End of TchakirdiaIi and His Compan
ions Strictly According to
Bandit Tradition.

Tchakirdjali, the terror of the near
east, the most notorious and blood
thirsty of modern brigands, is no
more. He died as he 1ived-in all the
glamour of sanguinary melodrama.
Dwellers in Asia Minor can now draw
an easier breath than they have been
able to for years. Wealthy merchants
of Smyrna, who trembled for their
boards, may sleep in peace. Travellers
over the lonely roads in the neighbor-
hood of the Anatolin mountains need
not urge on their steeds so appre-
MISUNDERSTANDING and his band
Turk no more in their old strongholds.
Their deeds will figure conspicuous
Iy in the tales that white-bearded
Arabs tell night after night to circles
of cafe auditors. Like the Black
Douglas, the name of Tchakirdja1
will always quiet the fretful Turkish
child in it's cradle. Some women will
perhaps heave a sigh of sentiment for
one who, ferocious outlaw that he was,
treated them with extraordinary gall
lantry. They, at least, knew them
selves to be safe from his hands.
For them, Tchakirdjali was not the
brigand but the squire of danes,
man to be counted on to revenge their
wrongs, as many a local Lothario had
reason to know. Nay, more than that.
Frequently he was their good genius.
Many a maid owes her dowry to
Tchakirdia1i's generosity with his ill-
gotten gains.
It is a pity that Edmond About is
not alive OF do justice to Tchakird-
ialis memory. The author of THE
King of the Mountains" would have
understood him. His able pen could
have immortalized him like no other.
Tchakirdjali was Hagdi Stavros to the
life. Only the background was diff
ferent. Both were Kings" and both
had their Mountains" 1t was in the
mountains of Anatolia (look up your
geography that the great Tchakird-
jail met his end. It was a heroic end.
Nobody need say that romance
doesn't exist in our prosaic day. A
detachment of Turkish soldiers was
sent out against Tchakirdjali. A des-
perate struggle ensued 1t was four
hundred well-equipped men against
four. The Fra Diavalo saw what the
end must be. Now, if it is matter
of principle with Turkish brigands,
they must not, if possible, be taken
alive.
Tchakirdjali, when the last shot was
fred, called on his boon companion,
Mehmed, to save him from that dis
grace. Fealty demanded obediences
and Mehmed was equal to the occa-
sion. With his good Damascus blade
he hewed off his leaders head
Then, having wrought the worthy
deed, he did what was only left him
to do, he plucked a dagger from his
belt and buried it in his own heart.
So the band of Tchakirdjali fell well
tering in their own blood.

seemed impossible that, underneath
that sunny street, conspirators could
be actually drilling for the overthrow

The little park was almost deserted.
The sight of two well-dressed men
pulling up the grating excited only a

gone again and it had changed to over

1t seems to me now that the jest

Louis, when with paltry hundred
men he had terrified the chancelleries
of the two mighty western nations.
But these thoughts came afterward.
In a few minutes we were hard at
work with our pickaxes, breaking
through the masonry. The floods
were swirling round our waists before
we had achieved our purpose. Then
we flung ourselves upon the mercy Of
the stream that now roared around us.
