Excerpt from The Quest of the Four-Leaved Clover: A Story of Arabia, Adapted From the French of Laboulaye's "Abdallah"
In the wealthy city of Jedda, on the shore of the Red Sea, once dwelt an Egyptian merchant, hajji-mansur by name. During the Egyptian wars both armies counted upon him for provisions, arms, and camels and after a battle he always complained that he had ruined himself for the sake of the side that had won. It is true no one was a more zealous ally than he, nor could any one obtain so cheaply the spoils of the conquest. In this honest vocation the obliging Mansur had gained great wealth, though not without some embarrassments. The envious had denounced him as a spy; fanatics had abused him as a traitor; twice he would have been hanged had it not been for the kindness of a pasha who was will ing, for a million piasters, to proclaim his innocence. Mansur had too brave a spirit to be frightened by these political dangers. When peace was declared, he retired to Jedda only because lawful commerce was thenceforth the road which led to fortune.

Excerpt from The Quest of the Four-Leaved Clover: A Story of Arabia, Adapted From the French of Laboulaye's "Abdallah"
Arabia is to children a land of romance and enchantment. Its mysterious deserts with their half-obliterated trails and their passing caravans, its sunshine and color, its free, wild life, the swift passion of its children, always near the surface and ready to leap into instant action,- - these things appeal strongly to the mind of youth; for the Arabs are a simple people and their life has all the directness and vigor of childhood.
"The Quest of the Four-Leaved Clover" shows us the Arabian character at its best. It gives a picture of Bedouin life among the tents, and, incidentally, of city life in the bazaars. But, more than this, it gives a glimpse into the spirit of one of the great world religions that is yet but little understood in Christian countries. It shows the Mohammedan faith with its fatalism and its moral earnestness, and teaches the great lesson of service to ones fellow man. One cannot read the story without a closer feeling of brotherhood with all mankind, without a realization that life is only good as it offers opportunities for doing good.
