NATIONAL HERO Of SERBIA,
Soldiers Believe Prince Mako Arose
From Sleep Of Centuries to Lead
Them to Victory.

Not far above Monastir is Phillip
and in the hills over Phillip Prince
Mako has slept in his cave for cen.
turtles. He is the national hero Of Ser
bia. The story tellers told of his ex-
ploits in the village squares over night
while peace reigned, says Herbert
Carey in the Saturday Evening Post.
The day came when Prince Mako
found that life wearied him; and so he
rode his white horse into the cavern,
laid his golden mace down for pillow
and thrust his sword into the rock, and
went to sleep.
$50 the moss grew over the sword"
the Serbian soldiers say. "But each
day Sharatz nibbled patiently at the
moss, and little by little the rock was
worn away. At last the sword fell,
and the clang of it awakened Mako !;
and he leaped on his horse and led us
to victory at the battle Of Phillip in
1872"
do you believe this story?" asked
an old Serb officer.
"The men believe it," said he. II do
not discourage them. They all say
they saw Mako on his white horse
that day; and they believe that his
coming presages certain victory. We
shall win back our homes"
