post Of the privy purse.
The caliph sat on a divan drink
ing coffee and smoking a narghile,
and his courtiers surrounded him.
Suddenly with a queer frown, he
said:
Whom do you regard as the
greater man, my father or me?'
THE vizier, the cadi and the white
bearded councillors were silent, puz-
zled. unable to think of an answer
that would not imperil their places,
and even their heads.
But the adroit young equerry
stepped easily into the breach.

asked.

father or ~ repeated the caliph.
