<br>THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, By Rudyard Kipling<br>
<br> Brother to a Prince and fellow to a beggar if he be found
<br> worthy<br>
<P>The Law, as quoted, lays down a fair conduct of life, and one not easy to follow. I have been fellow to a beggar again and again under circumstances which prevented either of us finding out whether the other was worthy. I have still to be brother to a Prince, though I once came near to kinship with what might have been a veritable King, and was promised the reversion of a Kingdom--army, law-courts, revenue, and policy all complete. But, to-day, I greatly fear that my King is dead, and if I want a crown I must go hunt it for myself.</P>
