A poor Turkish slater, of Con-
stantinople, being at work OH the
root Of a house, lost his footing and
fell into the narrow street upon a
man who CHANGED to be passing at
the time. Ihe pedestrian was
killed by the conclusion, while the
slater escaped without material i'll
jury.
A son of the deceased caused the
slater to be arrested and taken be-
fore the Cah, where he made the
most grave charge, and claimed
ample redress.
The Cadi listened attentively,
and in the end asked the slater
what he had to say i'll his defense.
"Dispenser of justice answered
the accused, III a humble voice, sit
is even as this man says, but God
forbid that there should be evil i'll
my heart. ] am a poor man, and
know not how can make amends"
The son Of the man who had
been killed theleupon demanded
that condign punishment should be
inflicted upon the accused.
The Cadi meditated a few mo-
ments, and finally said:
sit shall be So"
Then to the slater he continued:
"Thou shalt stand in the street
where the father of this man stood
when thou dids't fall upon him."
And to the accused he added
".And thou shalt, if it so please
thee, go upon the root and fall upon
the cu.prit, even as he did fall up
on thy father. Allah is great"

But the nobleman wanted to
know more about it.
