 For state reasons the evidence of tho boy, Reeve. had been suppressed. and all the long May day was worn through with long speeches. Lord Bacon was very skilfull in his testimony, but his proofs were vague. When night came and Somerset left the court house. none knew whether or no he was guilty. but all knew he was doomed to doe.

bors. Vlachs and Greeks have modified the Tosks. or South Albanians. The wild CT part of wild Albania. and the more primitive among its people, The Ghegs are in the north, along the River Drin, where the Serbians now are re- inforcing their claims by capture.
 The Drin is formed by the conflu- ence of the Black Drin, which rises in the beautiful Lake Orchida. and the mountain born White Drin. The Dri nproper flows due west before it empties into the Adriatic near Lake Scutari, south of Dalmatia, hair-trig- ger littoral of postwar politics.
 North of the sOrin Is a mountain land, the Karst a Sahara of rock, akin to a fireless cooker in its effect after a hot day. Here live tribes, unconsci- ous of national influences, except to fight invaders. Only once, under Scan- derberg, Kosciuszko of Albania. did they achieve brief national unity. but it flew apart agains upon that hero's death.
 Here is the land of the blood feud, a code by which % per cent. of the men in some tribes are killed off in their | prime. Yet this practice is not to be | confounded with mere lawlessness. Ra- ! ther it is a poor substitute for any recognized legal system or any central power to enforce justice.
 Tt is both more rigid and severe, and more elaborate, than the common law of advanced nations. One student of its working found that a failure to make good a promise of a trifling pre- sent cost a dizen lives in a day. Be- cause one man killed a pig that was eating his crops, the male relatives of the pigs owner killed many of the pig slayer's clan over long period of years.
 Under such a system male rela- tionships assume great importance. A mans third cousin becomes his broth CT a woman family ties, outside her parents, husband, or brothers are mat ters of small moment. In many places there is no consciousness of kinship be- tween niece and aunt.
 "But the qualifications of this same code makes woman's position higher | in Albania than in the Orient. or even in many a more modernized region oi Europe. For one thing the man who has blood foe is immune from attack while in company of a woman. Some men are known not to have gone abroad for years without female es- cort
 During times of feuds which amount to tribal warfare. women attend large iy to outdoor duties. Marriage is by contract; generally arranged upon ths birth of a child A woman exercises no choice but has veto power in re- spect to her husband.
