There Is a beggar,"
she said, lying against
the wall of the palace.
Give him your clothes
and ask him to give you,
In exchange, his turban
of camel's hair and the
coarse cloth which cir
dies his loins. Make
haste while l get ready"
And she ran out of
the banquet hall, clap
ping her hands for Joy.
Balthasar took off his
tunic made Of fine linen
and all embroidered with
with gold, and tied the
beggar's cloth round his
loins. He looked a true
slave. The queen soon
reappeared in the seam
less blue gown of the
poor women who worked
in the fields.
Let us go!" she said,
and led Balth a s a r
through narrow Hobbies
down to a small gate.

alighted on your neck, and l will give you one
half of my kingdom, with the sage sembobitis
and Menkera the eunuch into the bargain"
But she got up and ran away laughing a
clearringing laugh.
That evening Balthasar had supper with
the queen of Sheba and drank palm wine.
so, really said Balkis during the supper,
Queen Candace is not so fair of face as |
amp"
Queen Candace is black answered Bal
thasar.
Balkis glanced at Balthasar and said:
"One can be black and comely.
"Balkis!" exclaimed the king.
He could say no more. SEEKING her in his
embrace he held the queens forehead beneath
his lips. But he saw that she was weeping,
Then he spoke to her in a low, caressing,
lightly singing voice, as a nurse would to her
babe, and he called her his little flower and
his little star.
why dost thou weep?" said he, 'and
what must l do that thou mayest weep no
more? If thou hast any wish, tell 1t me, and
I shall do even as thou wishest."
She had ceased weeping, and now she was
in a dreamy mood. For a long time he pressed
her to tell him her wish.
At last she said:
II wish to feel fear"
AS Balthasar did not seem to understand,
she explained to him that for a long time she
had been wishing to be exposed to some I'M
known danger, but that she could not, because
both the men and the gods Of sheba were
watching over her.
And yet" she added with a sigh, Il should
so like to feel, during the night, the cold and
delightful thrill of fear go through my flesh!
l should SO like to feel my hair stand on end!
Obi how delightful 1t would be to be afraid"
She threw her arms round the neck Of the
black king and said, In the voice Of a beseech'
ing child:
Here is night coming down upon us. Let
us both 60 through the town in disguise. VIII
you not comet"
He assented and she, running to the win
dow, looked through the lattice into the public
square.

"Good!' said the agent, rubbing his

"Oh, we have stopped business to at

At the same moment some brigands hap
pened to pass by and saw the two lying on the
moss.
Then they tied them to the tail of a donkey
and went along their way with them.
The black king was hurting threats of death
at them, but Balkis, although slightly shivering
in the cold air of dawn, seemed to smile at
some inward thought.
They walked through barren solitudes until
the heat of the day began to make itself felt.
She was now laughing, and the brigand CHIEF
having asked her the reason why, she replied:
81 am laughing at the thought of having you
all hanged"
"Truly, my ~beauty!" exclaimed the brigand
chief, chat is strange talk in the mouth OF a
scrubber of pots! And your black gallant? he
will probably help your
On hearing these insulting words, Balthasar
was incensed with rage; he threw himself upon
the brigand and squeezed his neck SO hard that
he nearly s~trangled him.
But the brigand stuck his knife into him, and
the poor king, rolling on the ground, looked at
Balkis with eyes in which all life soon seemed
to be extinct.

Ill.

But now there came a big roar of armed
horsemen and~Balkis saw brave Abner who, at
the head of her guards, came to release his
queen, of whose mysterious disappearance he
had heard the day before.
The mage Sembrobitis and Menkera the eu-
much who were standing by Abner's side gave
a loud cry when they saw their prince lying mo-
tionless with G knife In his side. They raised
him with the utmost care. Sembrobitis, who
was we'll versed in medical science, saw that
he was still breathing. He dressed the wound
while Menkera wiped the froth from the kings
lips. Then they tied him on a horse and bore
him gently to the queens palace.
For a space of fifteen days Balthasar re-
manned in a state lof mad delirium. He spoke
continually Of the brass pot and of the moss In
the torrent bed, and cried out for Balkis. On
the sixteenth day, having opened his eyes, he
saw Sembrobitis and Menkera by his bedside,
but he did not see the queen.
Where is she? What is she doing?"
"My lord" said Menkera, "she is in private
conversation with the king Of Comagene."
II must see her!" cried Balthasar.
And he rushed out toward the queens apart
ment before the old man and the eunuch could
stop him. When he came near the bed cham
Der he saw the king Of Comagene coming out Of
it, all bedecked with gold and as bright as the
sun. -
Balkis, lying on a purple bed, with closed
eyes, was smiling.
"Oh Balkis! Oh my own!" cried Balthasar.
She turned a cold and hard gaze on him, and
he saw that she had forgotten everything, and
he reminded her of that night in the torrent bed.
Il really do not know what you mean, my
lord. Palm wine agrees not with you. You
must have been a-dreaming."
She rose to her feet and the gems in her
gown clashed like hailstones and shone like
lightning.
my lord" she said, now Is the time when
my privy council must assemble. have no
leisure for explaining the dreams Of a diseased
brain. Take some rest. Adieu!"
Balthasar felt as If he was going to die, but
he made an effort to hide his weakness from
the wicked woman, and, flying to his room, he
tainted, his wound having opened again.

For three weeks he remained insensible, as
If dead, and on the twenty-second day, when he
came back to life again, he clasped the hand Of
Sembobitis, who, together with Menkera, had
been watching over him, and he said, with tears:

The night was dark
and Balkis looked quite
small in the darkness.
She took Balthasar to
one of those drinking
dens where porters about
town used to assemble.
They sat down to a table
and they could see, by

hut he was not listening to them, being all IN
tent upon looking at the little jackals VINO
were sitting, with ears erect, on the SANDY
horizon.
At last, after a march Of twelve long days,
Balthasar and his companions smelt a sweet
smell of roses and they soon gazed upon the
gardens which surrounded the town OF SheDa"
There they met young maidens who were
dancing under poisoning pomegranates.
When they came into the town they were
amazed at the size Of storehouses, sheds ana
workyards, which were stretching in front OF
them. as well as at the large quantity of mer-
.chandise stored in them. For a long time they
walked along streets thronged with chariots,
porters, donkeys and donkey drivers, until the
marble walls, the purple tents, the gold GU
polas of Balkis' palace came into view.
The queen of Sheba received them in a
court cooled with fountains Of perfumed wa
ter which fell in pearly streams with a clear
ringing sound. She was standing in beJeweled
robes and she was smiling.
When he saw her Balthasar was deeply
troubled. She appeared to him sweeter than
q sweet dream.

''be careful to conclude a good treaty OF COM
merce with the queen"
Take heed, my lord" said Menkera, "for
she is said TO use magic in winning the hearts
of men,"
Then, after bowling very low, the mage and
the eunuch retired.

opened his mouth, In an attempt to speak, but
