[Copyright, 1890, by the Author.] OHAPTEK I. It was a strange and singularly impressive rccuo. All tho houses of tho very ancient Dravidian village were il laminated more or le^s by earl hen vessels containing oil and wick. Not only did these lights bring out into relief against tho growing darkness the outlines of the various buildings, but they had been placed, with that patient, painstaking and indifference to individual labor peculiar to Asia, in the clefts of trees. They lighted up the great banyan tree, the special pride of this Tamil or Dravidian region, for it was a tree of more than 1,000 trunks, sent down from tho enormous branches, covering acres and forming a sort of natural sylvan temple, and they were to he seen glowing uini(l the fragrant flowers of its tamarinds that shaded tlio bungalow of Sahib Knrney, llio indigo planter, and some of these lamps were oven shining out starlike from the distant hilltops and shedding a tit fill light over the dull bluish green and pale red flowers of his indigo plantation. Far on the right, too, the lamps brought intostrong relief the stately gopurams, or towers, at the entrance of a temple, all covered with strange and grotesque figures, and presently came a burst of fireworks, followed by another and another, which for an instant brought us the whole landscape into clear view, showing here and there natives in their picturesque white dresses, and then fading abruptly into gloom, lighted only by the many twinkling starlike lamps. In a word, it was the depavali, or feast of light, and it had brought many strangers into Tirunainalli, which, though hut an insignificant speck 011 even the trigonometrical survey of India, was in its own estimation a place of infinite importance, boasting some of tlio grandest and holiest of temples and the most devout. worshipers in all southern India. In tho veranda, smoking and reclining on low cane sofalike chairs, were two Europeans?Charles Korney and David Ross, his partner. "Do you know, Ross," said tho former, "I'm sorry I let my sister goon this foolish errand. I had no idea this ieast was duo or that it would bring in suoh a swarm of fanatics. " Tho speaker was a man of about HO, with a narrow, upright forehead, a straight lined month and a general aspect of arithmotio and business in every lineament. "Foolish errand!" replied his partner. "Would you ho quite prepared to say as much to Miss Lilian herself?" Ross was a great contrast to his companion, with his broad, open, genial countenaneo, warm, expressive eyes, and good tempered mouth and chin. "I don't know," rejoined Karney, smiling coldly, "hut it's foolish all tho same. Hero am I toiling in this beastly climate, to say nothing of the visitation to tho boiler house, whore we Is-at up the indigo, while she dispenses tho product among soiuo of the biggest rascals and greatest wretches in tho univorso.'' "Sonio of tho products," corrected tho other. "Don't exaggerate, whatever you do.'' "Too much, anyhow," was the reply. And Karney went on: "I can't divine how all this folly began. Why should not Lilian he liko other young ladies in this plaeo? What are the people to her or sho to them?" Robh smoked 011 without replying. Ho locked rather fixedly at his friend and partner, hut said nothing. After awhile, however, I10 asked, "Of course, she did not go alone?" "Oh, no. Nnsiban went with her." Ross struck tho table at his elbow and mado the glasses on it rattle, and then in an ordinary tono asked, "And where is it, pray, and for how long?" "Oh, it's only to that horrible bud hi beyond tho hill?thero, where you see those throo confounded heathen lights. Sho's boon making a fuss about wanting to seo her ustardin's face?her teacher, you know?and sent a message that sho could not die happy unless tho mem sahib went up. Why. invdearfol low, what's tho matter with you to_ .m' night? There's nothing to niako a bother about. When Julian is hero, who does nothing but funs about grace and prayer and doctrines until I'm sick of tho very m name of religion. " It "It were well if yon and I had a little of hor goodness. But haven't you W heard tho news yot?" 1' "What news?" "Why, simply this: Somo of tho loading Hindoos have hold what they onll a dhiu- in Kofar and have been discussing how they can best got rid of all this obnoxious teaching. Haven't you hoard that one had boldly said that no matter what happens they must get rid of tho mom sahib, and that if a man was handed in such a cause?aro you listening, Charles Karney??ho would bo but a martyr. Do you know that your sister belioves that 0110 of her converts, Sofcthjanadhan, has boon poisoned, and yet? good Cod?in tho face of all this yon let your sister go up to that old woman on the hill with no ono to protect hor better than Nasiban. Charles Karney, I'm ashamed of you!" And Hons sprang up, knocking down tho tablo, and pa cod tho veranda in a Btato of groat excitement. Karuey seemed to tako this very coolly. llo started a little when tho other rose up so abruptly, but now be only smiled softly, showing a beautiful set of white teeth, and murmured: "My dear follow, don't play tho royal Bongal tijs'or, pray. Don't lash up your noble r: e and quarrel with your prosaio and .aetieal partner. What can I do wit 1 uch a sister? Aui I to pauperize mys*.