DETROIT. March 18—The Jury
1* picked, Henry Ford has ‘agreed’
to testify and there promises to
be more excitement than slnco the
flrit horseless carriage made the
older settlers swallow their tobac-
co plugs. But Just what It is all
about, this million dollar libel suit
against the world's richest gent,
bo one has yet decided.
Attorneys tor Aaron Saplro,
Jewish farm marketing genius, as-
sert the fracas Involves Ford’s al-
leged attempt to intimate thru his
Dearborn Independent that Baplro
was part of a Jewish coneplracy to
dominate and control American
farmer*.
Attorneys for Henry Ford, led
by the ruddy-faced Jim Keed of
Missouri, asserted that, not the
Jewish race, but Saplro alone, is
on trial, and that the sole Issue
Is whether he organized and ex-
ploited for his own profit Amer-
ican farm marketing co-operatives.
In Different King*.
And both sides are determined
to niahe cases along the lines now
laid down. Thus far all the wick-
ed swinging due to take place, the
boy* are, in effect, fighting In dif-
ferent rings.

and two attempts. Ford’s attor-
ney* presented an enormous 315-

Look, brothers, something white

The speaker reined In his
camel and pointed, his long-sight-
ed gaze fixed on the far-distant
spot where he had seen something
that to European eyes would
hare been Invisible.
Lowering bis outstretched
hand, he unsluug his rifle as the
other Touareg came to a halt
around him.
“A trap perchance.” growled
another of the Wolves of the
Desert, from behind the heavy
blue veil that hid all but his eyes.
He was a huge man, more negroid
of countenance than the rest.
“Go. thou, and spring It then,’'
said the leader, and the score or
ro of raiders sat motionless on
their camels while the black-
faced man rode off.

The two rode to the spot where

of the caravan guards, fighting-

rifles, or long lances, and straight
heavy swords.
"He is no Touareg, but a vic-

The trial Is a remarkable affair.
It is actually 141 libel cases in

Decisive fating off of i-ecdpta. together
with local shipment# yesterday of 285,000
bushels, caused a bullah sentiment In the

Ford. Only one said he had ever
seen Henry Ford, and only two
even knew persons working In sny
of Ford’s world-flung plants. In
addition to the man who had once
seen Ford, there was a woman
who had for 10 years "belonged
to the same organization as Mrs.
Ford." She was excused. One
other woman had a husba—d who
had once talked to Ford.
The present Jury will get their
first real acquaintance with their
most famous fellow citizen Mon-

desert tragedy, this agony and
death of a fellow man, with as
much Interest as they would the
fall of a sparrSw to the ground.
Is not, "Here Is a stranger—
let us cut his throat,” the expres-
sion of a sound, safe and profit-
able principle?
Taking his goat-skin water-bot-

high peak of his saddle, the
Sheikh untied the neck of It, and

A fellow-feeling makes us wou-
drous kind, and the fact that this
derelict was a Touareg victim
gave him a claim that he would
otherwise not have had, and
brought him kludnesses he might
not have received. Skeletons and
dried corpses of men are, in the
desert, too common a sight to
warrant a second glance: wound-
led men are a burden; and dying
; men will soon be dead.
Hadji Abdul Sriara, a fat and
(for an Arab) jolly rogue, rode
up from beside the camel that
bore his two wives In a gayly
striped bassourab (or balloon-like
tent), and putting on an air of

