can
remove the bolt from the door of the
chieftains prison-house?"
Ulin was trembling more violently
than before.
. 20, sir" she cried, giving full scope
now to her feelings, you find me
powerless to help you. l have not
the influence which you ascribe to me.
If I had the power, I would not hest
tate If l were the iailer, and held
the keys of the prison door, would
set your master free; but, alas! / am
more weak than you imagine. 1 am
more like prisoner than like a prin-
cess!" tt
At this juncture the bondmaiden
arose from her seat and moved for
ward. Her dark eyes sparkled with
peculiar fire, pnd her fair brow worked
as though balm were revolving
Dear ladR she said, addressing
her mistress, sthere is but one way in
which we ch render the assurance
which this nan seeks"
Speak, Alba" said Ulin, betraying
suddenness of emotion which told
very plainly how her desire ran,
