(Continued from Ninth Page.) tomb, and situated on one of the high : , bills about four miles from the city. We foolishly selected a guide from the Street. After engaging him he told us we had better leave our watches and valuables in the city, as there was a bund of robbers near the tomb. My friend heeded the caution and left all of '' lila valuables in trust until his return. I laughed at the idea of robbers in " broad daylight and took all my treas ures, which amounted in all to about five dollars, with me. I had yet to ; learn that American customs are of little value to the traveler in the east, i Mt. i . Pargos was a long, hot climb, but with the aid of our guide the as cent was made at last. We saw three queer looking men about a half a mile's dlftance away, but their presence caused no alarm. We came at length to the tomb of the famous martyr Po lycarp, which is located in the center of the amphitheater in which it is said that he suffered martyrdom. The de : -scent into the grave was very steep. I : said to Father O'Hearn, "Let us go down into the tomb." The guide pro . tested: "Oh, no; bad men doVm there." 'I thought he was trying to frighten us, and eaid, "What do we care for the . bad men?" I Jumped into the sepul chre, followed by the priest, when sud denly my ear caught the sound of foot steps running rapidly. Turning I tfound our retreat cut off by a wild Arab ; .brigand armed to the teeth, threaten ing our lives if we made any effort to escape. I sprang up the embankment and faced the outlaw, determined to defend myself with the only weapons which nature had given me and the only arm I had with me, if he attempt ed to carry out his threat. Father 'O'Hearn sprang to my assistance, and as we stood there' covering the , Arab two more fierce brigands were seen "coming toward us on a run to the aid of ithe first. . Our guide showed the white "feather, and after standing for a mo ment quaking with fear, turned and ran Up the street Incline over the brow of ,the hlil with somewhat the gait of a. running camel. Father O'Hearn drew his knife and said, "I am going, to use 'my knife.", I; looked for a stone, as I .had no weapon with We. We thought, however, now that our guide had left ub, "discretion now seemed to be the better part of valor," so fe sprinted af ter our leader, followed by the three Arab brigands, who came yelling and screaming after us. Our early training in athletics came to our aid and we succeeded in outrunning our pursuers, and passing over the brow of the hill, they gave up the chase. We returned i down the mountain side in an unfre- 'qtiented path unused by travelers ordi ' narily. Upon reaching the cityt we learned there that the story our guide : bad told us was no idle tale, and we were quite sure that our experience Tvas no cunningly devised fable. We learned that the tomb of Polycarp had A been for some time the resort of a band of brigands from the island of Crete, -and that several travelers had been robbed by this robber band. An alarm had been given in the city because of bur delay In returning and a searching rty Was nDOUt to oe organized iu search for us when -we appeared with out the loss of life or our possessions. From that time on In our tour through the land of the Turk we had always with ua a mounted guard. :' ; 3 Chapter VI. "TURRET AND THE TURKS." On the whole We were not sorry to leave Smyrna. We bade farewell to v that tropical city, the land of figs, grapes, . pomegranates and brigands without regret. After a day or two of calm sailing we steamed through the . Sea-of Marmora and the Dardanelles to Constantinople, the capital of Turkey, a great city of a million inhabitants; it is .beautiful for situation, being located on six; hillB, along the ehores of the Golden Horn, Bosporus and Sea of Marmora, and is composed of three chief aities Stamboul, the site of the ,neie'n city, and Para and Galata, of our mode .modern times. These are joined by a bridge across the Golden Horn.- On this bridge it is estimated that fine hundred thousand people cross daily, paying ten paras for the privi lege of walking over it, and after we consider the stream of humanity con tinually crossing and recrosslng the bridge, . we ehould think this to be a ' conservative estimate. In Constantinople we had our first experience with the officialism which confronts you in a great many places In Europe and in the Orient. Our pass "port were taken from us by the Turk- ish officials and twenty-five piastera were extorted from us before they were returned. Upon entering, the city one ' .of the first things that attracts the at tention of a Btranger are the dogs. jTbey are here by the thousands; they '. are wild dogs; they do not belong to anybody. No one claims them, yet all defend them. They are called the city ',bottrd of health There were little ' flogs and big dogs, sick dogs and well 'dogs, dogs with ears and dogs without them, dogs without tails, dogs with broken legs, with mauled and bleeding heads; it was without exception the "doggonest" city we had ever seen. "; Constantinople has two hundred and thirty mosques. We visited a number of- the most famous. The oldest and largest Is the Mosque of St. Sophia, first built by Contrtantlne the Great as a Christian church In A. D. 326, and by ' him. named St. Sophia. It hae been several times destroyed by fire, but each time it has been rebuilt in greater splendor. The present structure was ' built by Justinian in an effort to eclipse all former buildings. Marble from ev ery known quarry was brought to con struct its walls, gold was not fine enough for the altar, but bems set in ;.u;a uud silver were aflclorl. The mn1n dome Is one hundred and elghty-flve feet from the ground and one hundred and Beven feet in diameter. 