Dervish rose to the height of his argument
of soul what time that terrible man came
to recognize his only son by the seal IN
guise of griffin pricked on Sohrab's arm.
The effect on the audience of this histrionic
display was an eloquent commentary on
Persian character in the raw. The naib OF
the caravanserai, wrought TO loosen the
strings of his purse, relented slowly or MS
nonofficial generosity and gave the bag a
shake by way of a round of applause ere
he shed sympathetic ear In tribute 10
Sohrabs untimely death. A muleteer,
scarce less moved, putting his hand into his
money bag, drew out a copper coin, turned
1T over slowly, eyed the Dervish with moist
eyes. then, restoring the coin TO its place
of safety thrust the bag into his pocket.
The other muleteer followed suit Then a
sigh OF relief arose over the luminous plain.
Only the peasants remained calm, greeting
the narrative of Rustum's despair with de-
risive cries Of "Ajab!' (wonderful) Pom

of humans in silver coins. He did not pick
up the money at once. He rather stayed TO
relate how Rustum having mourned his
sons death, laid him in the fruitful eartn

bones, and planted over all far-seen Pill
Then, STOPPING to the silver coins in the
dust he rose again in his wrath and feii

of bread. which they laid at the feet of
the Dervish. But the peasants murmure1
and said: do we SOW the seed that thou
shouldst reap the grain?" And the Dervish:
not a whit appeased by the offering. asked
for more. Bread is good" he said, but
what is bread without eggs; and what are
eggs without tea?' When these things had
been brought to him he opened his mouth
and said: Here, indeed. Is food for one
person. but would we that father should
eat his fill while his son went hungry to
bed? What We have given TO me give We
in like measure to my son, who Is even now
in the caravanserat. and then he shall sing
to you in voice so sweet and so alluring
that the very nightingales will come and
settle on his head" And the men in the
inches obeyed: after which the son. mere
STRIPPING, came out and sang his plaintive
song in a voice so shrill and so strident
that the very birds Of the air sought refuge
In flight. Then night fell slowly over the
solemn waste. and the Persians. turning
their backs on the sun whom their ances-
tors had worshipped. fell on their knees In
prayer and bowed their foreheads 10 the

Hark, The rafting roll of the musketeers
And the ruffied drums. and the rallying cheers,
And the rifles burn with keen desire
Like the cracking whips of a hemIock fire.
And the singing shot and the shriekng shell
And the splintered fire on the shattered he'll
And the great white breaths of the cannon smoke
AS the growing guns by batteries spoke;
And the ragged gaps in the walls of blue
Where the iron surge rolled heavily through,
That the colonel builds with a breath again
AS he cleayes the din with his CLOSE I'D, men,
And the groan torn out from the blackened lips
And the prayer doled slow with the crimsoned

And the troopers SIT In their saddles all

And they watch the whiri from their breathless

And their spurs are close to the horses tanks.
And the fingers work OF the saber hand
Oh 70 bid them live. and TO make them grand!
And the bugle sounds TO the charge at last
And away they plunge, and the front is passed!

rather a dangerous experiment. II is one
of the charms that the study of philosophy
can boast that its theories need not be car

blameless. And so the philosopher as such
is perfectly harmless-as harmless even as

brought out by the reapportfOnment by
Republicans in congress under the new
