Persia and Arabia (Birth <strong>of</strong> Orion) 1879 B.C.<br />

Orion was born in the kingdom <strong>of</strong> Persia in the year 1879. He was the son <strong>of</strong> a rich merchant, who was killed in attack by a band<br />

<strong>of</strong> robbers when the child was about seven, Orion and his mother being captured. While the fight was still in progress another sma<br />

-ll caravan appeared on the scene, and its leader Sirius, the hereditary chief <strong>of</strong> an Arab tribe, seeing what was happening, hurried<br />

his men forward to the assistance <strong>of</strong> the travellers who were being attacked. He was too late to be <strong>of</strong> any use, for the fight was<br />

over before he could reach the ground, and the robbers got away with most <strong>of</strong> their booty, but left the orphan Orion behind-for<br />

his mother had been killed in trying to protect him. Sirius adopted the child and carried him with him on his travels which were undertaken<br />

for purposes <strong>of</strong> study. They had a happy life together for about ten years, but were then killed in a fight with some bedoin<br />

Arabs.<br />
