do sometimes attack the trains, and tn.
chance Of scalping on the road can but
add to the charm Of the voyage.
But what is that. / hear being recited

The two principal stations have been
Yanghi- Hissar, where the train stops ten
minutes, and Kizil, where it stops
quarter of an hour. Several blast fur
naces are at work here, the soil being
