"Yacob, said the American, "your
donkey shall be hired as much as any
other, but hereafter his name must be
Prince of Wales"
The American had certificate
drawn up and sworn TO before the
American Consul in Cairo, TO show
that the Prince of Wales had, without
any doubt, mounted Yacob's donkey;
and when the lad wanted to hire the
animal TO any man, woman or child
from England, all he had to do was TO
show this certificate, and they
straightway engaged him, notwith.
standing his moping gait and stiff legs.
They engagedi him for whole days,
f0ndled him, and begged Yacob not TO
poke him up too sharp from behind,
They fed him with whatever he
would eat, and the only drawback TO
the d0nkey's pleasant life was that his
tail was plucked good deal for me-
mentoes.
Yaeob said, and says still, that the
luckiest day Of his life was when he
