'old and expansive mind of Cadige and IA
lever would have been entirely submitted 81
o, had not her passionate love for her hus. a
band rendered her indifferent to every
pleasure but his presence. Certainly for a
a long time her lot must have been emf. h
nenuy happy, cut off by her position from a
all the strife and cares of the busy world, a
and living only for the loved one; secure a
in his undivided tenderness, human life {
could give no more. But the cup Of grief {
was preparing; they were rich, aud in a {
time Of famine had shared but too literally
their wealth with the suffering and desti-
tute; attention was called to their riches,
and they were marked for plumber. Then
as now in Tangier, in opposition to the
usual custom Of the East, the Jewish
houses are mingled among hose of the
Mahometans. Some Of them were in 1.-THE
neighborhood Of Cadige, some says she |
had Jewish tenants; at all events, she sent
money and bread to relieve the pressure |
of the prevailing scarcity, which fell with |
peculiar weight on that prosecuted people.
This, coupled with her husbands assocIa-
tons with them IN his wilder days, was
enough to bring upon his head the affect
ed displeasure Of the Bashaw, who was
glad of any pretext for plunderlng
him, and would have done so had
this pretext been wanting. On the
close of pleasant day Cadige, alarmed
at the prolonged absence other lord, dis
patched her household in search of him,
for he never was from home after the sun
set prayed. They returned with the intel.
ligence that he had been conducted through
/. the gates to the Bashaw's Castle, some
hours before.
Cadige was not woman to follow the
customs of her countrymen in such an
! hour; she did not fold her hands and say
l. Gods will be DONE when her husband
e was in peril. For the first time since mel
l. marriage she went into the street, taking
'e her way at once to the city gates. They
s. were closed for the night, and no prayer
a. or arguments could open them before tn
re morning. For time her fortitude SUM
