ing bells, telling of an approaching
caravan. Surrounded by huge bales
of cotton, cases of opium and bundles
Of carpets come troop of Persians
on pilgrimage to Mecca or Kubelia,
who for safety's sake generally travel
with a large, well-guarded caravan.
Their well-fllled saddle-bags contain
everything necessary for their SIX to
eight-months journey. So accustomed
do the Persians become to the pace
of their mules, they can doze comfort
ably on their backs through the not

but the westerner has to keep wide

The most useful vehicles for long
journeys In Persia are the palakis and
kajavahs, the quaintest contrivances
for travel to be seen anywhere. These
Persian cabs" are fixed upon mules.
Some skill. too. is required in load
ing up the mule with its human
freight, care being taken that the two
people who travel side by side are
about the same weight. II tiny hus-

Similar care has to be exercised In

the ground with unseemly haste. The

and the palaki is that the latter Ia
