Anaeer Of AfgfaniStan Annenes
Occidental Wife and Automobile

The story OF a curious freight sys-
TEN for automobiles and OF what is per-
haps the most romantic order ever re-
ceived by an American automobile man
ufacturer comes from the Maxwell. 2ris-
coe Motor Company, and is told ~ Ben
jamin Briscoe as follows;
Two years ago, when his royal high
ness, Habibulla Khan, the Ar1eer Of
Afghanistan. had returned TO his native
land from a prolonged trip 20 Europe,
he took with him not only much valu-
able knowledge concerning the peoples
and customs Of old Europe, but also
an infatUation for a beautiful Ameri-
can woman. whom the Ameer CHANGED
20 meet In Paris.
An invitation for a visit followed and
was accepted with the result that the
Ameer. though already a much married
man. persuaded the American widow to
become a member of the royal house
hold OF Kabu. Some eight months ago.
the Maxwell Briscoe Motor Company
received an order for one OF their tour
ing cars from a Paris house.
The order was unusual in that il de-
manded the car TO be shipped diHsem-
bled and 10 be accompanied by q COM
petent mechanic who was to assemble
the automobile as soon as It reached
its destination. The order was prompt
~ accepted and the car shipped to
ConstaI tinople, where It was reship-
ped 10 Baum. on the other side Of the
Bosporis. From there the cargo trav-
eled by rail across the Caucasus noun
tains, arriving at Baku. whence IL was
shipped across the Caspian Sea TO
Krasnovodsk. At this point the most
difficult part OF the journey began. for
the Ameer had decided that in order to
protect the car from the depredatons
OF TIE fanatic tribes il should be load
ed upuc the backs OF camels, and thus
carried across the desert Of Kara-kIm.
The route was a trying one, since It
became necessary for the camels 70
