ABSTRACT
No single story can be told of him without at once provoking still another story to refute it. The subject of these stories, and of many drawings, paintings, and statues, for which many much more famous men might envy him, died more than thirty years ago, but there is still no end of him. They even made a movie about his Arabian war exploits, and were he still alive, he might have volunteered to write the script and serve as technical adviser, at the same time ridiculing the whole project, which would remind him of times and things of which he would no longer wish to be reminded.
