performed a luovemeut which lie has been taught 

 to luake, he was caressed and iiiven oats, lie is 

 incited to do it once more as lie expects aneAV ca-

Immediately after Darius had agreed with the 

 Satra[»s liis companions, that t\w liorse which lir^jt 

 neighed should decide who should be king, he sent 

 his horse to the place agreed upon the day before,

 following day on arriving at the place agreed upon, 

 his horse neighed forthwith because he remembered 

 tlie mare he had seen there the day before.

 him, but the second time he grows extremely exci- 

 ted and rebellious as soon as he sees the bottle 

 brought out. The bottle became associated with 

 the medicine which he was forced to take.
