more than one Kafir village, hanging
suspended, as it We're, almost in mid

notoriouSly bad reputation, we hesi-
tated to ask them the way Not with
out some miSgivingS, we climbed the
steep ascent until we gained small
village of some 20 houses. Shah Baz,
who acted throughout as our inter-
prefer, asked to see the headman, and
that parsonage at once showed him
self. He was inOrdinately vain pomp-
GUS and stupid, and every statement
we made he fatty contradicted When
ne heard to what family l belonged,
however, he abandoned his offensive
tone and addressed me courteously as
an equal, Ikbal Ali Shah writes in
Asia Magazine. He allotted good
enough house to us, mentioning with
a rather unpleasant laugh that recent
tribal squabbles had provided little
more house room in the village than
usual. He informed us, indeed that
several of his young men were out
on foray across the hills.
Asian, the headman, grew more con-
descending. and. feeling that we must
return his hospitality, we invited him
to dinner. He refused the invitation
rather haughtily. however, and issued
one, which sounded very like a com
mand, that we should dine with him.

very cordially received. He cIerred