'When the day of dedication came Justiman ex claimed, "Glory to God, who hath counted me worthy to complete such a ,,vork. Solomon, I have surpassed thee." " When Constantinople was conquered by Mohammed H.. the Christians who fled by the thousands to the mosques fnr safety were massacred, and the ruiie showed us the print or a numan nnd on the stone pwai, awui mom. ot frnm the floor, wnere it is saiu mo- hammed put his hand dipped in the blood Of the Christians, as he rode through the church on horseback, over the bodies of the slain. Then began the dominion of darkness that shall never be dispelled until Turkey passes from the shadow of the Sultan and Moham medanism into the sunlight of a hotter civilization and religi6n. There ie but little use for a person in this dark country to try to become prosperous and powerful, for as soon as he reaches that point he is exiled or put to death by order of the ultan. We were shown a beautiful home on the Bosporus that had belonged to an Ar menian, which had been, confiscated by the king and the owner had disap peared. Neither electric lights or tele phones are allowed in the city. The houses are built of wood and but few of them have been painted. They look weather-worn and old. They have three Sundays In this city. Friday, the Turkish or Mohammedan; Satur day, the Jewish, and Sunday, the Chris tian. We were fortunate .in being there on Friday, the Mohammedan Sabbath, and had the pleasure of seeing the Sultan attend his weekly prayers at the mosque near his palace. The street from the palace to the mosque was sur rounded with mounted cavalry and sol diers by the thousand dressed in beau tiful uniforms, glittering in the sun, with magnificent weapons of the most modern make. These soldiers are the choice and pride of the kingdom. They are the finest body of men physically that I have ever seen, and as I stood observ ing them I could not help but feel that if all the Sultan's soldiers were like these the conquest sf this country would be ho easy task. Shortly after the soldiers had taken their places three carriages, drawn by the finest horses, with negro eunuchs, more than six feet high, walking as at tendants, appeared; the first carriage contained the favorite wives of the ruler, the second the members of his haram, the third the king's sons. Soon the sound of the trumpet, the present ing of arms and the music of the bands announced the coming of the Sultan. At that moment from the minerat came the call to prayer. Then came ipto view a beautiful carriage drawn by two elegant sorrel horses, with gold trimmed trimmings closely surrounded by several hundred soldiers with uni forms of dazzling splendor. In this carriage sat the "Sick Man of the East.',' He looked careworn, frightened and old. Father O'Hearn, who stood in the carriage with me In full sight of the Sultan and the procession, made a motion - to life his opera, glasses. In stantly three, detectives disguised in citizens' c lothes, sprang forward to prevenet him. It seems that the use of opera glasses is prohibited by order of the Sultan. The carriage soon passed into theportals of the mosque. The people and the soldiers waited his re turn from the services, but we hastily returned tk our ship. Just as the sun was going down and the Mohammedan call to prayer was sounded from hun dreds ,of minarets our steamer passed out of the Bosporus Into the Sea of Marmora, and as we. supposed, without interruption to Beirout. But man pro poses and the Turk disposes. The next morning our ship was stopped at the Lazaret, and orders came that before proceeding on our voyage all the pas sengers numbering about one thousand, must land on the island and have their clothes fumigated. Arrangements were however, quickly made with the Turk ish officers whereby the first and sec ond class passengers could be fumiga ted by simply paying one franc. I nev er paid out twenty-five csents more wil lingly In my life than I paid this. The third and fourth class passengers were not so fortunate. They numbered about four hundred; these were all crowded ' into small boats, taken on shore' and stripped of their clothing. Their clothing was then fumigated; and they were compelled to pay one franc besides before they were allowed, to return to the ship. One poor woman, an Armenian; who had been visiting her son in America, and was returning home, died of fright. A rude coffin was built for her on the Sagaline and a lone priest acoompanled her remains to a quick burial on the island. Twenty four hours passed and then the yellow flag was hauled down, the anchor lifted and we