CHAPTER 11
EL HAMEL
1
Towards evening of the same
day, a desert caravan of semi-
nomad Arabs—"peaceful" herds-
men, armed to the teeth and de-
siring to fight no foe of greater
strength than themselves—fol-
lowed in the track of the Touareg
raiders.
At their head rode their aged
Sheikh, a venerable white-beard-
ed gentlemen, with the noble
face of a Biblical patriarch, and
much of the , philosophy, stand-
ards, ideals and habits of such—
a modern Abraham, Isaac, or
Jacob. ^
Beside him rode an Esau, a
hairy man. a mighty hunter be-
fore the Lord. In ills dark face
was nothing noble, save in so far
as a look of forceful and ruthless
determination makes for nobility
ot countenance.
"Yea—of a surety arc we saf-
est In the very tracks of these
Sons of Shaitan, these Forgotten
of Allah—may they burn in
Gehennum.” said the Sheikh to
hla companions; and turning on
his ftpmel, he looked back at the
long and straggling column
whereon the bobbing, rolling bas-
sourabs showed that prized and
honored women rode hidden from
the eyes of men.
"Thou art right. Wise One,”
replied the burly younger mnn.
"No bullet enters the hole made
by an other bullet, and no knife
nor spear strikes a bleeding
wound. No other raiding party
will follow this one. nor will these
Enemies of God turn about In
their own tracks.”
And It came to pass that as the
sun,began to set, and the old
Sheikh prepared to halt the cara-
van for the mogh’reb prayer—
when all would dismount and.
kneeling In long lines behind
their leader, would follow him in
devout supplication to Allah, their
heads bowed to the sand in the
direction of Mecca—the eyes of
his companion, called Suleiman
the Strong, fell upou the bundle
of rags on the distant sand hill.
"By the Beard of the Prophet.”
he exclaimed, pointing. "A man!
And he may not be dead, or that
vulture would be at work."
"Tf it U one of the Forgotten
of God he will toon be dead,"
said the aged ShelkhJ laying hta
band upon the stiver blit of the
water in which was soaked a pa-
per bearing a very special extract
from the Q’ran, and the applica-
tion of a very hot iron to the old
gentleman's stomach. He also
had a most valuable prescription
for ophthalmia—muttering an-
other Q'ranlc extract seven times,
and spitting in the patient's eyes
seven times after each mutter.
This learned physician pro-
nounced life extinct.
“Starved to death," be said.
"Then died of thirst. Wliereaf-
ter he received a wound which ?ld Sheikh's
turn to infatuation, and, far from
This, he explained, would effect-
ually prevent the entrance of any-
thing in the nature of a devil,
and so tiie man really ought to
be ail right. . . . And. in any case,
whatever Allah willed was obvi-
ously the will of Allah! . . ,
Quite so. . . . lnshallah!
The doctor thought the Sheikh
was getting a bit senile, to pur-
sue a whim to thlB extreme—but
if the Sheikh wished to oblige
Allah. the doctor wished to oblige
the Sheikh.
After another long rest al the
next halt, the Lnknown was again
better, if his wound was worse.
He drank hallb and water greed-
ily, and looked about him. But
if he could use his eyes, he could
not use ills tongue, or else did
not understand what was said to
him.
After each halt, ho grew a lit-
tle stronger, and by the time the
tribe reached an oasis, he could
totter about on his feet, and wash
ills wound for himself.
The good hakim, Hadji Abdui
washed his
hands—of the patient. Ho would
take no further responsibility for
the fool, since be thought he
knew more about the treatment
of gunshot wounds than the doc-
tor did; and either could not. or
would not, swallow the doctor’s
words—written on wads of paper
—precious hejabs, warranted to
exorcise all devils of sickness and
destruction.
Hearing the physician complain
Suleiman the Strong bade him
waste neither words nor skill, for
as soon as the Sheikh tired of hie
fancy, be himself intended to cure
the Unknown of all troubles with
complete finality. He had a feel-,
ing against him, inexplicable but-
powerful.
And daily the Unknown grew in
strength, and by the time the
caravan reached its destination,
some weeks later, the osar of the
tribe, he could ride a camel and
could almost fend for himself.
But his wound grew worse, and
for months he seemed like to die,
for he could not get at the hole in
his back, whereas the flieB could.
The tribe called him El Gherib,
“The Poor Stranger," and El
Hamel, "The Foundling,” "The
Lost One," and waited for the
old Sheikh to tire of him,

But as the months went by, the
fancy, seemed to
killed him.”
This bulletin satisfied all pres-
ent, save, apparently, the corpse,
whose eyelids fluttered as the
blackened tongue moved feebly in
a kind of lip-licking motion.
“But I have brought him back
to life, as you see,” the good doc-
tor promptly added—and his
great reputation was enhanced.
2
And alive, just alive, the found-
ling proved to be.
Curiously, and inconsequently
enough, and yet again naturally
enough, the old Sheikh set great
store by the recovery of the man
whom he had saved.
Had he not thus thwarted the
Touareg. undone what they had
done, plucked a brand from their
burning, and was not this human
salvage hi*, and a record and
proof of his virtue? . . . The
Sheikh had reached an age at
which proofs of virtue may soon
be wanted in the sight of Allah.
He had the sick and wounded
man rolled up in feloudjl tent-
coverings, splinted with tent-poles
and slung at thq side of a good
djemel baggage-camel.
"See that the dog dies, you,”
whispered Suleiman the Strong to
the camel-man In charge of the
djemel, as the caravan moved on
tiring of the man and ceasing to
Interest Iilmself in his existence,
lie cherished and cared for him.
When, eventually, he recovered,
the Sheikh raised him to promi-
nence and importance.
El Hamel was he whom th*
Sheikh delighted to honor, and
Suleiman the Strong sharpened
his knife and bldded his time—
for the Sheikh was getting old,
and his sole surviving son was but
a boy.
When the Sheikh was gathered
to his fathers, tho stranger would
die, for Suleiman would be Re-
gent ot the Tribe.
Undeniably, however, El Ha-
mel was a remarkable person, in
the first place, he was Afflicted
of Allah, and quite dumb; in the
second place, he was unbeliev-
ably skilful with a rifle and with
the throwing knife; in the third
place, he was incredibly strong:
in the fourth, he was a most not-
able horseman and horse-master
even among Arab horsemen; in
the fifth, he was indubitably a
far better doctor than the hakim
himself; and lastly, and most re-
markable ol’ all, he was a magi-
cian—and a magician ot power.

Why add a burdeu and a use-

A little later the Sheikh sent
for this camel-man,
"See that this stranger lives,"
said he. “The succour of tho af-
flicted is pleasing to Allah the
Com passionate,' thq All-Merciful.
... On thy head be It!”
Abdullah the camel-man felt
that there was altogether too

and put prudence before pleasure.
Abdullah was a good killer and,
like the rest of-us, enjoyed doing
that which he could do well.
At the next halt, the found-
ling was still alive, and was dis-
tinctly seen to swallow the wa-
ter that was poured into his
mouth.
Suleiman the Strong looked at
Abdullah el Jemmal. the camel-
man, and, with a decidedly un-
pleasant smile, touched the hilt of
his knife. The old Sheikh prais-
ed Abdullah and said It was well.
Of this, Abdullah felt doubtful.

potent hejab or charm—knuckle

Surely no one could have sunk

person—and so he must have lost
