A Charming Little Story,

In the tribe Of Neggdeh, there was a horse
whose fame was spread far and near, and a
Bedouin Of another tribe, by name Daher,
desired extremely to possess it. Having Of
ferred in vain for it his camels and his whole
wealth, be hit ut length upon the following
device, by which he hoped to gain the object
Of his desire. he resolved to stain his face
with the juice of an herb, te clothe himself
in rags, 10 tie his legs and neck together, 50
as to appear like a lame beggar. Thus
equipped, he went to Naber, the owner Of
tho horse, who he knew was to pass that
way, When he saw Nabsr approaching on
his beautiful steed, he cried out in q weak
voice, II am a poor stranger; for three
days 1 have been unable TO move from this
spot to seek for food. l an dying, help me,
and Heaven will reward you" The Be.
douin kindly offered 10 take him up on his
horse and carry him home; but the rogue
replied, wcannot rise have no strength
left" Naber touched with pity, dismount-
ed, led his horse to the spot, and with great
difficulty, set the seeming beggar on its
back. But no sooner did Daher feel himself
in the saddle, than he set spurs to the horse,
and galloped of, calling out, as he did so,
Tits, ], Daher. l have got the horse, and
an of with it." Naber called after him to
stop and listen. Certain of not being pur-
sued, he turned, and halted at a short dis
tance from Naber, who was armed with a
spear. You have taken my horse" said
the latter "Since Heaven has willed it, |
wish you Joy Of it; but do conjure you
never to toll any one how you obtained it ii
"And why not% said Daher. Because"
said the noble Arab, another man might
be really iii, and men would fear to help
him. Hou Would be the cause of many re.
fusing 10 perform an act Of charity, for fear |
Of being duped ss have been" Struck |
with shame at these words, Daher was silent
for moment, then springing from tho |
horse, returned is to its owner, embracing
him! Naber made him accompany him to
his tent, where they spent few days togeth.
