A Lucky Game of Chess.

A story is told of the Moorish prince
Abul HejeS, who was thrown into prison
for sedition by his brother Muhamn,ed,
king of Granada. There he remained for
several years, until the king, fearing he
might escape, place himself at the head Of
a fresh revolt and seize the CROWN, ordered
one of his pashas to see to his immediate
execution. Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and babe him
prepare for death. The prince asked for
two hours respite, which was refused.
After earnest entreaty he obtained permits
sion to finish his game. He WAS in no
hurry about the moves, we are told, and
well for him he was not, for before an hour
had elapsed a messenger brought the news
that Muhammed had been struck dead by
apoplexy, and Abul was forthwith pro
claimed king of Granada.
1t was indeed a small favor for the pasha
to grant, but it altered the whole current
of the kings career, and it is to be hoped
that when from prisoner the latter became
ruler he possessed that quality which kings
are said not to h~ave-that of gratitude to
his unwilling preserver. II the pasha was
not suitably rewarded, then truly was Abul
Hejex an ungrateful wretch. Harper's
