THE HEROISM OF A CHILD.
It was morning. All were assembled once more in the great hall, eager for a termination of their work.
Fresh troops of men to be enrolled and branded arrived every moment.
Then came Nai Dhamaphat; the Kromathan, or overseer; and lastly the Grand Duke, followed by an army of slaves, attendants, scribes, and cup and punka bearers. As he looked about him he saw, with a gleam of satisfaction, the veiled figure seated at her post, guarded by Amazons.
After a few minutes of conversation with the scribe who sat at his side, he ordered the prisoner Rama Singalee to be brought in.
