THE ADVENTURES OF MAAROOF.
[Beine one of the least-known narratives of
the thousand and one nights' entertainments
devised by Queen Shahraza.l of delectable
memory for the diversion of the King. Retold
for the young readers of The Call from Lane's
. rsion of the tales as printed from the manu
script collated and corrected by the Sheykh
Abd-er-Rahman Es-Saftee Esh-Sharkamee.
Although one of the most delightful of all
• -o narratives, the story of Maaroof is
usually omitted from popular collections cf
these tales, possibly for the reason of its great
length, as it contains in the original form
-mething over 25,000 words. The story
i- of Egyptian origin and shows ad
mirably many of the amusing foibles
of Oriental character. The opening al
ventuws of the unfortunate cobbler are a de
lishtful satire upon the peculiar legal customs
that prevail in Oriental lands to the present
day. With a view to stimulating a new inter
est in Oriental classics The Call will print from
time to time a number of these ancient tales,
gathered from various sources and retold with
the desire to retain to the furthest possiDle
decree the literary flavor and local coloring
that make them valuable, but bearing in mind
the fact that life is short and that the bound
less leisure of the Oriental narrator does not
obtain in the Occident.]
There was, in the guarded city of 10,1*3
a man named Maaroof, and his business
was that of a mender of old shoes. And
he had a wife whose name was Fatimeh,
and the people of that city had nicknamed
her El-Orrah by reason of the wickedness
of her evil and mischief-making disposi
tion, and she had dog teeth.
Now, among the events that happened
to this man through the malice of his wife,
it chanced that she one day said to him:
"O Maaroof, I desire that you bring me
this day some kunafeh (a kind of cake
fried in butter) with bees' honey, and if
thou come not with it I will make thy
night unfortunate for thee." So he replied,
"God is bountiful!" and he went forth
with grief displaying itself in his person,
for he had not iv his possession the price
of the kunafeh. And when he had per
formed the morning prayers he opened his
shop and sat therein until midday, but no
work befell him. Therefore he feared his
wife, meditating upon his lot if he returned
without that kunafeh.
And he closed his shoo and became per
plexed concerning his case, and he passed
t.>y the shop of the seller of kunafeh with
his eyes filled with tears. Then the seller
of kunafeh said to him, "0 master
Maaroof, why weepest thou?" And he
said, "My wife is a virago, and hath de
manded of me kunafeh with bees' honey,
but not even the price of bread hath be
tided me, ami. I am in fear of her." s Upon
thifl the seller of kunafeh laughed and
said, "No harm shall befall thee. How
much dost thou desire %" And he said, "Five
pounds." So he weighed him five pounds
and said to him: "I have the clarified but- j
ter, but I have not bees' honey. I have,
however, drip honey (syrup made from j
cane sugar), and what will be the harm if
1 give it to thee with drip honey?" And
Maaroof was abashed because the dealer i
was to wait for his paying the price. He
■ . refore said to him, ''Give it to me with
honey."
And he took the kunafeh and departed,
-vine for him and praising God for his
mess.
Then lie went to his wife, and she said
to him, "Hast thou brought the kunafeh?"
And he set it before her. So she looked at
it and saw it to be with drip honey and she
•c in a terrible rage and said : "Did I
I say bring it to me with bees' honey?
a it that though bringest it to me
with honey of the sugar-cane?" And he
apologized to her, saying, "I bought it
not save on credit," but she threw it in his
face and ordered him to bring her other kun
afen. She then struck him, knocking out
one of his teeth, the blood flowing down
. - bosom, until by: reason of his rage
he struck her one slight blow. Whereat
f-he seized his beard, crying out, "O Mus
lims!" The neighbors, therefore, entered
and rescued him and reproached her, say
ing: "We all like to eat kunafeh that is
with drip honey. What is this oppressive
conduct toward this poor man? Verily, thil
is disgraceful!" And they effected a recon
ciliation between them and departed. But j
f-he swore she would eat naught of the kuna
feb and ceased not to revile him until morn
ing, when she tucted up the sleeve from
her arm to beat him, so he said to her: \
"Grant me a delay and 1 will bring thee ]
some other kunafeh."
After he had said his prayers he opened
bia shop and sat, when two officers came
and said, "Answer the summons of the
Kadee (Judge), for thy wife hath com
plained of thee." And he said, "May God
send trouble upon her!" Then he- arose
and went with them, and saw his wife
weepinp, and with ber arm bound. So |
the Kadee said to him: 4 'o man, dost j
ii»t f<ar God, whose name beexalted? j
How & it that thou beatest this, wife and |
breakest hpr arm and dost these deeds j
unto her?" And he said, "Verily, the
M and 80, and the neighbors made
peace between me and her." And he
stated the case, and the Kadee pave him a
quarter of a piece of gold, and desired him
to purchase for her other kunafeh, but
Maaroof said, "Give it to her." And he
did so. And the Kadee made peace be
tween them, and they went forth recon
ciled, and he went to his shop and sat
down. Then came the twoofficers and de
manded their fee, and dragged him through
the market to take it by force. So he sold
his tools and gave them half a piece of
and sat sorrowful because he
had no tools with which to work, j
Then came two other sergeants to |
him and said, "Arise! Answer the sum- j
mons of the Kadee, for thy wife hath j
complained against thee," and this was j
another Kadee before whom they took j
him. And when he saw his wife he said, ;
