HLHS FEET

after rivaling his modern brothers in string of absurdities and of precepts as indigestible as the filberts of Berdaa, paused for words of commendation from his mistress-but Lala was fast asleep.
 The Princess now determined that she must see Feramorz no more; she was rapidly approaching the frontier and would before long see King Ahiris waiting to welcome her. She forbade the poet to come to her pavilion, and tried as duti- fully as she could to prepare her mind for the image of the king who was to be her husband. The poet himself, who was un- used to critical analyses, which profes- sion had not yet penetrated into the wilds of Cashmere, was considerably taken aback at the reception of his hum ble efforts to please. and was therefore summoned before the Princess at the next encampment. The ladies of Lalla Rookh's court also began to feel that they had admired the author too hastily, and let fall little disparaging remarks concerning his performances which would in the case of most authors have sealed their doom with the publishers.
 But the Princess bade them hold their tongues, and after a few days felt her self so far safe that she once more sum- moned Feramorz to attend her It was at the noon encampment. where the travellers rested from the heat of the day beside fountain upon the stone work of which some one had rudely carved the lines of Sadi-"Many, like me, have viewed this fountain, but they are gone and their eyes closed forever" While Lalla Rookh was musing upon the in- scription a sudden silence fell among her chattering maids and the poet Feramorx appeared among them. He selected this time for his theme the story of Para disc and the Peri" the peris being those wandering nymphs of the air who, cast out of Paradise, may yet be forgiven and obtain entrance if they bring to the ce- lestial gates the gift most precious in the sight of heaven. The peri of Feramorz brought as an acceptable entrance fee. after many trials of others a tear of re- pentance and was happy within the celestial walls forevermore.
 fadiadeen was shocked, as usual. And this said he, "is poetry! this 1imsy manufacture of the brain which, in com parison with the lofty and enduring works of genius is as the gold filigree work of Zamara to the eternal architecture of Egypt He let of many more gorgeous sentences of the same sort, and would. like the twenty thousand streams of Barsa, have been still going on had not Lalla Rookh stopped him and commanded that the journey be immediately resumed The next day they arrived the splendid city of Lahore, whose masoleums and shrines, magnificent and numberless. where Death appeared to share equal honors with Heaven, would have greatly affected the heart of the Princess had not a feeling of more earthly nature held possession of her. At Lahore Lalla Rookh was met by messengers, who in- formed her that the king had arrived in the Valley of Cashmere. and was himself experimenting the sumptuous prepara- tions that were making in the Saloons of Shalimar for her reception.
 To . bride whose heart was free and light this information would have brought

story. He would reserve the rest for the ensuing night. All the next day as she Journeyed on Lalla Rookh thought of the poet and the poem-but more of the poet. In fact the affianced bride of King Aliris was in love with an humble minstrel madly in love. She began to realize 1t and was therefore sad. Her love and her destiny seemed so far asunder At first she thought she would not see him again but when evening came and the pavilions were pitched for the night Fera-
 morz came without denial to the royal tent and continued his recital. In fact the eyes of the Princess lighted up with such a sudden gleam of pleasure when the poet entered that her ladies noticed it and whispered apart. Lucky Fadla- deen wes too much occupied with think ing on his own importance to notice 1t or 1t would have gone hard with Fera- morz.
 That night the poet concluded his reel tation and the suite of the Princess was doomed to hear the comments of Fadla- deen upon the performance. As for the Princess sine heard what her chamberlain said but regarded it not She was in a mournful revery while he spoke. Fadla- deen was unusually severe upon the oc- casion.
 A series of disappointments had oc- cured to him during the pourney. In the first place those couriers stationed as in the reign of Shah Jehan. between the Delhi and the western coast to secure a constant and fresh supply of mangoes for the royal table had, because of some ir- regularity, failed in their duty and Fad ladeen had been obliged to eat those in- ferior mangoes of Mazagons; in the next place the elephant laden with the cham berlains collection of antique porcelain had in fit Of liveliness shattered the whole outft-an irreparable loss as some of the dishes were so old as to have been used by the Emperors Yan and Chun. His Koran, too supposed to be the identi- cal copy between the leaves of which once nestled Mahomet's favorjte pigeon, had been mislaid for days by his Koran bearer much to the alarm of Fadiadeen who had an idea that only in this par ticular copy could he find the road to salvation. Then to all these grievances was added the obduracy of the cooks who had persisted in putting pepper of Can ara instead of cinnamon of Serendib into his dishes. No wonder the critic was wroth and prepared with more than or dinary gusto his rods in picklng for the author whom fate seemed to have sent to him as nakepeace offering.
 Tadladeen rightly considered that the first duty and the principal excuse for being an author is to furnish an object upon which the spleen, the envy. the malice and the indigestion of person whom freaky fortune has set in judg- ment can vent themselves with impuni- ty. and even win applause. Added to this was the natural feeling of antipathy which every mind of the lower order of mediocrity bears toward genius. It will readily be supposed that the strictures of the eunuch Eadladeen upon the story of Feramorz the poet were not wanting in severity. So the chamberlain went through the usual rigamarole. calling to his aid all the authorities so much re- vered by the ancient school of critics and publishers to which he belonged, end
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-01-23

lowing night It was so late, in fact. no time for Fadladeen to give voice to the erudite criticisms which he had been mentally preparing as the recitation went on and Lalls Rookh went to her siumbers to dream of the poem and-it must be added subrosa-the poet.
 On their arrival the next night at the appointed place of encampment they were surprised to find the groves all illumi- mated, some artists rom Yarntcheou hav- by King Aliris. On each side of the green alley which led to the royal pa- vilion artificial see neries of bamboo rep resenting arches, minarets and towers were hung with thousands of lanterns of silk painted by the most delicate pencils of Canton. Nothing could be more beau tiful than the leaves of the mango trees and acacias shining in the light from the lanterns which shed around a radiance as soft as the nights of Peristan. But, much to the modification of the artists who had prepared all this beauty, Lalla Rookh hurried to her pavilion, scarcely noticing the preparation which had been made to welcome her and Fadladeen, talk ing the cue from the action Of the Prin- cess, hurried after her, cursing as he went the memory of the ancient man. darin whose paternal anxiety for a be- loved daughter who had wandered and illunlinati0ns.
 Tho fact was that Lalla Rookh could think only of the poet and the poem, and counted every moment lost which delayed her from hearing again the voice of Fer amerz. She was too young to know that duty should be as potent consid- eration ae love and that a few words of thanks for the illumination. gracefully bestowed, would have obviated many tears and hsaTtburninss among those poor artists who had so faithfully striven to please her. But the young are always selfsh-ths old sometimes-not always. But there is this difference between the selfishness of the young and that of the old: The former Is born of thought lessness, the latter through pure self seeking. So Fadladeen caused pain to tho poor artists through a deliberate and
 
 willful desire to appear to think as his mistress did, while poor Lalla Rookh caused them pain simpiy because her young heart yearned more after Fera- morz than after illumination.
 without a momens's delay the poet was introduced into the pavilion of the Prin- cess and Tadadeen, who could not rest content until he had known to what re- ligious sect person belonged, began to ask the young man whether he was of the shia or the Sooni way of thinking. when the Princess impatiently clapped her hands and ordered that Feramorz pro- ceed with his recital.
 So the poet began. reciting sometimes and sometimes singing, the second part of his poem and introducing that de- lightful ballad:
 There's bower of roses by Bendesmers
