The father, beautiful, eloquent, and accomplished, exercised a strange fascination over his contemporaries; and among those who dip nowadays into the annals of the time there are not many and these few are little to be envied who can resist the fascination of the mother.

"Dip quickly your forefinger in the blood of this slain one, and anoint with it the beak of the black bird." Haschem obeyed immediately; and scarcely had he touched the black bird's beak with the blood, than it changed, and a handsome youth in kingly dress stood before them. "Guess who this is," said the genius. "Mundian Oppu?" asked Haschem. And the genius answered, "It is he!"
