Text Appearing Before Image:
fest ease prevailing in these home-steads was, no doubt, derived from the profits of thisflourishing industry. Pretty was it to see the tall, waving poplar grovesof Otan-su against the yellow background of the ruggedcliffs which there line the valley. The maze of narrowlanes in this village, with the apricot and mulberry treespeeping across every mud wall, had its picturesque places,too. Great was the amazement of the good people ofOtan-su when they first saw me paying a visit on foot.Ponies were dragged out in haste, and invitations to mountthem were many and pressing. But after a time the shockwore off, and I was allowed to indulge in my queer tastefor trudging along on my own feet. Otan-su was the placewhere Li Ta-lao-ye, the convivial little Chinese official whowas supposed to guard the Raskam border, had taken uphis unauthorized residence. His work was nil irom morn-ing till evening, but loneliness evidently oppressed him,and invitations to my Ssu-yeh for lunch and supper parties
