_PREFATORY NOTE By THE AUTHOR_
_This is a work of fiction and the characters moving through its
Pages are imaginary, save in the instance of Hamid Bey, whose
sinister activities were exercised as Commandant of a War Prisoners'
Camp near Smyrna in 1917. Care has been exercised to avoid the use
of surnames and titles belonging to actual persons. Where these have
been inadvertently employed, apology is made beforehand._
