this infantry OF the east composed OF
Christian slaves proved invlncible

They boosted. and not without a very
large measure OF TRUTH that they never
turned their backs upon the foe. and
they passed from victory 10 victory
with a hery Valor which never seemed
70 be extlnguiahed. They were called
the nerve and sinew" Of the Ottoman
army. and they had more to do than
all other forces put together In the ex-
tension Of the Turkish sway and IN
times OF peril In the salvation Of the
empire.
The janlzarics we're reserved for the
most desperate actions, for the last at
tack In the field. after the ordinary
cavalry and infantry had done their
utmost, and for the charge Of the for
lorn hope when the intrenehmenta
were carried and the walls OF the be-
aieged we're scaled. There was one
corps among them retained for any
work that was more perilous than
usual. They were known b. the name
OF dal kllltz. or warriors OF the

proved genuine. The beasts yelped and
growled and showed other peculiarly

refuge on the piano and card tables and
chairs. conducting their retreat as from

Notwithstanding excited feminine

an exciting climax to an original"
