VERT well," observed the Kaid,
at the conclusion of the Inter
riew. "All la now clear aa the limpid
watera of the rlvera of Paradise,
and we understand each other, aa a
pious, learned, and true believer
anderetandeth the worda of the

marks In gold; four mountain runs,

to Instruct my gunners In the nae

"And you yourself to remain In
my country until full and complete
delivery of all things agreed upon,"
added the Kaid.
Bitting cross-legged .upon his
cushion, the big stranger bowed
low from the waist, his bead almost
touching hla feet
"It la agreed," he eald, and on
that happy not the Interview con
eluded. .
"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. "Spoke auddenly.
. you observed, and bad him reply
instantly In that tongue. He did ao,
auid with a marked German accent.
. Personally, I never trust any man,
oh my father, but I believe be la a
German and what he professea to
be. I aay keep him In this country
and let him aend what messages
. and messengers he will. 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

the Kaid.
"Or aa he la about to defend him
elf," agreed Mallgnl,
"So," murmured the Kaid, and

LOOK FOR THE RED TAPE OPENER

by Pereival Christopher Wren "Seaugesw
quiet, and a man of hla band. 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

Beard of th Prophet A gift from
