ing been detected and condemned to die.
happily hit upon an experiment which gave
him hope of life. He sent for his jailer
and told him that he had secret Of great
importance which he desired 10 impart to
the king, and when that had been done ha
would be prepared to die. On receiving
this piece Of intelligence the king ordered
the culprit to be conducted to his presence,
and demanded of him to know his secret
The thief replied that he knew the secret
Of causing trees to grow which would bear
fruit of pure gold. The experiment might
be easily tried. and His Majesty would
no, lose the opportunity. So, accompa-
nied BY his prime ministers, his courtiers.
and bis chief priests. he went with tho
thief to place selected near the city wall.
where the latter performed a series of SOL
emn incanta,ions. This done. the con-
demncd man produced piece Of gold, and
declared tha, if it should be planted i.
would produce tree. every branch of
which would hear gold. But" he added.

that has never been stained by dishon-
est act. My hand is not clean, therefore
I pass it to your Majesty" The king
took the piece of gold, but hesitated. =
Finally he said. Il remember in my
younger DAYS that often ilched money
from my fathers treasury which was not

priest said, "You forget: I have the COL

society that all five Of US should be hang

man can be found among us" Ia spite
of the lamcn.able exposure the. king laugh
