[Original.]
Ill the city of Tangier there lived a
youug 111:1 u, Ilamet el Zagel. Hamet
wusthesou of a wealthy father, well
educated and possessed of a fair share
of manly beauty. Tangier Is built on a
Bide hill overlooking the blue Mediter
ranean directly opposite Gibraltar.
Th to are rows of guns with which to
defend the town placed behind bat
teries oa the hillside. One morning
Unmet wos walking along this fortifi
cation lookiug out upou the sea and
the dock, at the cud of which a Euro
pean ship was being loaded with cat
tic. A rope was fastened around the
horns of cach and the poor beast
ilr.iwn up the ship's side kicking and
struggling. While llaiuet was looking
on a youn,' g'.rl rnme by, her face cov
ered, as is the universal custom In
Morocco, and also stoud watching the
raiding of- the cattle. The process
seemed so cruel that the girl was vis
ibly affected by it. Indeed, so lndlg
uaia was she that she forgot to hold
her head covering over her face, per
mitting it lo fall upou her shoulders.
Ilamet saw a beautiful face full of
sympathy and Indignation, unconscious
of it ; loveliness and that it was ob
served. If a Moor can love, and that at
lir.-t sight, li nnet love I the girl before
him. At any rite, he never forgot the
picture or ioveiia- s he was permitted
to look upou, contrary to Moorish law.
l'he g.rl turned and. seeing thut her
face was exposed to the gaze of a
handsome young man looking at her
with a lover's gaze, blushed, quickly
covered up her t'.ice and went on. A
moment later she was Joined by an at
tei. lant and the two disappeared be
hind the hillside.
When we consider that the girl was
au' -ted similarly to the man we might
e.\ .ect the affair to terminate in a hap
py marriage. Cut in Morocco court
ship is unknown, a betrothed pair nev
er seeing each other till after they
have been married.
Ilamet was already embarked in the
preliminaries of marriage. Negotia
tions were in progress for a union with
the daughter of a wealthy man from
the interior who had just settled In
Tangier. Of course Ilamet and the girl
had never met anil would not be permit
te,i to meet till after marriage. Uamet
had been satisfied until he had seen
the girl on the fortress. After that his
dis ltisfaction was intense. As fir the
git-'., one of her sisters had committed
ii> rather than marry a man she
I uc ?>:' seen, being In love witl all
ot; Ilamet's fiancee was carefully
Watched by her parents for fear of a
sUuilar catastrophe, but as it did not
appear that she had a lover It was as
sume! there would be no trouble. A
cot. tract of marriage was signed be
f' . .>n Ilamet el Zagel and Zoraga Has
s.ia and preparations were made for
the wedding.
MoorUi brides are earried to their
? mnds at night. On the evening of
:? i ct's and Zoraga's marriage. It be
ing a marriage lu high life, the streets
, ig which Zoraga is to be taken are
crowded with people. Presently her
fa .er's slaves come along scattering
siii rbets. sweetmeats and coins. Then
co" es a fantastically dressed negress
lea 1 e.g a white mule. On the mule's
back is fixed a sort of cage. When the
wedding procession reaches the house
of the bride's father the negress takes
the cage and carries it Into the house.
From "within lamentations are heard,
indicating that the bride is taking leave
of those she has loved from infancy to
go into the iiossesslon of a man she has
never seen.
If Zoraga's costume indicated tnat
she was a bride, her countenance did
not in her eve was a faraway look, a
look of regret. She reminded those
about her of a maiden going to the sac
rifice. Her mother looked at her wist
fully. anxiously, and asked her to say
if there was any one she loved. The
loss of one daughter admonished the
parent that she might lose another
from the same cause. But Zoraga
made no reply to the question. She
clung about her mother's neck till her
father reminded her that her husband
was waiting.
Ou the street the old woman reap
peared, staggering under the weight of
the bos which now contained the bride.
Box and brkle were placed on the
mule, and the negress led them. Her
alded by music, friends coming out of
houses to offer congratulations, they at
last came to the house of the groom.
Here the woman took the bride from
the box, smoothed her dress and led
her into the house. Bidding her good
by. the nurse left the room to the
mother-in-law, who approached to have
a look at her son's wife.
Considering that Zoraga's sister had
taken her life rather than be the wife
of a man she did not love, this bride's
parents were remiss in not searching
her before she left her home. Her
nurse had scarcely left her when she
drew a little curved knife, a miniature
sclmlter, from her bosom and was
about to plunge it Into her breast when
her mother-in-law caught her arm and
took the knife away from her.
There was nothing now to do but
meet the groom. As the mother left
the room he entered. Zoraga, accord
ing to custom, threw herself at his feet
She did not look up at him. for she did
not wish to see him. He raised her
j With trembling hands and averted
| eyes, thinking of the girl he loved.
I Suddenly their eyes met. Both start
j ed. A flood of Joy welled in the heart
of each, appearing on Hamet's face In
every feature, on Zoraga's in a blush
mingled with delight. Hamet saw the
girl he had seen on the fortress; Zoraga
saw the man who had then and therfl
won her heart with a single look.

DOCTOR CURED
OF ECZEMA

Eczema with Cuticura Remedies.
Prescribes Them and Has Cured
Many Cases Where Other Formulas
Have Failed ? Dr. Fisher Says:
CUTICURA REMEDIES
POSSESS TRUE MERIT
" My face was afflicted with eczema
in the year 1897. I used the Cuticura
Remedies, and was entirely cured. I
ain a practicing physician and very
often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent and
Cuticura Soap in cases of eczema, and
the}' have cured where other formulas
have failed. I am not in the habit of
endorsing patent medicines, but when
I find remedies possessing true merit,
such as the Cuticura Remedies do, I am
broad-minded enough to proclaim their
virtues to the world. I have been prac
ticing medicine for sixteen years, and
must say I find your Remedies A No. 1.