( and rob you of your till are and place myself within the pule of the criminal law because I happen to have a romantic, beautiful, fusoirmting Mister, who insists 011 carrying out lit* rally the gospel? Just think. It's all very fine to plunge into heroics, but 1 rather think you joined 1110 to grow indigo aud to prepare that haerchantahle artiole in a profitable way. Eh?" Koss had cooled down a littlo. He was impulsive, hut he had a dread of ridicule, especially before this exasperating, cool, calculating man, whom nothing seemed oapablo of rousing out of a cold, selfish imiifToronoo. He once more Hank into his seat and lit a fresh Cigar. "That's right." observed Karnev. 1 Lrajgl J :|jjM.. ' '0 t. f "Wow bo n sensible follow. When you joined me, you told mo you wanted money, and I took you into the concern because 1 knew you understood how to vat. ferment and run oil the stuff. You certainly never said you wanted to turn missionary and preach to the scum of this benighted place like my misguided sister. Houni, indeed! Do you think men like that Jtrahman, Prohrada, who called on us yesterday are likely to be converted?" And Karncy foil back on his couch and luughcd a little, low laugh. CHAPTER II. Never were brother and sister more unlike, morally and physically, than Lilian and Charles Karncy. Left orphans with equal fortunes, Charles Karncy had been advised to try indigo planting, nun iir muuceu iiih sister to accompany him to India, sho being desirous to originate a zenana mission and full of true and genuine enthusiasm for the propagation of Christianity in India. In truth, Charles hud behaved with somo deception toward his sister, who was as guileless as she was good. IIo persuaded her to lend him her portion, and thereby ho had boon enabled to procure his plantation, and ho for his own part wnH resolved to make a fortune. To this end ho abandoned all idea of marrying yet awhile, or of amusing himself in the style of most members of his class. Ho had taken Ross, a cool, clear bonded young Scotchman, and his little capital into the concern, in return for somo twelfth of the net. prollfs and a vast amount of special skill that young Ross had somehow acquired in the preparation of indigo for markets, the process being in some respects quite as delicato and involving as much uninterrupted attention as brewing. When Rohh took up his residence on the plantation, ho simply thought at flrHt that Karney was rathe: a cold, selfish sort of fellow, who -i.4-. entirely absorbed in practicing all Kinds of economies, and that his lovely sister was a visionary, impracticable and somewhat eccentric sort, of young lady. Hho certainly did press her brother 011 the suhjoofc of saying "grace before meat." and would remind him how his Hindoo neighbors novcr failed to light up camphor in the evening before the pictures in their houses of Rama or Krishna and to decorate them with fresh llowers. "And shall we," she would ask, "hit. ourselves bo outdone by heathens and idolaters?" Then there was a continual conflict botwoeu brother and sister 011 tho nubjeotof money. Lilian, her brother declared, whh always making demands on him on account of hor protogos around, and ho ufllrmod that nil tho beggars, hypocrites and rasonls, male and female, of the locality pretended to listen to her preaching because they knew that by doing so they would be free to her purse. Everybody who has lived in India intimately among the people knows what a curse and scourge debt is to the masses. Tho native of India, it has been aptly said, is always in debt, and marriages and funerals alike are terriblo sources of pecuniary trouble, and when it was found that the mem sahib at the bungalow of Sahibs Karney and Koss was easily persuaded to aid anyone who would listen to her preaching and receive her tracts it was certain that thero was some truth in Karney's complaints as to his sister being often viotiinizod by impostors. Of late, however, Ross, who was shrewd enough, had drawn sundry conclusions of his own which were not much to tho glory and praise of his partner. lie was not at this period himself what could bo called a religious man. In truth, he was of tho type of tho average prudent, moderately clover, steady, tempornto, hardworking young man of the day, anxious, like so many more, to make money, and with very vague notions as to what ho should do with it when