that the good man rode in the streets
with many followers and horses and
elephants, when he saw the evil man
clad in rags passing through the street.
de stopped his train, and, dismounting,
ran to the evil man and embraced him
and kissed him. He threw robe upon
him and set him upon an elephant and
brought him to his own palace. Here he
entertained him, and made much OF him
and praised him, saying that he owed
all his good fortune to him. The evil
mans heart was filed with jealousy
He went before the king and spoke to
him, saying, "Do you know what sort
OF man you have for son-in-law,
you who are so proud? | have known
him from child, and he is the son of
seavenger, one of the very pariahs whose
touch is pollution" The king rose in
fury and cast his son-in-law into prison,
and the evil man laughed and went his
way. When the kings daughter begged
her husbands life, and he was dragged
before the king for judgment, the good
man said, "Have | done evil to you or
good that you should believe evil of me
am no pariah; but | come of royal
blood. l was poor and outcast, but
count my fathers for a thousand years,
and am the child of the sun and the
moon even as you are yourself, and as
told you before. Thus shall you know
that | am no mean man, give me camels
and | will go fetch my treasure" The
king gave him camels and men, and he
went and dug beneath the withered oak
tree near a stone of which the lion had
spoken. There he found the treasures
of seven kings, gold and silver and Jew
els without number He loaded up the
camels, and sent for more and more
again, and yet again, till the city was
filled with wonder and the kings treas
ure houses overlooked. The king be-
lieved his word and knew that he was
no pariah's son, and took him back to
his palace and begged his forgiveness.
The good man now ruled the kingdom
and did justice, and all men loved him.
Again it CHANGED that he rode in the
city, and the evil man came by, returned
to see the effects of his evil Again the
good man ran to him and kissed him,
and brought him to his palace, and treat
ed him with honor, naming him the
source of all his good fortune. Shall
not the good do good, and the evil do
evil, for so God has appointed, and who
shall gainsay? The evil man, full of
wonder, asked him how all had befallen
him. and the good man told him all from
the beginning, and hid nothing from him.
The heart of the evil man was filled with
jealousy and evil, and he took counsel
how he could destroy his benefactor. So
he went to the dry well on the edge of
the desert, and climbed down, hoping
to hear the animals talk and to learn
new secrets. When night fell the ami
mails came back-the lion, the jackal
and the wolf. Said the lion: my treas
ure is gone, and | go hungry Who has
robbed me?" my Towering plant has
gone" replied the jackal; someone has
done this thing, some man who hid in
the well and heard our talk" The wolf
looked down and cried, my fern is gone,
and here is the man who took it." With
"a bound the lion leaped into the well
upon the evil man and tore him limb
from limb, for so it had been appointed
from the beginning that he should per-
ish. Thus died the evil man. full of
evil, but the good man reigned in the
palace, and did good and love-. Justice.
Strong sons Were born to him and fair
daughters, so he lived in happiness and
honor, and died in the fullness of time,
as God had appointed to him his place.
