Captain Ballaban was recalled from the raid by our brother, Sinam. aga of the division to which the captain belongs; but, alas, the sword of Scan- derbeg has loosed Sinam’s soul for flight to paradise. and he could not testify to this man‘s fidelity. But I know the order of Sinam. In this very tent it was written. And, though the faithful messenger who carried it was slain in after conflict, the order was executed by Captain Ballaban to every letter. Every moment of his absence from the raid is accounted for on my table " tapping his forehead as he spoke. . u .- “You, Lovitsch, testinea truly as to Captain Bailaban‘s absence and may go, but you twin rascals who swore to his escape with the girl, your heads shall go to Caraza Boy and your black souls to the seventh hell.

Down with the lying villain!” rose the cry. the crowd beginning to move, as if animat- ed by a common spirit, to seek the em vious commandant of the neighboring corps. But they halted at the tent side, waiting for the sign of permis- sion from their chief, who by the mo- tion of his hand forbade the assault which would have brought on a terrific battle between the janizaries and their rivals throughout the army. “We shall deal with Caraza Bey hereafter it his shame does not send him skuiking from the camps,” said the chief. resuming his sitting posture and restoring order about him. “Summon the witnesses again,” he proceeded. - - .nn_s Lâ€".‘â€" (on J». brothers, the agas, Wlu l‘cmazu, a..- Captain Ballabun.” The sides of the tent were put up.

Besides." said he. low- ering his voice. “I have special service for you elsewhere which cannot be delayed.” When the agas. making the low courtesy, retired. the chief walked with Baliahan. “Captain, 1 haveheard no report of the errand upon which you were sent.” “No, sire. I was arrested the mo- ment I returned to camp." “You succeede'd. I know. from the movements of the enemy. although the slowness of the padlshah in ordering an advance when Scanderbeg was di- verted by your ruse prevented our tak- ing advantage of it.” “Yes,” said Ballaban, “I succeeded as well as any one could, not being second- ed from headquarters. But I did some service incidentally and picked up some helpful information. The night after leaving the hamlet we fired I fell in with a company of Arnaouts who were coming to the rescue. They would have got into the narrow valley before our men got out had I not managed to trick them. I was in disguise and readily passed for an Arnaout lout, giving them false infqz'mation about the di- rection our party had taken and so lost them an hour or two and saved the throats of Lovitsch’s fellows, a mere rabble. good enough for a raid, but not to be depended upon for a square fight. But we must have no more raids. Scanderbeg has means of communica- tion as quick and subtle as if the clouds were his signals and the stars were his beacons.” “I then came upon a Dibrian settle- ment, pretending to be a fugitive from the valleys to the north, and entertain- ed the villagers with bugaboo stories about the hosts of men with turbans on their heads and little devils on their shoulders who had destroyed all that country and were now pouring down toward the south. - “By the way.” continued Ballaban. laughing, “there was an old fellow there, very lame. with a patch over one eye, who could hardly stand leaning on his staff, he was so palsied with age. But the one eye that was open was altogether too bright for his years, and ,, A--â€"L ‘Aâ€" An- u; tvov uâ€"v his legs didn’t shake enough for one who rattled his staff so much. So I put him down as one of Scanderbeg’s lynxes; they are everywhere. I describ- ed to him the Moslem movements in such a way as to let a trained soldier believe that we had entirely changed front, with the prospective raising of the siege of Sfetigrade and alliance with the Venetians for carrying the war farther to the north. The old codger took the bait and asked fifty questions in the tone of a fellow whose head had been used for a mush pot in. stead of a brain holder, but every ques- , __ I_AA- an a GLCuu v- â€" .. tion was in its meaning as keen as a dagger thrust into the very ribs of the military situation. Well, I helped him to all the information he wanted, when, with a twinkle in his eye, he hobbled away as wise as an owl when a fresh streak of daylight has struck him, and ‘ *‘- AAn-‘M *A fh‘l SW85 Ul- UGJ ueâ€"v .__.~ before night the whole country to the borders of Sternogovia was alive with Scanderbeg’s scouts, and every cross- path was a rendezvous of his broken winded cavalry. “I saw one thing which gave me a hint I may use some day.

That worthy was conveniently sent by Sultan Amurath, who had learned of the tend, to look after certain turbulent Caramanians, and. leaving behind him a wake of curses upon all janlzaries. from the chief to the pot scourera, he took his departure for the Asiatic prov- inces. Had he remained. the Turks would have had enough to occupy them with- out this gratuitous melee, for during - AL-A. the night scouts brought word that Scanderbez had massed all his forces that were not behind the walls of Sfetigrade at a point to theclght of the Turkish lines. Hardly had the. army been faced to meet this attack when scouts came from the left. repartlng serious depredations on that flank. Amurath in the uncertainty of the en- emy’s movement divided his host. The Aslatlcs were given the northern and the janizaries the southern defense, ei- ther of them outnumbering any force Scanderbeg could send against them.
