The Targui is coming. The woman says: "Now I have trapped him for thee." "Brava!" he cries, and addressing the Soufi: "Draw me some water that I may drink." He draws the water, and the Targui drinks. The woman says to him: "Kill him in the well. He is a good shot. Thou art not stronger than he is." "No," he answered, "I do not want to soil a well of the tribes. I'll make him come up."
You know that Tifinar is the national writing of the Tuareg, the expression of this Temachek language which seems to us the most curious protest of the Targui race against its Mohammedan enemies. "Dom Granger, in fact, believed that the Tuareg are Christians, dating from a period which it was necessary to ascertain, but which coincided no doubt with the splendor of the church of Hippon.
"Do you know that?" Morhange asked him with keen curiosity. The Targa did not speak a word but his eyes had a strange light. "Do you know that?" insisted Morhange. And he added: "Antinea?" "Antinea," repeated the man. And he was silent. "Why don't you answer the Captain?" I called out, with a strange feeling of rage sweeping over me. The Targui looked at me. I thought that he was going to speak.
The latter awakes. "Why," says he, "didst thou not kill me in my sleep?" "Because thou didst not kill me when I was in the well. Get up. Stand down there, while I stand here." The Targui obeys, and says to the Soufi: "Fire first." "No, I'll let thee fire first." The woman speaks: "Strike, strike, O Targui, thou art not as strong as the Soufi."
She bends over him, and he kisses her. She says, "What dost thou want?" "That thou shalt untie me." She unties him. He says to her: "Keep silent. Do not speak a word." Then he unfastens the shackles that bind his feet, puts on his cloak, takes his gun, draws out the old charge and loads it anew, examines the flint-lock and sees that it works well. Then he says to the woman, "Lift up the Targui."
