small plain, bounded by the scrub on
che side and by the mountain on the
other. On this could discern q colleo-
ton of huts and houses to tho Number
of perhaps SEQ. But what struck ihe as
most remarkable about them was the
fact that they were arranged in streets
and that the majority Of them were
built on European lines; also in almost
every case--and was able to verify this
later on--each one possessed a well kept
and apparently productive garden, vary
ing in extent from quarter up TO as
much in soIno cases as an acre. AL

Beautiful White Devil, the home of

the village and the waterfall, we saw

this cato we passed. and after carefully
closing it behind us followed short

foliage, then having assembled a flight
of broad stone steps flanked with quaint
stone gods and images we stood before
the dwelling of the Beautiful White
Devil.
