through this town, so also the caravans to and from Resht go ill
through its gates. It is noticeable at once that we have come OP
on to a great trade-route ; here life and movement never 4
cease all night long, and the road resounds with the ring zi
of camel bells, as though the whole country were singing. tit
In two hours and three-quarters we are at Kevendeh 01
and change horses, which in the same time draw us to 0
Kishlak. It dawns on the morning of December 13. The st
third stage brings us to Yangi-imam, with its mosque-tomb ill
under a pointed cupola. At the village of Kurdan we it'
cross a ravine, and the station-house here bears the in- 11
scription Kordanskaya Zastava, and one has to pay a toll
for the use of the newly made Russian road,—the Russians ~

have already firmly established themselves in this part of

Persia. 21
It grows lighter, the sun rises, the camel traffic ceases, for the animals must feed in the daytime, but instead the
road is full of waggons and carters. Above and behind 9
the dark outlying mountains of Elburz rise snowclad crests. .'i
Another change of horses at Hesarek and then the road, is
at Kerej, runs over the outermost slopes of Elburz. ii
Here a steep arched bridge of brick crosses a river and 2
Kelat, a picturesque village, stands in a cleft in the hills. 1
We have low mountains on both sides, but Elburz dis- I
appears behind clouds heavy with snow. In Shahabad I
the horses are changed for the last time, and, long, straight s
and unending, the road stretches on towards a mountain 3
projection situated beyond Teheran. The large city, the 1
El Dorado of decay and decadence, appears in outline, the ti
road turns by degrees into a street which runs through a y
new greyish quarter of mud houses, and through the s
Kazvin gate, adorned with plain tiles, we enter the town, li
and drive, tinkling, through the streets, where I quite un- t
expectedly meet my old friends of 1886 and 189o, Dr. s
Hybennet Khan and the postmaster Von Wedel, a retired s
general. The two gentlemen were coming to meet me, 1
and we go together to Wedel's house, where I wish to t
undergo a necessary renovation before accepting Mr. and Mrs. Grant Duff's kind invitation to be their guest during my stay in Teheran.
