Its houses are all unllghted, their doors are locked. In this land of the vendetta, even at the auberge, people hesitate to open for unknown travelers knocking on the portal. There will be no chance to telegraph to Bastla or any way station on that road before morning. It is nearly an hour before they succeed In arousing a somnolent hostler at the inn stables, who mutters all the horses are tired and must have a night's rest. But stimulated by a gold piece placed in his sleepy hand the man finally awakftts sufficiently to saddle two horses, which he says ae the liveliest of any in the stable.
