And when he was out of sight I took the range of his marks. and, by St. Theckla. they pointed straight to a path which led down the mountain to the ford in the great river that is opposite the old turkeycock‘s konak.” “But you may have mistaken the man.” suggested Amesa. “Not I, sire. I know his head as well as a bull knows a red rag, and his duck legs and his walk like an am- bling horse.” “It is he,” submitted Amwa. “But how know you that the girl was there in the hamlet?” “Did I not see her. my noble Amesa? And could I not know her from the look of her father?

The great stream wound through the broad low- lands ot Tsetinie, girdled with rocky hills. Emerging from a tortuous chan- nel, through which the river twisted it- self like a vast shining serpent, they came to a cluster of houses that nes- tled in a gorge. These houses were made of stone and so covered with vines as to be hardly distinguishable from the dense shrubbery that clamber- ed over the rocks about them. , 4;.) Lâ€" 6kg “Silence!” cried Amesa in a sudden burst of rage. “How dare you amide to my uncle's death without my bid- There was a pause for a few mo- ments, during which Amesa stamped heavily upon the stone pavement of the court as he walked like one en- deavoring to shake on from his person some noisome thing that troubled him. The man resumed: “Besides. the children of the village said she was a stray kid there and not of kin to anybody. And while I was there the same stump headed fellow who marked the direction came to the hamlet.” CHAPTER XVI. HE lake of Scutari lay like an immense lapis lazuli within its setting of mountains, which on the east were golden with the rays of the declining sun and on the west enameled in emerald with the dense shadows their summits dropped upon them. Had there been watchers on the fortress of Obod. which lay on the cliff just above where the Tsernoye- vitcha enters the lake, they would have espied a light shallop gliding along the eastern bank. This contained the voi- vode Amesa and his attendant. Just at nightfall they reached the cavern, whose hidden recesses begot a hundred legends which the weird shadows of the cave clothed in forms as fantastic as their own. Amesa and his compan- ion were courageous, but discretion led them to wind the strooka about their heads and seek without a couch of pine needles between the enormous roots of the trees which had dropped them; , L “Be ready to accompany me tomor- row, Dmkul. You can say that we are scouting.” cu VIVL any _..7, Amesa was warmly greeted by the stargeshina who occupied the konak, or principal house. The older people re- membered the visitor as the comely lad who before the return of George Castriot was almost the only male rep- resentative of that noble family left in the land. The voivode was honored with every evidence that the villagers felt themselves complimented by the visit of their guest whatever business or caprice might have brought him thither. - 7â€"_ -uaaoa {n wuuca. A simple repast was provided, in which the courtesy of the service on the part of the stargeshina more than compensated any poverty in the disâ€" play of viands.‘At the meal the glories of Castriot and.

Amesa gave a puzzled look toward Draknl, who was eating his meal at a little distance, but whose ears seemed to prick up like those of a horse at this. description. “it is likely that he may be again in the village this very night. Our neighbor next lodged him. I will ask him if he will return," said the star- geshina, leaving the konak for a little. v “It is be. It‘s Constantine,” said Drakul, coming nearer to Amesa. “The wily young devil is ready to betray your Uncle George. That will make the matter easier." “The way is clear. then,” replied Amesa. “I am glad that the raid was but a week since a young Albanian Passed through this border country Whispering everywhere that the land was ready to cry Amesa’s name rather than the reformed renegade.

A shout from above them attracted their attention to a merry company which was coming down the mountain. 7 “_.I_!_ W usua- â€"~ v' It was the procession of the Dodola. Drought threatened to destroy the scanty grain growing in the narrow valleys and the vines on the terraces cut out of the steep hills. According to an ancient custom, a young maiden had been taken by her companions into the woods, stripped of her usual garments and reclothed in the leaves and flowers of the endangered vegeta- tion. Long grasses and stalks of grain matted in many toms about net and served as a base for artistic decoration with every variety of floral beauty. The Dodola thus appeared as the im- floral nature athirst for the vivifying rains. Her attendants, who led her in a leash of roses, chanted the refrain of which was a man. who. since he brought were The maidens mg a verse of their hymn at each cottage, and at the re- min the housewife? poured upon the head of the leaf clad Dodola a cup or water, repeating the last line or the chorus. “Good St. Elias. so send the rain!” ' . . As the Dodola paused before the ho"- nak Ameaa said, quite enthusiastically and (1m to be overheard by. the hit 3111 who took the part of tun-sting ._-â€"..

