MOROCCO'S ROMANTIC RULER
A Man Strong: and TeeWe, Good and
Bad, but Very Brave.
FOUGHT AGAINST RACE INSTINCTS
4 ad Thereby Broaaht Down Hatred
of Paaatlcal Maora Who Did
Nat Sea Tnroach
His Eyes.
TANGIER, Aug.' U.X woman who has
een much of the sultan of Morocco, Abl
'el Atls, "The Beloved," says that per ton
sil his appearance la very striking;, yet
he Is not a tall man, hut rather short,
short-necked and approaching dangrrouttty
near to embonpoint. But he has such dig
nity and distinction, such an air of Im
perial yet genial pride, such Inst nc Ivo com
mand, that he would be recognised In a
crowd as one born In the purple and ac
customed to homage of an unusual descrip
tion. Moreyer, in spite of his monastic retire
ment and seclusion and the fewness of
those he meets from outside, he never de
scends to familiarity with his Intimates,
never allows them to forget that he is
"My Lord the Sultan," and they his serv
ants or subjects; Abl'el Axis never dofTs
the grand manner. But for It all the qual
ity of htm la most striking. Thus there Is
on of him that Is a great scholar, learned
in all tbe abstruse questions that distin
guish Arabic literature and Persian
thought. For Instance, the German ambas
sador to his court quoted wrongly In a con
versation a line from one of the rare old
Arable books ha had brought the sultan
from his master, William the Second of
Germany. Abl'el Asia, unconsciously, al
most, repeated tha Una as It Is written. In
that beautiful classical Arabic that hardly
anyone la Morocco speaks.
The beloved covers his head In the Moor
ish fashion, but tha concealing folds that
encircle his head do not hide awsy the
beautiful modelling of his trows, nor the
delicate outline of tha eyebrows and nose.
Tha eyas are large, long and luminous,
filled with that melancholy anticipation we
see la - Vaa Dyck's portrait of King Charl s
Ue knowledge of suffering, and who I
knows what else. The upper portion of his
face is wholly poetical, scholarly and aristo
cratic. The falling off comes with' tho
mouth, loose-lipped and thick, with a weak,
vacillating chin, and a feeble Jowl, with a
forward droop.
A man weak and unstable, who depends
for his Impressions on another stronger
than himself, too weak to resist, too Indo
lent to resent. Shut off as he is hy his
advisers from all contact save whst they
carefully choose in the world, how can he
be otherwise than a succession of reflec
tions. At once foolish and determined,
strong and feeble, good and bad, and
withal a very brave man, who has had
the courage to fight against the Instincts
of bis rare and family and attempt to rule
In an enlightened, modern fashion over
those subjects of his, who belong to the
age of Genesis.
"Yes," says Abl' el Azts now, when the
Nazrinl talk of reform, "but the time Is
not yet. Haste Is of the devil:" Yet he
Is the same man who was persuaded Into
a new system of taxation that left the
Moors In a condition of absolute want, and
who by the same influence was urged to
drag forth an assassin from . the shrine
of Mulal Idrees, the hitherto Inviolable
sanctuary of Morocco and the holiest
mosque, and put him forthwith to .death.
The man deserved death, but not accord
ing to his lights and those of Abl' el Asls.
And It Is that fact, and not all the other
things In him offensive to his people, that
has turned them ugainst the sultun.
The dancing girls, the motor cars, the
bicycles and photograph, the audience to
i. woman of evil character, the receiving
of all and sundry who might choose to
travel to his court all these things and
many others that gave offence have been
set right. True, the electric light Installa
tion and the telephone wires still disfigure
his palace courtyards, but the Moors have
grown accustomed to these, perhaps thty
might condone them In time If they coutd
forget the man who was drsgged out of
the sanctuary and put to death for killing
a Christian. And they might had England
kept faith with Morocco. The sultan never
receives Christian women now, not ex-en
the Bashadaw women. He sends them gift
when they come with the nilmlons, but he
does not see them. He is wUe when It is
too late.
Despite all. AM' el Axis Is the most
charming, the most polished and dolightful
of romantic personalities.

(Copyright. 1907, by W. G. Chapman.)
IONDONDERRY, Aug. Z4.-Irlsh hos
pitality, I have often heard the term u?ed,
but I did not suppose that I should get
such convincing evidence of It within
twelve hours of my arrival at this northern
port.
This is to be straightforward relation
of what happened to some half dosen
Americans, strangers to each other a week
ago, and strangers to all Ireland upon
arrival.
