Roman Catholic convert, and the other

was riding an Arab. the remainder Of
the party were on Mongolian ponies.
From a group Of Thibetan and MongoI
lamas we learned that it was the
camp Of the Living Buddha On tour OF

In the middle OF the eneampment we
saw large Mongol felt tent. which
was pointed out as being that OF the
living Buddha, now at his devotions.
To our question whether We might pay
our respects to him, the lamas replied;
wait bit" Nothing possesses such
fascination for a Mongol as a horse.
and very soon my Arab, on account OF
his size and appearance, became the
center OF an admiring crowd. SEEKING
this opportunity l rapidly sketched
the camp, but the desire to see what I
was doing quickly brought a number
of repulsive-loolSing lamas round me.
At this point the Christian convert
said to Father Gysen, in Latin, "They
are deceiving you. He does not want
to see you" Father Gysen and l con-
suited and decided to insist on an in
terview.
We therefore proceeded toward the
tent door, over which a screen of bam-
boo was hanging. To the lama on
guard we said that we were anxious TO
pay our respects to the Living Buddha.
He disappeared into the tent and COM

aside our whips-obligator with Mon

and entered the sacred presence. The
Living Buddha was an amiable, pleas

Of face. high cheekbones and large
ears. He was dressed in 81 undergar

over it. He was seated in the usual
