"Raisuli could not bear to hear a child cry. chile on several occasions 1 noticed his care even to avoid allowing the bees collected on his cup to drown. In many respects the man In-, rested and attracted me in spite of all my natural motives for dislike. Kaisuli was at once gracious and dignified, not to us only, but to his wild adherents, who evidently idolized their chieftain, whose position among Diem seemed that of the head of a Highland elan in the olden times. He was quick to see the mis aspect of a situation, while his partee was as immediate and to the point as though he had been born in County Galway itself.

In fact 1 discovered to my consternation that I was beginning to like the man in spite of my natural resentment. I found myself unconsciously accepting his contention that he was not a mere brigand or cattle-lifter, but a patriot struggling to rescue his Berber followers from the tyranny of the cor- hai acter. He is in fact and with a certain statesm quality. He deplored the condition of 'us country, the feuds which separate Hie tribes, the many deeds of vio-1. nee, and the blood so uselessly shed.

"In fact, this strange experience while in with Raisuli at began to assume an aspect of unexpected and idyllic charm. The life of the, natives; the little touches of more genii. human character; the niiv Mild who offered me fruit, which I at first declined, until I noticed the expression of disappointment and uoutnieation upon the boy's face, and then the radiant and almost ridiculous satisfaction of the little fellow when I pretended to enjoy his half-ripe ottering; the many attempts of the wild people about me to propitiate me; then- curiosity as to our own manners and customs, as when one venerable inhabitant of the village led me g. nth aside to inquire why wc walked so rgettcally up and down the village green. 'For health's was my reply.

said the old Mohammedan, 'and may I ask how manv such daily turns, up and down, it may require to keep a Christian in good health' all afforded matter of interest and reflection. "While standing near Raisuli one day on the village green, of which we were now allowed the freedom, one of his followers came up from Tangier, almost breathless from his haste, to report the arrival of the two American squadrons. The man described how the eight frigates had entered the bay, one after another. He told of the anxious deliberations of the Moorish authorities and of the alarm of the native inhabitants, who ieare.1 the town might be bombarded. The man declared that the place was or upside down.

"I watched Raisuli with anxiety, lest apprehending the lan. line of marines, with a view to our relief and his own capture, he misht endeavor to drag us to some more distant and inaccessible retreat. What was then my surprise when looking up with a bright sinlic, he said. 'Well, I think I can now congratulate 'I do not understand I leplied. 'I answered Raisuli.

"Raisuli was confronted by the probb in as to what disposition he was to make of 70,000 silver Spanish dol-Jars which he demanded for our release.

When Raisuli paid no attention to the demand of the United States Government for the release of the two men, President Roosevelt promptly dispatched a fleet of American warships to Morocco, and sent the famous ultimatum to the sultan, 'Perdicaris alive or Raisuli The National Geographic Society says it was in connection with the framing ot that ultimatum that a correspondent of the Associated Press is concerned, according to a classic story among the Washington newspaper men.

Being entrusted with preparing a in. -sage tor President Roosevelt to sign, Mi. Hay, then secretary of State, did so, and, as many a public official has done, submitted it to his friend, the newspaper man, for his opinion. "Well, it may be diplomatic but the Muliun never will 'get' you in the midst of all Ihose words," was, in effect, the newspaperman's verdict. Then flashed th; bright idea, "Why not sa whai you mean, and no more, Mr.

Secretary, 'Perdicaris alive or Raisuli The Secretary agreed. President Roosevelt approved. And so it happened that the sultan so far got' this succinct American demand, that he abandoned the usual eiienial Main, el ion, and the result, while helpful to the victims, was hard on the sultan. For to deliver the two Americans Raisuli had to be appeased with payment of about five tunes the ransom he demanded for the Loudon correspondent, with ap- IM.mliu.-iit of himself as governor of certain areas about Tangier, and release of his bandit friends and imprisonment of some of his enemies." Mr. perdicaris' own story of his capture, as related in a communication sent to the Geographic Society is strong in interest.

"In 1894 L'nilai El Hassan died," Mr. Perdicaris wrote and "this Sultan was perhaps the ablest ruler ever enjoyed. His young son, Abd El Aziz, nominally succeeded to the throne upon his lather's death, but did not assume the reins of power until the decease, in 1900, of the Great Vizier, Hen Hamed Den Mouse A year or two later an adventurer, known as Gihili HI Zarbmiii, an alleged elder brother of Kbd El Aziz, and many of the Berbers in tho neighborhood of Fez rallied around this pretender and even threatened Fez itself. For a short time the Sultan's troops were so aroused that many of them deserted with their arms to the enemy, and the Sultan himself barely escaped capture. "The weakening of the Sultans hold upon power was followed by a marked alteration tho attitude of the natives toward foreigners Europeans or Americans.

"I was at tho time president of an international commission charged with the administration of the town of Tangier; nor did I imagine that I myself would be exposed lo any immediate danger, much less that I should be carried off as a hostage bv the Berbers, or that the squadrons of our navy and the orders of my release in Washington would become factors in the immemorial struggle between the Berbers of El Moghereb and the Sultan of Fez and Morocco. "We had moved up two days before ties startling vent to Aidonia, our summer residence, on the Spartello headland about five miles from Tangier.

Followed by my stepson, Cromwell Valley, whose wife and two daughters, just homo from school at Geneva, completed, with Mrs. Perdicaris, our family circle, I rushed down a passage leading to the servants' ball, where I came upon a crowd of armed natives.

Haven's death the gallery went out of existence, and the pictures went into the hands of a private family which prefers withholding its name from publication. The Kahler painting was said originally to have been in the possession of one Kate Johnson, eccentric milliunairess ot California. Miss Johnson homed 350 cats of all breeds and varieties on her estate, and she herself commissioned the artist to make the portrait. The "ere fed a pint ol cream each daily and were bequeathed a half mil lion dollars by Johnson in her will.

He furthermore assured me that should any danger menace me in the future, that not only he himself, but any of the men of the three tribes under his orders, would hasten to my relief. "Thus I left him.
