Exterminated Bandits
MOurned i'm Rites

Kirdjali, Bulgaria. Curious sacri-
fetal ceremonies dating back to pre-
Mohammedan times recently were re-
vived by the population of this dis
trict, incorrectly designated as Turk
ish because they are Mohammedans.
The occasion was the determination
of the bandits Ahmed and Mehmed by
a government. posse.
The Mussuf1nan population went
into deep mourning for the bandits, the
chief feature of the mourning cere-
mony being the erection of several
affairs, somewhat similar to Jewish
affairs.
On these affairs, with Mohammedan
ritual, rams without blemish were sac
rihced and rite of feasting and
drinking of brandy (Mohammedans
never drink wine because it is forbid
den by the Koran) was carried on I'M
til early morning.
The exterminated bandits are re-
garded as heroes by this remnant of a
vanished race.

Life Pleasanter for
Prisoners in Prussia

Berlin.-Prussian prisons are now
making the life of well-behaved pri-
soners much easier, and endeavoring
to lead prisoners back to normal life
by modifying their punishment to the
same degree that they show them
selves worthy of confidence.
The hair of prisoners is no longer
shaved off, and light rooms decorated
with towering plants are given. to
wrongdoerst who behave themselves
and are industrious. They are also
given better food. Imprisonment in
darkened rooms has been abandoned
entirely. Working hours are reduced
from ten to nine daily in the case of
men who show an inclination to study,
and conduct themselves in an orderly
manner when not at work.

Then he bowed with a comic opera

With petulant gesture she brushed
away the moisture that hung in

by a light that appeared weirdly In
the middle of the road almost at
their front wheels, waving slowly
to the right and left.

Kenilworth muttered and. jamming
on his brakes, brought the car to a
stop. Heavy, forbidding faces
emerged from the fog on either side
of them. Joanna cried out Kenil-

her at the head of man who
reached in to her, but his arms were
seized in an iron grip and twisted
dexterously behind him. A cultural

if she, too, were thinking. He saw,
too, that Kenilworth was holding
her tightly.
When the music died in a plain
tive bar, the dancers stood, expec-
tant Of the customary encore. The
lights, which had been dimmed,
flared, however, and roll Of the
orchestra drums announced an I'M
wonted interruption. From the
balcony railing a voice called,
"Monsieurs ct Madamesl" All who
were in the room glanced up, curl
ously, at the club house host, who
stood at the rail, leaning forward
over the dance floor.
II am desolate, my friends" the
functionary called out, before the
necessity must urge upon you all.
I must ask you sorrowfully to make
your departures from my hospital
tiles as soon as may be convenient
for you. The mist, Of which you
must have taken note as you so
kindly came up to our club house
carrier in the evening, has risen fast
and densely. Soon your car lamps
will be of no use to you. Even now
you must go down very carefully.
If there be any Of you whose humor
it is to remain with us until day
light, when the sun will chase the
fog away, I assure you Of my well
come. Those Of you who feel it
your duty to descend before the
night has passed, must go at once
and very, very cautiously. In
little while it will be too late"
There was an instant babel OF
voices and the rustic of those who,
for their various reasons, must at
tempt the descent rather than re-
main at La Turbie during the night.
Brandon, who had risen from his
table, watched Joanna and Kenil-
worth. He saw that both Of them
turned Immediately toward the foyer
where Joanna had left her wrap.
Then he slipped out the door and
went to the big car in which Antoine
awaited.
"As L expected" he said to the
Monegasque, she will not remain.
Be ready to pull out when they ap-
proach their car. We want not more
than two or three cars between

ously. An attendant was ordering
departures, insisting upon an in
terval of two minutes between them.
Brandon waited until Joanna, her
wrap held close about her. her mask
in her hand now, had climbed into
the seat beside Kenilworth. Then
he touched Antoine's arm, and, at
the next signal from the starter,
the big car slid away.
In the smaller car Kenilworth re-
marked, grimly; It'll be a test of
nerve, but Wen make it II anyone
does" The girl seemed to detect a
note of detection in his tone. She
slipped her hand under his arm.
I'm sorry, Roddy." she said. you
were wonderful, and am conceited
enough to think you meant all that
you said. But you just didn't sweep
me off my feet as / thought you
might. I suppose there must be
something old-fashioned about me
after all. Your arms are awfully
comforting, my dear. but I couldn't
have the feeling that the thorns
would just have to grow on them.

rotten. but couldn't help 1t. I feel
better, for it, too. I'm sure OF my
self, anyway"
IT don't know" he said, but
what you've got the right idea at
that. Better than mine. I almost
asked you to marry me, and that's
wholly against my principles"
I'm glad you didn't" she re-
turned. I'm afraid I might have
given in to that"
The starter appeared at their run
ning-board and asked them to pro-
coed. They crept noiselessly out of
the parking yard. Until they came
to the first turn, some sixty yards
away. the Pickering lights from the
clubhouse aided them. Then, when
they had swerved sharply to the left
they were wrapped in wet, almost
impenetrable obscurity. Ahead they
could see only the faint glimmer Of
their own headlightss
Twice they bumped into cars
stalled at the inner side of the road.
Each time they were called out to
by members of party going back
afoot-even women in fragile slip

soggy from the damp-rather than
fight the descent any longer.

and struggled, but the grip on his
arms left him powerless. The lantern
was brought closer. BY it's pale light
they saw that dozen men
surrounded the car and that fire
arms cleaned DULY in their hands.
FTER her first cry of alarm
IA Joanna sat rigid. Something
IL of her fright shone in her
eyes, and Kenilworth was conscious
that her face was pale. Otherwise
she gave no sign. The gruff voice
of the leader of the evil crew was
heard again.
ut was ordered that you both de-
scend. We have not great patience.

Kenilworth advised Joanna to step
out quietly. I'VE must go through

probably viii rob us with thousand
pardons and then politely let us go.

The one who had been holding
onto Joanna's wrists released them
when she was in the road. She ran
around the car to Kenilworth's side
and from this position glared def
antly at the footpads who surrounded
them. One of them caught the red

men closed in around the pair and
they were ordered to walk with

road past a hut which Kenilworth
recognized as the one before which
the big car ahead of them for the
first portion of their ascent, had
stopped and dropped behind them.
Behind the hut they entered a cluster

There they were instructed to climb

she recognized 1t as the one they
had passed on the road, but was not

wheel; one who knew every trick OF
the road and picked his way surely
through the mist to the final turn
which revealed the dim lights OF the
club house just ahead. Here the
car stopped and the women were
ordered to descend and proceed alone
