There are many more of these can

one. At tho end of the sixteenth cen

dustan ever saw, was at the heli-ht
of his glory. At the head of hi. con
quering army he summoned Ahmad
linger to surrender. The city and lta
rich treasure were then under the rule
of the Princess Cande. Knowing that
resistance could be but short, and Id
bitter rage against the oppressor, aba
caused nil the treasure of gold and
sliver to he melted down. She cast
the metal Into cannon balls and en
graved upon ench maledictions against
the conqueror. These were flred into
the Jungle ond when Akbar entered
the city. Instead of the rich hoard he
had hoped to win, be found a treasury J
, nosoiutciy empty.

upon which cannon bnils of gold hav.