were once more on our way to the coast of Syria, About five o'clock we came In sight of the barren Island of Patmos, where John had his revela tion of a new heaven and a new earth. Two days later we arrived at Beirout, which is the chief commercial city of Syria and has a population of one hun dred and twenty thousand. Here we learned that we had just missed our steamer for Haipha and Joffa, and that there would not be another for five days. The priests, however, who were making their pilgrimage to the Holy Land seemed equal to any emergency. They chartered the Prince George for Haipha. and Joppa. As I was left all alone they invited me to go with them. I gladly accepted their invitation, and in less than an hour the Prince George with fifty-two French priests, one American priest and one Methodist Episcopal clergyman on board, were sailing past the evergreen mountains of Lebanon, on past the cities of Tyre and Sidon. We reached Haipha just as the sun was setting. The Turkish officials would' not permit us to land after sundown, so we had toremain on board until morning;, we proceeded at once to make ourselves as comfortable as possible on the .deck of our small ves sel for the night.. I felt after the ex periences o that night, that I could sympathize with" Jacob, who once slept with a stone for his pillow. Just as the sun came up we were permitted to land., - , ,' . Chapter VII.' "AMONG THE HOLY HILLS." Father Poteat, the pilgrims' guide, had made the pilgrimage six times be fore, so now the difflcultiea of travel seemed to be at an end, as all we had to do was to folow our leader. Car riages were in waiting to take us to the table land on top of Mt. Carmel, where the Prophet Of God had the victorious contest with the Prophets of Baal. From thence wo went to the cavo or grottb In which Elijah lived, over which a large monastery has been erected. ' After being royally enter tained by ho monks we pressed on to ward Nazareth, a drive of twenty-three miles. No sooner had we descended Mt. Carmel, however, than one of the drivers of the fourteen wagons which composed our caravan, shouted, "The best horges take the lead!" In a mo ment all was confusion and one of the wildest races began over the roughest of roads for first place. Our driver lm3 Uuee horses abreast, two of which were Arabian horses from the desert, not more than half broken. Our driver reined his horses to one side of the road and lashed them into a gallop, which soon developed into a run. Over rocks and stones which seemed impossible to pa?s the horses vlambered, pulling the heavy wogon along with Its now four frightened occupants. I shouted at the driver, toohlm by the ghoulders, threat ened to throw lilm out of the wagon if he did not stop the horses, but on we went, passing every team but one; this one came Into violent collision with our wagon and for a moment both car riages seemed in danger of being wrecked, but with a quick turn the horses were pulled to the right, and with another Bharp turn again to the left, in triumph our driver, with his trio of horses took the lead; then turn ing to me he said, "You thing I do not understand Englieh, you think I do not understand my business. It was for your nke that I wanted to take the lead, the advantages of which you will see later." We forgave the fellow after the race was won and the scare was over. He proved to be an excellent guids, as he once lived in Nazareth and was famil iar with all the historical places along the way. All along the journey we met caravans of camels heavily laden and hundreds of small donkeys with their pack saddles on their backs, bearing merchandise of every kind. After several hours of slow driving through the valley of Jezreel and up the steep hills of Cana of Galilee we paused to visit the house in which, it was said, Christ performed His first miracle at the wedding feast of chang ing the water Into wine. The original water Jars were exhibited and we were invited to drink some of th wine which was left over from the ancient feast (?) After resting a while we pushed on toward Naznreth. We arrived there Just at eventide. Nazareth Is certainly one of the pret tiest cities in Turkish territory. There are several stone buildings there that would be a credit 'ao any town. The majority of the houses are low,, mostly one story, and all built of atones. It is wonderful if not miraculous how the customs and costumes of the people of Nazareth have remained the same, unchanged through all these centuries since Christ came to the earth to dwell. It can but confirm the faith of him who sees It in the historic Christ. Our first visit was to the "Church of the Anunclation." We saw the star that marks the supposed spot where the Angel Gabriel appeared unto the Virgin and said, "Hall thou that art highly favored; the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and be hold thau shalt conceive In thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call His name Jesus." We were next taken down a flight of stairs and In a natural stone cave saw the home where Mary dwelt. The sight of the carpenter's shop, where Jesus doubtless worked at the carpenter's bench with Joseph, was to