| When he reached a lonely spot, he pulled the old lamp out of his breast, and, to make sure that it was the one he wanted, rubbed it. Instantly the genie appeared and said: "What wouldst thou have? I am ready to obey thee as thy slave, and the slave of all those who have that lamp in their hands, both I and the other slaves of the lamp." "I command thee," replied the magician, "to bear me and the palace which thou and the other slaves of the lamp have built in this city, with all the people in it, at once to Africa." The genie made no reply, but in a moment, he and the other slaves of the lamp had borne the magician and the entire palace to the spot where he wished it to stand. Early the next morning , when the Sultan went as usual to gaze upon Aladdin's palace, it was nowhere to be seen. The Grand Vizier was summoned to explain it. In secret, he bore no good will to Aladdin, and was glad to suggest that the very b uilding of the palace had been by magic. The Sultan was persuaded, therefore, to send a body of his guards to seize Aladdin as a prisoner of state. When he appeared the Sultan would hear no word from him, but ordered h im put to death.
