Even more terrible Is the fate OF
Christian women and children under
this travesty of Government. No
woman is safe from the all powerful
Turk. and from insult and dishonor or

trustworthy recourse. Albanian fathers
and mothers know this. and In their
very extremity they have found one
safeguard. AS soon as Christian

In the land Of the Sultan OF Turkey

day. He went there on Police
man Lamury's stallion, spirited
animal. After the ceremonies. he
got on the horse to return home.
The animal became fractious, and
reared on its hind legs. Instead of
giving slack reins, Mr.. Estorge
pulled ON the reins, which threw.
the horse backward, falling on the
rider. The head of the horse struck
Mr.. Estorge in the face, MASKING it
almost into jelly. His cheek
bone was broken and sunken i'm.
his palate was split in two, his good
eye was almost torn from the
socket and all his teeth knocked
