Shortly after O'Clock Frank timel tho prs

The woman In sedan chair. On arriving At
the end Of the bridge, the guard formed into a
half-circle, shutting out the crowd Of fifty or
sixty people Who had gradually gathered be-
hind them ON the way from the Zaptieh.
The woman was then handed out Of the
chair, aud, from the sudden tremor which
seized ON her after catching sight Of the two
upright poles with their grim cross. beams,
aud the movements Of preparation among the
guard, IL WAS evident that what could at most
have been only suspicion In her mind before
then flashed into . terrible certainty. She
moaued piteously At first, then broke into q
low cry Of "amas, amas" (nercy. mercy.)
and asked what they were going to do with
her. She was told. "mereiy to exile her, +" and
thus partly Quoted, though still moaning and
quivering with terror, was led into the old
black wooden khan at the corner of the street.
There she was Immediately seized and PIN

tragedy had been in course of accomplish

suffered his punishment outside. AS soon as
the woman was reno we'd into the building, an

close to the shoulder end of the neck; the
convulsive struggles, but three additional
hacks from the sword of a CANVASS NJ length
severed the head entirely from the trunk. and
completed the judicial butchery.
The head was then placed, face up, by the
side Of the body, which, with that Of the wo-
man, remained exposed to view throughout
the day, with placards announcing their crime
stitched to the front Of both. The man was in
rags and barefooted, but the woman was
dressed in a fine yashnaek, claret colored tevi-
dice, and wide yellow leather boots-in the or
binary style Of a Turkish lady. To Judge
from her face, which was plainly visible, on a
near inspection, through the thin yashmaek, she
was about thirty. six or thirty -eight years of
age, with features which still retained much
OF their former beauty. These last were but
slightly distorted, the chief token of the agony
which had passed over them being Il few drops
of blood round the nostrils, and a contraction
OF the lower muscles Of the forehead. The
man appeared to be about TWEEN y.eight or

by his refusal to turn away this tresp asser on

and accomplished the old mans death.-Leraas