made, but although ho did not always agreo with Miss Karney's profession and praoticos ho had eomo insensibly under tho spell of her influence, of her gentleness, her sincerity and unending sympathies, and ho felt that were ho her brother it would bo difficult indeed to refuse her aught sho asked in tho name of charity and Christian love. CHAPTER III. If ever there was a living embodiment of sympathy on this earth, it was certainly to be found in Lilian Karney. alio sympathized up to a certain point with her selfish brother and made allowaneo for him and his shortcomings which ho dreamed not of. Of horself she hardly over thought at all, and she ?n.i as unconscious or nor personal charms as the nightingale is of its vocal sweetness. She was in truth one of those self forgetting beings who live nioro in tho life of those about them than in their own, and siio did good so far as her powors permitted without premeditation or effort. When her brother had wondered how site, a lady refined and intellectual, could bring herself to eomo in contact with tho wretched, ignorant beings, old women, hideous and ragged, and often anything but ngroenhio to tho olfactory sense, owing to tho ghoo wherewith they woro often anointed, sho simply looked astonished, and only answered that all siio had ever thought about was their souls. In fact, Charles Karnoy, who would not havo orossed tho road to save a native from drowning, except for public opinion, satisfied such conscience as he had by saying thut no doubt his sister enjoyed what she did. Why, then, should he interfere with her pleasures? Her money was in his factory, and all no had to do was to tako care that she drew as little from him as possible. Accompanied only by Nasihan, who generally for mad Lilian's bodyguard on these missions of mercy, Lilian was now rapidly traversing some ricefields, on her way to tho Hindoo woman who had expressed so earnest a desire to 000 tier, and as sho presses on it is easy to perceive that sho is no common mortal. Lilian was of tho middle height, singularly fair and delicate of skin, with a somewhat aquiline profile that lost in softness what it suggested in force. Her | hair was golden, and her oyn, of warm, sympathetic brown, reflected tho innate kindness of her nature. In order the more readily to obtain admission into the houses of tho pcoplo Lilian, greatly to her brother's annoyance, had adopted tho costume of the country to some extent, wearing over her ordinary clothing a silk cloth about 12 yards long and a yard or two wide, one end guthercd in folds held to the left side and t.tui other end wound round tho H. Ax. * ? y waist and brought up over thn right shoulder mid down t ho loft Hide, where, being tucked in, it fell down the front in graceful fold*. Lilian wore silk somewhat against her inclination, as site wore fine gold bangle* on her arms, but she found certain advantages in being well dressed, she said, and a facility thence in gaining tlio car of those who othorwiso might hove refused her an audience. The Hindoo woman sho was visiting hud long niiico accepted her as an ustardin, or teacher, ami would soon, Lilian believed, boeomo formally a Christian. Ou approaching tho houso, therefore, h1io wuh surprised to see outsido a young Hindoo femnlo stooping down at tho threshold and tracing white linos with (lour?a charm, alio well knew, intended to ward otT evil. This woman had Rineared her faeo and Huch part of her body as was uncovered with a solution of saffron and water to make herself look "fair." This was one of tho superstitious rites from which Lilian had, slie imagined, quito woaned her friends. The houso was built of sun dried clay bricks, whitewashed with chunum and having inside tho entrance the usual room with a pial, or raised alcove, on each side for receiving visitors. Lilian, followed by Nasiban, went in, tho Hindoo woman outsido simply saying that they could enter. There seemed, Lilian thought, something very strange about tho plaeo that day, but she was anxious to seo her friend and hurried to the portion of tho houso set apart for females. Sho went in, and then, inured as she was to much that is trying and startling, she stood for a moment petrified. Before her, on an evident bier, in a half sitting posture and covered with bedclothes, sho beheld her late pupil with the fatal ground rioo and betel showing between her lips, and on her forehead tint tridontmark of Vishnu. Lilian knew well these sectarian mnrks made with sandalwood pasto and used to denote what god is worshiped by tho person who bears them. Her face flushed with a righteous indignation. She exclaimed in Tamil, "Who has dared to do this?" and stepping forward took her handkerchief and erased the symbol of idolatry. Then, taking some of tin* pasto that she perceived in a jar close by, sho made a oross on tin* brow