We'll need 'em, old man." The Governor straightened his back. "Give ear, O people!" he cried. "I make a new Law!" The villagers closed in. He called: "Henceforward I will give one dollar to the man on whose land Abu Hussein is found. And another dollar" he held up the coin "to the man on whose land these dogs shall kill him.
This fellow had waited upon my orders daily since my arrival at Fatiko. At the death of the former vakeel of Fatiko, Ali Hussein had succeeded to the command of the station. He had arranged to make a descent upon the Umiro tribe, about six days' march to the south-east.
"'Gennaro, said the minister of police, 'if I gave you an order to arrest this gentleman, would you see any difficulty in executing it? "'None, your excellency. "'You are aware that this gentleman's name is Hussein Pacha. "'I was not, your excellency. "'And that he is dey of Algiers. "'May it please your excellency, I don't know what that is.
"'You are the ex-dey of Algiers, and I am the Neapolitan minister of police; and, if your deyship is impertinent, I shall send him to prison, added the minister very coolly. "'To prison! repeated the dey, falling back upon his divan. "'To prison, replied the minister. "'Very well, said Hussein. 'I leave Naples to-night.

The art that had fed him for years was now to be the means of recovering his money. Hadji Hussein daily met Ben Moïse but he never again referred to the money, and further, Hussein's sons were always in company with Ben Moïse's only son, a lad of ten. Time passed, and Ben Moïse entirely forgot about the jar, olives, and gold; not so Hadji Hussein. He had been working.

Ben Moïse thanked him, and Hadji Hussein departed with his jar, well satisfied.
I subsequently discovered that a large quantity of flour, together with some fowls which he had forwarded to me, had been stopped and appropriated by the renowned Ali Hussein. The intriguing spirit of these slave-hunters was extraordinary. It is their custom never to receive a sheik unless he brings a present.
In the meantime Hadji Hussein and Ben Moïse were greater friends than ever, and their children were likewise playmates. One day Hussein took Ben Moïse's son to his Harem and told him, much to the lad's joy, that he was to be their guest for a week. Later on Ben Moïse called on Hadji Hussein to know the reason of his son's not returning as usual at sundown.
Being Ramadan, I could not see the pasha during the day; but in the evening, M. Petronievitch, the exiled leader of the Servian National party, introduced me to Hussein Pasha, the once terrible destroyer of the Janissaries. This celebrated character appeared to be verging on eighty, and, afflicted with gout, was sitting in the corner of the divan at his ease, in the old Turkish ample costume.
'This is a secret between us, Garnet. Your partners 'Shall know nothing. And as for myself, I am as close as an emerald in a seal-ring. Close of the Season HUSSEIN PACHA, 'the favourite, not only of the Marquess of Mash, but of Tattersall's, unaccountably sickened and died. His noble master, full of chagrin took to his bed, and followed his steed's example.
