CHAPTER XIV.—(Cont'd _)
After supper the young men moved
to the courtyard, where they built a
fire of driftwood. A buzz of talk arose.
The primitive Gypsy fiddles end gui-
tars began to twang softly '
"Kara will dance," they cried. "Let
Kara dance for the strangers,"
.And Dara floated into the circle of
firelight like a spirit cf the forest. She
still wore only the scanty madder -red
skirt and `torn bodice. The cloud of
her hair tumbed belnv her waist. Her
tiny naked feet barely touched the
ground. Slowly she whirled, and the
Gypsy fiddles caught her time. A roan
with cymbals clashed an accompani-
ment. A flute whistled soprano. She
increased the tempo; she varied her
steps. She was a flower shrinking be-
neath the grass. She was a dove pur-
sued by a falcon. She was a maiden
deserted by her lover. She was a fairy
hovering above the world
Crash! boomed a knock on the street
door. And rap -rap -rap! it was re-
peated. Crash"! again.
The music stopped.
"Heh!" said Tokalji. "Who can it
be in such a hurry at this hour?"
Crash! The door resounded under
the battering of a pistol -butt.
Tokalji crossed to the entrance.
"Less noise there!" he shouted
threateningly. "This is a peaceful
house."
But his manner changed the moment
he opened the wicket. What he said
we could not hear, but we saw him
quickly turn the lock and throw back
a leaf of the door, salaaming low as he
stepped aside. Six men burst in, four
of thein in European clothes, end Nik-
ka and I exchanged a glance of appre-
hension as we recognized the broad
shoulders of their leader and heard his
snarling voice.
Touton LaFitte had arrived With
him were Hilyer, Serge Vassilievich
and Hilmi Bey. The two who brought
up the rear, somewhat sulky and fear-
ful, were the spies we had seen ';n
front of the Pera Palace that morning.
"Can I trust nobody to fulfill my
-orders?" whined Toutou, striding to-
ward the fire. "I tell you to spare no
efforts—and I come to find you singing
and dancing around a fire!"
Tokalji, having refastened the door,
followed him across the courtyard.
"What could we have done that we
have not done?" he retorted. "Was it
our fault that you lost track of the
two missing ones? As for the English
lord and his servant, my two men that
I see with you have shadowed them
day and night."
"And lost them today, as they ad-
mit," snarled Touton. "Lost them for
a whole day! Who knows what has
been accomplished in that time?"
"You are right there," agreed To-
kalji coolly, "and I have just picked
two new nien to take their places. One
of them is a Fr in -c I'ke yourself; the
other is a Tzigane."
"Ha, let lee see that Frank," ex-
claimed Toutou. "I know many of the
Franks who live with the Tziganes."
"Step out, Giorgi Bordu and Jakka,"
called Tokalji.
Nikka sunk his fingers in my arni
in a warning grip, and we stepped
forth from the group of Tziganes clus-
CHAPTER XV.
Vassilievich pushed in front of the
newcomers,
"Is it my imagination," he inquired
softly, "or does the stocky one bear
a resemblance to the Amerikansky,
Nash?"
"By jove, I think you're right!" ex-
claimed Hilyer, speaking for the first
time.
"Be ready," hissed Nikka from the
corner of his mouth, without shifting
his eyes from our enemies. •
His right hand was thrust into his
waist -sash.
"I do not like this business" rasped
Touton, pulling a knife from inside his
vest.
I felt a pressure between Nikka and
myself, and Kara's voice whispered:
" Run, you fools! To the House of
the Married!"
Nikka's pistol flashed blue in the
firelight. •
"Shoot, Jack!" he cried.
A ruddy flame jetted from his muz-
zle, and the spy Petkr dropped dead.
Toutou LaFitte pushed Zlacho in the
line of fire before himself, and dived
into the encircling shadows and Zlacho
crumpled up witIa a broken leg. Tokal-
ji, Hilyer, Vassilievicl' and Hilmi scat-
tered.
"Run!" I heard Nikka shout.
We pelted for the house on our left,
Kara running with us.
We gained the door, dropped the bar
into place, and the next minute the
framework groaned under a weight of
bodies.
"No shooting," yelled Tokalji. "You
fools, you'll have the Frank police in
here!"
"One hundred Napoleons a head for
then," barked Toutou. "Dead or alive."
"Come," Kara said, as a crash
sounded outside.
"They have broken in a window.
Follow me."
She led us into an adjoinin;- room,
where in the thickness of the wall a
narrow stairway corkscrewed upward,
debouching on the upper floor. She
turned to the right and entered one
of the rooms. A ladder leaned against
the wall below a trap door he the roaf.
In a corner stood a bedstead, which
she stripped of its clothes, revealing
th:, cords that served for springs.
"Cut those with youx knife," she
said. "When we take to the roofs we
will need them to help us down again."
Nikka did as she directed, while I
shut the door, and piled the few ar-
ticles of furniture against it. Tokalji's
men were in full cry downstairs.
"There is more than enough rope
here," said Nikka, coiling it on his
arm. "Some of it I ani going to use
for you"
"What?"
Passion dawned in her big eyes.
"You camioc go with us, little one.
We have no place to take you."
"1 tell you I love yot " she answered
proudly.
"I'm not going to hurt you," pleaded
Nikka. "But I must bind you so they
will not suspect that you aided us"
He bound her gently, hand and foot,
without a word, end laid :ler on the
floor of the bed. We ascended the lad-
der and pushed back the trap-door.
"Next house," I panted, and we set
off across the room. Ahead was a drop
of ten feet on to the adjoining roof.
We made it without any difficulty. We
shuffled an cautiously until we came
to the courtyard, which ran clear from
the street front to the old sea-wall.
"No choice," grunted Nikka. "Here's
a chimney. Knot your rope. It can't
be more than twenty-five feet to the
ground"
He event clown first, and I followed

