...price of $500 was put on his head. Fourteen days and nights Ismael Husseyin wandered in the mountains, his bare feet torn on the rocks. Starving, last week he entered a village to search for food. Five hundred dollars is a lot of money to a Turkish village. Townsmen turned him over to the authorities. Next day Ismael Husseyin swung from the gallows he had once cheated, his blackened tongue impudently thrust at his captors. On his breast swung a placard: THUS ARE PUNISHED TRAITORS TO THE RE PUBLICAN REGIME OF KEMAL PASHA...
