/, Michel was one OF them. Two of the men
who were captured with her were shot.
She defied the government to put her to
death and tried to spit in the faces OF her
judges when her trial day came. She
was the personiication of turbulent an
archy in the court room. Her ringing
cries Of "Vive la Commune!" could be
heard blocks away. She laughed when
she was led away to serve her sentence OF
transportation for lire in New Caledonia.
After the amnesty OF 1880 she returned
to Paris, bringing with her curious
RED cat of some wild species. The cat
became almost as famous as its owner
and every anarchist in Paris knew 1T.
On her return the revolutionists OF the
capital turned out to meet her, and the
next day she renewed her work. preach
ing the doctrine Of anarchy. The police
cautioned her, but she laughed at them,
and continued her efforts in the streets
and in the clubs to make converts. She
was arrested and imprisoned ed, bat on
her release she began preaching again.
OF late years the efforts of the police
to wipe out the anarchists OF Paris nave
been prosecuted with such vigor that 1t
would have been impossible for ner to
stay there unless she was content to re-
main in prison until the end of her days.
Like others of her sect she moved with
her old mother to London, where she has
lived the most frugal of lives.
In Paris her home was tue poorest
place imaginable. For time she and
her mother lived with her nephew and
his wife in the garrett of a large apart:
ment house outside the forti fications OF
Paris. Her room was squalid den,
with two desks piled high with papers,
a table Uttered with odds and ends,
stove, parrot and a dirty dog. The

1t is q conceded fact that the present
mode Of execution in Turkey is by be-
heading and by strangling the victim to
death with strong cords. But 1t is also
yet within the memory of living man
that Turkish malefactors were thrown
down into a great gulf. which was filled
with sharp steel srears, upon which the
victim was impaled.
If the poor wretch was unfortunate
enough to fall upon one Of the spears and
pierce a vital point, the agony was quick
ly over. But to those who were onl y
wounded. death came horribly, through
sheer starvation.
AS if this style OF butchery was not
enough, the Turks were very fond of
driving thorns in the flesh OF the victims.
These thoBns were not the little tiny
spears like those found on an average
American ross push. Instead, they were
two and three inches in length. The
Turkish eXecutioner who could without
killing thrust the largest numb Der of
tborns in the body of a criminal was
esteemed highest among his companions.

it is needed and naught removed till it

above this about eight feet from the

cited their curiosity, for their women do
rarely go abroad, except they be old,
and wear only long, dirty white robes,
muffling the lower part of their faces.
None of them smiled, and it is noticea-
BILE that these people, like our own don,
do never laugh, taking such demonstra-
ton as a sign of weak understanding
and foolishness, but watching all our
actions very intently. And presently an
old Moor, with white beard and more
clearly dressed than the rest, pushing
the crowd aside to see what was for
ward, recognized Don Sanchez, who at
once rose to his feet, we, not to be be-
hind him in good manners, rising also
MAY Babar?' says the old Moor,
and repeating this phrase thrice, which
is sure sign of hearty welcome, he
claps the don's hand without shaking it
and lays his own upon his breast, the
don doing likewise. Then Don Sanchez,
introducing us as we understood by his
gestures, the old Moor bends his head
gravely, putting his right hand first to
his heart, next to his forehead and then
kissing the two foremost fingers laid
across his lips, we replying as best we
could with a bowling and scraping.
These formalities concluded, the don
and the old Moor walk apart, and we
squat down again to our mutton bones
After a lengthy discussion the old
Moor goes, and Don Sanchez, having
paid the reckoning, leads us out of the
town by many crooked alleys and cross
passages, he speaking never a word and
we asking no questions, but marveling
exceedingly what is to happen next.
And following avail overhung by great
palms we turn corner and find there
our old Moor standing beside an open
door with key in his hand. The old
Moor gives the key into Don Sanchez's
hand, and with very formal salutation
leaves us.
Then, following the don through the
doorway, we find ourselves in a spacious
garden, but quite wild for neglect, flow
er and weed and fruit all mingling
Jfnadly together, but very beautiful to
my eye nevertheless for the abundance
of color, the richness of the vegetables
and the graceful forms of the adjacent
palms.
A house stood in the midst of this
wilderness, and thither Don Sanchez
picked his way, we at his heels still too
amazed to speak. Beside the house was
well, with little wall about it, and
seating himself ON this Don Sanchez
opens his lips for thelfirst time.

that our honorable board of commits
