TALES OF THE CALIPH HY-LAN

Mur-fee, the chosen Of Allah, saying that the
Caliph should reign for four years more. Then
descended tranquility upon the soul of the
Good Caliph.
Yet the host of the Sheik Meyer still dwclt
in its encampment in the heart OF the city
and was a thorn in the side of the Faithful.
And before it, at the behest of the Sultan
Nathan the Curious, were hailed captains Of
the Mamelukes and compelled to undergo
strange ordeals, so that many Of them made
protest to high heaven, crying in doorous
voices
Behold, if we are to spend our time an

And it was as he mad said, yet behold when
payment was rendered it was double what the
good Caliph had asked.
Then summoned the Caliph the grateful
slave of the Kept Press who had aided him
in preparing his proclamations, and TO him
he said:
Observe that those to whom have sent
