CHAPTER IX

‘Then you lied when I took you beard,” I said, sternly, interrupting | him in th midst of his narrative. Even a sea-robber may have his honour, and for the present foible was to hate lying. |

* Could I guess your that girlish face 7?” he asked, with an’! impudent = grin. ‘You might be a | missionary ship.”

‘T em no liar,” I eaid, severely, while comscience whispered ‘“ Impos- toe.

“ And I swear by the rover’s flag:I

will follow truth,” said the rogue, with @ broader grin than ever. “Are we; not brothers, and should not .our souls | be as dials in the sunlight ? Yea, and I love the brave Englishman. In } Egypt and Africa have I not known | him, amd im the Persian gulf have 4 not see: with joy his skill in slashing eff heads ? He is the angel demon of the world. He will make good the | black Ethiopian, and sell rum and take ships and make himself rich with what others have gathered. I love him as a brother.”

Naturally I was gratified hy high and impartial testimony to noble qualities of mry countrymen.

In his rwumaging Abratin ben Aden came upon my armoury.

“ What a man of arms you are tobe a boy in years’” he exclaimed, with some excitement. “ Here are weapons for a whole ship’s crew!” And select- ing a sword he drew it from the scab- bard and began to feel its edge.

‘Not so fast,” I sald, stepping up to him. “These are dangerous. You talk of magic ; let me warn you of the

this the

magic| there is in these wez2pons:”’ “Yea, I believe in their magic,” ‘he amawered, complacently, “‘ but is it not the magic of the arm that wields them ? I know a good blade when 1. sex it. Choose ye one, and we will have | fome sport. May I perish if I am not ' forgetting the ring and the gleam of, steel! See, see how ft bends! Tis: a welhtiempered blade. Yea, and it is light \47% the hand.” And he made a Cimie .of sunbeams about his head. I stepped. back, my hand instinctively | seeking the hilt of my pistol, and said indifterently that I was not in the hn- |

mowr ‘fer sport. The truth was I was not humour to take any present | risks «rot absolutely necessary. With | a shale of disappointment and vexa- | tion, he thrust the sword back into its sheath and returned it to its place.

Munchausen a common falsifier.

To give variety to the entertain- ments, one day he proposed that he should teach me Arabic.

“Know that.Abram ben Aden, though a rover, is likewise a master of liter- ature,” he said, with a superb flourish of his; arms; ‘“ the poets are his espe- Cial delight. They are greater than the magicians ; they are as a flame in the soul which fluminates the uni- verse. But how is the adventurer, the corsair, to.carry the songs of the poets With him’? Why, here,” tapping his forehead. ‘“‘Here is the chamber in which the poets have their abode, and here,” producing a greasy volume from the folds of his dress, “is what the prophet gave to the faithful as a con- solation till they are translated to en- joy forever the love of the houris.

“You are an infidel, but what of that ? You know what joy is, you |} know what sorrow is. You have feel-

ings, appetites, aspirations—you are a man. You hope to get to’*heaven. I will show you the way, and while I show you shall learn the Arab’s ton- gue. Come, my merry infidel, you shall yet converse as a brother with the children of the desert. Yea, and

And thou on honey drew shalt feed And drink the milk of paradise.

"Tis the song of one of our poets which thou shalt learn, my brave one.” And with an air of having the erudition of Alexandria at his fingers’ ends, he forthwith began my instruction.

He proved a good teacher, and I was not an inattentive nor, I think, an inapt pupdl. One rule my tutor made and adhered to rigidly, and that was that we should talk nothing but Ara- bic. It was a sore trial of patience at first, but I persevered and in a week—such was my diligence—was able to converse with tolerable fluency. The second week I was deep in the Koran dnd able to follow my teacher in his recitations from the Arabian poets ; the third week I was reciting myself. Abram ben Aden was delighted with his success.

“By the prophet’s mantle,” he said, “‘T will have you in paradise yet. Your speech diready is .as.of one pred in the desert. You have the Arab’s tongue, and next will come the Arab’s faith. And all thy brave deeds will be for-

given. Why should not the bold cor- sair have happiness .at last ?’’ As a diversion to our studies, he

lured me, rather against nry judgment, into. a daily bout with the sword. “It will keep your hand and eye true,” he said, insinuatingly. “Let the master practise on his slave. Methinks you take joy in the flash and ring of the steel. All brave men do. By the sword of Sikandar el Rumi, there is the stuff of a fighter in you. This sliip with all its plunder shows it. Yet you will not let your blade drink your

servant’s blood.”’ It was not likely I would, but there Was no°* assurance that my = servaut

would exercise a like restraint over his blade. Indeed, on second thoughts, his proposition seemed to me a ruse to try my mettie and wheedle me into an overweening comeeit with myself that would give him his opportunity. Happily, I was not entirely ignorant in the of the sword, for my graver studies had been interrupted, perhaps too often, by prolonged fencing bouts. But then I was far from thinking my- lf an expert. So that it was no light matter to stand up before a man of unknown skill and suspicious motive, whose greatest delight it might be to spit me at the very first go off. Never-
