Neither the next day, nor ever again
was there heard the sound Of his voice
echofng through the Tartar castle, except
FAR, far off, drifting frem the hillside with
the fati-end OF q %riotous, c~arefree song
and as the weeks passed. and never a sign
of him, fear and anguish grew la Umteyra's
soul until there came a night when she
sobbed out loud in an agony OF despair
that shook her from head to foot.
IL was at supper time. She was sitting
across from her cousin. while Habeebab
was b~ustling about with steaming platters
OF rice and curried mutton.
Uzhek Khan Kaydar rose. He walked
around the table. He put his fat, clumsy,
gentle hand upon Umteyra's shoulder. His
heart was filled with love and pity. But
he could not think OF anything to saw. He
might have said a dozen things to her
stilted, extravagant, old fashioned-in an
sorrow.
He turned when he heard Habeebah's
gruff voice:
BE pleased to go away. o my master
What good are men in time of trouble q
She took the weeping girl to her room.
She went on In the same gruff voice "Be
quiet, little Tartar cat Hey What Is the
matter, O Quite Useless? Are you CRYING
because OF that tramp-that vagabond-
that hound of the wilderness? Allah A fine
thing IL Is to redden your nose-nor such

She paled when Umteyra s0hbed out the
full tale of her shame and despair.
But she spoke with the same sort OF
negligent. passi0nless f~erocity And what
Of that? Why are you ashamed. small fool
1t Is the way of God-the way of nature

old woman. but winter will end. Spring
will come back-and spring always brings
the riddle OF new lips to kiss"
So for many months the clansmen were
seen no longer about the castle, and Musa
Khan had almost forgotten them, had al
most forgotten the wilderness. For there
were so many tales to tell and songs to
sing-to the Tartar. who would laugh and
clap his hands and toss him purses filled
with clanking silver rupees. and other
tales to tell and other songs to sing-to
Umteyra, who would look at him starry
eyed.

Again his eyes met Umteyra's; and a few

melody:

The song finished, suddenly, on a high,
quayery note. The Tartar applauded VIC

Habeebah broke into c~ackling laughter
laughter repeated, reverberating, bloating

turned to Musa with a question:

Musa -of-the- Seven-Goats, called by that
name, because of having stolen seven
goats. He, as his father, before him, was
a daredevil, ignoring law. and living in
the wilderness with a number of reck-
less followers, making their living by
hunting, fishing and stealing. He was
a clever fellow In his wild way. He very
readily amused uzbek Khan Haydar, who
was a rich and mob Tartar, and one day
when In the village was asked to com
and live in his mansion. Seeing Umteyra a
cousin of the tartar, who was living with
him, he decided to give up his wild life
and come to amuse the tartar.
