ENCHANTED HORSE

One day, as the sultan OF Persia
was holding a great feast, there APP
peared before his throne Hindu
with a wonderfully constructed ar
tificial horse He bent low before
the sultan. and said: This horse is
great wonder. BY mounting
him, | can be carried through the
air as far-a as | wish TO 60, and in
a very short time. Shall | show
your, majesty how IL Is done?'
The sultan gave his consent and
the Hindu. mounting the horse,
turned a little peg In his neck and
straightway the steed scared up
into the air. He circled about above
the heads of the amazed company
and then. at the turning OF anoth-
er peg, his master brought him
safely to the sultan's feet again.
The sultan was much pleased, and
asked the price OF the horse.
"Only one price can purchase him
and that Is the hand OF your daugh-
ter" said the Hindu. The court
gasped, the sultan looked thun-
derstruck. and the princess-well
she simply bit her lips in utter
rage. The poor Hindu soon found
out that II does not pay to go about
proposing to princesses, for the an
CRY sultan ordered him beheaded,
and the order was straightway car
ried out-and that was the end OF
the poor Hindu.
While all this excitement was go
ing on, the sultan's son, being OF
an adventurous turn or MIND,
leaped on the magic horse and be-
gan examining him. Suddenly he
touched a little peg and before the
amazed people really knew what
was happening the prince was some
hundred feet in the air and rescue
was impossible. The princess
stamped her foot. the sultan pulled
his beard, but that did not bring
the prince back So the sultan is
sued proclamation Offering
great reward for the return OF his
son. alive or dead.
In the meantime the prince was
speeding through the air. At first
he was terribly frightened, but soon
he began to like the sensation and
hoped his ride would never end.
Towards evening, however. he
passed through cloud and felt
damp and unpleasant. so he began
to think of descending. He pulled
the peg In every possible direction.