In detail it Is somewhat unusual but In
spirit I am sure It is characteristic of what
might have befallen good Americans in
any one of the four provinces.
To be dumped into the tender that came
down the Foyle to meet the Cslendonla st
Movllle at the chilly hour of In the
morning seemed at tha time a hardship.
We had wanted to see the green hills of
old Ireland and here were blackness and
bleakness and crowded humanity!
Rut the loading process was long drawn
out and when at last we began our a;cent
of the Foyle there were indubitable symp
toms of morning In the eastern skies, and
we saw that our entrance Into the tender
was like the entrance of early ones Into a
theatre before the lights are turned ud.
After a while the curtsln Is lifted and the
scenic glories are revealed to eyes that
have developed a proper amount of eager
ness and receptivity.
Too a' the Morale'.
With the first steps of day a young Irish
man returning to his native land mounted
a seat and recited an apostrophe. -The top
of the mornln' to ye." and then a m'st
lifting suddenly, Irelsnd, dewily green ad
soft and fair, lay revealed before our" ap
preciative eyes.
The sun when he really began his morn
ing fiYushwork painted the trees and
grasses In more vivid greens, but there'
was a suggestlveness of early spring In
the first soft tones that was fully valued
by eyes that had been used to leaden ski s
for more than half the days of the voyage.
But I am no poet to paint landscapes on
Sewspaper, so we will consider ourselves
inded and furnished with a few hours of
necessary sleep, and anxious to begin our
adventures.
Our party consisted of half a dosen whose
Itineraries were to run In parallels for a
time. There were four ladles and two
of us were men. One of the men had to
come to Ireland on business and he found
he had awaiting him an Invitation to lunch
that day with a country gentleman with
whom he had corresponded on business
matters.
As the one lesst strange to the country
this American had tendered his good offices.
American fashion, to the ladles who would
be traveling without male companions
after we left them, and so he despatched
a messenger with a note to the effect that
he must regretfully decline, and stating
his reasons for so doing.
While we were lunching at the hotel a
return note came to him. this time from
the good man's wife, cordially asking that
we all come and have afternoon tea.
' Here was a chance, to see an Irish house
hold that was hailed with delight hy all, a
delight that was not ' appreciative of the
warmth of the Invitation.
We would go to the pleasant country
house. but our trunks had not come.
Would our traveler's togs wirthlly repre
sent our country?
Tea and Janntlne Core.
But our friend said: "Don't let clothes
stand between us and this thing. I'm
sure this lady will be gad to welcome us
as Americana, and for my part I never
reflect credit on my tailor and people never
clamor for his address when they see me.
As for you ladles, I'd think sny tea of
mine honored by such fetching gowns. If
that's the proper term. I'm going to write
her that we're coming Just as we are."
So be sent another messenger out Into
the country telephones seemed as scarce
as snakes here saying, well, he used a
good assortment of words and arranged
them worthily. ,
The two young girls of the party clam
ored for Jaunting cars, and so two were
ordered for 4 o'clock. One of them had red
cushions and was as glittering in its glass
and gold as a circus wagon. ,
My friend In ordering this one said to
the 'Jarvey" (by the way, they call them
drivers In this part of Ireland, but Jarvey
has always seemed so delightfully Irish
that I prefer to stick to it), "Get another
car as nice as this."
"Sure, there's none as nice as this," said
he, pride forcing the confession; "but I'll
get a good one."
It was a beautiful day except for the ex
treme heat and yet they say it always
rains in Ireland. I felt that It must be ex
ceptional and said to the waiter at lunch.:
"I suppose It is unusual to have such
weather as this?"
"Sure, every day is like this" said he
with patriotic mendacity.
When the Jaunty Jaunting cars drew up
a little before 4 o'clock there were por
tentous black clouds In the sky, but the
Jarvles assured us that they were there
more for looks than anything else that
there might be a matter of a aplt or two,
but that we'd have a fine afternoon.
So we mounted the sides of the cars and
holding on to the polished rails we had
been told was the proper fashion we set
out bravely on our way, little witting what
a wetting all Ireland was soon to have.
In a half hour or so we would be walk
ing over Irish lawns and admiring Irish
lace, as they decked the forms of gaily
clad femininity gathered for sociability and
t 'a alongside the rhododendrons and f uschla
bushes.
A few drops of rain fell, but the wind
was south and we seemed to be going
east.
