uaughter and when she besought
her father to wed her to King
Shahriar 1t was cause for grief to the
yizler. For each day was Il ShahrIar's
wont to put to death his bride of the
day before. 1t befell. however. that
Sheherazade had her viii. As she had
hoped, the king was wakeful and to
beguIle him she began a story Of
magic. Dawn broke before she had
finished and so enger was Shahriar to
hear II nil that he gnve no order for
her execution.
For n thousand and one nights did
this befail while Sheherazade told
tales OF love, war and sorcery. Of kings.
beggnrs and rogues. Of lands where
diamonds were more plentiful than
pebbles and bigger than eggs. Of in
trigues in the lanes and bazaars Of
Oriental cities. In towns and deserts
and far islands did necromancers work
their wills. Horses flew: dogs talked /;
merrnaldens and creatures greater
than whales peopied the decps: ogres
and enormous apes crept out of for
ests; birds so great that their wings

skies. Here, too. were lovers in pal
aces and novels. bold and cowardy.
yet all so enamored that they swooned
Mt the very thought of the beloved.
Underlying all was the coiorful ORR
ent. with BARRIERS and porters jostllng
cnliphs and princesses in the t:ironged
and picturesque lanes of three cities
whose very names conjure up romance
-gagdad, Cairo and Damascus.
Now these are the best liked Of She
herazade's tales:
The Story Of Aiaddin's Lamp.
OF Aladdin. son Of q poor tailor In
China. prankish scamp. An African
magician guided him to q subterranean
cave where he found the lamp that
summoned the genie. Out Of nothing
ness did this genie spread banquets
for Aladdin and robe him In rich raj
ment He provided him retinuss Of
slaves, bearing basins heapeh high
! With precious stones. who carried to
the king Aladdin's suppliance for the
hand Of the beautiful Princess Badroul-
boudour. In night did the genie raise
palace Of glowing wonders. Of shin
in- marble and gold and silver. with
windows incrusted with diamonds. en-
eraids and rubies. with fragrant gar
dens and open courts. So Aladdin mar
ried the princess and they knew great
1 Joy. But the magician returned stole
| the lamp and in trice Transported
tho palace and the princess to Africa.
Then was Aladdin woeful. but by
magic he found his beloved, poisoned
the magician. seized the lamp and
came to China. where he and Badroul-
boudour lived happily ever nfterward.
The Story Of sinbad.
Of Sinbad the sailor and his marvel
ous voyages. Wherein II Is related
that Slnbad lnr led upon what seemed
en- island but which was great fish
that sank into the sea. And Of other
voyages and greater wonders. Of which
one marvels most at the adventure

And OF many tales concerning the
Caliph Harun-al.Rashid and his going
disguised into the lines and bafears Of
Bagdad. where he chanced upon
strange people who told him strange
stories Of magic. Once he supped with
three ladies' Of dazzling beauty and
with him we-" porter dazed with the
mngnificence he saw and three mendi-
cnnfs. sons Of kings. all blind in the
left eye. Not knowing the Caliph they
told Of their fantastic adventures and
sufferings and he rewarded them. And
agnln he encountered u beggar who Inn
plored him to strike him, youth who
spurred cruelty mare upon which he
rode and rope-maker who had risen
suddenly from poverty to aftiuence.
Their tales too did he hear and them
too did he reward. Nor should Abu-
Hassan, the wnG. be forgotten. whose
trickery IN pretending that he and his
wife were dead won so much gold and
so many laughs from the Caliph. And
Of like import Is the mad tole Of the
humpback who seemed dead and of
the talkatfve barber who restored him
to life. Of all those who had believed
themselves murderers of the hump
back and Of the amazing tales that
they related.
So 1t came to pass that by the end
Of the thousand and one nights Shah
riar was SO delighted In the cleverness
Of Sheherazade that he welded her
again with regal poinp and they lived
happily ever nfter.
