beings Long he pondered as to
how to dispose OF the drug. and
then called he to his assistance
one Mish Nayree formerly en-
ployed in the collection of
duties whose head was as
long as his body in the art
OF surreptitiously evading those
very duties he had once assisted
in collecting. The two planned
that on that very night the long
one should come under the stern
of the vessel in boat and signal
by throwing two specimens of the
Irish tuber on board on which
the metallician should lower
those hundreds caskats of brass
filed with the drug into the boat.
and the long one should convey
the same secretly to the shore
and dispose of it, Earnest mon
ey of twenty-five chekels was
passed out and the bargain con-
cluded. That night the deed
was consummated, and the long
one might have been seen wend-

spot assigned to the butchers of
the city. But the Grand Multi

the city and met the long one as
he reached the shore with his
precious burden. The two ar

for said he, if / meet the Metalli-
clan and tell him this, he will
say to me, it is the yarn of the
Cock and the male Cow, and he
will hold me up to his associates
as one of those who live by steal
ing the property of others. Yet.
necessity finally compelled
him to appear on the spot. And

vas not angry or inclined
TO use hard words but court
sously treated him and invited
lim to enter his quarters where
hey could be private and he pass
ID him one hundred shekels of
he country the moiety of the
previously agreed on price for
anding the drug. Now did the
ong one begin to excuse and
4ccuse himself for that he had
lot the drug and to swear by all
he gods that he had been VOL
ntly deforced of it in the man

rise the metallician did the
GLOWING tale unfold. Know
