Yusufs heart sank at these words but hope vived tsro had known his father called after him: Well done, Yusuf! thou art an honest lad. l will go with thee and that justice IS done thee
 A walk of few minutes brought them to the bazaar of Ebn-Aziz. who was indeed, as one oi the speakers bad said Inisery fellow. He had learned
 few minutes before that his purse had been found, and he cudgeling his evil brain for some excuse by which he might escape paying the prom ised reward. The sympathies Of the crowd however. were with the boy. Angry voices cried to the mer' chant: Come. old money-grubber here is thy purse; now give the lad his due.
 Softly, softly craked the miser. All ir good time, my friends. Let first that what was lost l. found" He extended his hand for the purse.

 Aye the, emerald!" shrieked Ebn. seizng him roughly by the shoulder and shaking him. Think not to deceive my by such clumsy pretense. Thou returnest the gold eh? Oh. paragon of honesty! But thou thinkest to keep the emerald. then-my precious emerald. that is worth ten times this paltry purse Oh. unfortunate that l am! My emerald! My emersld What hast thou done with it, thief beggar?"
 Yusuf shook himself free. and faced the old man, his eyes flashing
 q am no thief" he cried, land no beggar! l gave back thy purse to thee as found it, did not even open it. If it is thy mind to deny the reward. keep thy gold; will have none of itH He turned on his heel
 "Go" said Ebn we'll satisfied with the success Of his scheme "and be grateful to Allah that thou es- capest so easily pardon thee for the sake ot thy dead father. whose name l would not disgraced
 But the Crier laid detaining hand on the boys shoulder "Stop!" he cried. Then. turning to the merchant, he said: What thou wit pardon and what thou wilt not pardon is not for thee to say. This matter hath gone beyond thee. If the boy is hoaest he entitled to the reward; if he be- as you both of ye with me before the Cadi"
 "To the Cadip echoed the crowd "To the Cadii'
 Once arrived at the divan of the Cadi, the case was soon stated. Yusuf told how he had found the Azz. The merchant insisted that, besides the gold. the purse had contained emerald of great value.
 "What vast thou bidden to cry?" said the Cadi,

 The case, for moment, looked brighter for the merchant.
 ,It is mner exclaimed Yusuf. passionately Thine" rejoined Ebn What hath beggar to do with gold? Doubtless thou wilt the Emerald is thine also, directly =
 IT, This taunt had the effect the me. at intended The srowd began to think that perhaps. after all, Ebn-Azz was right The Cadi too. was frowning on the boy But the friend oi Yusufs father had not forsaken him.
 "Efendi."' he said, the boy speaks truly. I myself gave him this gold piece but yesterweek. in exchange for coPPers that he might with more ease and safety preserve his little hoard" Ebn-Azlz' said the Cadi, how many gold pieces hast thou in thy purse:'
 IT have not counted" faltered the merchant
 Count them. Stay! Count so that I may see thee"
 The merchant poured out the gold pieces before the Cadi, and began with trembling fingers to drop them back one by one. into the purse. There were two hundred-not one mlssngl
 The Cadi turned to one oi the scribes who sat near. and dictated an order which the scribe en- grosssd on the roll Then. at sign from the Csdi the clerk rose and, raising his hands 10 command silence. cried in loud voice:
 Tn the name of Allah! In the name ot Allah In the name of Allah Hear ye the judgment of the most just Cadi in the matter concerning the merchant Ebn-Aziz and the boy Yusui7
 The crowd pressed nearer to the divan. Ebn- Aziz glanced furtively at the Cadi but his crafty eyes could find trace of favor or displeasure in the judges impassive face
 "Ebn-Aziz" said the Cadi listen attentively to me: for my decision in this case resteth on thy answer. Remember. too that the reputation of this atherle5s lad Is at stake and Allah. who watcheth over the orphan, hath said: Thou shalt not bear false witness. Therefore. bethink thee before thou answerest. Art thou certain the purse thou lost contained emerald?
 As Allah is my judge" answered Ebn. q am certain
 Then" said the Cadi the matter is simple to de- cide-for l cannot doubt solemn an assurance"
 The merchant bowed low at these words the better to hide the exulting smile that distorted his crafty countenance.
 But neither" continued the Cadi. in an even voice, can l doubt the word of the boy Yusuf whose reputation for truth and honesty hath been established by many witnesses
 Ebn-Azlz strengthened suddenly. The smile had disappeared.
 This, then is my verdict said the Cadi: Since thy purse, Ebn Azz, contained an emerald and since the purse that the boy Yusuf found contained no emerald. 1t IS clear that 1t was not thy purse that the boy found. Therefore. l command that the purse be returned to the finder Yusuf: and thee Ebn-A -Aziz would advise to have thy loss again cried through the streets; perhaps thy emerald may yet be found"
 A week later string of laden camels filed out of the Gate of the Caravans and glided away into the desert. And with them Yusuf glad in the fulhlment ot his dreams he strode proudly be- side the handsomest camel (so Yusuf thought in the world.