• ; .iisiiigeniious woman! Have we not
made peace?" And she paid, "There re
maineih no peace between thee ami me."
Then he related to tbe Kadea his story
nnd the Kadee said to her, "0 impudent
woman. Wherefore has thou come com
plaining to me?" and she said, "He beat j
me after that," and the Kadee said, "Make \
peace with eath other." Then he charged
them that they treat each other kindly,
and said, "(jive the sergeants their fee."
(ttnffly Maaroof gave them their fee
and returned to his shop.
And while he sat a man came and said: '
"0 Maaroof, arise! hide thyself; for thy
wife hath complained of thee to the Bub-
I curt and Aboo-Tabak is coming
down upon thee." Ho he rose, closed his
and Bed. And he had remaining
from the Bale of his implements but the
I :i little bread and cheese, and lie j
bought these as he fled from her. And he j
went forth ana it was raining, for it was j
in the winter season; so he entered the I
The Adventures
OF MAAROOF
! mosque Adileeyeh and peeing a deserted
j cell in a ruined place, he took refuge there,
i weeping and bemoaning his lot.
While he was sitting weeping, 10, the
wall clove asunder, and there appeared be
fore him a Jinnee, the haunter of that
place, and said <.to him: "O man, what
alleth thee? Acquaint me with thy de
sire and V will accomplish thine affair,
for compassion for tliee hath touched my
heart." So. he acquainted him with all
that had happened to him with his wife.
Whereupon the Jiiyiee said: "Dost thou
desire that I convey thee to a country
whither thy wife shall know no way to
come?" And Maaroof said yes. Accord
ingly he mounted on the jinnee's back,
andthe Jinnee flew with him all night, till
he sat him down upon the summit of a
high mountain, and said: "O human
being, descend from the top of this moun
tain; thou wilt see the threshold of a city.
Do thou enter it, for thy wife will not
know any way by which to reach thee. "
Then he departed.
Maaroof was in a state of confusion and
"AND HE CONTINUED TO GIVE TO THE BEGGARS WHO CAME UNTIL HE
HAD EXHAUSTED THE THOUSAND PIECES OF GOLD."
perplexity, but when the sun arose he
descended the mountain and beheld a city
with high walls, lofty pavilions and deco
rated buildings, a delight to the beholders.
He entered the gate and the people gath
ered about him, diverting themselves with
the sight of him. And a man of the city
said to him, "O man, art tbou a
stranger?" He answered, "Yes." He
said to him, "From what country?" He
answered, "From the unfortunate city of
Cairo." The man said to him, "Hast
thou quitted it long?"' He answered
him, "Yesterday, in the evening."
and thereupon he laughed at him and
called out, "0 people, come and see this
man, who asserteth that he came forth
yesterday from Cairo." And they laughed
at him and said, "Between our city and
Cairo is tbe space of a whole year's jour
ney." But he replied, "I am veracious
in my saving, and this is bread of Cairo
that "hath not ceased to remain with me
moist." And he showed them Che bread
and they diverted themselves with looking
at it, and said one to another: "This is
bread of Cairo. Divert yourself with the
sight of it."
And while they were in this state, 10, a
merchant advanced to them, riding on
a mule, and behind him were two black
slaves, and he railed at the people for their
conduct in thus treating a stranger, and
said to Maaroof: "Come, hither, O my
brother. No harm shall befall thee from
these. Verily, they have no shame."
Then he conducted" Maaroof to his own
home, and clad him in a dress lit for a
merchant possessing a thousand purses,
and Maarooi was a comely person,
so that he became as though he
were Shah-Baudar (chief) of the merchants.
After that the merchant asked him his
name, and when Maaroof had told him
and that he was from Cairo, he said,
"From what quarter?" Maaroof said to
him, "Dost thou know Cairo?" and the
merchant Baid, "I am of its sons." And
he further said, "Dost thou know the
Sheykh Ahmad, the druggist," and he
said, "He is mv neighbor." And the mer
chant said, "What hath Goa done with his
children?" and he answered: "It is thus
and so with the two elder; and as to
Alee he was my companion, and we used
to enter the church of the Christians
and steal the books and sell them. But
it happened once that the Chris
tians laid hold of us and complained
to our families and his father gave him a
beating, and for this reason he fleci, and he
hath been absent twenty years and no one
hath given any tidings of him."
Upon this the merchant said, "He is
myself and thou art my companion, Maa
roof."
They saluted each other and after the
salutation Maaroof acquainted him with
the history of his wife, Faiirueh El-Orrah,
and the manner of his coming out of
Cairo, and the merchant Aloe said:
"In the country where no one knoweth thee
do whatsoever "tbou wilt. I will teach thee
how to act." And on the morrow he gave
him a thousand pieces of gold and put nim
upon a mule, and a slave walked before
nim to the market. And when the mer
chant also saw him he arose and threw
himself upon him, saying to him, "A
blessed day, O Merchant Maaroof, O man
of good works and of kindness!" Then
he kissed his hand before the merchant
and said: "O cur brothers. the merchant
Maaroof hatb delighted you by his arrival."
They therefore saluted him, and the mer
chant Alee proceeded to go apart with
them, one after another, and praise
Maaroof, saying: "Yes, indeed, he is the
greatest of merchants and there existeth
not any one more wealthy than he, for
his wealth and the wealth of his fathers
and his forefathers are notorious among
the merchants of Cairo." Then they
came together to him and presented
him with food for breakfast and
sherbet. Even the Shah - Baudar of
the merchants came to him, and
saluted him, and the merchant Alee said
to him, "0 my master, probably thou

