NTacI can not only kept his hold but in
PRODUCED relatives into excellent posi-
lions. Thus he had his brother Alan
made British consul at Oar ell Baida
CCasablanca) after that gentleman had
acted as commandments of the i'm
peria1 transport for some years.
BY this time the British government
began to see that MacLean was man
to be reckoned with, so an intlmat1on
was sent down from Tang1er to Fee by
Sir Arthur Nicolson, the British minis
ter, delicately limiting that Downing
street would like to confer some dec
Grafton on the power behind the Moor
ish throne. Accordingly MacLean re-
paired to London and was given k
G. NJ. G..
Not long afterward domestic troubles
began to make themselves manifest
and eliminated in the divorce of Lady
MacLean, whose life in her beautffuI
villa outside of the walls of Tangier
was said to be gay, but hardly discreet.
Her daughters, by the way, are nearly
always with their father at court
whether in Fee, the northern, or Mar
raksh the southern, capital or the EN-
nire. The ladies speak and write clas"
steal Arabic with a fiuency that Burton
himself might have envied: and when
ever they go on the street they are
yelled to the eyes like any other
Moslem women of high social rank.
ATacI,ean owns magnificent palaces
in both cities, though he has not occu-
MED the one in Marraksh for some
wears. This is because the sultan mas
not dared to leave Fee lest the pretend
err. who is said to be backed Win
French gold, should overrun the whole
of the rich northern provinces. More

rocco. and was a great seat of learning
\ a thousand years ago, when the MOOR

! of the Alhambra.
There is no doubt, however, that Sir
4arr, MacLean will shortly retire from
+ba Fascinating country to which ne
has given his life's work. He has
4 bought a splendid estate in Norfolk not
FAR from King Edwards own place at
Sandringham, and he doubtless feels
no IS entitled to end his days in a less
stranuous arena than that of Fee
whose ponderous gates are decorated
with erinning human heads that once
belonged to the enemies of the sultan.
