Throughout that afternoon mother, lausanne

anxiously for father to come from Harpout.
Toward evening a guard came to the house
and asked if my father had returned yet, saying
that he was missed cat the audience with the
mutaSsarif." Mother asked him why the men

wanted to see them. The soldier said the

evening came and the mep had not returned to
their homes we became worried again And we
began to fear, too, that father and Emin had
been intercepted.
At dark the wives and daughters of the men
who had been taken from their homes could not
stand the suspense any longer Braving the
order to keep to their houses they began to
gather in the streets, and little companies of
women and children, and even the more daring
men, moved toward the jails They waited out

a glimpse of their relatives or to hear what was
going on inside the Jail. At IL o'clock the
prison gates opened and PasSelt Pacha in his

mounted soldiers, came out
The women crowded around him. but the SOL

shouting and screaming from inside the prison.

listening to cries that came from the prison.
We learned the next day what had happened,
when the one man who had escaped crept into
his home to be hidden.
When Passelt Pacha arrived at the prison he
told the men who had been gathered that word
had come from COnstantinOple the Arme-
mans were not loyal to Turkey in the war, and
that they had been plotting to help the allies.
He demanded that the prisoners tell him what
they knew of such plots. Every one of them
assured him there had been no such plotting, that
the Armenians wanted only to live in peace with
their Turkish neighbOrs, obey the Sultan and do
him whatever service was demanded of them
