AN ARABIAN STORY.

In the trib OF Neggdeh there was a
horse whose fame was spread far and
near, and Bedouin OF another tribe, by
the name of Daher, desired extremely to
possess il, Having offered In vain for II
his camels and hls whole wealth, be hit at
length upon the following device, by
which he hoped to gain the object of his
desire. lie resolved to stain bis face
with the juice Of an herb, TO clothe him
self with rags, to tic bis legs and neck to-
gether 90 as to appear like a lame beggar.
Thus equipped, he went to place
where he knew that Nsber, the owner Of
horse was to pass. When he saw Naber
approaching on his beautiful steed, he
cried in weak voice;
am poor stranger; for three days
have been unable to move from this
spot to seek for food / am dying help
me and Heaven will reward you.
The Bedouin kindly olerod TO take him
up on his horse and carry him home; but
the rogue replied:
! cannot rise for have no strength
left.
Nsber, touched with pity, dismounted,
led bis horse to the spot, and with great
di diiiiculty, set the seeming beggar upon
its back.
No sooner did Daher feel himself In the
saddle than he set spurs to the horse aud
galloped off, calling out as he did so;
II is ], Dsher. have got the horse,
and am or with it. Nsber called after
him to stop and listen. Certain of not
being pursued, he turned aud halted at a
short distance from Naber who was arm
ed with spear.
You have taken my horse, said the lat
ter. Since Heaven has willed 1t, ] wish
you joy Of il; but do copjure yon never
tell any one how you obtained it.
And why not? said Dsher.
Because, said the noble Arab, another
man might be really III, aud men would
fear to help him. You would be the
cause Of many refusing to perform an act
Of charity, for fear Of being duped as ]
have been.
Struck with shame at these words, Da-
her WAS silent for moment, then spring
lug from the horse, returned il 10 the
owner, embracing him. Naber made
him accompany him TO bis tent, where
they spent days to gether, and became
fast friends for life.
