the Sultan of Morocco continues. Having

Mulai Hafid is taking a savage revenge.
Not content with torturing men by hav-
ing their hands and feet cut OF and the

by ordering the teeth of all the captured
women to be drawn.
But he reserved. his most ingenious tor
lures for Blu Hamara or FL Roghi. the
pretender. Blu Hamara has been con-
fined In cage which was placed inside a
tent which he used while wandering
about the country. and public exhibition
was made of the prisoner daily.
The sultan, thinking Blu Hamara had
large sums of money deposited in foreign

torture the prisoner into making him sur

toned the prisoner. who declined to DO
business with any one but the sultan. to
whom he declared his willingness to hand

foreign representatives in Morocco.
Mulai Hafid refused to look at the mat

his prisoner and did not intend to let

to that end contrived a devilish torture
for the unfortunate prisoner. No one bur
