a romantic sequel to the tragedy Of the
political murder in Constantinople recent
ly of Zeki Bey, the editor OF an opposi-
ton paper The day after her fathers
assassination Zeki Beys daughter, a girl
of nineteen years. eloped with a Greek
who was a neighbor of the family. In
stant flight and the closest secrecy were
necessary. as the idea of union be-
tween a Mohammedan girl and a Chris
tian rouses the fanatical religious senti-
ment of the Turks.
The two took the suburban train for
Constantinople. In the railway carriage
the girl changed the thick black veil
which Turkish women are compelled by
law to wear for a European hat. From
Constantinople they went by steamer TO
Piracus, the port of Athens. Here the
news of their flight had arrived before
them, and the Turkish consul boarded the
steamer to arrest the girl. The Greek
harbor officials questioned his authority,
and the elopers FASTENED ashore to
hotel, where a policeman was detailed to
guard them from further molestation.
In Constantinople much religious fury
has been kindled by the story Of the
escape.
