No Fashion in Dogs.
From Everybody's Magazine.

rrom MDBdZiHe.
There is no such thing as fashion in dogs,
despite the frequent spread heads"-"The
latest fashion in CANNES" 1.-THE new, fash
ionable breed" etc. These are printed
either because they are catchy or striking,
or else-and this is generally the case-the
"head" fits story inspired by some thrifty
soul, anxious to boom breed that dog
lovers won't cotton to.
If there were such thing as fashion In
dogs, in the sense of shift of liking from
season to season, one would naturally turn
to the Ladies' Kennel Club as guide and
leader. But while every member probably
takes lone more" peep at the mirror to see
that the latest creation in headgear is prop
erly tip-tilted, and to be sure that the frills
and furbelows and pleats and tucks hang to
q dot, no Worth or Louise can dictate to
her in her doggy propensities. In these she
is fancy free; and what is more, once q
woman makes her cnoice In dogdom, she
never swerves. Whimsicalities she has not.
SO far as dogs are concerned, and let those
who question 1t delve into the records kept
by the English or American kennel clubs.
Dogs do not leap into fashions circles be-
cause they match the family livery or
blend with the latest shades decreed by mil
liners. They become aristocrats and dam
dies because they jump bang into the hearts
of princesses as well as Cinderellas.

and above all things a patriot. He is the
Robin Hood of Morocco and the only man

A'Breize when he first became famous.
The sultan's soldiers pillaged and plundered
the village and the district round about.
They killed Raisulfs uncle, robbed Raisulis
men, burned their houses. stole their horses
and cattle, outraged their women.
"Raisuli appealed to the governor of
Tangier in vain. He sought redress from

took matters into his own hands and

wv orally happens that woman
can be found to do it. Such
an enterprise is the journey
lately made by a slight. delicate-looking
little woman from Tangier to Fcz through
a bandit-infested region of Morocco, by tor
tuous roads known only TO the natives, and
without armed escort of any sort
The heroine of this daring exploit Is Mrs.
Frances Campbell, the author of that fas-
chatting novel of child life, 'Dearlove," and
Of a book Of singularly fanciful and delicate
essays under the general heading, The
Measure of Life" Her husband. who died
some five years ago, was cousin of the

brother-in-law. BY marriage she is related
to most OF the other distinguished Camp
bells. who fill more columns OF Who's
Who?' than any other family in the United
Kingdom. But il is from her own ances-
tors she gets the heroic strain in her blood
for she is a descendant of Owen Roe
O'NeiI a prince of Ulster and a famous
rebel in his day.
Last summer Mrs. Campben's health
broke down after the strain of finishing her
"Dearlove,' and she went to Tangier to
recuperate. While there she made the ac-
quaintance of most of the diplomats who
are finding Morocco one OF the most in
teresting places in the word just now. A
large party of men and women had been
arranged to visit the court of the Sultan OF
Morocco at Fec. But alarmist reports were
received that Rasuli was on the warpath
and that Moorish brigands were prowline
around seeking rich captives TO hold for
ransom. In consequence all the members
OF the projected expedition backed out save
two-two women-Mrs. Campbell and her
friend. Mrs Mansell Pleydell.
The latter Is the wife of Col PIeydell an
Englishman whose love OF sport has caused
him to sojourn long in the land of the Sheere
han Sultan. There he made the acquaint-
ance Of Raisuli. the famous Moorish chief
who is popularity depicted as a cut-throat
brigand, living on rapine and plumber Col
Pleydell formed the opinion that he is q
much-maligned man, and became a warn
admirer of him. He earned Raisuli:
gratitude by championing his cause with
the British government when he was al
outlaw with price upon his head. When
Raisui heard that the colonel's wife and
pledged his word that so far as lay in his
power he would see to 1t that no harm be-

OF the rebel Irish prince pinned her faith

believe them Naturally, the powers which
are interested in acquiring control of Mo-
rocco-especially Germany-wish him to
be suppressed as preliminary measure.
1t is for this reason that such pressure
was brought to bear on the sultan that
he dispatched an army against Raisuli,
and after his stronghold had been shelled
the doughty chieftain was compelled to
seek safety In fight. But we have not
heard the last of him. 1t would not sur
prise me at all If he should some day be-

believe it would be met by holy war.

1T was due to no lack of courtesy on
his part, said Mrs. Campbell. 'Raisuli is
orthodox Mussulman, and as such is
forbidden to hold converse with 'Nazrni'
women. He is true to his faith as he is to
his word"
You have very high opinion of him.

How comes it, them that he has ac-
quired such bad reputation?"
That is part of the diplomatic game
which is being played in Morocco. Raj
suli is a power there. The Moors esteem
him because of his lineage--he is prince
of the royal house of Muls.i Idris and a
direct descendant of that famous saint
and still more do they admire him be-
cause of his character, his courage and

They were accompanied by seven servants
without weapons and took with them no
armed guards an unprecedented thing in
the wild region which they traversed, where
no man ventures without escort of SOL
diers. Furthermore. they broke the record
for Moroccan travel. Avoiding the beaten
track and riding hard from dawn to sunset
over bowlder-strewn bypaths, they made
the journey from Tanger to Fee in five
days, and were a little longer returning.
The German legation took month to do it,
travelling over much better roads, and the
American legation, far from maintaining
the national reputation for hustlng, was
six weeks on the journey.
Mrs. Campbell. who has just returned to
England, told me of some of her adVen-
lures today, and gave me glimpse OF the
inside of the situation in Morocco rather
different from that which has reached the
world through official channels. She saw
Rasuli, to whose protection she and her
party owed much, only once during the
| journey, but he made a profound impress
sion upon her. 1t was on the second morn
| ing after leaving Tangier, when they were
preparing to break camp. The ASS on
which the cook rode had bolted, and so
| much amused had Mrs. Campbell been
watching his efforts to catch the beast that
she had not noticed a small party riding
| along the river bank until it was nearly
| upon them.
