of Morocco. She was comely of face and
figure, with large, dreamy, lovely eyes,
and streaming long black hair Her
color was of the Ollvian type, which
shows the red blood coursing in the
veins. She was of medium height and
aged about sixteen years. -Four old Arab
dealers" CARRIED in all the glitter and
tinsel of the Orient, guarded this girl as
if she were an Amazon of strength and
proves. One old Arab in q loud voice
cried out her merits and nationality as
the group passed on to the center of the
town. Hating, the whole party were
suddenly surrounded by intending
buyers, both Christian and Pagan. They
came up to the crouching girl, pulling
her arms to and fro, opened her mouth
and looked at her teeth, made her stand
erect, and then haggled over the price
" She worth $780," say the Arab dealers
in one simultaneous cry, "but will let
her go for $50 if you take her now" Our
dragoman translates and tells us how she
will go to Egypt and fetch $500 at first
bid. SIN.
