mace, meaning to club him into
submission. Bludso took advan-
tage of this, broke away from the
officer and ran up the track.
Searls started in pursuit, calling

to do 80, and the officer, drawing
his revolver begin to shoot. A
bullet took effect in Bludso's ankle,
quickly bringing him to a halt.

Nine. Tsilka are quartered at the resi-
dence of M. Kimitoff, Protestant
pastor.
Since the first fortnight Of their cap
tivity the ladies have been travelling In
the mountains. They were hidden in
the daytime and hurried along at
night, blindfolded and on horseback.
On one occasion Miss Stones horse
fell and she was thrown to the ground,
but escaped with a badly bruised knee.
At Strumitza the ladies have been
busily engaged in making dresses for
themselves and for the baby. When
they were found they were clad in
native costumes and shepherds
cloaks. The baby had no proper
clothes, but was swaddled in pieces
of rough material such as the noun
taineers use for leggings. The baby
has not suffered from the rigors of
the winter.
