It was a fine, broad river. Mcded by the rain, shallow at the dhore. but swiftly flowing over the stones. Yet even halfway across were great stones not covered by the water. lt was almost possible to step from stone to stone. to the main current. I wondered whether, after all, it were very deep. As I was thus speculating. I came to a deep cart rut, and I saw at a glance. that at any rate, in normal weather oarts found a, fox-ding place htre, I resolved to try what could be. done. I undressed and stuffed my clothes into mv capacious sack. strapped it all over my shoulders, and started on my cold. unpleasant, My would-be host was not offend- ed by my pertinaoit.v, and he told me quite explicitly the way to where the bridge had been. Alas'. it was as he said. I found all the foundations of a substantial wooden structure, but no cross- beams-nothing on which even an acrobat could have made his way norms. "And how do other people come across l" "They don't come." “How long have you lived here '2" "Sixty-four years." "But, surely in sixty-four years some people have crossed to Ot- chemohiri. My map shows an un- broken chum“. a ‘division one' road." My map made no impression on the old fellow. He pointed to the inside of his house. and indicated that I could spend the night there with the pig and the chickens if I liked. As for people coming over, there used to be a. wooden way. but it was washed out to son. long ego. I now he did not know the Rus- sian word for bridge, and tlust his wooden way was the old bridge. I asked where this had been. “Can I wade twrosal" "No." "Is it possible to swim?" "The current is strong.” “How do you go to otohemchiri t" "Don't go." "What! Have you never been to Otehemchiri I" "Never." "But it is only five miles." The old man gruffly beckoned me to come down from the roof and stop babbling! What was my astonishment to see at a short distance a river as wide as the Thames, hurrying on to the sea. "And where is the bridge?" I asked. none." The man led me to his cottage, climbed on the roof, and bade me fq'llow. Then he pointed out the di. rection. The path of the pedestrian through the Caucasus and along the Black Sea is by no means way. An aneedoterby Mr. Stephen Grow ham, that appears in “Changing Russia," illustrates one of the many difheulties of such a trip. Meeting an aged peasant driving an ox team, Mr. Graham asked where the highroad lay. “There is no road," said he. I thought; the answer to be trtu- pidity, so I asked him in which di- rection Otchemchiri lay. By the last milestone it was only eight, vents distant. I could do that, without a. road if I could be sure of, the direction. I u u uh GrTiitFdir" "“ni'r" nra hen-nut an.