Perhaps. too, some of them felt genuine pity for the orphan lad whose father had owned many cam els, and had led many richly laden caravan safely across the sandy wilderness before he and his for tune were swept away in one of those terrible snoous, that, in moment, rushing from no one knows whence blinds, burns and buries its vctims' and sweeps on, no one knows whither -
 It was Yusufs ambition to own camel and travel with the caravans. The sailors son loves the sea- though hi, fathers bones lie bleaching at the bottom of Ii; and Yusuf yearned for the desert as only an Arab can, although he knew that somewhere in its treschsrous sands his fathers body lay. Every day, .. noon, whens the merchants closed their bazaars and retired for their midday nap, the little date seller would wander of the Gate of the Caravans, and gaze wistfully that great sea of sand ot

and uncut I hoped the finder of the purse might prove ignorant of its value.
 Many would return the purse for half the gold it contained Had proclaimed the value of the emer- ald the chances of seeing ii again would have been less; and besides. should have been obliged to ot- fer a greater reward"
 There speaks the miser," cried in the crowd Ebn-Aziz smiled. He cared nothing for the opinion of others. long his explanation was beieved-and 1t was.
 Boy" said the Cadi, turning to Yusuf, hast thou this emerald"
 ''No, Efendi know naught of the stone"
 Let him be searched" said the Cad-
 Two men laid hold of Yusuf, and quickly sacked his clothing Then seized his turban, and with quick motion unroed it. The gold piece that was tucked away in the lining fell the floor with a ringing sound, to the amazement of the beholders
 "Aha!" cried Ebn-Aziz. He hath taken toll of

purse; and through its meshes the boy caught the glint of gold Yusuf slipped the purse quickly into the bosom of his tunic He glanced urtively around. The street was deserted. No one had seen him pick up the purse No need know he had found it unless he chose to tell. Need he tell? He slipped back to the shade of the gateway, and sat down to think .--...-.
 He sat there, turning the matter over in his miRd, a long, long while. his hand pressed over the spot where the purse lay. How heavy it was! He dared not take it out to count his treasure but he knew by the weight of it that here the price of his camel and more. Need he tell?
 Whenever perplexed by doubt as to what he should do, the orphan had always before had re- course to one magic question: 'What would father have done?" Yusuf asked himself that questior now and answered it: Seek for the ownerl"
 Yes; find the owner. That is what he must do. He rose Ca little slowly. it is true. because it was

hard to give the camel up) and started up the street. Who had lost the purse? He didn't know. but it seemed likely that it had been dropped by some of the caravan He would seek there first.
 Before Yusuf could up with the caravan however, another actor appeared the scene. This the Crier, tall, venerable Turk with a flaming turban and flowing gown of figured India stuff He carried long stan with which he struck the ground at every step, the better to emphasize his words.
 Hear ye! Hear ye Hear yei All honest people" he cried 'The merchant Ebn-Aziz hath lost purse containing two hundred pieces of gold. He offers half reward to whomsoever shall re- turn it to him. Better the half with honesty than the whole with deceit! Hath any found purse-a purse containing two hundred pieces of gold"
 Yusuf interrupted the Crier.
 "! have found the purse" he said. He drew it forth from his bosom. Here it is"
 Follow me-" said the Crier. land Ebn-Aziz will pay thee thy reward"
 A little crowd had gathered Pushing his way through these people, the Crer started up the street. followed by Yusuf the idlers trailing along behind Some, however, ran ahead. eager to carry the to Ebn.Aziz As he passed up the street Yusuf heard his name uttered on all sides.
 "Yusuf, the date seller. hath found the merchant Ebn-Azizs purse" cried one.
 He will receive hundred pieces of gold" said another.
 "He is promised a hundred pieces" rejoincd d third; but if know aught of the miser Ebn-Aziz, he will die before he will part with a single gold piece"

which SO many wonderful tales were told
 He wondered now, as he watched the camels file past, whether he would be able to earn enough to buy one of those great, grunting sent-footed beasts. driver had told him once that even the cheapest camel costs more than hundred pieces of gold, and really good one twice as much The boy raised his hand to his turban and felt the one gold coin that was tucked securely away in the lining. Just one! And he needed so many more! He picked up the coppers the men had flung him. wishing in his heart they were gold coins, too and followed dejectedly in the wake of the camels that could still be the far end of the narrow street.
 All at once, as he shuffled along his bare foot struck against something in the dust of the road way that gave forth jingling sound. He stopped quickly and picked up-a netted purse of green silk Not little slender purse but big, fat, bulging

 Was no mention made of emerad?"
 None. The purse alone was named"
 "Ebn-Aziz," said the Cadi If thy purse contained emerald. thou sayest why didst thou not bid the Crer cry that also?"
 The crowd murmured approval at this question, but the merchant ready with answer.
 "Efendi" he said, "the emerald of great size,
