Khaleefeh sewed for himself a pocket
within the border of his vest, and tied the
hundred pieces of gold IN purse and put
it in his pocket. He then went forth and
cast in his net, but there came up in it
naught. And he wandered along the
bank casting in his net and drawing it
forth empty until he was half day's
journey from the city. Then he said:
will cast it but once more. So he threw
the net with such violence that the purse
containing the hundred pieces of gold,
flew from his bosom and was cast into the
depth of the river. Upon this he threw
down the net, and stripping off his clothes
Owed after the purse. He ceased not to
dive and come up again until his strength
was exhausted, but he found not that
purse. Then he came up on the bank and
found his net, his staff and his basket, but
found not his clothes. So he wrapped
himself in the net, and taking the basket
upon his head and the staff In his hand
he went trotting along like stray camel
running to the right and the left, with
disheveled hair and dust-colored, like the
refractory Effreet, when let loose from
Suleyman's prison. Such was the case OF
khaleefeh the fisherman.
Now, Haroun Er Raschid, Prince of the
Faithful. rode that day in the chase ac
companied by Jaafer El-Barmakee, his
Wezeer. And as they rode they were
overtaken by excessive thirst. Then Er

Raschiu, casting his eyes about, saw
figure running back and forth in the dis
tance, and said: o Jaafer, dost thou see
what | see? And the Wezeer answered:
/ see a distant object family appearing
upon high mound, and it is probably the
keeper of a garden. who doubtless has
water by him. And Haroun Err Raschid
said: My mule is feeter than thine. Do
thou remain here on account of the troops
while ride forward and obtain water of
this person and return. SO he urged his
mule forward to where Khaleefeh the
fisherman, ran back and forth, his body
encased in the net. Er Raschid saluted
state of rage and his breath would have
kindled fires. And Er Raschid
said to him: man, hast thou any
water by theef Khaleefeh replied:
Art thou mad or blind? Go
to the river Tigris, for it is
behind this mound. So Ell Raschid went
to the river and drank and watered his
thine occupation? Khaleefeh replied:
Verify, this question is more wonderful
than the question respecting the
water. Dost thou not see the ap-
paratus of my occupation upon my
shoulder? Err Raschid said: 1t SEEM
eth that thou art fisherman, but
where is thy jubbeh, and where is thy
where are thv clothes?
Now, these were the names OF the gar
ments that Khaleefeh had lost, and when
he heard them he concluded that Err
Raschid had stolen his clothing. and he
rushed down upon him like the binding
lightning, and seized the reins of his mule
ana demanded of him his clothes. And
he would have beaten him; but Er Raschid
pulled off his long vest of satin and gave it
to him, promising to bring him his cloth
ing in little while. And Khaleefeh put it
on, and it was too long; so with the knife
which was attached to his basket he cut it
off at the knees, saying, My clothes were
better than this variegated cloak. Now,
the Prince of the Faithful had large
cheeks and small mouth, wherefore
Khaleefeh said to him: Probably thine
occupation is that of singer or a piper,
and he looked toward Er Raschid and
said: By Allah! conjure thee. O piper,
that thou inform me what is the amount
of thy wages which thy master giveth
thee each month for the art of piping
and Er Raschid replied: My wages every
month are ten pieces of gold. Upon this
Khaleefeh said: By Allah! I gain that
sum every day. Dost thou desire to be