me of great interest. I had the curiosity also to go into one of the many little carpenter's shops of Nazareth, and Saw the work men using the same kind of bench and the same kind of tools, which -the "Car penter's Son" used in the days of the "Son of Man." We walked to the "well of Mary." It was from this spring evidently that the Virgin Mary carried the water for her home, for this Is the only spring In the place, and here the whole city comes for their water supply. Two streams of water flow from the fountain. Here women are constantly coming and going with their water Jars. It requires one minute to fill a jar and when filled It wlU weigh about forty pounds, yet these- women skillfully balance them on their heads, and carry them with perfect ease. Here in this same little town of Naza reth Jesus spent his boyhood days; here he tolled and labored until he was thir ty years of age. . - - . , A thrill of Joy came over me when I realized that I had been permitted to visit the home of Jesus, to talk the narrow streets through which he had so often walked, and to bps with my own eyes the scenes so familiar to Him. We spent the Sabbath day also at Nazareth and I worshipped In the Chruch of the Anunciatioii. Our next Journey was to the Sea of Galilee. Passing out of Nazareth, to our left rose the Mt. of Precipitation, where the Nazarenes made the attempt to cast Christ headlong from the cliff; then across the plain was little Her mon, near the top of which was the city of Naln, where Christ raised the wid ow's son from the dead, and farther up Endor, where King Saul went to con sult the Witch of Endor. We now be gan our long' Journey to the sea. At length the'mountains of Zebulon were reached, to the south stood the Mount of Beatitudes, on whose summit our Lord sat while He delivered his won derful Sermon on the Mount, and not far distant we passed by the mountain where Christ fed the multitude with the five loaves and two fishes.. To our right was Mount Tabor. This moun tain has been associated with' the Transfiguration- of Christ, the moun tains of Moab, the highest peak of which is Mount Plsgah, where Moses was burled are plainly seen in the dis tance; then suddenly as we turn around the spur of the mountain height the beautiful blue waters of Galilee came Into. sight. "Oh, 'Galilee,, blue Galilee Where Jesus loved so much to be; Oh, Galilee, blue Galilee,-' Come sing your song again to me. On the ehores of this silvery sea Je sus once walked and called Andrew and Peter to leave their nets and follow Him, and He would make them fishers of men. Here Christ once walked on the water and rebuked the winds, and said to the waves, "Peace, bo still," and the winds and the waves obeyed His will. Here occurred the miraculous dr.tusht of fishos, end on the broad strand of pebbles, mixed with: shells, Christ revealed Himself to Simon Pe ter after His resurrection. Galilee Is indeed a beautiful body of water, thirteen miles long' and six miles wide, pear-shaped and placed like a beautiful diamond with mountain of gold for a setting. We arrived at Ti berius about the middle of the after noon and Immediately took boats for Magdala, where once lived Mary Mag dalene. Our boats, rowed by three dusky Arabs, soon reached this desolate hamlet. Only a few mud huts remain of this once flourishing place. We saw one characteristic sight as we looked into one of the mud hovels of Magdala. An entire family, father, mother, chil dren;' a donkey and a goat, all dwell ing harmoniously together in one house. After seeing the town we had an' opportunity t bathe ino the sweet waters of the sea. We returned by starlight and were entertained over night at the monastery. Very early in the morning, before it was yet day, I aross and went forth to sit by the sea side. How beautiful the Sea of Genes saret looked in the grey of the morning. Soon the sun rose over the mountains of Moab, casting a golden sheen over the waters; the fish which are now just as abundant as they were in the time of Christ, could be seen feeding In the clear waters. A lone fisherman stood waist deep In the water throw ing his line with one hand and using the other as a reel. It was a sublime sight to my weary eyes and one never to be forgotten. I returned to the monastery, and climbing its steep narrow stairway to the top of the building, had another broad view of the lake. Yonder in the distance was Capernaum, the ruins of Bethsaida and Chorazln and the town of Mary Magdalene; just opposite was Gadara, where Christ healed the man possessed with demons, and the steep place is still pointed out to the travel er where the demon possessed swine ran down into the sea and were drowned. As I looked around I perceived that the city of Tiberias was just waking up; (he people were sleeping out on the housetops. I saw a whole family awaken, arise and make their toilet; first the father arose, this of course us It should be, the husband should al ways arise first; then the wife and af terward the two children. After dining on St. Peter's fish our caravan started on the return trip with the purpose of visiting Mount Tabor on the way, and after climbing the mountains of Zebulan I turned