When Numlei observed how Kreimjur sorrowed in his loneliness, she pleaded with Vimruk to give him fl mate, and her pleadings were so sweet that Kreimjur imitated them, and music was born. Vimruk heeded Numlei, and he determined to make woman the loveliest of all creation. He made her cheeks softer and more delicate than the lily and the lotus blossom, her lips more tender than the night breeze, and her eyes unfathomable as the reflect- tions of the stars in the deep springs in Numlei's bosom. Then Vimruk placed the first woman in a beautiful garden of delight, and he called her name Orianne, because she was to live for love. It was in the garden that Kreimjur, hunting for wild game the next day, discovered Orianne, and he loved her, for she was fair of face and form. And it came to pass that Orianne delivered two sons, and the one, Veklus, became a keeper of the herds, and the other, Roskav, became a keeper of the fields. Now Veklus and Roskav likewise took wives unto themselves, though the clay tablets disclose notfrom whence came the maidens. Kreimjur counselted his sons in matters of how to live and how to love, because he himself was sagacious and e.vperienced, having traveled the land so far westward that he had almost lost sight of the tall tree in the midst of their garden home, and he had so ruled Orianne that she was still content to remain behind while he roamed forth in search of game. And Kreimjur, in all his sapiency, taught his sons how the sun swung around the earth and the stars with tiny bits of dust reflecting lightfrom the sun, which was the only body emanating light of its own manufacture. With auspicious intonations the father described the region. beyond the mountains, which he had never seen, but which he felt certain was as he pictured it. The sons imbibed the perspicacity fy' the old man. through the years and marveled at his wisdom. They doubted not that the earth was flat, for so it appearedq all matter was made of earth, else why did all things 607716 from it? And it came to pass that as the youths reached the threshold of manhood, the vicinity of the garden became heavily peopled, and so it was that Kreimjur taught his sons brotherly love and that they should do unto others as they would be done by. But one day when Veklus and Roskav saw their father slay a fellow man for trespassing on his property, they decided there were exceptions to rules, and they promptly killed all men who trespassed on their land. When they discovered they could gain property thereby, they sometimes murdered men who had wronged them not. And Kreimjur grieved, because his sons had departedfrom the righteous ways of their father. Now, after many years,
