Of each mountain hamlet through

Bradshaw remained serenely oblivious.
The young man. who does enter espe-
cially into this tale. was a vestryman
OF the church in his home in the
suburbs Of Philadelphia. His piety
had been put to a severe strain in the
mountains.
That day everybody had to work on
the trail-everybody wanted to for
that matter. The hardest labor con-
sisted in the driving of the burros.
Unfortunately there was no good and
trained leader among them through
an unavoidable mistake. and the camp
ers had great difhculty in keeping the
burros on the trail. To Arthur Brad
shaw had been allotted the most OBJ
stinate. cross-grained and determined
of the unruly band. and Old kirkby
and George paid particular attention
to instructing him in the gentle art
Of manipulating him over the rocky
mountain trail.

in fts of silent laughter until the
tears ran down his cheek, the only
outward and visible expression Of his
mirth.
Arthur only stopped when he had
thoroughly emptied himself. possibly
of an accumulation Of years OF repros-
sion.

II didn't begin to exhaust myself"
answered Bradshaw, shortly. "and
what I did say didn't equal the situs-
ton. I'm going home"
II wouldn't do that" urged the old
man. Here, you take the horses an
I'll tackle the burro."

the camp. which was natural enough.

level. They ali ate and lived together.
The higher up the mountain range you
go. the deeper into the wilderness you
plunge, the further away from tho
conventional you draw, the more
homogeneous becomes society and the
less obvious are the irrational and un-
scientific distinctions Of the lowlands.

George, the cattle man, who cooked,
and Pete. the horse wrangler, who as
sisted kirkby in looking after tho
stock, enjoyed the episode uproar1ous-
ly. and would fain have had the exact
language repeated to them, but here
Robert Maitland demurred, much to
Arthur's relief, for he was thoroughly
humiliated by the whole performance

around the camp fire and one good
story easily led to another.

Unprecedented Length of Trial.

The difference In time consumed in
criminal court procedures in this and
other countries is illustrated by a
trial reported from Chemnitz. Ger

which the paper stated in astonish-
ment that the trial lasted a whole
week.
A woman was the defendant &C

charges were submitted to the jury at

then hustled him into the street. Hard

Arthur faithfully followed direc-
tions, narrowly escaping the outraged
brute's small but sharp pointed heels
on occasion. His efforts not being
productive of much success, finally in
his despair he resorted to brute
strength; he would pick the little ami

man of powerful physique-and swing
him around until his head pointed in
the right direction; then with prayer
that the burro would keep 1t there for
a few rods anyway, he would set him

OF the party.
At last Arthur's resistance, patience
and piety, strained to the breaking
point gave way suddenly. Primitive
instincts rose to the surface and over
whelmed him like a flood. He de-
liberately sat down on fallen tree

marching at the double on Veles

The two Greek armies are both

one on Janina. Both must soon

The Bulgarian front sweeps
from Mustapha Pass by way of
Adrianople, Eski Baba and Visa
to the Black Sea, and is steadily
advancing.
The Servian front reaches
from Novibazar in a great curve,
by way of Pristina, Uskab, Istib

The Greek line reaches from

Turkish forces are demoralized.
An.example of this occurred at
Kalamaka where the Turkish
government forgot to notify the
commander of the Ottoman
troops that war had been de-
clared.
When the Greeks appeared, the
astonished Turks were so COM
pletely surprised that they sur
rendered with scarcely a blow be-

When King George, on his
way to the front, was asked when
he would come back to Athens,
he said:
