"What think yon of him, oh Ral snl, my aont" Inquired the Kaid, when the stranger had been con ducted from the council-chamber to the dungeon-like guest-room which - had been allotted to him, "and what aid you to him In hla own tongue f "I spoke to him tn BnglUb," re siled Ralsul.

Messen ger chosen by you, of course." "And you, my friend? Bpeak your mind fully and frankly," aaid the Kald, turning to the Seflor Pedro Mallgnl seated next to and slightly ;below him. i "Undoubtedly he la our German, and undoubtedly the genuine agent," waa the prompt reply. "Invaluable. ;My friend the German consul at Tangier sent me a photograph of to fellow, and aald. In the cover ing letter, that hla Information from the Frledrlclistrasse was that be had started. That would about tally with hla arriving now. "And then, of courae, he has the password," he continued, "and that waa known to no other living per ion but you, the consul and myself. Oh yea, he'a genuine all right, and you can have complete confidence In him. "Let mt aea the picture again," aid the Kaid Abd'allah Karlm. "Ye, that la undoubtedly the am man," ha continued, after careful study of a portrait, bearing the nam and addresa of the Ger man photographer, which Seflor Pedro Mallgnl produced from the leather oaae which ha alwaya car ried about hla person. "He aaked tor nothing for himself which ta a little suspicious," ob trved the Kaid, whose natural bablt It waa to Judge othera by him elf. "No need to do ao," the Sedor assured him. "He'll get something for hlmaelt, all right" "Bribes, commission, pickings, do you mean?" "Well, well." smiled Mallgnl, "perhaps. But I waa not thinking of that. What I meant waa that he'll get hla reward In hla own country, from hla own employers. Honor, promotion, payment. If he la suc cessful here If he foment trouble among the tribes, and helpa yon to wag euoceesful war against the Wench." "I am to be the wasp that atlnga the band of Germany'a enemy aa fa 1 about to strike, eh!" smiled the Kaid. "Or aa he la about to defend him elf," agreed Mallgnl, "So," murmured the Kaid, and aat awhile In thought. "Hare you any worda to utter, Mahommed All el Amln, the Trustworthy, the Re liable?

I know nothing of policies and plota, nor of the use of worda that have two meanings, and my opinion la of no worth; but I tell you this, oh my master that man la a soldier, a fighting man. If he deny It, ho Is a liar." "There 1 no denial nor pretence, ob Mahoume All el Amln," th Seflor Pedro Mallgnl aasured him. "The man Is no mere messenger. He la an officer of the army of the Gertnanla, and -haa fought In thla country of Africa where he learned Arabic and the waya oi the people." "It It well," said Mahommed All el Amln, and fell silent. "And shall we hear your voice, ob son of my old and faithful friendf" Inquired the Kaid courteously of Jules Mallgnl. "For I am told that, though young, you are a man of learning,- wisdom, and understand ing." "How should I apeak worda worthy the attention of auch a on aa th Kaid Abd'allah Karlm and in th presence of my father and thee wit men!" waa the modest reply. "But, even aa Mahommed All el Amln th Trustworthy, the Reliable, knows that thla man la a soldier, so I know that he is a German. Speaking to blm In French, aa one whc knew no German, I received a reply In French, and It was the French of a German. He Is, with out a doubt, a German, though 1 can say nothing else about him. "But what need?" he added, "since my father can and haa hla photograph, hla password, and the statement of the German consul that such a man was being sent from Berlin. Surely his description and the photograph prove It, and ob viously bo could not hava obtained the chosen password by guile." "Surely," agreed the Kaid, strok ing his beard. "Very well. Relying on th plighted word of my friend and adviser, the Sldl Pedro Mallgnl, and on the wisdom of my counsel lors here present, 1 will trust this man and accept him for what he ap pears to be. But be shall remain with ua until we bare the money and arms. And, Indeed, until the fghting la over, 'since he la a soldier. "Doubtless he would fight for us?" he continued, turning to Mallgnl. "Doubtless," agreed that gentle man. "Of a certainty. He would willingly take command of your ar tillery, or of your cavalry, or of such portion of your Infantry forces aa you choose to put In his charge. They are great soldiers, these Ger mans, and this man knows all three branches, and could command and manoeuvre a brigade of all arms-" "You know much of him," ob served the Kaid. I talked long with him last night," replied Mallgnl. "Almost till th dawn, we talked." "And be convinced you that he oould do all thlsT" "Completely. He can drill and manoeuvre your cavalry, and lend a cavalry charge tba' will aweep away your enemies. He knows the ranging and loading and firing of the guns that will come; also the care of them; and will train your gunners to handle them ao as to blow your enemies to Hell. "He can drill and train your foot men and form them In regiments so that, tn addition to being the mar vellous marksmen that they are, they will hav th discipline and steadlnesa of the French them selves, yea, of the French Foreign Legion." "Would that we could Set a tew of those fin warriors, those desert lions," mused the Kaid. "They would be worth their weight In minted silver. One or two of them hav com to me, hav served me well, risen to rank and honor, and died In battle. Two or three I have cap tured In battle. But none of these prisoners would fight for me against the French, and slni aa alavsa they are not worth their keep, we had a little merry sport with them." Dropping them from the walla on to the hooka, eh, my father?" laughed Ralaul, After bringing them fac to fac with a doien deaths," chuckled the Kaid. "Would that I had a regl- ment of them, willing to tight tor me against their former masters." "So many and very many mora. you shall hav, oh my father," promised Ralaul. "Willing volun teers That I awear to yon by the Beard of th Prophet A gift from me to you." (Copyright. 1MI, r. A. Stokes Co.)
