MOOrs Hope to Return.

Visitors to Tangler and other settle
ments of Morocco notice the keys that
are carefully kept in safety in the
houses of some of the families of an
cient descent. These keys belong to
the houses in Spain once occupied by
the Moors before their expulsion from
their homes many centuries ago. The
Spaniards occupy these old houses, but
the descendants of the Moorish owners
still guard the keys in the hope that
the day will come when they can return
to Grenada and once more resume con-
troll Of the property from which they
were driven by Spanish arms. Tang
ler is delightfully."- oriental, like leaf
out of the Arabian Nights. Nowhere
east of Damascus, it is said, do you get
such a good sidea of the Orient. One
sees the Cadi administering justice. In
the houses are the courts, with foun-
tains playing in the center, and all the
interior detail of Arabian architecture.
Tall jars in which the 'Forty Thieves
might hide stand in the houses.
