The Strange Adventures of Miss Stone.

(Sketch. 'j

lam able to give some extremely interesting pictures, not only of tbe country where Miss Stone, the Ameri can missionary, is still hidden with the brigand band who abducted her, early In September, with a view to obtain ing an enormous ransom, but further to Bh©w a portrait group in which one of ber captors figuree, and knottier of tho police who are now trying to res cue the unfortunate lady. The affair has naturally made more sensation in America than it has here —indeed, this country, though tbe fact h now forgotten by most people,^ once had an even more terrible brigand sensation than that which baa filled toe-American papers .for weeks past It was In the April of 1870 that a party of English tourists, including Lord-and Lady Muncaster, Ooant de Boyl, a-Mr and Mrs Lloyd and their child, Mr Herbert, and Mr Vyner, one of tho most charming and gifted mem bers of a noted family, were all seized bf a band of Attica brigands while returning from an excursion to the battlefield of Marathon

Mils Stone's Bulgarian captors have fixed her ransom at £25,000 ; their Greek comrades, more greedy, de manded in 1870 £5000 more, but they gallantly released the ladies of the party, who journeyed sadly back to Athens, where they made their com panions' known to the British Minis ter. Th© money whs raised without a moment's delay, but tbe brigands, breaking faith, then raised their de mand to £50,000 ! This further sum was also procured ; but ? perhaps just because the whole matter had been! arranged so easily, the chief of the brigands made a yet further claim that of a fall pardon for himself and bis band.

The Greek Government could not consent to this iniquitous proposal, and then began endless negotiations, made ill tbe more painful owing to tbe fact that the chivalrous King George was the brother of our then Princess of Wales, So distressed was the young Sovereign at tbe state of things that he himself nobly offered to surrender his person to the brigands in exchange for tba British captive?, an offer, however, which the wily brigands were too wise to accepfc e Persuaded by the British Minister to leave his mountain strong hold and, accompanied, of course, by his captives, to come to a place where negotiations could be more easily car ried on, Takes, the brigand chief, sud denly saw himself surrounded by Greek soldiers, and enraged at, as he thought, the treachery of the British negoti ations— to whom this extraordinary and foolish conduct on the part of the Gretk police was unknown, he ordered his comrades to torn on their captives and kill them, which they accordingly did, without leaving a single survivor.

It has been many times pointed that several features of this thirty-year-old storj have now repeated themselves. Mlsb Stone and her companion, the anfortunate young lady who is said to have already died from tbe hardships to whioh the two ladies have been exposed, were saptured in a district supposed to be cleared of brigands; the ransom was fixed on the same extor tionate scale : the brigands threatened to murder their prisoners in the event of being pursued by troops .* and now, again, the whole question is terribly complicated by political difficulties, Nothing can be lovelier than the sketch of Bulgarian country on the borders of Turkey which has been for po long—in fact, since the Middle Ages a brigand's paradiap. Two chains of lofty mountains, sections of the Southern Balkans, run for ne»rly a hundred miles io parallel directions, and Miss Store's missionary work lay in the fine plateau stretching between the two ranges. The ground is exceedingly fertile, and, on the whole, the devoted Amer'can mis sionaries who labour there among tho people lead not unhappy lives, though they are quite constantly exposed to tho risk of capture by robber chiefs. Eveu Miss Ston© herself had once boen go taken, but after a short time, released. Th© brigands are oonoeeted with moat of tha villagers, and thus can turn iuto pimple peasants or shepherds at will, Douche, Mies Stone's jailer, is a regular type of tbe robber chief so dear to the imagination! of the British school* boy. He is a famous Bulgarian outlaw, and hj wsy of a little joke, when he and bis band are Intent on anything more ibai usually nefarious, they make a point of disguising themselves as Turkish Regular trorps. According to his friend—and, strange to say, he has many in the Turkish and Bulgarian political worlds—he is treating Miss Stone and j ber unfortunate companion, Madame j Tsilka, with every courtesy and kind ness j indeed, some go so far as to gay that they are being well cared for in a pretty hut in the midst of a mountain tillage. There is no doubt th»t they we allowed occasionally to communicate with the outside world, but that makes their position all the more pitiful.

Miss Stone i> »fine type of the American missionary. She has given up the whole of her life to the Bulgarian missions, and, after teaching for over twenty years in the American Evangeli cal Uirl'tj Schools at Samakof, near the Turkish frontier, she was given tbe onerous but highly honourable position of Inspectress of the whole of the Mis sion Settlements in Macedonia

In America the most extraordinary interest has been taken in the case ; more than one popular newspaper has despatched an emissary 'to find Miss Stone.' Naturally, the various Mis sionary Societies have nob been idle, nnd practically the whole of the money wanted has been collected, It is a significant fact that brigands often begin by asking much more than they are willing to take. When Mr Arthur Haseldin was captured by a Spanish robber band in 1874, his friends man aged to get tbe amount of the ransom reduced from £40,000 to £6000 !