of the dead woman, in the impulse of that passionato moment. hardly thinkiiur what she was doing. Whilo thus engaged a man, trending inaudibly on his shoeless font and wearing the snored throud hanging from lii? left shoulder to the right sido, stole softLilian, followed hy Naslban, went in. ly in, and as Lilian drew hark confronted hor, asking in a low but poouliar tone, "Why havo you done this?" "Jieeauso sho is Christ's," was tlio spontaneous reply, and tlio fenrloHS and yet kind, eon.no monnte eyes met his with a pow< r mat ho felt though ho would not yield to it. "She is Vishnu's," ho replied, and this time his voico was harsh and threatening. "Had she lived," rejoined Lilinn, "she would have been baptized. You know that sho had loarnod to abhor your monstrous creeds and unbearable cruelties. You havo no rinht to mark her with your iilol signs." "Tho mem sahib," said tbo Brahman grnvoly, "Is unjust and illogioul. Did you not tench your pupil that the hand of (ho Lord your God was all mighty and that his eyes see everywhere? Well, where is tho difYorenco in what you call our idols? You say there is no salvation without faith, hut wo have faith too. Why do you come here to vex our people and make thorn die, ns this woman died, in despair?" Lilian had encountered this Brahman before, Ho was Prohrada and had done more than any other native in that place to destroy the influence of hor missionary efforts among them. She looked at bim resolutely. "You mean," sho said, "by dying miserably in despair that she did not dio in your hideous medley of conflicting creeds. Lot tho work of Christ stay. Evil will certainly befall whoever dares to rcmovo it." Lilian drew herself up and looked doflantly at the Brahman, tho more so as she know that he would not pollute himself by touching a corpse, hut tho next moment ulie felt a kind of sickness come ovor her. Was it some emanation from tho bier or was it tho strange, fell, intensely penetrating eye of Prohrada? Never had sho seen such eyes as his before, never had she dreamed that human eyos oonld emit such a concentrated malignity and power of evil, never had sho seen a man's eyes no like those of I tho dread rnhr? ki?o imlf fn ? - and then was obliged to look again, and again bIio felt siek and wenk. Thoso eyes shot out innguotio rays that fasoi* nated her as the snako fascinates tho bird. Prohrada remained silent, then liis eyos strangely altered. Tlioy shrank up into their usual sly character, resembling two small black heads with only a trace of thoso latent fires which had seemed to scorch her very brain, llo spoke as before gravely: "Tho mem sahib is bravo, but not very kind or polito to our gods. I say sho will oonio to our temple, and I sny sho will worship there, and I say, too, that sho will offer up to Vishnu all the wealth that Sahib Karuoy, her brother, has taken from her. Oh, don't think that wo poor Brahmans aro ignorant idiots, that we know nothing. Christians! Why, in this country it is held impious to live in a street without a temple, but how many of your streets havo temples? Christians!" And with that word, uttorcd in an intopsely contemptuous toue, Probracki left Lilian wliero she stood, lor thotirst time in all her experience of missionary work among tho natives thoroughly unnerved and frightened at sho knew not what. Returning to the bungalow, Lilian had encountered Boss. Ho perceived at once that something had happened, and although she was not as a rule given to speak of her own personal adventures, she little by little communicated the incident of her encounter with tho Brahman. Boss felt and looked serious. "Bear Lilian," ho said?"let me so address you?hclievo mo, I sympathize completely with all you do and desire. I know how hard you find it to live with your brother, and I know how utterly single minded you are, but you must not run Into peril. Yours is a life too precious to bo exposed to (lunger. You must not think that I um given up to worldly euro us if life hud nothing else. It is not so long sinco I thought what can it avail to convert even a few hundred out of thesocountless millions? I tliink and fool differently now. Wo have individually only individuals to consider, and I had meant to work and help you, but you must lot mo protect you as?as your brother would if ho woro only myself." RoM felt and looked awkward ns bo got out theso words, but Lilian reoolved thorn in all simplicity, and rightly held them as sincoro, which they woro. She gave Ross her hand frankly and welcomed him as another helper on her side, and ho felt within his secret self that now at all ovents to touch on the lovo he felt for this self denying girl so entirely absorbed in others would bo a sort of profanity. No, ho must work, hopo und wait. (CONCLUDED NKXT WEEK.) Tutt's Pills Cure AH V 2 HI ? Liver ins. Twenty Years Proof.
