CHAPTER V.

'I‘mt varying thread of our story now takes us to the far-famed perfume bazaar of Constantinople. Stayl what a cloud of perfume and sweet scents burthena the sirl Here are gathered all the sweets of the fer east and waist. from the long ﬂa- con of cologne to the tiny. gilded bottles of utter- gul, the aroma of biirut spices. delicate mixtures of rose and musk, with burning pcsiles of rarest flavor and most costly ingredients. calling to mind the sweets of “Araby the blast."

Bartering for some trifling article of perfume at the bazanr, stood a young Greek. in the national dress of his people. with a short Spanish cloak of blue broadcloth thrown slightly about his shoulders, as if to protect the wearer from the night dew, which already began to full. He seemed to be less engaged. after all, with the scent-merchant than in anxiously looking about him in the expectation of meeting some other person. Anon. a female. clothed in the ample dress of white which causes all the sex to look alike in the streets of Constantino- ple, and her features so hidden as to puzzle all con-

But the page was too anxious to noises even this favourite animal. thinking that possibly Esinsh might have sent him before to herald her coming. He still gazed towards the serggiio gates. But still the bound seemed to fawn upon his master with uncommon earnestness, until the boy forward. coming aft, said : v

Her mother was still the beautiful. still the favoriltc wife of her proud consort, the sultan; but there her attraction ended.
