It seems strange to think OF life In
Morocco under modern conditions. It's
/ mysteries. it's legends and it's customs
link IT so absolutely and indissolubly
with the past.

that Captain Whitney is supposed to
be engaged to Charlotte Marshall
when he is really in love with Mar
garet Clarke. causes trouble. But
a eventually the right afinities come to-
happy over the outcome.
u The man who creates the exciting
book atmosphere is Moor named Bu-
hammei. He Is the son by q dis
owned Berber wife OF the former Sui
4 tan Of Morocco. His father was, by
the treachery of an enemy, made to be-
lieve, against his will, in the unfaith-
fulness of Buhammei's mother. When
the Sultan forbade her to again see
her little son and turned her out OF
the dwelling and garden he had built
4 for her pleasure, she stabbed herself
/ to death at her husbands feet. Her
old nurse snatched up her nurselins,
the prince before the very eyes Of
the astonished Sultan and, before he
1 could interfere, climbed the wall with
the boy and disappeared. In reality
the nurse took her charge to Paris,
where he was mainly brought up and
educated and where his identity could

built, as has been said. by former
