On this weak point the Moros . showed the first signs of yielding. Then the plan of indirect it o.atehes wiser men than they. Imported cotton cloth paying duty at the custom house had long' been'- reaching the Moros through a few coast traders, and was now in large use among all Moros. Touching the jacket of the nearest datto, "You are a lot of foolish and Ignorant children," I said. "You are haEeling about 4aying taxes when you have already been doing it for years, and have actJ--ally been giving the Americans money to pay me, to pay the interpreter and all my soldiers." This at once struck their attention. -The explanation fol lowed. They1 understood it remarkably quickly. They saw the humor and the truth of the thing, and, wondering at the finesse that had been able to make them contribute to their own subjugation, yielded In a sort of nonplussed jR-ay, feeling,, no doubt, that it was useless to hope to escape a people who could devise such a smart system of getting money from other people without the latter's even knowing It. To my help also at this juncture came my old friend, the 'priest Noskaliffi, the Metropolitan, as it were, of Lanao, with, If not a revelation, something better wisdom to his people: "It is the will of AHah-ta-Allah, The Merciful, who has many names.

The Celts of France, however, are less well known to us;-much less well known than they deserve to be. Until with ,ln4 our own time they have been an isolated and separate peo ple Armorica, their ancient country, now known as Brittany, - did not become a part of the growing kingdom of France until 3 u a. year before the first voyage of Columbus. A A, passionate. conversatism has always characterized these Celts. They tave clung, to old allegiances, much as they have clung to the fringes of their old lands'. Usually more royalist than the king, they have often been more religious than the church. It may be sail that their royalties, if intense, have often 2een narrow. Their unit of government has been the clan rather than the nation; the clan," a kind of enlarged family, grouped about a fighting leader,'1 who" was also a judge, a provider, a benevolent, parental, arbitrary, aikKab30lu-e - master. Something of this survives among us in the vitality and. persistence of a clanTule like that of Tammany in New York. The Celts of Brittany are thus a people of strongly marked character. The warrior, at the head of his clan, Is one of their great men. - The woodland priest 4s another; and quite as interesting and Important as either is the minstrel, -who sings of love and war, of the mystical forest and the gods above, t One. may. find his successor today in the wandering singer, who goes from: Pardon to Pardon,-reciting in the Breton tongue old poems from mem ory, and often delichtins his listeners with new ones of his own creation.

"In, this retreat," he went on, "the commanding general, as his charger tore like the wind along, turned to an aide who galloped beside him and said: . " 'Who are our rear guard?
