An Old Royal Romance.

Uskub, the capital Of the old Servian
empire, is associated with one Of the
few real love affairs of a Turkish sui
tan 1t was here, after the fatal field
Of Kossovo, that Bajazet arranged
terms of peace with the Servian King
Stephen. One of the most important

hand over his sister, the Lady Despina,
as wife of the sultan. 1t was a lucky
deal for the Servians. for we are told
that "of all his wives the sultan held
The Lady Despina dearest and for her
sake restored her brother the city and
castle Of Semendria and Columbarium,
In Servia."
