Sarafof's Turkish Friends.

The De Wet Of Macedonia is Boris
Sarafof. He is the hero Of countless
stories Of daring escapes, punishment
of Turkish outrages and desperate
fights. Each story illustrates the de-
pravity Of Turkish character.
But from England comes one story
that rather offsets some Of the others.
A friend Of Sarafoff in London re-
ceived a letter from him some time
ago in which he tells of one Of his
escapes wherein he was aided by a
Turk, and which likewise shows thar
many Mohammedans are in secret
sympathy with the Macedonian cause.
The Turks had me cut off from the
mountains" says the letter, and to
have gone the other way would have
meant encountering the bashi bazouks.
/ saw the light Of a house and. took
my chances with it, A Turk opened
the door and gave me entrance He
invited me to eat with his family. The
bashi bazouks came and demanded ad-
mittance.
This man is a Turk and my
friend said my host, and, apparently
satisfied, the bashi bazouks went
away
Il spent the night there, and next
morning early bade the Turk and his
family good-by. | felt certain he
really thought me a Turk, until, at
parting, he reached out his hand and
said:
'Good-by, Boris Sarafoff"
