ing my head little over the bank of
the stream, saw silent figures moving
toward me.
Suddenly dark lantern was turned
on the bank close to my hiding-place.
I dropped under the water and held
my breath until it seemed that the veins
in my head would burst. When could
bear it no longer rose again, took
breath, looked around me, and listened.
All was still. My pursuers had gone. I
then climbed the bank and soon reached
the stony path. Wind and rain in my
face, l strobe rapidly on. .
About five o'clock in the morning,
as day began to dawn, I heard bells
ringing, and saw large city before
me. Not daring to go any further,
sought shelter in some thick shrubbery
near the road. When night came on 1
continued my journey; but hunger soon
drove me into a small village. crept
softly between the cottages and knocked
at the minister's door. He opened it
himself, and told him my story. He
gave me something to eat and drink,
an old coat in exchange for mine, and
a few francs.
On the fifth day after my fight from
Toulon 1 reached Italian ground. 1
begged my way from place to place until
1 arrived in Rome, where 1 hoped to
find occupation, if not friends. Ihired
small room, rested few days, and
then eagerly sought work. Evening
after evening returned disappointed.
The little money which had begged
melted away. At last 1 could not pay
my landlord, and he turned me out into
the streets. Mechanically followed
the stream of passersby, which led me
to st. Peters. crept in YEARLY, and
sank down in the shadows of the large
doors. Two men stood near me reading
poster that was hanging ON the col

"Merciful heavens," said one, show
can man risk his life for few lire ?"
"And with the certain knowledge
that out of 80 men, eight or ten fall and
break their neclis!" said his companion.
Horrible work."
They had passed on, and were lost in
the crowd.
I sprang up eagerly, and read tho

Constantinople, Sept. 10.-The pro-

at the deportation of Armenians had but
little effect. The Turkish government
has sent circulars to its ministers abroad
saying that, with view of securing the
maintenance of order here, it has been
decided to send to their native countries
all unemployed strangers, and the pro-
vincial officials have been instructed to
watch all such persons and prevent their
return to Constantinople.
Commissions have been sent to the
ports of landing to establish the identity
of all deported persons and constant
watch will thereafter be kept upon their
movements. Measures will also be taken
to keep out of the Turkish empire ennis
saries of the Armenian revolutionary
committses, who are working in Bulgaria
and elsewhere.

Methods of Some Attorneys.

The methods used by the attorneys in
their efforts to save the necks of self.con-
fessed murderers at various times raises
question of legal ethics as to how far an
attorney is allowed to 60 in defending
man whom he believes to be guilty.
lawyer is justified to take the case of
man whom he knows to be guilty, because
every man on trial in this free land is en-
titled to fair and impartial trial accord
ing to the established rules of law and
upon proper evidence, and the office of
the lawyer is to see that the rules of law
are followed and that no improper evil
dence is introduced. But it seems that
here the bound duty of the lawyer ends,
and that any effort to thwart the ends of
Justice by producing witnesses who will
ingly perjure themselves, and all other
such practices, is not only violation of
all legal ethics, bat crime against the
community as well.-Las Vegas Optic.
