FL Hadj does not know how many
women stay behind the harem doors.
Constant change through gifts from
lesser princes and explosions for
minor attractions of harern rules
keep the number changing.
Has Enormous Palace
About three hundred concubines
besides four legitimate wives dwell
in the harem at present.
There are fifteen legitimate chill
dren and between $50 and 200 chill
dren of the concubines.
Ell Hadj is an implicit believer in
the Koran'S teaching that every
man is. entitled to marry as many
women as he can support. And
since the pasha has an enormous
palace, reminiscent of an Arabian
Nights" tale, and inestimable wealth,
he is able to do as he wishes.
The pasha is a warrior, one. of
the greatest in Islamic history. He
has power of life and death over
100000 people and supreme power
in half of Morocco.
Rebuke to Tourists
Ell Hadj is not a man of wide
learning as weSternerS consider
knowledge.
He never heard of America until
the World war, but he formed his
opinion OF it shortly afterward
when two American tourists gained
admission to his presence.
When one of the tourists was
ready to leave he pressed a S100
bill into the pasha's dark hand.
Ell Hadj summoned a slave and
demanded pair of scissors. He
carefully cut Franklin's picture
frcm tine bill and threw the rest
away.
'1t is pretty picture of a good
philosopher" the pasha said to
the tourists. 81 will keep it, but

The paSha admitted to this COR

come" he said. ''Tell Americans
they can come to Morocco in secur-
ity. We never harm a guest"
Devoted to France
Morocco has been under French
protectorate since the World war.
FL Hadj believes the protectorate
has been of great benefit to his
country and is fond of the French.
He drew a favorable picture of the
present industry and prosperity of
his people in comparison with pre-
protectorate days.
But his devotion to the French
and his regard for other occidentals
has not convinced him that their
customs are better than his.

sonally, I believe the time viii not

It was Khan Zade who appeared in this
manner to Timur-she who had been the bride

men, he had taken her into his house.
Lord Timur," she cried. "of thee ! seek pro-
lection and the justice Of Q king"
Khan Zade's husband was no longer living
he whom Timur had loved and had looked upon
as his successor. BY the code OF the Tatars,
the throne should now revert to Miriam Shah.
the eldest living son.
RUT Khan Zade sought the succession for her
own sons Fearless, she stood before Timux.
And he did not delay Judgment. To Khan
Zade he gave what she had lost in property
and new retainers to serve her. and he paid
her the homer due to the wife Of Jahangir.
Although he had Just come I'm from o hard
journey, he ordered his officers to prepare ut

There. after he had investigated the havoc
wrought by Miriam Shah, he condemned his son
to death. The high amirs intervened-even
they who had suffered at the hands Of the
wayward prince. Miriam Shah was brought be-
fore his father, o rope around his neck.
And Timur consented to let him live; bat all

Timur advanced to put down the rising. Manstlr

"By Allah" he was told. "they are saying
that some who carried big shields and heavy

ing their families to the foe"
Enraged by the taunt, Mansur wheeled his
horse and led his men back along the road
In desperation he now hurried his cavalry
against Timur. Some Of his regiments fell
away In disorder, but 1000 broke through the
Tatar array and gained heights I'm the rear.
Not content with this, he charged back at

Others came with fuller stories, grim enough.
Before meeting the Sultan of Delhi the Tatars
had massacred, they said, hundred thousand
captives. They had broken the army OF India
in battle, and had taken Delhi.
So Timur made his eighth triumphal entry
into Samarkand: He was now "a years of age.
Although his body seemed as vigorous as ever,
he had been struck down at times by illness:
his mind was as alert as in middle age, but he
was given to long silences, and his temper had
hardened All his life he had been troubled
by an inward conflict The faith of his devout
father, the law of Koran-these influences were
in conflict with the heritage of his nomad an

as If he reverted to the code Of the nomad.

that was always carried behind him; but the
lance bearer had been beset and had gone OF,
taking the weapon with him. Before he could
draw his sword, Mansur rode against him.
Twice the Persian prince slashed with his
sword at the Tatar conqueror. Tin,ur bent his
head, and the swords edge glanUed on the
steel helmet sliding harmlessy down his mailed
arms. Timur kept motionless in the saddle,
until one of his bodyguard thrust shield over
his head. and another dashed his horse be-
tween the daring Mansur and his foe. Mansur
turned at last to escape. but was hunted down.
It was the end Of resistance in Persia.
The conqueror now turned his attention to
the adornment Of Samarkand. This city had
been Thurs dream. He had never been too
deep in q campaign to overlook any materials
or works Of art that might beautify It. The
white marble Of Tabriz, the glazed tiles OF
Herat. the silver fligree work Of Bagdad, the
clear jade Of Khoten-it was all here now. No
one knew what would turn up next, because
no one but Timur had hand In the planning
of the new Samarkand. He loved It. At this
time he went on plundering India to enrich
Samarkahd.
While he was away, revolt simmered along
the Caucasus, and the Sultans had reoccupied
all Mesopotamia. II BY any chance Timur
should be defeated In India! Thurs people
were 90 accustomed to victory that nothing else
was looked for. Had not the army, $4,000
strong gone down the Khyber pass, and built
q bridge across the Indus? Multan had fallen,
and now Timur moved against the Sultan Of
Delhi.
One morning word spread swiftly through
the square. The couriers message was known.
Had not the citadel guards searched all night
because Of It?
'"The message Of our Lord was . command,
to put to death Shadi Mulkh."
All Samarkand wondered who Shadi Mulkh
might be, except the few who knew, among
them the old general Saif ad-Din.
This eldest Of the amirs had brought back
with him from Persia . black-haired girl not
long since. creature with the fun eyes and
white skin Of the harem-bred. And Khalil,
the youthful son Of Khan zade had been In
toxicated with her beauty. Stirred by the pas
sion that filled his life, he spent his hours ut
her feet. He dreamed OF q marriage In state
before the grandees and the royal princesSes
But this request Timur had refused instantly,
and had ordered Shadi Mulkh to be brought
before him. Frightened, the girl had fed, or
KhaM had hiGS.n her. and then the army
had gone on.