"Isn't this gay?" called the young girls
as we Jiggled along In holiday mood.
Suddenly a silver bolt of Jagged lightning
cleft the sky to the south and almost In
stantaneously a peal of thunder that
sounded as If It had been born snu Drea
on Connecticut hills, so loud was It, told
us that the people living to the south of
us were going to get wet. .
And then we came to a bend in the road
and turned south.
"Ah. 'twill be nothln'," said our driver
in answer to a question.
To give up what one has undertaken is
a poor way of playing a game, and we
were all for going on.
"It's not far," said the Jarvey, but this
was a sort of truth that depended on what
he was comparing the distance with. It
was not so far as Dublin, for Instance, but
'twas far enough as the event proved.
We put up our cravenettes, hoisted what
umbrellas we had and gave the blankets
an extra tucking In, and after that the
deluge!
Bang, kerrassh! A bolt from heaven fol
lowed by a bolt from each horse. A sort
of echo, as it were. The drivers reined
them In and ours started to seek shelter
under a tree.
As I sometimes read the newspapers
when at home I told our driver to keep
In the open.
' The lightning now became more and more
frequent and was so close that we let go
our hold on the brass rails, preferring to
pitch out rather than act as conductor on
a Jaunting car such things as conductors
being unknown anyway.
Pleasures of the Drive. i
. It was terrifying, and to add to my dis
comfort I found I was sitting In a pool
of water, the rain having an Irish Insuat
Ingness about It that was Irresistible. And
now. Just to show us what could be got
up on short notice for. American visitors
It began to hall and the wind blew it in
long white, slanting winterlike lines across
the air and into our faces, and the roads
having become little brfcoks the horses had
to be urged to the driver's utmost of threats
and cajolery. ,
I thought of that waiter 'who had told
me It was alwsys sunny In Ireland and I
wished him out In the pelting storm.
"I've not seen the like In twlnty years,
sorr," said the driver. ;
To go back was to get the storm in fulller
fury, for the wind had shifted.' To go
ahead was to arrive like drowned rats, but
we were anxious for, shelter, and still the
driver ssid' "It's not far," and so we went
on. I have been In many places In all sorts
of weathers, but It Is years since I've been
out In such a storm. The hailstones were
not as large as hen's eggs, but they were
as large as French peas.
There was not a dry stitch on us, and
the red of the gay cushion went through
to my skin. My cravenette treacherously
refused to let the water depart from me.
but shed It on the wrong side which may
be an Irish bull for all I know.
' "Here we are now, sorr," said our driver
as he turned In at a beautiful driveway.
- A winding drive of a minute or two and
we arrived like wet hens all of us at th
house of these people, who had never heard
of us until that day.
Welcome to an Irish Home.
But the warmth of the welcome from
our host and hostess, who came out to the
door to greet us. made us not only glsd
we had come, but even glad we were wet.
Had there been the least stiffness we
should have wished the storm far enough
(and, indeed, all Ireland did wish it, for It
turned out to be the most tremendous
thunder and hall storm In a score or mors
of years), but our new found friends
frankly laughed with us at our funny ap
pearance and we were hurried off to varU
Our rooms to change our clothes.
Our protestations of regret at putting
them to trouble were met with protesta
tions of delight at being able to serve us,
and as my host brought me some union
garments that had been made for a mas
of three times my slse and I wrapped then)
round and round me until they were giddy,
I was glad I had not turned back to spend,
a damp afternoon In a lonely hotel.
The rest of the party fared well In get.
ting clothes that became them, but when
I was fully dressed I looked like FtancUl
Wilson In "Ermlnle." As I turned up my
sleeves and triple turned up my trousers I
knew I would be good for a laugh In any
theater In Christendom.
There was but one thing to do go dowq
and look unconscious of my misfit appear,
ance. It would never do to stay In my
room through a mistaken sense of per.
sonal dignity. i
So I went down and, meeting host and
hostess and my compatriots, a laugh went
up that would have broken the Ice In a
Pittsburg millionaire's drawing room.
And then we were taken to the tea room
and In a few minutes I forgot that I was
no longer the glass of fashion and the
mould of form, for I was made to feel
that I was Just a friend who had dropped
In (or perhaps dripped In would be better),
and when a couple of hours later we drove
home through the soft Irish verdure.
doublv srreen sfter its rnueh hut liviuu.
atlng bath, we all felt that Irish hospitality)
was no mere traveler s tale, hut a thing
that had Intensity and not a little emotion
