CHAPTER II.
The Girl and the Token.


In his astonishment he looked round
quickly to meet the gaze Of mischiev-
Gus eyes that strove vainly to seem
simple and sincere.
Aware that he faced an uncommon
ly pretty woman. who chose to study
him with q Straightforward interest he
was nothing loath to initiate, he took
time TO see that she was very fair
of skin, with that creamy, silken
Wilderness that goes with hair of the
shade commonly and unjustly termed
red. Her nose he thought a trace
too severely perfect in It's modelling.
but redeemed by q broad and thought
full brow, a strong yet absolutely fem
inine chin, and a mouth Well,
as to her mouth, the young mar Sc
leeted a rosebud to liken 1t to.
Having oatalogued these several
features. he had a mental portrait of
her he was not likely soon to forget.
For It's not every day that one en-
counters SO pretty a girl in the woods
OF Long Islands southern shore-or
anywhere else, for that matter. He
felt sure Of this.
But he was equally certain hat he
was as much a stranger to her as
she to him.
She, on her part, had been busy
satisfying herself that he was a very
presentable young man, In spite Of
the somewhat formidable reputation
he wore as a person Of learned attain
ments. II his looks attracted, 1t was
not because he was handsome, for
that he wasn't, but because of certain
signs of strength to be discerned In
his face, as we'll as an engaging man
ner which he owned by right of an
cestry, his a~scendants for several gen
erations having been notable repre-.
s~entatives of one of the First Families
of Virginia.
The pause which fell upon the girls
use of his name, and during which
they looked one another over, was
sufficiently prolonged to excuse the
reference to it which Amber chose to
make.
I'm sure" he said with his slow
smile, that we're satisfied we've
never met before. Aren't WEI"
Quite" assented the girl.
That only makes 1t the more mys-
terious, of course"

In the saddle a girl leaned low over
the horn--a girl with eyes rapturous.
face brilliant. lips parted in the least
OF smiles. A fold of her byack habit
skirt, whipping out, almost snapped in
Ambers face, SO close to him she
rode; yet she seemed not to see him,
and very likely did not. A splendid
sketch In black and white, of youthful
spirit and Joy Of motion; SO she pass
ed on and was gone.
Hardly, however, had the forest
closed upon the picture, ere a cry,
a heavy crashing as Of a horse thresh-
Ing about in the underbrush, and a
woman's scream of terror, sent Am
Der, in one movement. out into the
road again and running at q pace
which, had he been conscious Of it,
would have surprised him.
A short so yards separated him from
the bend In the way round which
the horse and its rider had vanished.
He had no more than gained this
point than he was obliged to pull up
sharply to avoid running into the
girl herself.
Although dismounted, she was on
her feet, and apparently uninjured.
She stood with one hand against the
trunk OF a tree, on the edge of a
small clearing wherein the axes Of
the local lumbermen had but lately
been busy. Her horse had disappear
ed; the rumble Of his hoofs, dim,nu-
endo, told the way he had gone
So much Amber comprehended in a
single glance; with a second he
sought the cause Of the accident, and
identified it with a figure so outre and
bizarre that he momcntarily and ex-
cusably questioned the testimony Of
his senses.
AT a little distance from the girl,
IN the act of addressing her. stood a
man, obese, gross abnOrmally dis
tended with luxurious and sluggish
living, as little common to the scene
as a statue of Phoebus Apollo had been.
A babu of Bengal, every inch of him,
from his dirty red-and- white turban to
his well-worn and cracked patent-leath-
er shoes. His body was enveloped in
a complete suit of emerald silk, much
soiled and faded, and grit with a
sash Of many colors, crimson pre-
dominating. His hands, fat. brown,
and not overclean, alternately 6utter-
ed apologetically and rubbed one an
other with a suggestion of extreme
urbanity; his lips, thick, sensual, and
cruel, mouthed a broken stream Of
babu-English; while his eyes, nearly
as small and quite as black as shoe
buttons-eyes f~urtive, crafty, and
co~ld-suddenly distended and became
fixed, as with amazement. at the In
slant Of Amber's appearance.
Instinctiyely, as soon as he had
mastered his initial stupefaction, Am
Der stepped forward and past the girl,
placing himself between her and this
preposterous apparition, as If to
shield her. He held himself wary and
alert, and was instant to halt the
babu when he, with the air of a dog
cringing to his masters feet for pun
ishment, would have drawn nearer
Stop right there!" Amber told him
crisply; and got for response obedi-
ence, a low salaam, and the Hindu
salutation accorded only to persons Of
high rank: "Hazoor!' But before

