had killed, blood enemies and Mosenls, though he showed rather less inclination to talk of this feat when we came 10 Novibazar. and the night hid ehe possl- biites of multitude of enemies in the unllghited streets. Achmet, most suspici- ous and then most friendly on the preyi- ous night, had come to say good Jye. He was an inch less tall, but not a whit less handsome than Halil, in whom l Fa@ his future enemy. He had been civilized by spending a number of years in vari- ous of the prisons of the east. from Smyrna to Monastir, under the old regime, and last year had added to his reputa- ton, my gendarme told me, by killing q soldier and his horse at one shot. At parting l gave him revolver which did not need. and was at once offered . beautifully y-iniaid silver dagger Except for few gendarmes, these two men were typical of the escort, being only supreme among their fellows. After couple of miles the mountaineers who did not mean to come to Novibazar halted in circle of sombre faces and gay, ragged clothes. to bid me farewell, while the Bashi Razouks streamed ahead over the hills through the morning light towards Servia. for from that quarter an advancing band of seven men had been reported. which, however failed to materialize. The chiefs. in their yellow tun1cS. with scarlet SasheS, filled with the great glitterlng pistols, loitered for few words. They said that if tron- hle was revived they would seek protee- tion in England. Unless the Albauans do so themselves it fig not likely that trouble will be revived and in any case l never saw a body of men who seemed less in need of protection. l put this statement aside absently. and remarked that next time I was in Sienitza I hoped to be able to talk Albanian. Achmet answered . Learn only the names of weapons, and you will converse sufficiently with them So we said good bye to the kings in rags and passed an uneventful day on the road 10 Novibazar, save that my gen. darmes refused to take a present, and that when my escort was shooting at government pre.erty in the shape of 6 telegraph post with my Mauser carbine they nearly shot an ancient man beyond who grumbled till he. too. was allowed to test his eye.
 At the headquarters of the Sanjak, the last of the awe-inspiring. rapscallions left us. and the lips of the Bosniak driver were opened. ''Oh God oh God, 1 am delivered from these men. Rotten of heart are they, yet honorable. who will die when their bassa (word) is given.
