AN ARABS
The story of an Englishman's At
tempt to Purchase 1t.

In his "SOuyenigs dun Voyage" NJ.
Spoil describes a visit to Arabia and
the attempt of an English friend to
buy IN Arabian horse. The Englishman
was at great pains to induce the Arab
who owned the horse to agree to sell
him. He persuaded the man to make
an appointment TO conclude the sale
after employing "as much diplomacy
as would be used in a year in making
Europe"
On the e~ventful day the Englishman,
with NJ. Spoil and NJ. Lascaris, rode to
the rendezvous and found the Arab sit
ting by his horse, which was browsing
quietly.
Las salam aleik' q salute YOU, be.
gan the EnGliShmnn cautiously. what
shall l pay you for your horse?'
"Who knows?' said the Arab.
''Throw on my cloak here whatever
you offer"
Three thousand piasters fell at the
feet of the impressive Arab, then 10000,
then 10000 more. The Arabs eyes
shone. Ten thousand piasters more won
him. "Ah,' he said, going up to his
magnificent animal, 1--WE must part"
The Englishman began to bride the
horse. The Arab sobbed. Suddenly the
intelligent animal, pcrceiving his new
owner, Sprang away and neighed
m%ournfully. No n could doubt that
he knew what was going on.
With one bound the child of the des-
ert was in the saddle. "Adieu." he said.
Your money could never replace my
only friend.' And he vanished in a
cloud of dust.
"Sturid!' cried my English friend.
and hen we rode home il silence.

Seen on an Ostrich Farm,

1t is no uncommon thing to see a
male ostrich strutting about followed
by three or four distinct broods, all of
different sizes. When the incubating
process is completed, the cock bird
leads his young ones off and if he
meets another proud papa engages in
a terrific combat with him. The van
quished bird retires without a single
chick, while the other. surrounded by
the two broods, walks away trium-
phantly.
