# The Million Pound Bank Note/Chapter II
## Chapter II

Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.
You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank. Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it. Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn't. Brother A said he couldn't offer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot. So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too. Brother A took him up. Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note. Just like an Englishman, you see; pluck to the backbone. Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to.
They saw many honest faces go by that were not intelligent enough; many that were intelligent, but not honest enough; many that were both, but the possessors were not poor enough, or, if poor enough, were not strangers. There was always a defect, until I came along; but they agreed that I filled the bill all around; so they elected me unanimously, and there I was now waiting to know why I was called in. They began to ask me questions about myself, and pretty soon they had my story. Finally they told me I would answer their purpose. I said I was sincerely glad, and asked what it was. Then one of them handed me an envelope, and said I would find the explanation inside. I was going to open it, but he said no; take it to my lodgings, and look it over carefully, and not be hasty or rash. I was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so I took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.

Though it may have ancient analogues, the earliest extant version is in the work of the 13th-century Arab writer Ibn Said. There are many eastern versions of the tale and in Europe it was included in a number of Mediaeval collections. Since then it has been frequently included in collections of Aesop's Fables as well as the influential Fables of Jean de la Fontaine." Warning: template has been deprecated.

# The Million Pound Bank Note/Chapter I
## Chapter I

When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a mining-broker's clerk in San Francisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect. My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to put it in on a little sail-boat on the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small brig which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.
About ten o'clock on the following morning, seedy and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed by a nurse-maid, tossed a luscious big pear - minus one bite - into the gutter. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved it, my whole being begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent, and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear. I was just getting desperate enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying:
"Step in here, please."
I was admitted by a gorgeous flunkey, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best I could.
# The Man With the Mole/Chapter 9
### CHAPTER IX.
#### JIM FARRELL.

I HAD to keep you out of the know, Sperry,” said Farrell later, now thoroughly identified as the head of a famous agency. “You might have tipped the thing off. As for the disguise—or the camouflage, that was easy, though Curly would have bumped me on general resemblance if you hadn’t been Johnny on the spot. I’ve got a bald head, which is handy for wigs fitting properly. As Farrell I wear one. My front teeth are bad, and when I had one bridge made, Tong ago, I had some others finished up in various style. The mole was easy, letting the whiskers sprout to make it more natural.
“You’ve helped a lot without knowing it. Of course Bess was wise. We have few secrets between us.” He grinned knowingly at Sperry.
“Now everything will be straightened out. I don’t think your stepfather damaged your mother’s property, and as for her, I took occasion to let her know by way of headquarters that her boy was no rascal, if her second husband was. Also I had the Comet tipped off to smooth matters for the climax. I fancy, from the reports, that your mother was rather relieved to have Cairns uncovered. She wants you to go to her, though I’m afraid your appearance will startle her. But I suppose you’ll not wait for a little thing like that to stop you.”
“I’m glad she knows about things,” said Sperry. “I want to see her badly, but there’s some one else I’d like to see first, if you don’t mind.”
“Who’s that?” asked Farrell, no longer the Man with the Mole, lighting a cigar.
“You’re not such a good detective, after all,” said Sperry. “It’s Elizabeth.”
“Lord bless my soul, you don’t say so?” There was a twinkle in Farrell’s eyes. “I rather fancy she’s expecting both of us to dinner. You can’t go to the Isle of Pines by railroad, Sperry, and the next steamer doesn’t sail for a couple of days. I’ve got some details to attend to. Perhaps you had better go ahead. No need to take anything but short cuts this trip, my boy.”
But Sperry was gone and Farrell laid down his cigar with a laugh.
“Not such a good detective after, all!” he said softly. “Does he think I’m blind?”

# The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)/The Mansions of the Stars

Layout 2
London: Alfred A. Knopf Ltd, pages 644–645
SÛRAH LXXXV
Al-Burûj takes its name from a word in verse 1, which I have translated "mansions of the stars." The word has the meaning of towers or mansions and is applied to the signs of the Zodiac. Verses 4 to 7 are generally taken to refer to the massacre of the Christians of Najrân in Al-Yaman by a Jewish king Dhû Nawâs, an event of great historical importance since it caused the intervention of the Negus and led to the Abyssinian supremacy in the Yaman which lasted until the War of the Elephant (Sûrah CV) in the Prophet's year of birth. Professor Horowitz thinks that the words "owners of the ditch, of the fuel-fed fire" refer not to any historical event but to the condition of all persecutors in the hereafter.
An early Meccan Sûrah.
THE MANSIONS OF THE STARS
Revealed at Mecca
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
$^1$ By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars, $^2$ And by the Promised Day. $^3$ And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony, $^4$ (Self-)destroyed were the owners of the ditch $^5$ Of the fuel-fed fire, $^6$ When they sat by it, $^7$ And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.
$^8$ They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise, $^9$ Him unto Whom, belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness. $^{10}$ Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. $^{11}$ Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success. $^{12}$ Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern. $^{13}$ Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduced, $^{14}$ And He is the Forgiving, the Loving, $^{15}$ Lord of the Throne of Glory, $^{16}$ Doer of what He will. $^{17}$ Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts $^{18}$ Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamûd? $^{19}$ Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial $^{20}$ And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them. $^{21}$ Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'ân. $^{22}$ On a guarded tablet.
* ↑ See "Islamic Culture" (Hyderabad, Deccan), April 1929.
* ↑ Or it might be: "(Self-)destroyed were the owners of the trench of fuel-fed fire (i.e. hell) when they took their ease on earth and were themselves the witnesses," etc.

# The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)/The Morning Star

Layout 2
London: Alfred A. Knopf Ltd, pages 646–647
SÛRAH LXXXVI
At-Ṭâriq takes its name from a word in verse 1. There are other meanings to the word Târiq, but I have chosen that which must have occurred to every hearer of this Sûrah, especially as in verse 3 it is stated that a star is meant. The Morning Star has here a mystic sense, and is taken to refer to the Prophet himself. Some have thought that it refers to a comet which alarmed the East about the time of the Prophet's call. Others believe that this and other introductory verses, hard to elucidate, hide scientific facts unimagined at the period of revelation, and are related to the verses following them. Ghamrâwi Bey, my collaborator in the revision of this work, informed me that the late Dr. Sidqi among others considered that the reference here is to the fertilising germ penetrating the ovary, the subject being the same as vv. 5–7.
An early Meccan Sûrah.
THE MORNING STAR
Revealed at Mecca
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
$^1$ By the heaven and the Morning Star $^2$ —Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is! $^3$ —The piercing Star! $^4$ No human soul but hath a guardian over it. $^5$ So let man consider from what he is created. $^6$ He is created from a gushing fluid $^7$ That issued from between the loins and ribs. $^8$ Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life) $^9$ On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
$^{10}$ Then will he have no might nor any helper. $^{11}$ By the heaven which giveth the returning rain, $^{12}$ And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants) $^{13}$ Lo! this (Qur'ân) is a conclusive word, $^{14}$ It is no pleasantry. $^{15}$ Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad) $^{16}$ And I plot a plot (against them). $^{17}$ So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