in the direction of Tokalji's house, We
sped out into the street, letting the
door slam behind us. We had not gone
fifty feet when we were seen by Gyp•
sies on the roof of Tokalji's house, and
they, with the woman to help them,
cried the rest of the pack hot on our
trail.
The only thing for us to do in the
ch'cmnstances was to twist and turn
without heed to direction and lose both
pursuers and ourselves in the' break-
neck purlieus of Stamboul. We suc-
ceeded in shaking off the Gypsies fin-

turned to our street clothes.

I have just returned from witness-
ing the. Play for the fourth time, hav-
ing been one of the few Englishmen
who saw it i - 1900, 1910 and 1922. It
may, therefore, be of interest to give
some impressions of the presentation
of this great drama on this occasion.
In the fust place, it is important to
emphasize the change that has taken
place in the conditions under which
the spectator; pass the seven and a
half hours which the Play occupies.
The theatre has been rebuilt. The
seats are very comfortable, and, ex-
cepting for a few 5s. and 10s. seats in
the very front, all are now under cover
though the people of Oberammergau
have wisely preserved the open front
of the theatre through which one
looks upc r the mountain which, when
I was there, still carried the remains
of the winter's snow. The new theatre,
which has cost a million and a half
marks, is a triumph of good taste and
excellent architecture; its acoustic
properties are admire,.i.; and the
players can .e '-.ard and seen by
every Member of the audience in
every part of the vast building, which
will seat 5,400.
The Christus of 1870,:80 and '90 was
Josef Mayr, a great genius, and none
who saw and heard him will ever for-
get what a remarkable man • he was.
When I first saw him he was the Chor-
agus, who gave the Epilogue and led
the choir. His place in that capacity
has this year been taken by Anton
Lang, who also has the remarkable
privilege, of taking the part of the
Christus for three successive Passion
Plays, 1900, 1910 and 1922. He also
is a great persrality, and like Josef
Mayer now speaks the Epillgue and
acts as Choragus.
Of all thos, actors in the first plays
that I saw the man who was out-
standingly a genius from the historic
point of view was Hans Zwink, who
now takes only a minor part in the
Play. Anyone who was at those ear-
lier plays and hears the name of
Zwick mentioned will at glace respond
because of his recollection-. of the
ability of that player. Ths ;,arts of
Mary, the Mother of our Lorci, and
Mary Maglalent are admirably filled
respectively by Anni Rutz and Johan-
na Preisinter. Guido Mayr, who took
the part of the betrayer, was an excel-
lent actor, and had he not been pre-
ceded by Hans wink he•would have
been in the front rank. Melchior
Breitsaanter made a most effective
Pilate.
The highest tribute to t'.c. skill and
devotion of the players is to be found
M the fact that 5,000 people sat 31;a
hours in the morning and 3li;_ hours in
the afternoon, scarcely stirring in
their places, and showed a rapt atten-
tion—surely the highest tribute which
the .players could have desired.
During my visit to this first public
performance of 1930 I heard a good
deal about the burden the peasants
had to carry. They had incurred a
liability of a million and a hall marks
for their theatre and half a million
marks for the extension and improve-
ment of the roads, rendered necessary
by the immense increase in motor
traffic. An influential man who knows
the villagers intimately told me that
he assessed their own private mort-
gages, resulting in large measure from
the tremendous losses of the inflation
period during which the Play of 1922
took place, at the large sum of a fur-
ther two million marks, making a
total indebtedness of the v::'a ;o col-
lectively and of the people individual-
ly amounting to something like four
million marks, or 4200,000
If the villag3 is to sucec d in pay-
ing this sum, the current o :Menses and
the small payment to the respective

danger with a great influx of rich peo-
ple from America and Europe that
the simplicity of these villagers should
be damaged, and even destroyed, but
those who witnessed the Play on Sun-
day, May 11, will agree with me al-
most unanimously that there was a
devotion which could only be shown
by those whose simplicity was as yet
untouched. Much is to be hoped that
nothing will occur to prevent the vil-
lagers clearing themselves and the vil-
lage of Oberammergau from their op-
pressive debt. The first Play was per-
formed in the year 1634, and there is
a possibility that a centenary Play
may be acted in 1934, but the general
belief is that the next Play will take
place in 1940.