for the last time to look upon the lake, and there came to my vision a picture that no poet can describe nor no painter place on canvas. We were now met with a company of Bedouins with a drove of donkeys. Our Journey to Mt. Tabor was to be made in the backs of these animals. I picked out a good fat donkey. I think I was a little proud of the fact that he looked a little better than his fellows; alas! he proved to be dumb and lazy. I am not a professional at riding any kind of a beast, but I managed by the continual prodding of the driver, to keep up with the procession. I got along very well until we came to a steep descent, when BUddenly, without a word .of warding my donkey stum bled and fell down, striking his head; so did I fall, and as nearly as I could Judge hit my head In about the same place. I felt very sorry Indeed for the pood donkey; he must have hurt his head, and I am quite sure that I hurt mine. After extracting my feet from the stirrups I arose, remounted and proceeded on the now upward way, for we toon began to climb the almost per pendicular slopes of Mount Tabor. It was a long, Blow climb and the sun was now at Its meridian height. The heat was intense. At last we reached the summit and visited the church of the TransflguraT tlon, and were entertained by the monks. A bountiful repast was set be fore us, but here for the first and only time my strength failed me. I excused myself from the table. Father O'Hearn saw something was the matter ' and sprnng forward and helped me to his room. The monks gave me a wine glass full of liquor or a powerful heart stimulant. After two hours of rest nature revived and I was able to walk down the mountain, mount my donkey and proceed on the journey. It ia an old saying, and a true one, that "all is well that ends well." After a ride of fifteen miles over hill and valley and plain we at length came to the moun tain pass which leads down to the city of Nazareth. It was a steep, narrow and seemingly dangerous descent. 1 Suddenly we came In sight of the town my donkey seemed electrified with new life, for with a bound he started down the limestone path at an astonishing rate of speed; I clung to the saddle, I shouted to the dumb animal, hut all fT" f Pills and bitter waters which act quickly upon the bowels, Irritate and destroy the mucuous linings of the stomach and bowels. A continued use of such remedies inflames the stomach and bowels. The use of the genuine imported Carlsbad SpruUel Sjlt is highly recommended because its action is due solely to its solvent and stimulating properties, without irritating the stomach.

Bo ware of imitations. was of no avail, for on he went. What if he should stumble now? The only consoling thought was that I carried an accident policy with W. K. Newport of New Haven; we passed all the donkeys in the race but one, and at last neck and neck with a large donkey whose rider was one of the priests, we reached the monastery. I dismounted and paid the Bedouin an extra franc for so nearly winning the race, which I am quite sure no one enjoyed but the don key and his owner, and the spectators. ' Leaving Nazareth we returned to Haipha, where we boarded the Prime steamer for Joppa. We had now visit ed the section of country where most of the Master'B mighty works were done. , , , I longed to' see the Promised land as others did and do, that I might -visit the place where He was born, and' see those fields at Bethlehem, in w-hlch the shepherds kept their flocks, that night the gates of Heaven opened and the an gelic choir sang "The Gloria in Excel els." I wanted to climb the hills of Nazareth, that I might walk where the Son of Man w-alked and sit where He sat.' I was anxious to visit the village of Bethany that I might think of Him who- so often was entertained in the home of Mary Martha and Lazarus. My heart yearned to see the Mt. of Oliver, that I might pln.ee my feet in that foot print of my Lord when He stood on Oli vet brow, and beholding the city of Jerusalem "wept over it," that I might with mine own eyes, see Mt. Zion beau tiful for situation, the Joy of the whole earth. But from what rises to-day this world wide attraction to the Holy Land. Is It because of the excellency of its government. Ah! government it has none except that exercised . by the bloody and ferocious Turk, whose chief business is to keep the people in abject servitude &t the point of the sword and dagger. Is it because of its territorial extent? No. The Palestine is among the heart of countries only 140 miles long and 40 miles wide. It Is endeared to the hearts of men because the Son of God once walked its Holy Hills and made It forever sacred by His holy life, sacrificial dee.th, glorious resurrection and triumphant ascension. "JERUSALEM AND ENVIRONMENTS." Landing at Jaffa is quite an experi ence to a novice. The water in the har bor Is nearly always tempestuous and the sea rough. It was no exception to the rule for when we were lowered into the small boat, a big wave washed over us and for a time it looked rather seri ous, but we were landed safely and suc cessfully passed the Turkish officials, and the custom house, 'Here I said (Continued on Kloventh Page.)