art of fishing and be partner with thee in

repaired to the river TIgris and cast the
net. And he pulled it forth full of fish of
all kinds, and there came to him purchas-
ers until he had sold his fish for ten pieces
of gold. And he ceased not to catch fish
every day, and sell them for ten pieces of
had amassed hundred pieces of gold.
Now, one night, as he sat in his cham
Der, he said to himself: o Khaleefeh, all
the people know that thou art poor man,
and there have come to thy possession a
hundred pieces of gold. Now, doubtless,
the Prince of the Faithful will hear thy
story, and probably he will be in need of
wealth and will send to thee and demand
of thee certain number of pieces Of gold
as loan. Then will / say, Prince OF the
Faithful: am poor man, and he who
informed thee that l had hundred pieces
OF gold hath lied to thee, and they are not
in my possession. And he will deliver me
to the Walee, saying: Strip him of his
clothing and torture him with beating that
he may confess, and may bring the hun
dred pieces of gold that are in his pos
session. Therefore the right opinion that
will save me from this EN- mbarrassing pre-
dicament is this: | will arise Immediately
and torture myself with the whips that
may be accustomed to the beating. So he
arose and took whip which he had with
him. And he had also pillow of leather,
that pillow and one upon his back, saying:
All! ah By Allah! this is false. asser-
ton. o, my lord 1 am poor man and a
fisherman, and have not in my possession
aught of worldly goods.
And when the people of the quarter heard
Khaleefeh torturing himslf, and the fall
ing of the blows, making a noise in the
night, they said What is the matter with
this poor man? And they imagined that
robbers had descended upon him and they
came from their lodgings and, finding his
door looked, they assembled to the roofs and
descended to his chamber through the
memrak "a kind of small lantern for the
admission of air In the roof of a chamber)
and saw him with bare back, torturing
himself, and said: What aileth thee, O
K haleefeh? And he said: Know, o peo-
pie, that / have acquired some pieces of
gold and l fear that the Prince of the
Faithful, will require them of me, and
when 1 deny, that he will torture me,
wherefore | am torturing myself, in order
that torture may be habitual to me, to
prepare for what may come. And the
merchants laughed at him and said:
Leave off these actions. May Goo not
bless thee, nor thy pieces of gold, for thou
hast disquieted our night.
And Oh the morrow, fearing robbers,

people that | have been often surprised to
see exhibitions of bravery in unlocked for
quarters. There is a man who used to
live In Marion. Ohio, who has the index
finger of his right hand missing, and if
asked the manner of its loss will simply say
that he lost it in the Civil War. The story OF
the affair is peculiar, though am told that
there are instances of the same nature that
have occurred. He was married few
months when the call for volunteers was
issued, and he yearned to respond to his
country's invitation. His wife put her
foot down at once, and said that he should
not go. Two months passed, and as the
stories came from the front of the roaring
of cannon and of blood being split, VIII
lam for that was his name, vowed that he
would go to the scene of battle. One night
his wife saw him get up in his sleep, and,
putting himself in heroic attitude, ex-
tend his hand as though it clutched a
sword, and cry, 'Forwardp This preyed
on her mind so that the night asterward
she asked him if he fully intended to join
the army. He replied emphatically that
he did.
"That night when William slept she
arose and with stealthy step and deter
mined look took hatchet from under the
bed and came to the side of her sleeping
husband She noted the calmness of his
countenance and bent and kissed his fore
head as a tear coursed down her cheek.
Then she took the index finger of his right
hand, and, separating it from the Others,
laid it upon the side rail and brought the
hatchet down with such force as to sever
the digit. William awoke, and what he
said is not recorded, but he was made OF
sterner stuff than his better half thought.
When the smoke of battle rolled upon the
field of Bull Run and Union hearts beat
wildly at the first great encounter, the
martial sound of Williams drum urged on
to glory many an Ohio man. He could
not handle musket, but he went tc

