damsels were ranged ready for in:
spection in the marriage market.
There they face the visitors. separated
from the noisy part of the fair, ranged
in four separate rows and numbering.
l should say, between 600 and 700.
Each damsel is seated on small,
bright colored carpet spread upon the
ground, and each has negafa-a sort

ously displayed in front of each, more.
eyer, is big roll Of woven stuff. This
roll of material plays an important
part in the marriage negotiations, and
is always woven by the girl herself.
The young women are attired in the
most expensive and richest gar
ments the parents and relatives can
secure.
They are painted, patched and
powdered, as is the invariable custom
Of Kabyle bellies, and wear sufficient
rings, bangles, bracelets, chains and
brooches to stock a small-sized jewel.

any means always the property of the
girl or her friends. In fact, they are
mostly borrowed or hired for the oc.
casion. AS there is good deal OF
rivalry between the different deheras
and kebails in regard to the appear.
ance of their damsels in the marriage
market, there is no difficulty in getting
on loan as much ornament of the kind
as the girl can carry on her person,
especially If she is at all good looking.
It is not easy for stranger to decide
upon the beauty of the Berber maid,
for she tatoos the face as we'll as
paints it.
How is sale and purchase effected?
In the simplest way imaginable. The
would-be buyer has only to walk up
to the carpet upon which the girl he
wishes to own is seated, touch with his
finger the roll of woven stuff in front OF
her and ask the price. If the young
woman, on looking over the inquiring
tribesman, is satisfied with him. she
names very low figure, the small sum
Of ten pieces, which is agreed upon
among the several clans at the equiva-
lent OF acceptance.
If not, she merely quotes a high
price, something up in the hundreds,
and it is then understood that the Of
fer is respectfully declined and a deal
is not likely to be effected. The actual
money price to be paid for a girl de-
ponds upon the standing of her family
and the kebal to which they belong.
It is fixed, moreover, by immemorial
usage, so that every young man. knows
pretty well what he will have to pay
for wife. Hence only those who have
the requisite means can venture to
make an offer for any lot placed on
view.
1t should not, however, be supposed
that these young Berber beauties are
by any means prepared to yield them
selves to the first come who can afford
to pay the recognized equivalent to the
parents. Kabyle women are anything
but the docile and obedient drudges
many western readers imagine. They
enjoy good deal more freedom, in
many respects, than European wife
in a like rank of life. They unques-
tionably rule the domestic roost. and
know how to use the wooden clogs, the
kabkab, with convincing effect upon
the bare pates of their spouses.-Lon-;;

NICK CARTER was making for

his horse could carry him. The
horse in question was an excellent
one, yet the possession of it made
Dick extremely uncomfortable, not
to say nervous. For the horse had
belonged to Scotty Farrell until the
evening before, when Dick appropri-

eccentricities are not looked upon as
jocular in the southwest. Dick
learned that lynching party was

haste to get out of United States
territory. Now the foothills were
only a short distance ahead. Dick