Not in the least. How should II"
You yourself speak Urdu"
Well, but" The situation hardly
lent itself to such q discussion; he
had the babu first to dispose Of. Am
Der resumed his cross-examination.
Who are your" he demanded. And
what is your business in this placer"
The fat yellowish-brown face was
distorted by a fugitive grimace Of
depreciation. "Hazoor. I am Behari
Lal Chatterji, solicitor. Of the Inner
Temple"
Well? And our business here?'
"HaZoor, that is for your secret

suming a certain dignity. 1T is not

should be uttered in the hearing OF
an Englishwoman. hazoor."
What are you dwelling about?" In
his blank wonder, Amber returned to
English as to a tongue mor suited to
his urgent need of forcible expression.
And, look here. you stop calling me
HaZoor.' I'm no more a hazoor than
you are-idiot!"
Nay" contended the babu ~reproach-
fully; lis 1t right that you should seek
to hoodwink me? Have l not eyes

pointed Mouthpiece of the Voice!"
Il know naught of your Voice or its
mouthpiece; but certainly you are no
child. You are either mad, or ~insolent
Or a fool to be kicked" And In ex-
ASPIRATION Amber took a step toward
the man as If to carry into effect his
implied threat.
Alarmed, the babu cringed and re-
treated a pace; then, suddenly. rails
ing an arm, indicated the girl. "Ha-
zoor!" he cried. BE Quick-the
woman faintsl" And as Amber hastily
turned, with astonishing agility the
babu sprang toward him.
Warned by his moving shadow as
much as by the girls cry, Amber leapt
aside and lifted n hand to strike; but
before he could deliver q blow 1t was
caught and a small metallic object
thrust into It. Upon this his fingers
closed instinctively. and the babu
sprang back, painting and quaking.
The Token, hazoor, the Token!"
he quavered. ut Is naught but that

staring stupidity at the man. What

Nay, hazoor; how should l tell

week, or a day, or an hour, mayhap,
l come again-for your answer. TIL
then and forever I am your slave. ha-
zoOr: the dust beneath your feet. Now
l go.
And with a haste that robbed the
courtesy Of It's grace, tho Bengal
salaamed, then wheeled square about
and, hitching his clothing round him,
made off with a celebrity surprising in
one of his tremendous bulk, striking
directly into the heart of the woods.
Amber was left to knit his brows
owe the object which had been forced
upon him so Unexpectedly.
1t proved TO be a small, cubical box
something more than an inch square,
fashioned Of bronze and deliberately
decorated with minute relief work In
the best Of ancient Indian
craftsmanship.
May I see, please?" The voice OF
the girl at his side recalled to Amber
her existence. May l see, too, please,
Mr.. Amber?" she repeated.

Tho Quaint Fern Dish,

No one would know that the fern
dish was homemade affair. It had
all the appearance Of one of those very
expensive treasures from the art de-
partment. And it cost only 10 cents.
A bundle Of round and fiat white hat
wire was used to make the basket. 1t
was simple pudding pan shape with
a double edge of plated wires. When
the substantial affair was finished it
was dipped into mixture Of plaster
Of paris thinned to the consistency OF
cream. White vinegar was used in
place Of water. Where weak places
were shown after the basket was dried
a second solution was added. When
quite dry the basket was striped with
gold paint to which a good amount Of
white varniSh was added. This
strengthened the basket and gave the
desired finish. 4 very pretty effect is
obtained with green yarnish paint and
gilt. Others stipple the white With
fecks OF silver. making something
dainty and ornamental for the break
fast table. Quaint candle shades are
made in the same style.
