with two strings upon which he continu-

a doleful manner, and winding up the end
Of each verse Of his song with a piercing
shrek. The man on the ground was at
tackled by dysentery, and this, was in

Khirghiz were cured. When the doctor
had got half way through his song, a
couple OF Khirghiz approached, carrying
two sheep. One was placed at the head
