Out Of Old Albania.

Save in Epirus, where Greek culture
holds the towns, and even the Moslem
Albanians of the hills write (when
they can write at ALL in Greek letters,
no foreign influence has yet invaded
the intimate life Of this exclusive race.
Individual Albanians have, indeed.
given their talents to bring unity or
order to the life of other peoples. Half
the captains by land and sea of the
Greek wars Of independence were AL
banians from Epirus or the isles.
Crispi came from the Albanian col
ony in Sicily; the khedivial family
imposed itself on Egypt; the last
grand vizier of the old regime in Tur-
key was a South Albanian magnate.
But no native church, no native litera-
ture, no local field for craftsmanship
has yet exercised the talents OF
race which is certainly not the least
gifted of the Balkan peoples. Until
recently an Albanian educated was an
Albanian lost.

In the confusion which followed the

their own capital, Roleau found him.

first had taken him in charge.
Resolved at last, he slipped away be-
the city. not to the westward toward
the plain which lay between the two
cities, but to the east where lay the
water front of Grahoffen.
The desert which lay between these
two little kingdoms ran far to the
southwark in a barren peninsula, on
either side of which swept the blue
sea- Each kingdom, therefore. might
be said to have a seaport as good as
the other, although that of Gretzhof-
fen lay closer to the Mediterranean
proper. Nevertheless, the Grahoffen
harbor was an ample one. and here
all the tiny navy of the little kingdom
lay-beyond the aviation grounds
where the scanty corps of that serv-
ice sometimes held their maneuvers.
It was night when Roleau ap-
preached the wharves along the Ora
hoffen harbor. At anchorage lay the
dim gray bulks of the few battleships
belonging to Cortislaw. At one of the
docks signs OF activity attracted him

he presented himself a little later. ";

yourself to leave this placer"
The captain looked at this intruder
for a moment with none too much
favor.

he. I'VE are leaving, It is true. but

you may be sailing. Ask me not too
many questions, and | will not inquire
Of you, my dear captain. why you are

By this time Roleau was aboard.
The captain neither welcomed him
nor repulsed him. He only shrugged
his shoulders, and accepted some
coins which Roleau placed in his
hand.

In all these rapid events OF the last

palace. II was thither Roleau at
length turned his own footsteps.
Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack of uniform. he
was halted by an officer. who brought
him forthwith to the commander OF
the army. none less than Sachio, who
sat close to the king. watching the
progress OF the battle.

had started out that day. Since morn
