:
The question came from the man
who was supporting me above the
crowd, whose body was shielding me
from the pressure Of that heavy
weight Of humanity. The query
came in voice knew well; more than
once had it comforted me in danger,
most of all as tragedy seemed to close
about time.
"Morrisonw I exclaimed. And !
put both arms round the dear old de
tective's neck. With Daddy Lori
mer's good friend, Daddy's daughter
in-law was &c in any emergency.
"That's int! Hold tight! Now
you're safe, Mrs. Bobw
"Morrisonl Don't help me! Help
Ann. She's in therer'
But Morrison did not catch the
dreadful import of my words.
"Ain't it just like that little pep
per-pot to follow a crowd into trou-
Bile? ask you, amt it?" was the
detectives amused comment.
"But don't worry, Mrs. Bob! The
foremen are driving EN- all out, ana
she'll come along, with the othcrsr'
"But she can't, Morrison! She's
locked up in a cell!
"Whazzat you say?" Morrison
naumbled III his amazement. Then
he handed me to a uniformed com
panion, muttcred "I'm taking no
chances" and dashed through the
thinning procession into the burning
jail.
By this time the frcmen, police,
deputy sheriffs and a few men il
right there. All letters are mailed
en- street. cars or in tobacco shops
and every house is a patoo, that is
the main living room is open to the
SKY and the floor is Of marble. All
the rest of the house is built around
it. Everything is built for summer
and not winter Cur hotel hadn't a
sign of a fire place or stove and We
were cold studying for three hours
at time
We ate Christmas dinner at the
best hotel in Seville, but alas, no
turkey. The day was beautiful and We
hired a Ford for an hour and rode
around at a total expense Of 2t
cents each. Christmas eve night
we went to the cathedral al midnight
and saw the Christmas mass with
its bells, incense and ceremony.
Tuesday, Dec 28, we left Seville
for Granada which was the last
stand Of the Moors before the Span
iards. 1t held out about two hun
drcd years after all the others with
the Alhambra as. the keystone. The
AIhambra resembles in many ways
the Alcazar at Seville. Both are
cid Moorish castles and fortified
tons. There is nothing like them in
the world in the architecture ana
coloring. They show you with much
pride where Washington Irving wrote
in his little room there
After leaving Granada, we went
to Algeciras and Gibraltar headed
for Africa. The Spanish are fight
ing some Moorish tribes and we
wanted see what we could in Moroc-
CO. Besides, we hated to be that
close to Africa and not see it, or a
little of it. Most tourists go to Al
giers but the American consul told
us that if we wanted see something
Of real Africa to go to Tetuan. So
we went there
We passed Gibraltar as the day
was breaking and the big rock was
quite show That's all it is, just
a big rock with a good sized town
at its base.
1t is not more than seven miles
across the narrow STRAIT Of Glbral-
tar to Africa.
OFF 10 Tetuan.
We disembarkcd at a little port
town and caught & train to Tctuau
which is the farthest inland town to
which trains run in that part OF
North Africa The town is entirely
Moorish with some forty-iive thous-
and Moors and five thousand Span
ish. The Spaniards captured it 5
years ago.
We arrived just il time to sec the
Sultan of Morocco himself. We were
lucky as Friday is the only day he
in public and then only to
ride some fifty yards from his mos.
