During that month he remained at
Laran, as he called the place, superin-
tending the improvements that he had
projected. He had purchased the land
and fenced it with an impregnable
steel fence for several acres around
each entrance to the cave.
During his absence, Laport had gone
over the entire place with a subordi-
nate who appeared to be familiar with
every part of it. They had set out with
lanterns, ladders and other appliances
which were loaded upon couple Of
Rocky mountain burros that Laport
found in the place.
Through the alley or corridor that
led from the rugged space at the en-
trance, Laport noticed that the coal
measures showed themselves on both
sides. The passage opened into vast
room almost circular and with q vault
ed roof Its superficial area was at
least three acres and Laport corld not
resist the impression that it had been
at one time an incandescent bubble
that had cooled without breaking. He
stood in the center and threw the light
into the space above. A few stalactites

now filed with sand, went forth
cargc es of wheat, which kept Quiet
the turbulent populace of Rome. From
Morocco came the best horses used on
the European post routes and in the
cavalry which hung on the wings of
the legion. Morocco was then no doubt
rich and prosperous, which is
more than it or its people have ever
been since. For a time, during the
Saracenic period, Morocco was a seat
of learning and industry. There were
Moslem universities at Fee and Moroc-
co: there was an enormous trade IN
leather, the manufacture of which was
unknown outside of this corner Of
Africa; there was an immense business
done in ivory and furs and gums and
slaves with the vast and, until lately,
unknown interior south of the Sahara.
Twice year caravans with thousands
of camels threaded their way through
the painless sand to the south, carry
ING to the Soudan what Morocco had
to sell, and bringing back what Moroc-
co wished to buy. Caravans of equal
size crossed the Sahara toward Egypt,
starting eight Or nine months before
the great festival at Mecca, and trad
ing their way slowly to the Red Sea
and Mecca. These business expedi-
lions, on the former scale of greatness,

pie are as healthy as dirty savage
ever are. More than that, they are
gCod-looking, and many of the women
are beauties. In the north they are
yelled in compliance with the law as
laid down in the Koran, but in the
southern parts Of the empire they are
much less particular. and the tourists
often speak of their beauty. It is not
civilized beauty. but the loneliness
of the desert: a beauty adorned with
strings Of silver coins; beauty best
set Off by the soft colors which predomi-
nate in Oriental fabrics: a beauty which
has nothing of the intellectual about
it, but is purely sensuOus. They are
the earthly prototypes of the hours,
which every true believer expects to
have as his personal attendants when
the gates of paradise have closed be-
hind him. They do not seem fit COM
panions for the tierca-looking, warlike
men, but the latter, to speak the truth,
are far fercer in appearance than in
reality, and though armed with flint
locks seven feet long and half dozen
pistols, which cannot hit anything,
they will rarely attack civilized trav-
elers, save in overwhelming numbers,
and even then with caution. for expert
ence has taught them the immense
superiority or the rife and revolver
over their own inefficient weapons.
Although lying in sight of Europe
and at the doors of European com,
merce, Morocco, owing to its Govern
ment. is still in the dark ages. It has
remained SO from the fact that Chris
tendon has not been able to come to
an agreement as to the disposal of its
territory. When an understanding is
reached, Morocco will be placed under
a stable form Of government that will
enable the people to resume something
of their ancient industry and regain
something of their ancient prosperity.
The forests, the mines, the agricul-
tural resources of the country, are
only now becoming known to outsiders,
and as soon as stability in the form of
government is assured, and an eGuita-

lished, some European power-mo5t
probably England-will have prov

kind occurred near Tangier q few
years ago a native peasant by the
hardest toll raised little more than
100 bushels of wheat. AS soon as it
was garnered the Sultan's tax-gather-
err came along and took forty bushels
as the share of the government. The
local Kadi took twenty for district tax
alton, and the sheik Of the nearest vii
lage appropriated 10. This left the poor
farmer with but thirty of the original
100 bushels. A few days after the last
robber had paid his visit to the granary
party Of horsemen passed by and
loaded ten bushels into their bags
without so much as saying thank YOU
The unfortunate man lost no time in
concealing the paltry remainder Of
his store, and a few days later was
mercilessly bastinadoed by the orders
of the commander of q foot regiment
because he would not tell where he
had hidden it. Commerce is taxed
with almost as much severity. Every
transaction must pay tax Of q per
cent, usually borne by the buyer.
Day by day the Sultan's men make the
rounds of the shops in Tangier, Moroc-
co, Fee and other towns, investigate
the business of the day and demand the
taxes. Every handicraftsman must
pay tax for the privilege OF
entering on his calling, what

Followed the Band.

Hans Won Bulow, the famous leader
and composer, who died short time
ago. was an eccentric member of a
profession in which eccentricity is
common. While walking the streets
of Vienna one day he came across a
regimental band on it's way to the
castle.
Won Bulow ran to the middle of
the street and joined the small boys
about the drummer. Following the
band, he kept bowling to the surprised
drummer, applauding him at almost
every beat.
THAT is rhythm! Excellent. That's
the way I like to hear it," he
continued to calculate, to the sur
prise of all and the delight of the
small boys.
People in the streets recognized the
famous pianist and joined the process
sion, so that the band had one Of the
largest audiences to which it had
ever played. Won Bulow listened at
tentively to the end Of the piece, and
then made a deep bow before the
drummer and his instrument.
Thank you." he said; that was
refreshing. That Put my nerves in
good condition again"
When the drummer learned who
his strange admirer was, he was the
proudeSt man in the regiment.

sOever it may be, besides an
nual fees for license to carry it On.
And over and above these forms of
taxation, Of every subject is demanded
a yearly sum in the form of poll tax,
for the privilege of being allowed to
exist. According to governmental
ideas in Morocco, the only excuse a
man has for living is that he may con-
tribute to the Sultan's exchequer, and
whatever else he does or does not do,
he attends to. this with reasonable
promptitude, for he knows that ex-
cuses are of no avail; a failure to pay
at once: possibly imprisonment for an
uncertain length of time: in some cases
having his head cut off by the expert
enced executioner of the court, who
never gets out of practice through
lack Of work.
Thus it is that the people Of Morocco
are lazy, shiftless and improvident.
They have been made so by their gov
eminent. They have no incentive to
la bOr, for labor seems to be useless;
they do not care to be put to the
trouble of providing for the future only
to see the means they collect unscru-
pulously appropriated by a savage
soldiery. SO they pass their time as
pleasantly as they can, do as little
work as may be necessary to satisfy
hunger and the ever-greedy taxgath-
erer, and employ themselves in listen
ing to the street story-tellers, in watch
ing the snake-charmers, in smoking, in
Sleeping, in anything, in short, but
work. Under proper conditions they
would would work cheerfuny, and
when Morocco is placed under a civ
ilized government, as some day it will,
it's people will become as Industrious
as Orientals are capable of being, and
Morocco Will again, as it once was, be
an important productive country.
