If the many occurrences in the Balkans of a romantic nature could be gathered together there would be enough of them to supply story tellers for hundreds of years. The following 1s a sample: Not far from Adrianople there lived a country girl named Tarissa. She was a Christian inbabiting a reglon ruled by the Turks. Tarissa’s home was just south of the border line be- tween Turkey and Roumelia. Ong day a party of Roumelians headed by a young man, Boris Lovatz, came down ried off some Roumelinn women. Be- fore his return he had met Tarissa and there had resulted a love affair. Lo- vatz was successful in rescuing the | women be had come for and went back { into Roumelia. l Had 1t not been for having met Ta- | rissa he might never have come Into | Turkey again and been safe from the | revenge due him for the rescue. But ‘there is no risk a man will not take for love, and it was not long before he was again across the border ov a visit | to his sweetheart. Indeed he came so often that it got out among the Turks that this enemy had been captivated by a girl and was making periodical visits to her. him, One day the spy who was selected | for this service went to a Turkish offi- cer who was on duty in the neighbor- So a watch was set for 'hood and told him that Borls was with | Tarissa. The officer directed several | of his men to mount their horses, and. placing himself at their head, be rode toward the hamlet where Tarissa lv- ed. Dusk was falling. and the Turk. before reaching the hamlet, directed | (=3 hd !hh men to remain where they were i and rode forward alone to reconnoliter, ‘ for he knew that Boris was as slippery | as an ecel and if he was aware that a f orce was coming to take him he would be off like the wind. ‘When near Tarissa’s home the officer i approached cautjously. and since it was , dark be reached a window without be- ing seen. I[n the room into which he ' looked were Boris and Tarissa. Boris trying to induce the girl to go | back with bim and become his wife. 8he hesitated since he was marked for destruction in Turkey and could never | come back with her to her home. So intent were they with each other that they did not notice the appearance of the Turk at the window till they heard a click and, looking up, saw him level- .| ing a pistol at Boris.

B The next move of the Turk was to get his prisoner to his men or his doomed and, preferring to die by a bul- his hand to his bip for a weapon. But ' he had unclasped his belt and laid it | on a chair, toward the chair, and, anticipating his | intention to die defending himself, lhe | threw herself between him and his weapon. This placed her between the officer | and her Jover. Since the former could not shoot without killing her he sprang ' in through the window gnd, covering Borls, ¢Wlled on him to Surrender. There was nothing else for the captive to do since he had nothing with which to make a defense except to induce his men to his prisoner. The latter was not an easy thing to do, for the men were beyond call. and he had no one | to send for them. Keeping his pistol ! pointed toward Boris, he glanced out through the window to see if any one was near, for he was in a Christian bamlet, and if he attempted to drive | mined opposition we could not board his captive to his men he might get ! a bullet from some one of the little . clump of houses. «During these few moments in which , he was obliged to keep 80 many things | in his mind there were two very im- portant matters that he failed to grasp. One was Tarissa and the other Boris’ | belt, to which was slung his pistol, ! though he may not have seen the lat- ter. The Turk's glance through the window enabled Tarissa to take a step behind her she might reach the weapon. Not seeing any one without to send for his men, he ordered Boris to pre- |cede him through the doorway and out of the house. Boris obeyed. and as the men passed out, the Turk keep- ing his eyes fixed on his prisoner, Ta- rissa possessed herself of Boris' pistol. | She now had every advantage, for {'she was behind the Turk. Only the | knowledge that her lover would die a ! frightful death enabled her to kill a man in cold blood. Stealing up close to the Turk. she shot him through the head. % i backward so that by placing her hand ; | Boris turned, saw the Turk fall and | anq towed into port. Not a man lv- { Tarissa with a smoking pistol in her hand. “Go,” she said. “There must be oth- ers near.” ' Without a word he sprang on to the ! soldiers were heard coming. Boris escaped. Tarissa hid in the { darkness for a time. then set out to Join him. Neither of them ever entered Turkey uglln for they knew that Boris would ! be killed and Tarissa would meet a | worse fate. In their home in Rou- | melia they were safe. Tarissa saw his eye turn { A Lunatic Crew By M. QUAD Capyright. 