 Tn spite of the new French road between Rabat and Marrakech the memory of such tales rises up insistently from the level red earth and the desolate stony stretches of the bled. As long as the road runs m sight of the Atlantic breakers they give the scene freshness and life; but when it bends inland and stretches away across the wilderness the sense of the and thought that they had found it. and how the Spanish soldiers came upon them and took them down tc Santa Fe of New Mexico. where another surprise awaited them. Those were great days, and those were great men who adventured into the unknown west; and this is good time to remem- Der and honor them, for the mortality among soldiers and explorers then was as great as among the heroes of the Great War just ended, and they bore
