q
brother, am with thee. Go to the pa
Z cha, and ask him for a large ship. In
} this ship build twelve mue shops, and
all them with more stu6B and Jewels
than are seen in All the bazars Of Con-
atantinOple. Put in these shops the
| twelve hands0mest young men Of Ser
, via, dressed like prinCes. Then set
SAIL and when the vessel stops between
, two mountains, land : thou wilt be in
the Kingdom Of the Indies. Take thy
gulEa and sing with thy companions: /:
and when the mRidens Of the town
come 70 the fountain, invite them
60 view the riches Of thy ship
make them presents; they will be
charmed with thy generosity, and will
say on returning TO town, Never was
there seen finer ship, richer treasures,
or more ObligiDg shop-keepeTs.' A w0-
man and q princess, the daughter Of the
King of the Indies, is dOnbly curious
amuBe her all day, but as soon IS night
! Wheuthe princess is on thy ship all win
not be overi she is 3 magician, and may
bring more than one danger on thy
l head. But follow my COunBelB, and
thou wilt succeed"
Saying this, the fairy approached
/ the brook which fell from the
mountain, and called 3 salmon that

I which she gave StOian. f'Take this tai.

Then raising her eyes to heaven, the
Villa Bpisd q falcon pursuing q dove
She whistled, and the two birds perch
I ed upon her shoulder. She plueked 2
I feather from the crest Of the falcon and
4 another from the wing OF the dove and
gave them to 6tOian.
''Take tho two talismRnB," said she.
'fIg ever thou art in need Of d service in
the air, cast these feathers to the wind,
and call my brother the falcon and my
sister the dove to thy aid. And now
farewell, my brother; I have exhausted /
all the secrets Of my art in thy behalf, /
and thou wilt never see me more"
StOian thanked his sister, the Villa, /
and did all that she had commanded /
him. The ship stopped between the /
Two mountains (; the maidens came to /
the fountain, listened to the songs Of /
Stoian, went on board the ship, aCcep-
ted the most beautiful presents without 1
much urging, and repeated that night 4
throughout the whole town, FGever 4
was there seen q finer ship, richer treas
ures, or more Obliging shOp-keepers."
The next day the Princess of the In
dies, followed by twelve companions,
repaired TO the shore in q magnificent /
palanquin drawn by the gentIest and /
most beautiful Of elephants. She had 4
on her shoulder little green parOquet, /
which diverted her by its cnattering.
StOian FASTENED to meet the lady, and /
did her the hOnors OF his ship ia 4
every shop were displayed the richest /
<tuffs and the r8resC jewels flashed be-
fore her eyes-rings, bracelets, neck \
laCss and diRdemB. The princess and II
Der maids were l9rlZs before a mirror
The day passed without their being able Il
to take their agtOnished and delighted /
eyes of all these wonders.
AS soon aB night fell on the sea StOian
weighed anchor and set sail. At the
fiFsL motion Of the vessel the princess
was alarmed she hastened on deck,
and taking the paTOquet on her finger,
''DeaT bird, I" said she, f'dy to my father
and tell him that strangers are carrying
of his child"
The parOquet took flight, but StoIan
Instantly hung the falcons feather in
the air, crying, my brother, the falcon,
And 10 II a black speck appeared afar
of in the heavens. It was the falcon,
which, CleaVing the air, fell on the par
oquet, and carried it to rock to de-
vOur it.
The princess looked at stoian with a
disdRinful air, and cast her ring into
the sea. The ship Instantly stopped as
though is had stranded on 9 shOal. In
vain the wind Whiztled through the
sailg-a hidden force held the vessel

stoain flung to the wind the scale Of
the salmon, crying, "6Ty brother, the
salmon, come to my RidI'
he had not done speaking when the
rich scales of huge salmon were seen
glistentng on the top Of the water. The
fsh dived and seized the ring; where
upon the vessel began to float, driven
on by the most favorable Of winds.
The princess uttered cry, and ran to
FejOin her women. But the next morn
inn at ~ Il
and said TO Stoian
''With one word can turn this ship
into stone, and thou wilt never more
behold thy country; nevertheless, if
thou wilt give me the water OF immor-
Lality, I am ready to follow thee. DosG :
thou see the rock y8nder, from which I
issues q thick smoke? There ia the
fountain, guarded by two dragons, that I

For his sole answer St0iau seized the

''To my master, the pacha,'' replied a
5tOian.
"Ahi'' said she, and dropping her &
veil over her face walked away. Dur q
ng the whole voyage she did not speak .
} word to StOian.
The news OF Stoian's return filed d
KrOUjeVatz with rejoicing. Men has @

On entering the palace where the pa u,