hast brought with thee some of such kind
of stuff?" and Maaroof answered, "Abund
ance." For the merchant Alee had that
day shown him the various kinds of costly
stuffs and told him the names of the
; stuff, dear and cheap, and had instructed
him to say that he had come on in ad
vance of his caravans of goods, and when
; his merchandise should arrive he had of
all goods abundance. Then one or the
! merchants said: "O nay master, hast
j thou with thee yellow cloth?" He an
; swered, "Abundance." He said, "And
j red of gazelle's blood?" He answered,
: "Abundance." And every time one
asked him respecting anything he an
swered, 'Abundance." And while they
sat. 10, a beg<?ar came round to the mer
chants, and most of them gave him not
aught, until he came to Maaroof, who took
i for him a handful of gold and gave him.
; So he prayed for him and the merchants
wondered and said, "Verily, it is the gift
jof kings." And after a while there came
i to him a poor woman, and to her he gave
a handful of gold, and he continued to
i give to the beggars who came, until he
; had exhausted the thousand pieces of
gold, when he struck hand upon hand
in grief. So the Shah-Bandar of ttie
! merchants said to him: "What
aileth thee, 0 Merchant Maaroof?'
land he said: "It seemeth that the
I most of the people are poor, and if I had
! known it I would have brought with me
in my saddlebags a large sum of money;
but I have now with me no gold remain
ing; therefore when a poor man cometh to
me what shall I say?" He answered him,
"Say to him, 'God "sustain thee. : " But he
replied: "It is not my custom. Would
that I had a thousand pieces of gold, that
I might give alms until my merchandise
1 arrives." So the Shah-Bandar of the
merchants said "No harm," and he sent for
one of his dependants, who brought a thou
sand pieces of gold and gave to Maaroof,
who proceeded to distribute it among the
poor who came to him. And the people
prayed for him, and when toe second
thousand pieces of gold were gone he in
clined to another merchant and obtained
from him 1000 pieces and distributed
them, and the merchant Alee was observ
ing his actions, but could not speak. He
ceased not to do thus during the day, and
they closed not the gate of the market
until he had received 5000 pieces of gold
and distributed them, and to every one
from whom he received aught he said.
"Wait until the merchandize shall arrive
and I will recompense thee."
He ceased not to do thus for the space
of twenty days, until he had received from
the people 60,000 pieces of gold, and there
came not to him merchandise nor a burn
ing plague. So the people were clamorous
for their money and said to the. merchant
Alee "The merchandise of the merchant
Maaroof hath not yet arrived," and he said,
"Be ye patient, for it must arrive soon."
Then he sought Maaroof and said: "0
Maaroof, what are these deeds? Did I say
to thee, 'Toast the bread, or burn it?'

