In obedience to the wish of Umsuka, his
father. the conversion of Nodweugo was
kept secret. and yet-none knew how-the
truth leaked out. Soon the women in their
huts and the soldiers by their watchfires
whispered it in each others ears that he
who was appointed to be their future ruler
had become the servant of the unknown
God; that he had forsworn war and all the
delights of men; that he would take but
one, wife, and appear before the army, not
in the uniform of a General, but clad in a
white robe, and carry, not the broad spear,
but a cross of wood. Swiftly the strange

one day, when he was reviewing a regi-

openly insulted the Prince, calling him a
coward, who worshipped a coward.
Now men held their breaths, waiting to
see this fool led away to die by the torture
of the ant heap or some other dreadful doom.
But the Prince only answered:
Soldier, you are drunk, therefore l for
give you your words. Whether He whom
you blaspheme will forgive you | know not.

The warriors stared and murmured, for
by those words, Willingly or unwittingly,
their General had confessed his faith, and
that day they made ribald songs about him
in the camp. But when on the morrow they
learned how that the man whom the Prince
had spared had been seized by a lion and
taken away, as he sat with his companions
in the bivouac, his mouth full of Boosting
of his own courage In offering insult to the
Prince and the new faith, then they looked
at each other askancc and said little more
of the matter. Doubtless it was chance, ana
yet this Spirit whom the Messenger preached
was one of whom it seemed wisest not to
speak lightly.
