This Is the story by Raisuli, the
Moorish bandit, written for a corre-

he became an outlaw:
Abdul Rahman, former basha OF
Tangier, was the cause Of my first
quarrel with the government. He OPP

that of my relatives and friends.
II am Of Shereefian birth and have In
my possession letters addressed to my
ancestors by sultans who owe their
throne to my people, comforting privi-
leges upon them and acknowledg-
ing their descent from the prophet
These royal letters the present sultan
renewed, exempting my family from
taxation and forbidding oppression OF
them. Rahman ignored these COM
mands, and was ever intriguing against
me and seeking to deprive me Of my
liberty. Finally he caused me TO be ar

What did l find? Not vestige OF

short interval departed for Arzila,
whose kaid, Absolam bin Abdul Su-

my greatest friend. He invited me to
live at Arzila and escape the jurisdic-
tion of Bargash.
II stayed two months at Arzila, eat

and the basha of Fee was sent to AL

A hundred men were sent to seize me.

fires of their discomfort, for still lean
ed to the side Of the government. My
recompense was another attempt on
my life. Rebellion spread, the roads
were closed and Arzila was besieged.
With the aid Of the shereefs induced
besiegers to depart. Arzila was
saved and peace restored in the noun
tains. This did, hoping that the for
eign representatives would see that
was a good man and not violent out
law.
What followed? Soldiers camped
near my village. I thought they had
come to investigate my claims. No.
They attacked my village, took me by
surprise and burned and sacked the
village. That was my reward. I was
forced to flee to the people Of my an
cestors, the Benz Aros tribe. A reward
was offered for me dead or alive, but
none were tempted. Soldiers moved in

when I saw how the people were
oppressed I went secretly to Tangier
and stole Christian, Perdicaris. This
did that Europe might know how

did not want open war with the gov
ernment, so l thought Christian the
best weapon. My idea and hope was
that Europe would investigate, for
know that Europeans are just and will
see that justice is DONE"

A BRAVE DAlRYMAlD.


BY Her Ready Wit and Nerve She
Saved the Title Deeds.
1t was astonishing how many sue
ceeded in battling pursuit from the
field of Culloden. The kilt gave great
freedom to the limbs. Most OF the
men were Injured to long marches and
could exist on little food. They knew
the passes through the hills, and the
best hiding places were pointed out to
them by the country people, who kept
them from starving and would give no
information.
A reward of 100000 was promised
for news that would lead to the arrest
of Prince Charles. Many knew where
he was, but no word ever reached the
camp or the garrison Of the victor, and
the prince issued through the midst
Of vigilant enemies and got away safe
ly to France.
The adventures Of the Jacobites
were numberless. This Is how dai-
rymaid saved her master: After King
Georges army had subdued the reb-
els they went through the country dis
possessing King James friends OF
their lands. A captain with band OF
soldiers was sent to take possession of
MacLachlan's land. They surrounded
the house and would not let any per-
sons out without searching them.
There was a dairymaid there called
Christine Sinclair, who was washing
the house at the time.
She knew the soldiers would try to
take the title deeds Of the lands and,
going to her mistress, said she could
save them.
What can you do, Christine?' said
her mistress. "They will put sword
through you IL they find you with the
deeds"
But the dairymaid insisted that were
the papers given to her she could get
them away through the midst Of all
the soldiers. At last the lady allowed
Christine to wrap the deeds In one OF
the cloths with which she washed the
floor. A dry clout or napkin, was Sc
lected and the paper wrapped up in
this. She put the dry cloth inside one
Of the wet clouts she had used and
wrung 1t to make It look like the rest
She then put all the clouts in bask-
ct and went out to spread them to dry
or a green.
When she got to the door hostile
officer with a guard was standing
there. He stopped her and asked
What have you in your handsF
She let down the basket at his feet
and said to him, There 1t is for YOU
He took his bayonet and pushed the
clouts backward and forward with 1t.
When he saw what he thought was
nothing but a lot of wet clouts with
the water wrung out Of them he said,
You may lift them away with you.
Christine went to the green and
spread the clouts there, but took out
the title deed and, placing them In her
bosom, concealed them.
The soldiers searched the house and
made the lady take an oath that what
she said about ignorance Of them was
the truth. She could do this with
good conscience, as only Christine
knew what had happened. to them, so
the titles to the property were saved
