lit to have the mandate in the cotton

pealed. and the Supreme Court on Ap-
peals reversed the Judgment of the low

eral yesterday had for its object to ex-
pedite the trial of the criminal cases in

PROLOGUE.

Did you ever read a story in
which humor of the finest and
most delicious sort played the
leading part? Did you ever
tackle a tale which made you
gasp by the originality of its
ideas2 Did you ever meet some
utterly impossible persons who
never lived and never could have
lived and whom you might meet
any day of your life?
They're here, right here n this
story. They have the most i'm
possible adventures and get into
the most impossible situations,
just as you or 1 might any day
if the stage we're set just right
for US. Furthermore, they are
very entertaining people, and
they hold the interest from first
word to fins.

come from the south of Europe in IN

says. and. although their language and
customs are entirely different from
ours and their religion Mohaminedan.
they are probably closely akin by de-
scent. Blue eyes and fair hair are
not at all uncommon among the Ber-
bers, and many Of them have rosy
cheeks and features so like English
men that were they dressed in British
fashion they would easily pass as ma
tives Of the British isles.
