set 100 slaves free annually For many
reasons of late these customs have
fallen into dsuse.
Besides the slaves intended for the
pleasure of the master the dar-ei-
makhzen contains a certain number
of slaves who work in the kitchen Of
act as servants to the others. These
are often married to male slaves AMI
their children become the property
OF the master. In the sultan's harenl
at Maragech there are also ali the
cherifias of the royal family widows
divorced or unmarried.
The harem is great burden to the
royal budget. 1t is governed through
the intermediary of a harifa by the
Amin ell Kebir, who in this capacity
bears the title OF oukil erriab. Ac-
cording to general custom in Morocco
oukil enriches himself at the expense
of the unfortunate women who, though
they belong to the prince, often lack
the necessaries of life. have some
times visited minor harems of per-
sons who had followed their sultan 10
Fez, leaving behind the greater part
of their households. These women
suffered terribly. Their food was in
sufficient, the gardens were full of
weeds and the walls were in ruins.
These harems cost their masters for
tunes, and the oukil keeps the lion S
share of the money he receives for
their maintenance.

Sales Openly Made.
These sales, as l have said, take
place quite openly in the market, ac
cording to certain laws. The market
is practically a state institution.
Before the sale the merchants take
the slaves before the khalif, or vice
roy, who authorizes the transaction
This rule was made by Mulai Hassan
father of the present sultan. During
his reign a large number of white
women we're sold, but so many COM
plants were made that he decided to
authorize only the sale of negroes
and half-breeds, and no sale is valid
without such authorization.
Until the time of Mulai Hassan this
slave market was the source of an
enormous revenue to the sultan, who
took one-ffth of all slaves as his
share, and when one sees the large
number of boxes around the square

commits SlOneri
All Ages.

Women, children, youths and grown
men are driven permiscuously into the
boxes In most cases they make no
attempt at resistance. They know full
we'll that they have nothing to say,
and that they will be sold whether
they like it or not. Little by little the
square is filled up by purchasers. En-
erybody tries to get the best place to
obtain a good view of the slaves. At
last the commissioners arrive.
The market is opened with SOL
emn prayer. Standing near the en-
trance gate with their hands to simu-
late "the Book" they place them
selves under the protection of Sidi
bel Abbes, the patron of the town, and
in loud voice recite the 'Fatiha," or
first sourate of the Koran.
1t reads: praised be Allah, Master
of the universe, the lenient, the mer-
ciful the Ruler on the day of retribu-
ton. 1t is Thee whom we adore, it is
Thy help we implore."
When the invocation is over, each
commissioner, or dellal as he is call
ed, takes charge of the lot of slaves
entrusted to him A hasty toilet is
made, consisting in removing the most
filthy rags and replacing them by
nearly clean clothes. This enhances
the value of the ware, and the sale
begins.

square in all directions, followed by

A Harenl.

Nobody can imagine what a harem
is like nor form any idea of the enor-
nous number of women kept prison
ers within it's walls. / have visited

over An ordinary citizen owns a
score of slaves. Monogamy exists no.
where, and those too poor to own
slaves are dreaming only of the day
when they can possess some Volup-
tuousness and love of luxury are the
vices which have brought about the
degeneration and decadence of the
Moroccan people. These vices de-
prived the race of its one-time cour-
age and pride.
The sultan shares the vices of his
people. His harem is fantastic beyond
all imagination. Besides the women
he has about him at Fez, he has a.
Marakech, in the dar-el-makhzen, a
reserve, 5000 women The royal har-
EN- at Marakech is a special institu-
ton. Every village, every tribe pays
tribute of women to the sultan, who
is a veritable modern Minotaurus. All
these women are kept separate and
classified according to their birth
place, each group in separate build
ing. Here are the women from OAR
el-Beida, there those from Souira,
there again those from Tadla, and so
on. Every group is under the super
vision of harifa, a kind of female
majordomus, who has the confidence
of the master and the full authority to
infiict any punishment she likes.
Slaves as Peace Offerings
Every time man fears the ang n
of the sultan, or merely wishes to
please him, he offers the sultan a
number of women, often his own
daughters. In this manner the number
of unfortunate women is almost daily
increased, and they are kept in a
prison, from which they are liberated
only by death.
The sultan, however, never sells
any Of his slaves. He has the right
to give them in marriage to his best

For many years no slaves have been
imported into Morocco by sea. Medit-
erranean pirates no longer chase I'M
fortunate vessels that have ventured
near the inhospitable coast of Mogh-
reb, but slavery still exists every,
where in Morocco. Marfakech is still,
as it was at the time of which V l.
taire wrote, the headquarters of this
shameless traffic In vain France for
bids slavery in all her African pos
sessions. But as long as numerous
droves of human cattle are driven in
to Marakech by caravans from Souss
and Tablet, the slave trade will con-
tinue.
The imported slaves are readily
sold either openly in the market or
secretly. The slave market is situat-
ed in the quarter of the aularines, or
druggists. Nothing is more pitiful to
see than this slave market where sales
are made in bright daylight under the
protection of Allah
Imagine an enormous open square
surrounded by large number of box
es. In the center is a covered gallery
under which the vendors stand IN
rainy weather A little before the
opening time of the market the slave
traders bring in their human merch-
andise, leaving the actual sale 10
commissioners.
