There wss. however. another Turkish
tribe destined to play . morr brilliant
part in the worlds history. These ~ere
the O<nanii-, cs the oftoman..' who de-
rived their name frcm the Emir Osmsn
os Othmaa 1.-THE Bonebreakerl. the found
er of their empire. Othman, a handsome.
black -browed man, with very long arms.
ruled the Turks from 1899 to 1926. The
great object Of his uuceasing eff"rts was
b conquer the possessions of the Byzan-
tine Empire in Asia Minor; and when he
lay on his deaih-bed, the news came that
the arms of his son Orchan had been
crowned by the capture of the great city
Of Bruss. There the seat of the Ottoman
Empire was for some time fixed.
The reign of Orchan (1326-1360) was
marked by the establishment of the ia
nous Janissaries New Troops) Every
year thousand Christian children were
torn from their parents, forced to become
Moslcms, and trained to soldiers life
by the mot rigorous discipline. This
was done yearly for three centuries; and
f,r,NnA t1,ok forrIINl0 hn1u IF
troops, whose fierce military ardor and
Implying hearts made them first the safe
guard and then the terror of the sultans.
In 1856, Solyman, the eldest son of
Orchau, crossing the Hellespont one night
with few warriors, seized castle on the
European shore. In three days three
thousand Ottomans garrisoned the strong
hold. This event marks the first firm
footing gained by the Turks on European
soil; and they never since have lost their
hold.
Under Amurath I. (1380-139U Adri-
anOpie, being taken by the Turks, was
made for time the center of their En-
ropean possessions. A league was formed
by the Sclavonic nations along the DAN
ube to repel the Infidel invaders, but in
vain. The crescent-such was the device
borne on the Turkish bauners-still shone
victorious in Thrace and Servia.
Bsjazet, q drunken senshalist, who,
succeeding his father, reigned from 1889
to 1909, exchanged the title Emir for the
prouder name Of Sultan. At Nicopolis
he routed the cavalry of Hungary and
tho dark food Of Moslem war. Classic
Greece, too, was ravaged by bis victori-
GUS hordes. Steadily he seemed to be ad-
vancing in the gigantic plan of European
conquest sketched out by his ambitious
father, when the most terrific warrior
Asia has ever borne, rising on his eastern
frontier. dashed his power into frag-
ments.
This was Timour the Lame, whose
name has been corrupted into Tamerlane,
a MOngol, descended from Zenghis Khan.
From his capital, Samsrcand, he spread
his conquests on every side-from the
Chinese Wall to the Nile; from the springs
Of the Ganges to the heart of Russia.
Whenever this demon conqueror took a
city, he raised - trophy Of his success
. pyramid Of bleeding human heads.
Bsjazet was obliged to forego the intend
Cd siege of Constantinople by the attack
Of the ferocious Nongsl upon the eastern
frontier Of his newly acquired dominions
in Asia Minor The decisive battle was
fssght in Angora. where Bsjsset utterly
deIes1ed, was made prisoner. Carried
