At each end of the building was

The other loft was sort of indoor
barnyard for horses, cows, pigs and
chickens.
The chief asked us what we

Some of the Lolos never before

at Lanchang, a Lolo village. The

Received Rifles for Opium.
Twenty years ago, the Lolos had
no weapons. Encouraged by the
Chinese to grow opium, they since

I saw old and new American, Brit

black turbans, an ornament Nthey

There were few women about,

and colored cloths around their
necks which, like the mems, ap-
