The Devil inclined his ear. "I call it WILD CAT!" THE OGRESS OF SILVER LAND; OR, THE DIVERTING HISTORY OF PRINCE BADFELLAH AND PRINCE BULLEBOYE.
In the second year of the reign of the renowned Caliph Lo there dweltin SILVER LAND, adjoining his territory, a certain terrible ogress. Shelived in the bowels of a dismal mountain, where she was in the habit ofconfining such unfortunate travellers as ventured within her domain. Thecountry for miles around was sterile and barren. In some places it wasc...overed with a white powder, which was called in the language of thecountry AL KA LI, and was supposed to be the pulverized bones of thosewho had perished miserably in her service.
In spite of this, every year, great numbers of young men devotedthemselves to the service of the ogress, hoping to become her godsons, and to enjoy the good fortune which belonged to that privileged class. For these godsons had no work to perform, neither at the mountainnor elsewhere, but roamed about the world with credentials of theirrelationship in their pockets, which they called STOKH, which wasstamped with the stamp and sealed with the seal of the ogress, and whichenabled them at the end of each moon to draw large quantities of goldand silver from her treasury.
