On his return from a distant and sanguinary expedition amongst the mountains against this Indian king, Colonel Drake was filled with enthusiasm for this son of Kadja-sing, known as Djalma.

"You are the son of Kadja-sing?" "Once again, what would you?" "The friend of General Simon?" "General Simon?" cried Djalma. "You are going to meet him, as you have gone every evening, since you expect his return from Sumatra?" "Yes, but how do you know all this?" said the Indian looking at the Smuggler with as much surprise as curiosity. "Is he not to land at Batavia, to-day or to-morrow?"

"To assure myself that you are really the son of Kadja-sing, and to execute the orders I have received." "From whom?" "From General Simon." "But where is he?" "When I have proof that you are Prince Djalma, I will tell you. I was informed that you would be mounted on a black mare, with a red bridle. But " "By the soul of my mother! speak what you have to say!"

"'These descendants, direct or indirect, are: "'On the mother's side, "'Rose and Blanche Simon minors. "'General Simon married, at Warsaw, a descendant of the said family. "'Francois Hardy, manufacturer at Plessis, near Paris. "'Prince Djalma, son of Kadja-sing, King of Mondi.

Djalma sprang lightly to the ground, threw the bridle to Mahal, unrolled one end of his sash, took out a silk purse, and gave it to the Smuggler, saying: "You have been faithful and obedient. Here! it is a trifle but I have no more." "Kadja-sing was rightly called the 'Father of the Generous," said the Smuggler, bowing with respect and gratitude.

"Are you sent by him?" "Perhaps," said Mahal, with a distrustful air. "But are you really the son of Kadja-sing?" "Yes, I tell you but where have you seen General Simon?" "If you are the son of Kadja-sing," resumed Mahal, continuing to regard Djalma with a suspicious eye, "what is your surname?"
