BEWARE OF RAI8UL
THAT Halaul!" continued El Isa
Beth el Ala. "He ! without
conscience, heart, goal or bowel of
'companion. Ralsul fears neither
nan, nor beast, nor flsnd, nor Allan
nlmeelf. Ralsnl Is a devil incarnate,
and would spit upon the beard of
the Prophet."
"Her, Ladr Mother," yawned
Jules. "Let's talk about Ralsnl,
shall war
"I am talking abont Balsul."
, "No!"
'And I say, beware of Ralsnl,
Placate him, consider him, and
please him In everything. For, be
fore long, he will rule this Castle
and this town of Mekazzen and this
Country of the Gun and, some day.
he will rule Morocco.
"Even now, when orders are
given, the voice 1 the voice of the
Xald bnt the words are the words
C Ralsnl And Zalnub, his mother,
i Influence with him much In.
Iflaence. It the Kald ceased to In
dulge Ralsul, to obey Ralsnl; It the
Kald thwarted him In any matter
mson which he had set hla heart,
and Ralsnl decided that his father
pud lived long enough, Zalnnb would
(help RalsuL
I "If Ralsnl brought poison, saying,
iwlth that smile of his, This win give
tee Kald, my lather, wonderlnl
dreams long, long dreams,' Zalnub
would put It In his coffee, or his
irlne"
"Scheherazade, my soul, you're
getting morbid. These things posi
tively are not done nowadays.
Xou're old-fashioned, absolutely yio-
torlan."
1 have dwelt in the dark rooms
of this Castle for a quarter of a cen
tury, my son, and I . . ." .
"Want a change, darling. Ton
ant a week end at Brighton."
". . . and I know what 1 know.
Listen to me, Jules, my son, that
rpur days may he long upon the
aarth, and those ot your dear father,
my husband and lord, also. I say
to you now, and I say to yon dally.
tven though yon come to hate the
lound of my voice,
" 'Ralsul rules; beware of Ralsnl;
iffend him not; obey him, please
tlm and placets him.'"
"And why all this fuss, Just now.
h, my mother?"
"My son, never be a knave, bnt
, h, ten thousand times, I say, never
M a fooL Listen. This Ralsul, your
ousln, the son of my brother, is not
pnly the greatest of knaves but so
lever that he thinks all other men
are fools. H thinks yon are a fool.
Be made a fool of you last night He
made yon drunk."
"Well, that amused me more than
It did him," smiled Jules MallgnL
"Did ltr Inquired his mother dry
tr. "Well, he made yon drink, tor
your father, watching, saw. And In
that, my son, yon were a fool."
"I certainly gathered In a head
and a mouth my love, ud that was
a foolish thing to do."
"That Is nothing ..."
; "Oh, la It?"
' "Nothing, and less that nothing.
Tou were a fool In that you let
Ralsul make a fool of you. iou let
Ralsul get the upper band and take
the higher ground. It Is not tor sul
tans to make vlslers drunk, and
mock them and despise them, and
got the better ot them.
"It la for vlslers to make sultans
drunk and bend them to their will;
obtain mastery and Influence and
power over them; make sultans sign
what vlslers have written; make
sultana say what viziers think; It
is for vlslers to guide them and
lead them and drive them and ride
them, as the weakest man can ride
the strongest stallion, or the swift
est cameL
"Let not this Ralsnl make you
drunk again, or 111 will eome ot It
great 111 In great matters, as well
as little 1U In little things."
Lady HI Isa Beth el Aln paused In
the torrent of her speech and In her
fanning of her son.
"A little 111 hath already befallen,"
he said quietly.
"It yoa call this head "a little
HI' . . ."
"I don't call It even that, my son.
A far, tar worse 111 than that befell;
for that pale English girl, yonr wife,
Insulted and angered Ralsul, our
master; Ralsul, In the hollow of
whose hand lie the fortunes of your
father and yourself and me."
"What?" cried Jules, suddenly sit
ting upright on the divan.
"Yes, you may well ask. Now yon
are taking some notice ot what I
say. Through yonr drinking this
bet eH. Had yon been with yonr wife,
as yoa should hare been. It would
never hare happened. Not only did
she Insult and anger and thwart
Ralsul, she actually threatened
him.
"What, think yon, is the fate ot
those, and ot the family ot those,
who thus offend great powerful
sheikhs and kalds and sultans?"
"What happened?" asked Jules
MallgnL
"Oh, yon know what Ralsnl la.
Can't leave any girl alone. Not
that they want htm to leave them
alone. That Sara! Ton keep her
out ot Ralsul's way."
Jules Malign! laughed.
"He's a great lad," he said again.
"Tes, and he'll be a great sultan
some day and you can be a great
prime minister, Tiller, chief coun
cillor ..."
"Keeper of the king's conscience
and treasury what?" laughed
Jules. "The latter would be mora
worth keeping."
". . . yea, Governor of a great
Province, a fat province, yielding
twice the taxes that the governor
has to send to the treasury," con
tinued El Isa Beth el Aln. "All de
pendent on the countenance and
favor of this Ralsul some day. And
meantwhlle, your wife must quarrel
with him, Insult him, threaten him.
Would you believe that she came
and asked me to lend her a knife
to stick in him? Think ot it I"
"But what happened?"
"Why a certain fool got drunk In
front of the man whose respect he
should keep. Cot so drunk and In
capable that his own father said
It would ba wrong to take him to
his wife's apartment and let her
behold his shame. Thus was his
wife left alone with none to protect
her, or to give her good counsel, or
to keep her out ot mischief. So she
got Into mischief. She Insulted and
angered and threatened her hus
band's patron and employer, the
source of his wealth, his honor and
his future greatness."
"Wll yon tell me what happened,
before I . . . ?"
"I am telling yon. The fool'a wife
a far bigger fool unmindful ot
her husband's happlnes and wel
fare, behaved according to her
folly."
"I suppose yon mean young Ralsul
went to give her a cousinly good
night kiss, and overdid It, and got
his face smacked?"
"It Is all very well to put It like
that It's ail very well to make little
of It but It's a very serious matter
as you'll And out my son. All very
well to say, with a laugh, that Ralsul
got his faco smacked; but people ot
Ralsul's sort don't like having their
faces smacked, and they are apt to
return a smack with a thrust of a
knife; or with a blow ot a bullet;
or with a Jerk of a noose."
"Morhldl Old-fasblonedl Vlo
torlanl" laugheo Jules.
"So don't get drunk again, my
son," continued his mother, "or If
you must see that your wife is in a
safe place where she cannot cause
mischief and danger."
"It's news to me, my mother, that
Margaret la much ot a mischief
maker, or given to pursuing young
men and leading them on, for the
tun ot turning them down at the
psychological moment."
"I did not say that your wife pur
sued RalsuL Do not put false ac
cusations against your wife Into my
mouth, my son. I did not say that
she led him on. I said that she in
sulted and enraged him. I said that
she threatened him."
"Threatened to do what?"
"She threatened to shoot him."
"To shoot him? What lor?"
"What for? To get her husband,
and her husband's father and
mother put to death, I ahould think.
What do you suppose would be tht
result ot Zalnub'a hearing ot th
mere threat-the threat to kill hoi
son? And hore, when you are back
again, and Zalnub's fears and sua
plclona dead, yonr own wife threat
ens to kill RalsuL To kill her sot
Ralsul, whose heir yon arel"