with it, saying, Exalted be the perfection
of God! And he walked to the end OF the
market, when he again remembered the
charge of the ape. So he returned, and
threw down the gold, and the Jew said:
What aiieth thee, khaleefeh? Then
Khaleefeh said: desire nothing save that
thou give me back peoples fish. And he
said: What price dOst thou desire for thy
fish? And he replied: will sell it not,
save for two sayings. Now, when the Jew
heard the mention of two sayings he i'm
agined nothing save that khaleefeh meant
that he could have the fish only upon his
renouncing his religion and becoming a
Muslin. Therefore, he was filled with
anger, and called upon his pages to beat
the fisherman, and they did so, until he
fell down beneath the shop. Then they
left him, ana the Jew was touched with
compassion, for he was OF the people OF
benevolence, and he said: Tell me the
price of this fish and | will give it thee,
for thou hast not obtained good of me
on this occasion. imagine that thou
desireSt me to become Mus
lin. Khaleefeh replied: By Allah!
If thou become Muslin it will not profit
the Muslims, nor will it inju lure the Jews;
and if thou remaineSt in thine intdelity il
Mill not iniure the Muslims nor will it
profit the Jews; but desire of thee that
thou wiltrise upon thy feet and say: Opeo-
pie of the market, bear witness that have
exchanged my ape for the ape of Khaleefeh
the fisherman, and my good luck in the
world for his good luck, and my good for
tune for his good fortune. And the Jew
SAID, If this be thy desire it is to me
easy, and be arose TO his feet and said
Khaleefeh had told him, and said, Hast
thou aught more 10 demand of me? And
Khaleefeh said, No. And the Jew said,
Go in peace. So Khaleefeh arose imme

the gain. Alight now from the ass, which
will be of use to us, and l will teach thee
the art of fishing Immediately. So Er
Raschid dismounted and tucked up his
skirts, and Khaleefeh said to him: O piper,
take this net so, and hold it upon thine
arm SO, and cast it into the Tigris. And
Er Raschid fortified his heart and did as
Khaleefeh told him. He cast in the net
and together they drew it forth, and 10! it
was full of all kinds of fish. Upon this
Khaleefeh said to Tr Raschid: By Allah!
o piper, verify thou art an ugly fellow, but
when thou shalt have labored at fishing
thou wilt be an excellent fisherman. Now
mount thine ass ana go to the market and
bring two great baskets, and | will guard
the fish until thou shalt return, and then
thee and | will repair to the market and
sell them Hasten. then, and delay not.
And Err Raschid said: | hear and obey.
He left him and the fish, and urged on his
mule, being in state OF the utmost Joy.
And when Jaafer saw him returning with
out the water he SAID Probably the Prince
of the Faithful hath found pleasant gar
den, and hath diverted himself in it, alone.
And Err Raschid laughed and told him of
his encounter with Khaleefeh and said: |
have caught great quantity of fish, and
they are on the bank of the river, with
my teacher, Khaleefeh, and 1 am to re-
turn with two great baskets. Then he and
L are 10 60 Luo udIheI anu sell the llSll
and divide the price. And he added: By
my pure forefathers, to every one who
bringeth ME fish from those that are be-
fore Khaleefeh, who taught me the art of
fishing, l will give piece of gold. The
crier therefore proclaimed this to the
troops, and the memlooks went forth to
where Khaleefeh was waiting for the
Prince of the Faithful to bring two great
baskets, and 10! the soldiers pounced upon
him like eagles anJ took the fish from him,
fighting among each other for their pos
session. So Khaleefeh said: No doubt
these are of the fish of paradise! Then
taking two fish in each hand he descended
into the water to his throat and began to
saw: O Allah! let thy servant, the piper,
nv partner come. And then came the
chief of the black slaves from the palace,
but the fish were all gone, save those that
were in the hands of Khaleefeh as he
stood in the water, and these Khaleefeh
would not sell until the slave threatened
b i'm with the mace, when he threw them
to him, and the black slave would have
paid him, but found not single piece of
silver. so he said: Verify, fisherman, thy
fortune is unlucky, for | have not with me
anv money. But come thou to the palace
on the morrow and ask for the Eunuch
Sandal and / will repay thee.
SO upon this khaleefeh said: Verify,
this day is blessed, and it's blessing was
apparent from it's commencement! Then
he took his net upon his shoulder and
walked on until he entered Baghdad and
walked along its streets.
