republics in which the American evil

doer is almost ns securely safe. One

is Haiti, and the other is Santo Do

mingo. Both are usually so torn hy

revolutions that the existing govern

ment is almost unrecognizable. In

consequence, both are favorite resorts

for American adventurers and fugi

tives of the more enterprising sort.

One American who left New Orleans

inconspicuously because of a little dif

ference with the law rose to high rank

in the Haitian Army, and was eventu

ally killed in a tight with revolution

ists on the Dominican border.

The little Republic of San Marino,

in the south of Europe, is another se

cure stronghold for American fugi

tives. But it is so small that the av

erage evil doer does not seek it out,

for fear that he may toss in his sleep

and roll over its frontier into Spain.

And far to the eastward there is Sara

wak, in the East Indies, where an Eng

lishman holds forth as absolute mon

arch and every stray solider of fortune

is welcome.

American fugitive might find safety,

at least from American justice, in a

dozen or more of the queer nations of

Central Asia, though it is more than

likely that the natives would soon fin

ish him. In Afghanistan the Ameer

would he glad to see him, and in Be

loochistan the rulers of the State

would treat him as a distinguished

visitor. In Tibet proper lie would he

under the eye of the Chinese authori

ties, but outwardly Tibet is not Chi

nese territory, and the treaties with

China do not affect it.

High up on the Central Asian table
