"KAnD" MACLEAN

There are many who will remem- Der, with regret, the greatness that was attached to the name of "Kaid' Maclean, the adventurous Scotch sol dier who, when last heard from about three years ago, had settled in Aus tria and looked on, while his country went to war.
 The story of the adventures of the ''Kaid", whose name otherwise is Sir Harry Aubrey de Maclean, K c. M. G., c. M G., sounds much more like fiction than fact. The "Kaid,' if he is still living, will be seventy-four years old today. As a lad he entered the British army, and while on duty in Gibraltar visited Malta, where he met the then Sultan Mulai-el-Hassa Mulai was very much impressed by Maclean, and offered him a job as in- structor of the Moorish army, with the rank of colonel in the Sultans Bodyguard. From that time on, and for thirty years after, Kaid Maclean was prominent in Moroccan affairs He quickly rose to be commander-in- chief of the Sultan's army, and for years wielded an influence second only to that of the Sultan himself FAn "inidel' Presbyterian, he ruled with a rod of iron an army of about 50,000 fanatical, Christian-hating Moslems. When Mu1ai died, Maclean became the real ruler of Morocco, all though sMulai's son was the nominal head of the government. In 1901 the Kaid was knighted and decorated for Ii 4N
 ment. In July, 1907, he was cap- tured by the bandit Raisuli and held a prisoner, suffering the most cruel treatment, for seven months. He was released when he was almost dead of starvation on the payment of a ran- som of $100,00o.
