with some strange adventures in the
distant places to which he penetrates
Not long ago he was at Cettigne

tigne he was to go to Cattaro, the
highway between the two towns be-
Ing a splendid military road, curving
and twisting downwards, through
magnificent mountain scenery. Be-
tween the two places the road drops
1000 feet.
The conveyance was heavy dill
gence. The pass ongers were mostly
women. and all were Montenegrin or
Dalmatian. Forman had secured the
box-seat. up beside the driver, who
was big, burly chap, dressed in such
al assortment of purple and dark
green and red as to make him look
like typical stage brigand.
The driver was sitting upon a
stage-looking pistol about three feet
long Carried for protection against
the real brisands), and he had not
much more than started, and was be-
ginning to negotiate the first long
downward curve, when it became evil
dent that he was drunk.

dizzy drive; for Forman, looking
down. could catch glimpes far below
OF bends and precipices.
The driver laughed and whipped up
his horses. and away they went, while
Forman wondered what was best for
him to DO. The pace increased, and
they whirlcd tippingly around bend.
whereupon the women set up a
scream.

And so Forman suggested to him
to hand over the lines! Not, Of
course, as If critical of the driving
but as II to let the driver see an
American handle those horses. The
idea, as Forman hoped it would,
licked the man. See an American
drive? Surely! And so, with yell,
which was echoed by screams from
inside. he handed over the lines.
1t was great drive. 1t was easy
enough, Forman declares, so long as
the horses did not get beyond con-

The bibulous driver was highly
