TN TEE name Of the Profit, the rewarder
4 Of the Faithful, draw nearl Allah is great
-@- and Mohanlmed is his apostle and the
djinns El Graft and Priv el Ege are the
servants Of these twain. And the faces Of
these immortal ones whom the men Of the
Great Mosque on the street called Fourteen
rise by night to worship are filed with benev-
oIence for the good Callph Hy-lan Of the Buddy
Countenance, protector of the poor, the foe Of
the interests, who standeth guard over the
ways his people travel. Praise be to the good
Caliph, the nickel tongued, and ye, the seed Of
Islam, give ear to the thousand and twenty
approach Of the day Of choosing.
For it came to pass that as the day drew
nigh when the people Of the city should gather
and write upon their ballots the name Of him
whom Mur-fee the Mullah and Will ibn Hearst,
the Sheik III Islam, had chosen to rule over
them for four years more, dissension grew
in the city. For people in their madness cried
out against the Caliph though for the four
years past he had told them that lie was their
best friend. And the Ernir Kuran, once lord
in the household Of Hy-lan, led in this outcrv.
while the Kadi Jerome went to and fro in the
streets Of the city speaking of the leaders Of
the Marnelukes with tongue Of thorns, so that
they took refuge from, his words in their real
estate and brokerage Offices or Jared far away
from the sound of his voice in chariots be-
slowed on them by those who love brave men.
Then might fear have entered the broad
bosom Of the Caliph had he not trusted in the
words Of his spiritual comforter, the Sheik I'll
Islam, before whom even the priests of the
Great Mosque bow in reverence. And the
guardians of his words, seeing that distress
sat as heavy upon his brow he himself on
his throne, gave him leave to speak to his peo-
pie words of comfort
And the good CaIiph rose and prepared 70
do as they bade. Then, while messengers
rode forth TO announce to his people that Hy-
Ian would impart to them wisdom, retired the
Caliph to his own chamber and there prac-
ticed faithfully the gestures which his servants
informed him should accompany his speech
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06

until the sweat stood op his forehead like cleo
trlc bulbs On near-beer sign
Then returned his messengers and found the
good Caliph reclining Oh his divan, the while
Nubian slaves famed away the heat Of exer-
else from his countenance. And salaaming
before him. they said:
Brother Of the Bu-Bull. we have proclaimed
TO thy people that thou wouldst appear before
them to give an accounting of the years of thy
reign, even as doth a steward render to his
lord the tale of his transactions. Thou wilt
stand before them, we have said prepared to
answer the charges men make against thee,
and behold, all thy city waiteth to hear thy
voice.
Then the good Caliph half rose from his
couch and said in a voice of warning:
But they dassnt ask me questions"
And captain Of his Mamelukes stepped for
ward and, touching the hilt Of his scilnitar,
quoth:
Brother OF the Bonfire, that will be taken
care Of"
Then sank Ey-lan back again upon his divan
and epake:
''It is well. Fan faster"
And on the appointed day Jared forth the
Calph and his train to the appointed place and
the Enrs and Pashas of his household stood
by the way and melted the populace to cheers.
And guards were placed at the entrance Of the
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06

hall where ne would speak SO that none save
those known to be OF the faith might gain
entrance.
Then before these spake the good Caliph
Of the glories and the wisdom of his reig7l,
making the proper gestures as one long prac-
tlced IN the art and watching the scroll spread
before him with such care that he stumbled
only over the hardest of the words
But toward the end Of his speech madness
descended upon one who gave ear to his words,
and this person rose in his place and quoth
How about
Yet TO this day no man knoweth more of
what ne would have spoken, for the vigilant
Manelukes Of the CaIiph sprang forth hot to
avenge this deep affront against their lord
And they laid hands upon the blasphe,ner and
hailed him forth and would have hayed him be-
tore all beholders had not the Caliph in his
mercy shaken his head. So, by the mercy of
Hy-lan, they let him go scatheless after kick
ing him down stairs
And the good Caliph ended his speech, say
ing:
II am for the people, and against the inter
ests. thank you.''
And mighty cheering went up from those
who heard him.
Then for many days Hy-lan Of the Ruddy
Countenance went up and down the city speak

ing to his people until his eyes grew sore from
reading the manuscripts laid before him. And
SO busy was he with his labor of bringing
light of knowledge to the men and women of
his realm that no time remained for answer
ing the questions concerning his rule that the
rebel Emir Kuran Numbered night and day
from the hazars and streets of the city.
Then the day of choosing drew nigh hald
the priests Of the Great Mosque great cere-
nony, and they bade thereto Al Smith Eff
fendi, who had once ruled as Sultan over all
the land and who in earlier days had turned
MS face from the good Caliph. And all men
listened to the erstwhile ruler Of the land
for word had gone forth that it was his intent
to bury the past and praise Hy-lan to the
stars. And before the priests and mobiles of
Islam Al Smith spake of the weather and
the beauties of nature and the greatness of
Allah and added concerning the good Caliph
Hy-lan Of the Ruddy Countenance:
"He does what he does only because he
doesn't know any better
And a mighty cIamor went up from those
who heard, and Hy-lan, overcome at this in
dorsement, sobbed on the bosom of his vizier,
Sinn-ott of the Gorgeous Garments, who hastily

Yet as the days went on the voice Of the
Enlir Kuran abated not, and the good Caliph
took thought to himself and called to his
wazirs, the keepers Of his accounts, saying:
Doth not the public servant who hath
served faithfully upon retirement derive
pension from the sand?"
And his wazirs, bowing, quoth:
Yea
Then said Hy-ian: write then my name
among those who are fitted TO receive such
recompense, for by the beard Of the Profit the
voice of the Emir Kuran hath made me be-
lieye that almost anything may happen"
Then replied his wazirs, bowling still lower:
"Cousin Of the Comet, it is the law that one
to receive a pension from the city must be
beyond all endeavor, or unable to gain other
employment by his own effort"
And the good Caliph, taking thought to him
self, again paused moment and at last spake:
Write down my name. Do I not come
under such Classification"
And the wazirs, knowing full we'll court pro-
cedurc, replied as they wrote:
"Caliph, you said mouthful.''
And the good Caliph Hy-Ian Of the Ruddy