Verily, the merchants are clamorous for

And he said: "What will be the conse

this the merchant Alee said : "God is most
great! Hast thou merchandise? And he
said, "Abundance." And he said: 'Al

turpitude! Did I teach thee this saying
that thou shouldst utter it to me?
And he left him in anger, but dared not
shame him before the merchants, for he
said within himself, "I praised him before,
and if 1 blame him now I become a liar,
as it is said, 'He who praiseth and censur
eth lieth twice." And he became perplexed
regarding his case. Then the merchants
repaired to the King and acquainted him

was rilled with amaze at the recital, for
the merchants ceased not to speak of the
generosity of the merchant, Maaroof, who
had distributed to the poor the GO.OOO

the merchants. And the King sent for
him and caused him to be brought before

KOMANCE OP A WIG.
A Very Simple Trick That ICiuled in a
Tragedy.
A tragic ending to a comic scene has re
sulted in the heroine of the adventure be
ing conveyed to the hospital in a very pre
carious state, while the hero is securely
under lock and key at the depot of the
Prefecture of Police in Paris. The whole
affair turned on some silly fun and stupid
horseplay about a wig. A young man had
been fascinated by the attractions of a
girl a few years his junior and had asked
to be permitted to pay his attentions to
her, but she was by no means disposed to
return the compliment, as he had become
very bald through illness, and, as the ob
ject of his affections concisely put it, she
would never dream of marrying any one
with no hair on his head.
The youth meditated over hisdiscom-.
fiture, and then a happy thought flashed
upon him. He would repair the ravages
of unkind nature by a recourse to art, and
forthwith he wended his way to c hair
dresser's shop and became the deliehted
possessor of a wig with curls and lovelocks
and elaborate partings in front and behind,
which, as he fondly hoped, would produce
the desired impression on the heart of the
obdurate young woman.
Thus adorned he proceeded that evening
to a restaurant where she was dining witli
some friends, but to his horror she not
only burst out laughing when he appeared
on the scene, but presently made a dash at
the wig, which she tore off, revealing his
denuded head to the astonished gaze of the
party. v
The youth endeavored to wrest the wig
from her grasp, and so, tinding herself
hard pressed, the fair maiden passed it
over to one of her companions, who tossed
it to the other side of the room, and then,
as, iguorantof the fact, he still struggled,
she dealt him a slap in the face.
Beside himself wtth disappointment and
wrath, the young man snatched a knife
from the table, and ere the spectators of
the scene could interfere, he stabbed the
girl in the neck. Cries of dismay now re
sounded instead of the peals of laughter
which had hitherto rent the air as the
young woman fell fainting to the floor.
The police were summoned, ani while the
youth was led off in custodj' the girl was
taken to the shop of a neighboring drug-'
gist, pending her removal to the hospital.
It is feared that she will not recover.—Lon

ADVERTISING IS BOOMING.
Chicago ltesults.
Every advertising agent testifies to tb,e fact
that more advertising is going out this fall
than was ever Itnown before. The boom in this
line, after the dullness of the last two years, is
something wonderful. The advertising of food
products is contributing largely to this. This
is a line of advertising which has only been de
veloped during the last few years, and the held
is so great that it promises to exceed medical
advertising.
