As Selim gazed, he felt a sense of awe cross his mind, which to his daring soul was a pleasurable sense, though to one less adventurous, less THE KNIGHT OF THE SILVER CROSS. 75 fond of the marvellous, the scene would have been replete Avith terror. Suddenly a single light gleamed through an embrasure, high, high up in one of the old towers, and then disappeared. ' Ha !' said Selim, ' and is this the haunted palace of which the sons of Palmyra stand so much in dread ? Is it of this edifice that ...the neighboring traders in the street of palms have told so many and such wondrous tales of fearful import to the warriors of my band ? Is it from hence that groans and shrieks issue forth at the witching midnight hour, at times, and startle the chance traveller from his propriety ? Is this the scene of the wild legends which have thrilled many hearts with the spirit of adventure so often of late ? Now, Allah be praised, I shall have a chance to put my mettle to the proof, and see if these strange stories of the haunted palace of an extinct line of nobles be true.