The distant murmur of .s coming shower confirmed the crednlity of the peasants. . “Yes. soon the Holy Virgin will turn her bright glances upon us,” said he. looking at them. “Who is that wild dove who acts the Dodola 1‘" inquired Amesa. “The one I told you of, who has come into our neighbor’s cot." replied the old man. “But only the sharp eyes of the crows saw where she came from. Did she not speak our tongue and know our ways as well as any of us I should say she was one of the gypsies who were driven out or the morning land by Ti- mour. Yet it may be that her own story is true. She says she had two lovers in her village, and these two were brothers in God, who had taken the vow before heaven and St. John to help and never to hinder each other in whatever adventure of love or brig- andage at cost of limb or life. But as the hot blood or neither of these lovers could endure to see this nymph in the arms of the other it was deter- mined that she should he slain by the hand of both rather than that the sacred brotherhood should be broken. By her own fatherfs hearth the two A L-â€" daggers were struck together at her heart, but the strong arms of the slayers collided, and both blows glanced. She escaped and fled and came hither.” “And you believe this story ?" asked Amesa, with a look of incrednlity min- gled with triumph, as of one who knew more than the narrator.

But"â€" He shook his head. “:Does not the young stranger you spoke of know something of her, that he prowls about this neighborhood?" “It may be. I had not thought it. but it may well be. Hist!” The Dodola passed by, returning to her own cottage. As she did so her bright black eyes glanced coquettishiy at the stranger from beneath her disar- ranged chapiet of flowers and dishevel- ed hair. She soon returned. having assumed her garments as a peasant maid, but with evident eflort to make this simple attire set 01! the great nat- ural beauty of race and form. of which she was fully conscious. Her forehead was too low. but Pygmalion could not have chiseled a brow and temples upon which glossy black ringlets clus- tered more bewitchingly. Her eyes flashed too cold 8 firelight to give one sciousgéss or being gazed at approv- ingly by the coyrtly stranger. But the ,L ____‘ AL-‘ Anna -4 w- -, pretty toss or her head showed that the blush was due as much to the con- ceit or her beauty as to bashfulness. As she talked with the other maidens she glanced furtively toward the door of the konak, where Amesa sat. The young voivode foresaw that it would not be diiiicult to entice the girl her- self to be the chief agent in any plan he might have for her abduction. He needed, however. to make more certain of her identity with the object or his search. He could discern no trace of Mara de Streesee in her face, much less in her manner. Since Dra- kui had suggested it, he imagined a re- semblance to De Streeses himself, whose hearing was haughty and his temperamentiierv. The evening brought the young man of whom the stargeshina had spoken. His resemblance to the description given him of Constantine left no doubt in Amesa’s mind of his being the mys- terious custodian of the heir-as to his estates. The young Servian he sup- posed would at once recognize him as ire- _‘L A-..- d‘ the impression of great amiabiliq in their possessor.

It were best. then. thought Amesa. to boldly confront him. winhlmifpossibletohisservicefif not, destroy him. The young stranger was at once on frolicsome terms with the village girls and lads, and Ameea thought he ob- served that through it all the fellow kept a sharp if not a suspicious eye upon him. ' Lest he should escape. the voivode invited him to walk beyond the houses or the village. When out at sight and hearing he suddenly turned upon the young man and. laying as hand upon his shoulder. exclaimed: “You are known, man!" Upon the instant the stranger was transformed from the sauntering peas- ant into a gladiator, with feet firmly planted. the left hand raised as a shield and the right grasping s ystnghan which had been concealed upon his person. Amesa. though the aggressor. was thrown upon the defensive and was compelled to rebut in order to gain time for the grip of his weapon. The two men stood glaring into each other’s eyes as them each to read ht- antagonist’s movement before his hand began to execute it.
