AN EVENING ATTACK, The Easy Way Travelers Are Held Up In Savage Europe. The Balkans ca: bast of cities which are miniature replicas of Lon-_ don and Paris, declares Mr. Harry De pede the author of "Through Sav- rope." These unre civilized cen- rl mre the remoter districts are, as of yore, hotbeds of outlawry and brig- andage, where you must travel with a revolver if each pock pass the night at a squalid inn where our driver had taken us. Failing to persuade us, the old villain disappeared and so effec- tively plied our driver with sliwowits that he could not sit up on the box un- til sunset. 'as therefore dark be- fore we could set out, along a narrow through dense pine forest. But the gamo little team dashed along and must have covered about a mile when there came a yiolent lurch, foliowed by a crash, and I found my- self in the dusty road within an inch or so of unplensantly active iron heels. The driver had been hurled by the shock clean over the horses' heads and lay motionless. Fortunately my companion, like my- self, was uninjured, and we set to Work to repair the damage and sare the plunging and terrified ponles to -- their-le A pine tree which had fallen poke the track was the cause of the d ter, but the carriage was luckily para and only a trace was broken, which 1 hastened to repair with the aid of ropé and a jackknife.

'suddenly ex: claimed my friend, and I turned has- tily, to discover perhaps twenty silent, shadowy forms, which had apparently sprung out of the carth around us. There was no "Your money or your life!' business about this strange band, but its methods were quite as effec- tual. "You will give us 200 dinars"-- about £8--"and we will help you shift that tree," said the spokesman in Ser- vinn, and I instantly recognized the voice as one I had heard that after- noon in the Jnn. esistance was of course useless, for a match was kindled by the speak- er ostensibly to light a cigarette, but probably .o° reveal the gieam of fire- arms in every man's belt.

From the earliest period the members of the university and the townspeople were engaged in continual broils, breaking out sometimes into such Violence that bloodshed ensued. The townspeople, however, appear to have had the best of it, and so again and again their an- tagonists withdrew from the place and left Oxford withiat a university.
