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

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

on the hill with no ono to protect hor

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

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.

"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

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

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.
