A position further removed from danger and more purely Mohammedan is the necessity of the day; and it can hardly be doubted that, when the time comes, the possession of some such vantage ground will be recognized as a first qualification with whoever shall assume the leadership of Islam. We have seen that Abd el Hamid dreams of Damascus or Bagdad.
Personal appearances and character of Muley Abd Errahman. Refutation of the charge of human sacrifices against the Moorish Princes. Genealogy of the reigning dynasty of Morocco. Muley Suleiman, the "The Shereeff of Shereefs." Diplomatic relations of the Emperor of Morocco with European Powers. Muley Ismael enamoured with the French Princess de Conti.
Presently, he saw a poor man, so he gave him the twenty ducats and returned to the Moor, with whom he abode till they had accomplished the pilgrimage rites when Abd al-Samad gave him the seal ring, that he had taken from the treasure of Al-Shamardal, saying, "This ring will win thee thy wish, for it enchanteth and hath a servant, by name Al-Ra'ad al-Kasif; so whatever thou hast a mind to of the wants of this world, rub this ring and its servant will appear and do all thou biddest him."
Muley Abd Errahman even traffics in his beauties, and will now and then make a present of one to a governor, in consideration of receiving an adequate return of money, or presents. Sometimes, the Moors pay their Shereefian Sultan a similar compliment, by presenting him with slaves from their harem.
It was his desertion which wrecked her life. Poor thing! she was far more sinned against than sinning. Our other friend at Damascus was the famous Abd el Kadir.
Abd el Hamid would then be legitimately deposed and disappear, for it is unlikely that he would find any such protector in his adversity as the legitimate Caliphs found in theirs six hundred years ago. So fully is this state of things recognized by the Ulema, that I found the opinion last year to be nearly universal that Abd el Hamid was destined to be the last Caliph of the House of Othman.
Then Abd al-Samad threw perfumes on the chafing dish, and addressed himself to reciting conjurations for a time when, behold, the water disappeared and uncovered the river bed and discovered the door of the treasure, whereupon Judar went down to the door and knocked. Therewith he heard a voice saying, "Who knocketh at the door of the treasure, unknowing how to solve the secrets?"
"What, Rrisa?" "Behold! I I have found him!" "Found ?" shouted the Master, plunging forward. Leclair followed close, staggering in the sudden gale. "Abd el Rahman?" "The old hyena, surely! M'almé, M'almé! See!" The white men stumbled with broken ejaculations to where Rrisa was crouched over a gaunt figure in the drifting sand. "Is that he, Rrisa?" cried the Master. "Art thou sure?"
On the twenty first day, he said, "O Judar up with thee; this is the day appointed for opening the hoard of Al-Shamardal." The Moor mounted one beast and Judar the other, and they ceased not riding till noon, when they came to a stream of running water, on whose banks Abd al-Samad alighted saying, "Dismount, O Judar!" Then he signed with his hand to the slaves and said, "To it!"
Then came the Wazirs and Chamberlains and Captains and guards and kissed the ground before the Prince and rejoiced in his coming: and it was a great day with them for enjoyment, for the King's son gave leave to those of King Abd al-Kadir's officers who had accompanied him and others of the townsfolk, to view the ordinance of his father's host, without let or stay, so they might know the multitude of the Great King's troops and the might of his empire.
