Y guide's name was Mohgm-

med, and he was a renegade. He wore the funniest of bug- gy breeches, \vhich were al-

ways wsbbling from side to side, a boh- talled ’1`ui‘kiiih Jiiciret, slippers with their heels chopped oil' and ii red fer. perched upon the top ef his head, which wnn an bald :is the end of nn egg. le had ii wiclrcd siulrli on his face mid a malicious twinkle in his eyes, but for till that he served inc faithfully and cheated me only to thc extent ef 20 pi-r cent. Tlint was his limit, self sci. on all thc piircliziscs he inudo for me and thc bills of whntevei' sort hc contracted. If hc didn't get it out of me he took it out of the Jewish incrclnintn, who aiddcll it to the next lpiirr-lanse, so l nnide nothing by trylui; to buy nt cut rates when Mohi1mme'd wus not around.

I picked him up at thc Biib ei Sok,

tho great market place of Tnnglcr, while haggling for n omtchlock with ii barrel dght foot long and is slick- ersnoe, or hand forged knife, with hlado two loot in length adorned with inlay or uraliolqnan. I wanted them both, but the prices were way out of reach, so I was about to leave them there when Moliniuined appcnrcd on the scene. le hnd been eying me from n oornn' of ilie great wiill the while, hiding his time.

I had cx- pr-csscd u great desire to go on n curli- vnn journey, but had changed my -mind on account of hearing that the Iledoulns of tho Atlas mountains were prowllng around the foothills nud gniliorlug; in si-ery stranger in sight.

"Yos. ihat right," admitted the truth-

ful` Mohammed, “but bandit -don't touch this caravan because it protect- cd."

"Why not?" I naked. "It oa.n’t be

much of a nhow if ll iln't Worth while for the robbers to 'touch' it, seems to nie. Don’t think I care to go."

Hr¢§i rind- being stripped to ifotliing “more tlinn the liiw nllows" they pro- claimed that they mount to do some rnpld riding und perhaps some illegal plundering. It was none of my busi- ness, of course, as they treated me well enough, but I soon _leiirned that they were actually engaged in n “raz- ziii." or robber rnid_ nmong the shep- herdlng Arabs of the foothills and that the pretense they hnd mndc of going to Fez was to~tlirow the sultnn's sol- dlers 'off their guurd.

All went well. however, during the

l tuchment of our men came in from an lull night raid, driving before them a

time I was wlth_tlicm, and when on the morning of thc fourth dny n do~

flock of several hundred sheep, I siiid nothing, but there was no doubt as to how the rascals got those sheep. W'e were then encnmped in a grove of co- coa pnlmn that, ndorued an oasis within n nmnll valley surrounded with high' hills, upon the crests of which our sen- tlnels were posted. i An my robber friends had taken good care to select for their "razzla" n de- fenseless community that could not make reprisals in short order, it was in

I peace sud quietude that they prepared

to celebrate the outcome of their raid nnd nt the same time, as it chanced, tho ndvout of Christmas day. This

- latter was not, of course, the result of

intention, but it happened that-the natal day of the Nazarene fell due colncldently with the Mohnmmedau fes- tival of Jebraiel, tho nrchungel, and the pious vlllhinn “laid themselves out” for the biggest kind of festivity.

Within our "douar," or camp, com-

posed uf black and shaggy cnmel's hair tents there' will no turkey or goose or fowl of any sort,,but there were sheep galore. These the Bedoulns slaughtered by dozens and brought the gory carcasses to the csmpilres, where they were tnlren in hand by the cooks and pltchforked on long poles as spits by pntlont Ariibs, who were bent over ulmosi double for hours at ii time. Wrapped in their "haiku" und. bur- nooses, with the pointed hoods hung-

_iug downtbeir backs, they appeared

like u lot of old women pottei-lug over

the tires, but through it all they mlm- tained nn nir of dignity, and if any one had questioned their capacities they would have whipped out their long knives and have carved up an ifr- gument with neatnesa and dispatch.

There was no table, and we weve

seated around the ure in n large cir- cle-Irst the chief men of the tribe, including their guest, then the inferior members, and lastly several concea- tric circles of leun and mangy cur_s, which 'were snarling and fighting all the time over the bones we threw to them. The Bddoulnn' anger nails e curved and sharp sl sclmitars, vox’ hnd no trouble in reuding the ribs of_ lllolp sport and tearing ol! huge mouth- fuls, which disappeared an if by magic. Besides the meat we had hlg dishes

old chief pnwed out some of the choice bits nnd, before I knew what lie was nbout, crammed them into my mouth. As this wits considered the highest honor un Arab could bestow upon ri guest I made ii pretense of liking it. but never experienced a hupplernio- ment than when nt lust a slave ciimo around with a bnsln of writer with which to luve our hands and boards, _proclaiming that the feast was ovcr.

“Now we go seo powder play!" ex-

clsliued Mohammed as every ‘adult Aruh took up his over present muskct, with bnrrel of iron or brass neverni feet longer than himself, nnd mounted his ilery, uutained steed, which _‘hnd stood all tho while snddled and bri-

,,dled close by. The powder play, or

“lab-cl-bands," is _n superb exhibition of horsemsnshlp to the accompani- ment of n rattling musketry ure and _deinoniac yells from half ci-used men. In reality it is ii sham ~buttle, and when the Bedouins, having galloped oft to tho edge of the onsls, came charging buck in n`wlilrlwind of dust and with tho. thunder of 200 hoofs. yelling like fiends and ilrlng off their lguns promlseuously at the sky, nt the lground and in every direction around

gem. 'I certainly thought the men of

o foothills hnd descended in a body

for revenge.

I nought n tree at once. 'Mohammed

declared I skinned up it. but he got me down before any of tho Bedoulns naw ine, fortunately, they were so drunk with excitement.

“Allah 'l Allali; el hnmadu, l’illnh

Alla-li,” they shouted in gi'nin_l chorus- "God, 0 God; prnlscil hc the God of

heaveu"»b_iit even with those pious ejnculutions on their lips the inndlod- oulnsi looked less like nniutn than devils let loose from the nothor ro- glous. They were black with powder smoke; their gallant nteeds, among them some of. Araby's best barbs oi incalculable`vnlue, were docked with foam and blood, but the “play” was kept up for nu hour, during nil the time of which an old Ethiopian from Timbuktu nat quietly beneath n palm and sawed away at nu aboriginal vio- llti.

At last, spent and__qulvering, the

horses were reined _up on their haunches in front of tho camp, but scarcely had their masters dismounted than there was a great outcry: "They come, théy come to avenge the i-suis! Mount and meet them, men!" Before they had mounted, howover,‘it wal’ discovered that those approaching were the soldiers from Fon, by whom I was to be escorted. They were about 100 in number and-had been out col- lecting the |ultnn'n hill. _ “How much did they get?" I asked Mohammed after wodnd arranged for

returning with them to»'1‘_nn(i:§. _"How much? Oh, you in n how muy: -wen, not muy; 'seur'aitssn.” answered-Mohammed carelessly. “Whnt, doiiarsfl ~ _“!€_o,-iléntis. _Tltore they nlsrln tbl! heip.
