clusion that the young woman was a
native Of an eastern country.
Consequently some professors from
the oriental school were called in, and
they were all agreed that the girl did
not speak Il correct language, but n
dialect. The professor Of Persian held
that she spoke a Persian dialect and
that he understood it. Another pro-
fessor "a Of opinion that 1t was an
Abyssinian dialect. A third was con-
WINGED that it was a Turkish patois.

ger was proved to be a Hungarian who
