And he would throw off his al- legiance to France. He would use those troops for his own ends. He would lead them into this country, lead them here to Mekazzen city and place them at your disposal, my father"
 By Allah!" cried the Kaid. He would? He would? And you have brought this about, my son? I can not believe it
 NO" he continued, "and if he 1id-what would be his true and hidden intention? What would he hope to gain? No. It is trick, I say.
 On his part! On his part, I mean, my son, he added hastily.
 What would he hope to gain, oh my father? Power. Wealth. Free dom. Relief from the bonds of irk- some discipline and the restraints of the slow promotion that will not make him a great and powerful man until he is an old and feeble one.
 As I showed him-by careless remark and casual hint-he could rise in day from the rank of ma- jor to that of general, field-mar- shal, commander-in-c ief, if he joined you, bringing a well-armed, well-equipped force with him-and found favor in your sight.
 And in truth he could be to you what kaid Sir Harry Maclean was to the Sultan-and much more. In one brief campaign he could make you Sultan of Morocco. In another he could sweep the French and Spaniards into the sea. In an- other reconquer Algeria-with the help of the countless hordes of the Bedouin of the Sahara.
 Then Tunisia. And how long would the Italians resist in Tripoli with the Senussi helping in their overthrow? The English in Egypt that once great English people that now lets it's Empire fall to pieces how long? Then Africa for the Africans !. Islam united The Holy War against the Infidel at last :"
 Led by this French officer, my 'on?" interrupted the Kaid.
 Led by you, oh my father-at the head of an army trained and dis ,iplined by this French officer, and drilled by the soldiers he will bring with him"
 7"And who will control him-even when he is but commander-in-c chief 'f my present army, and has de- eated the Sultan and conquered Morocco in my name?"
 T will, oh my father" was the prompt reply. T will control him. And when he has outlived his use ulneSs, or his gratitude, his hum ,le allegiance :" iRaisuli drew his hand suggestive y across his throat. The Kaid nodded, smiled again md Stroked his beard.
 "A great and battle-Scarred boar ,f the mountain forest once in- Tited lion of the desert to enter nto his secret grove and into hunt ng partnership with him." ob- erved the Kaid. The lion of the iesert agreed, and was led to the 'ecret grove of the boar of the :. They entered into a partnership that day-and that light when the lion felt hungry, he boar entered into the lion"
 You have spoken, oh, my fath- r." smiled Raisul. For you are he lion. This officer shall enter !, nto your den and into a hunting partnership with you, and when he time is ripe, you shall eat him lp."
 The Kaid sat silent for a few minutes, while Raisul watched him.
 Suddenly he laughed his famous hearty laugh.
 Let him come, my son." he said. And let him bring all that he can bring but let him bring his command piece-meal, detachment y detachment, and not as a con- luering army Yea, let him 'one, and let him go again-when Allah wills"
 T do not think Allah will decree hat he go again, oh my father" miled Raisul, and, rising, respect ully took leave.
