chiefs Of the Dervish tribes to come
to Paris to figure in her great $4,000

She steadfastly refused to pay them
the extortionate sum they now de-
manded to proceed further. and they
deserted. leaving her alone with her
native interpreter, without protection
from the semi-savage marauders.
Held Prisoner.
Mrs. Gouraud next fell into the
hands of small band Of which the
chief was a powerful Dervish named
Sango Tomo, and was held prison
er three days She attributes heE
eventual liberation to a charm repre-
setting Buddha which was stolen from
Hindu temple in the Indian hills
many years ago. This charm she has
worn around her neck since she was a
girl. on the fourth day Sango Tomo
espied the charm, and Immediately
salaamed profoundly.
When she perceived the unexpected
e1ect OF her mascot, Mrs. Gouraud
pointed to a number Of snakes tat
tooed on her forearm. The muscular
Dervish hastily spread q carpet on
the earth, and, kneeling down. bowed
his forehead to the ground Within
an hour the American captive was not
oEly released, but also provided with
an escort to the nearest center OF civ
ilization.
