PIRATE AT HEART
Present-D Arab a Robber Like
His Fathers.
No Longer Employs Force, But Ger

The Arab is still a pirate at heart.
Though his methods have changed
since the days when the pirate states
or Barbary dominated the Mcditer-
ranean. he still has his eye on the
next mans purse. The willy old Arab
guide that Mr. Willard Price tells
about In Travel was in point of ayarice
and guile a worthy descendant Of the
ancient corsairs.
One evening, says Mr.. Price, while
/ was in n hotel at Tunis an English

my table. "Did you know that your

asked.

you will do well to keep him." said
the Englishman. "He has such
kingly manner that he can get you
into places that are closed to other
guides. But don't let him fool you
with any stories.'
Then he told me how Okba had be-
come notorious. A wealthy English fam
lily had come to Tunis in their private
yacht. The blood of Okba's pirate an
cestors at once began TO stir in his
veins. He borrowed some magnificent
clothes and CARRIED his imposing fig
ure in them. Then he went to the
rich Englishman and told him that he
was the son of the bey-for the hey

under the French protectorate.
"The hey has known of your COM
Ing" said Okba. land regrets exceed
ingly that it has been necessary for
him to leave the city. However, he
has requested that I personally con-
duct you through his palace and show
you the wonders of Tunis."
Anyone may go through the less
private parts of the beys palace, hut
the visitors did not know 1t. They
were flattered at the thought of being
conducted through the bey's own man
sion by the bey's own son
For two days the proud young 'heir
to the beydom" Toasted his guests in
the best hotels. but never in the pail
ace. He explained that the beys
brother had just died and that the
palace was in mourning.
When the Engishman was about 10
depart he said, rs there not some re-
turn we can make for your very kind
ness to us?'
"Your presence in our city is a more
than sufficient return" Okba replied
grandly.
But surely you will permit Us to
cover the bare cost Of our entertain
ment," and the Englishman prolfered
three hundred francs.
Okba was terribly shocked ana
panied. The Englishman, perceiving
how deeply he had pierced his hosts
sensitive soul made profuse apologies
The "beys son" gradually softcned.
IL pardon your error" he said at last
"and will let you do as you WISH but
not quite in the way you suggest. For
myself or my father l can accept moth
ing. But my father has a chest for
the poor"
The Englishman pressed into Okba's
hands five thousand francs "for the
poor"
When the hey learned that Okba'
had posed as his son he sent him TO
prison for three years. l remember
that when Okba took me through the
public parts Of the bey's palace the
guards continually joked him. Per
haps they were inquiring after the