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. We were due east of the islaud of Luzon, one of the Pbilippine group. and heading down the China sea with a cargo for London when we cau the tail of a typhoon. \We were Iy.nx to and muking fairly good weather of" it when a Spanish ship, also Iyiug to. hove into sight. She was lighter and drove faster to leeward. She was about a mile to windward of us w first sighted. and no great at was given her until it was she was drifting =quarety do us. As she came neurer we siw il her crew were dancing ahoutr un ner decks like a lot of drunken wen and paying no attention to the storm. Her foretopmost had gone overboard, nud much of her canvas had blown away. and she was being held in the wind's eye by a tarpaulin set in the rizging A sheer of the wheel would have sent the Spanish ship clear of us by half n cable’s length, but the fellows drifted down without paying us the s| attention. and_she_ did not mov w teii feet AW shie rode past We couil look right into the eyes of her crew They were about thirty in number, and they yelled and screamed at us like so many lunatics. Brief as was the time, we all noticed one pecniiari ty about them. Beyond cursing the Spanish crew for a gang of idiots we had little to say The idea of fear of the storm had made them take to drink. as is often the case, and they were going to Davy Jones' with a jag on. Six hours later the storm broke, and we headed our course, but ‘within six hours we were pitching about on the troubled sea without way enough to ruffle a feather. I turned in at 8 o'clock that night and turned out again at midnight for the morning watch. After midnight the sea began to go down very fast, and at 2 o'clock there was only what you might call a tumble on. It was then that we faintly caught the sound of voices in whooping and singing to the south of us. It was thick night, and nothing could be made out. but at 4 o'clock we got a light breeze and had not been wafted along a knot when we had the Spanish ship again under our eyes. All her topmasts were gone now, while a portion of her bulwarks was smashed in, and she looked a bad wreck. We headed for the wreck ut once. and when we came within bailing distance we asked if help was wanted. The reply was a chorus of shrieks and I screnms, while many of the men shook their fists at us in deflance. It looked like a case of mutiny, and our captain was at a loss to know what step to take. Before he could make up his mind the Spaniards bad lowered a boat and pulled for us. Every one of the crew piled into the boat, and we saw them grab up belaying pins, capstan bars and whatever else could be used as weapons. The boat came dashing at us with every man yelling and | whooping, and they tried boarding us at once. We had no better weapous | | with which to beat them off. and we | were three less in number, but when we looked into their flerce eyes and saw murder there we struck to kill. They fought like tigers and seemed insensible to blows, but we beat them off at last. nthon Four of their number went to the bottom of the sea with broken lkulls.! and of those pulled away all weye more or less hurt. We knew now that ! !they were lunatics instead of drunken mwen, and we stood by till noon in the hope that they would calm down. They appeared to after awhile, but Just as soon ns we lowered a boat they woke up aguin and raged like wild | beasts. We could understand nothing of their shouts except that they were ! oaths, and in the face of their deter- { their craft. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon hefore we squared away and left them, and then a flerce fight was going on, and at least one man had been thrown overboard to drown, You may well guess that we ahoard the Bristo] were astonished and mysti- fled by the singular incident, but the |elplnnmlnn when it came was very simple In a sense. The Spanish ship bhad a Filipino for a cook. He had trouble with both officers and men and was determined to have revenge. Re- fore sailing from Luzon he had provid- ed himself with a quantity of seed| from the plant known as aripe. Tt is a wild kelp, and a decoction makes a madman of the drinker. How he man- eged to serve it ont to the whole crew | at once will never be known, but that | was what he did and perhaps drank n share himself. The ship was manned by a lunatic crew when she drove { down on us before the gale. and they, were lunatics when we left them fight- ing and drifting. Ten days later the ship, which had become a wreck below | and aloft, was picked up by a steamer Ing or dead was found on board. They | had fought each other to the last and then the sole survivor had sought| death beneath the waves. The cook | “idegai Ry ariprts i Sgiaiend had probably mixed the poisonous de-| he passed out of sight the Turkish | coction with their coffee or wine soon ' after the storm had struck them.| though not before she was in shape to ride it out. How long it was after we left them no one could say, but very, likely not more than a day or so h'ni passed when the last of the Iunntks gave up his life and the ship went | drifting and drifting with the sun dry-| ing up the hundred bloodstains on her littered deck. | Novel Means of Communication.
