These words weighed heavily on
the young mans heart. Now it hap -
pened that he knew Of a wise man
who lived in the-selitude-e the
desert and spent his time In study
ing books Of profound wisdom. So
Ali Kadez repaired to him, told him
Of Sadika's sad plight and asked
him for advice The philosopher
went into his cavern and brought
out a small. plain box, and present
Ing 1t to the youth, said:
my dear ALI KadeZ, this little box
possesses magic power. When your
sweetheart becomes anxious to know
whether you are living or dead, she
may open it. Within she will find
a small piece Of the cloak Of the
Prophet. If this be red, It WITH stg-
Nifty that you are dead; If 1t be white,
it will denote that you are alive. But
mark this, and also caution the
maiden: the charm will only act
once! Therefore she must consult it
only in the greatest extremity,
Ali KadeZ was so overcome with
to thank the philosopher and return
box, together with the wise mans
instructions, to his beloved Sadika;
and sorrowfully babe her adfeu.
Through ability and bravery, in
many hard-fought battles, Ali Kadez
won for himself positions OF great
honor, and Death spared him. JOY
fully he returned to his native land
His heart leaped in his bosom as he
thought how, crowned with the lau-
rels, he would ask Sadika's hand In
marriage, how he would slasp her to
his heart.
But. what q disappointment await
ed him.! Among the people who
came out to welcome the soldiers
back to the city was Sadika, on the
arm Of another man. Ali Kadez
turned pale at the sight and vowed
vengeance to the man who had so
basely imposed upon him % &
He therefore had the philosopher
arrested and brought into his pres
ence.
"Insolent dog( why didst thou be-
tray me in this manner" said All

sincerely loved you, she would keep

Whereas, If she should cease to care
for you and should find another who
filled your place in her affections,
she would open it, hoping to learn
that you were dead, so That she
might marry him without breaking
faith with you. Therefore, put q
