Gross-Gorschen, where we bivouacked, was farthest advanced in the plain, toward the Elster; Kaya was farthest off, and behind it passed the high-road from Lutzen to Leipzig. We saw no fires on the hills save those of our division; but the entire corps occupied the villages scattered in our rear, and head-quarters were at Kaya.
The gypsey tossed his head, like a young horse when some one is trying to force the bit between his teeth; his chin stiffened and an obstinate look came into his eyes. He brushed her aside: "No," he murmured, "Go away, Kaya! He is a stupid fool, can't you see? I am not half through; it is heavenly to hear him! Go go! I want to tease him some more; I tell you I will."
We have been such good comrades, you and I, and we care for one another as comrades do. If you should die or or leave me, it would break my heart you know that." "Ah, kiss me Kaya! Let me take you in my arms! Come to me and let me kiss you on your lips!" "You hurt me, Velasco, your hands are so strong! Not on the lips Velasco not on the lips! I beseech you, dear friend, I "
Come, and let me cover you with the shield and the helmet; when you feel the spear in your hand the fright will leave you. It is not like you to be afraid, Kaya. Your eyes are like a doe's! Don't be frightened, little one." She looked at him and tried to speak, but no words came.
The crackle of a leaf and they are off flying, with their muzzles high and their eyes wild. Na! I hear nothing but the wheel below grinding and squeaking, and the splash of the water." "He is coming up the stairs," cried Kaya, "Open the door for him, Marta, and let the Kapellmeister in."
"That is strange," said Kaya dreamily, "to run away from some one you love, when you can be with him night and day and never leave him! Sometimes there is a curse, and you are torn by your love, whether to go or stay. But if you love him enough, you go and that is the best love to save him from the curse and suffer yourself alone. Perhaps there was a curse."
Two of the grandchildren of the Orang Kaya were at my school at Temudok for some time. A son of Tarang, Tujoh by name, worked as my Catechist in Krian for several years. While so many Dyak Christians are most unwilling to give up all their old heathen customs, these two Christian Dyak chiefs happily took up the right attitude, in such an important matter in the eyes of the Dyaks as head-hunting.
"Leave you!" he cried, "No, Kaya, no. Come and dance." "Leave me leave me." He came nearer: "Are you still faint? Will you rest and let me come back? When? How soon?" "Leave me." He took out his watch: "Nearly midnight," he cried, "then the Duke will return. When the clock strikes, Kaya, it will be our dance. You will waltz with me then once more? As soon as the clock strikes?" "Leave me."
Kaya took the scarf from her waist and began to wind it slowly about the wound on his forehead. Her breath came in little gasps through her parted lips. "Have I your blood too on my hands, Velasco? Ah, waken and look at me! We have only a few hours more together a few hours! Then you will never see me again. Never never!" She clasped him closer to her breast and bent over him in terror.
