Then, tired of hunting, Belshazzar came racing and the little feathered people scattered in precipitate flight. "How do you like that kind of a noise?" inquired the Harvester. The Girl drew a deep breath. "Of course you know that was the most exquisite sight I ever saw," she said. "I never shall forget it. I did not think there were that many different birds in the whole world.
As there was only one chair in the room, Sarakoff eventually thrust me into it, while he sat down on the great beast whom he called Belshazzar and told me over and over again how glad he was to see me. And this warmth of his was pleasant to me. "Are you experimenting on Belshazzar?" I asked at length. He nodded, and smiled enigmatically. "He is two hundred years old," he said.
"The saddling and packing of the animals occupies much time. We start about nine o'clock with nine animals, six burros, two horses and one mule. My Belshazzar is slow but very sure. Mr. James rides the mule, a red creature, very nervous and excitable and which they tell me is not well broken and does not like to be ridden. Ascending the Trail.
At the earliest possible moment probably when he was about fourteen he had associated with him in the government his son, Belshazzar, or Bel-shar-uzur, the grandson of the great Nebuchadnezzar. This step, taken most likely with a view to none but internal dangers, was now found exceedingly convenient for the purposes of the war.
Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
It would have been interesting to have assisted at the final festival when, beneath cyclopean arches, in the sunlight of clustered candelabra, amid the glitter of gold and white teeth, among the fair sultanas that were strewn like flowers through the throne-room of the imperial court, Belshazzar lay, smiling, amused rather than annoyed at the impudent menace of Cyrus. Babylon was impregnable.
After some yelling on my part the men come to my rescue. We start on again, the doctor putting the saddle on Belshazzar for me. When I dismount, the result of unskilled effort appears, for, as soon as I throw my weight over to the left, the saddle turns and I am dumped upon the ground. We camp at an altitude of eight thousand feet; short of water. Short of Water. "Thursday, Sept. 5, 1901.
Ten and ten, a thousand lords of Babylon marched in stately throng, and in their midst rode Belshazzar the king, high upon his coal-black steed, crowned with the great tiara of white linen and gold and jewels, the golden sceptre of the kingdom in his right hand.
"Please do," said the Girl. The Harvester, with dog to heel, went to the oak to think. "Belshazzar, kommen Sie!" said the man, dropping on the seat and holding out his hand. The dog laid his muzzle in the firm grip. "Bel," said the Harvester, "I am all at sea. One day I think maybe I have a little chance, the next none at all. I had an hour of solid comfort to-day, now I'm in the sweat box again.
He stopped at the mail box, but there was nothing from the Girl. The Harvester did not know whether he was sorry or glad. A letter might have said the same thing. Nothing meant a delightful possibility, and between the two he preferred the latter. He whistled and sang as he drove to Onabasha, and Belshazzar looked at him with mystified eyes, for this was not the master he had known of late.
