With him is five- year-old Cynthia Thatcher, his tempo rary ward. On the train they meet Bill Gaines, former classmate of David’s. David tells Gaines of his mission, and of his one unconquerable vice—^an over whelming desire for liquor. Jebb feels the urge coming to him again, and wants to safeguard the child, whose lather is dead and whose mother awaits her com ing in the United States. GHAPTEK II—David receives a minor Injury while on the train, and a sympa thetic passenger pours brandy down his throat. That is sufficient to kindle the flame of desire for liquor. Jebb takes the child with him, leaves the train, and begins drinking. BUI Gaines, the old schoolmate, remains on board the train. CHAPTER III—A strange Incantation wakes Jebb from a dull stupor. His brain in a fog, he looks around, seeing a strange woman, dressed in flowing robes and heavUy veiled. In broken English she tells him he is in Uskub, that her name is Minima, and that she wiU take care of him. She had not seen Cynthia, who is missing. Later Mlruma teUs him she is the wife of a Pasha, but wife in name only. The Pasha has another wife —a true wife whom he loves dearly. Miruma means nothing to the Pasha. Finding Jebb is a surgeon, she teUs him of a powerful man in Uskub, Akef Bey, whose son is slowlv dyinff. CHAPTER IV—Jebb moves to a hotel, seeking the lost Cynthia. He makes no progress. However, he calls at the home of Akef Bey, operates on his son, and saves the boy’s life, thus earning the family’s deep gratitude. CHAP’TER V—Jebb is surprised by a visit from the Pasha, who has heard of his prowess as a surgeon. He wants Jebb to examine the wife he loves, Nahlr Hanim, who is Ul. David examines her, decides an operation is necessary. The Pasha fears for her life, and Nahlr Hanim is also frightened, but David tells him her life will be lost without prompt attention. CHAPTER VI Nahir Hanim was too weak to be very curious. The ebbing of her life had brought its own anesthesia to soul and body. Her chief emo tion was a dim wonder, like moon light wavering through a fog. A part of her was detached from the total of her. The soft-hearted Murison was far more terrified than she. He stood fighting off womanly tenderness and whispering to himself to be a man, lest Jebb despise him. The doctor selected a scalpel of rfiedium size and, holding it like a violin bow, drew it across the skin, which parted and drew back like silk. Then he incised the thin straw like covering of the fascia of the greater breast muscle, and pressed the blade through its stout fabric. “Some retractors,” he said. Murison felt the room rocking. “The retractors, quick!” Jebb re peated sharply, and he fitted them into the opposite edges of the mus cle to hold it back. “The forceps,” he commanded, “and a clamp.” Clamping one end of a severed vein, he picked up the other with the forceps. “Hold this!” He gave the forceps into Murison’s white hand; while he snatched up a catgut thread, looped it over the mouth of an artery, and knotted it with a dexterity a sailor would have envied. And so he did with all the small arteries he was compelled to cut. “Give me a couple of toothed for ceps, quick.” Murison handed him a cartilage knife. “Hell,” growled Jebb as he snatched two forceps himself, and delicately fastened one of them in the wall of the pericardium. “Hold this, and be careful,” and he put the forceps in Murison’s grip. “Don’t move.” He seized the wall a little lower down in the other forceps, trans ferred them to his left hand, xvith his right reached for the scissors and made a slight incision, which he lengthened a trifle with a probe- pointed knife. The gushing result so delighted Jebb that he called out to the wa vering Murison: “That ought to please you, old man; we’re turning the yellow devils out. See ’em scatter!” At last, with every faculty at work, his task of reconstruction was finished. He had come safely through a thousand dangers, and he breathed deep. It was a long and busy week be fore Jebb felt that Nahir Hanim could safely be entrusted to the care of Miruma and Murison, though he had schooled them in all the tasks and problems that were likely to arise. Meanwhile Gani Bey was flourishing in the radiant household of his father and mother. He felt that he had a right to set about his own business. Jebb called upon the Pasha and after as much delicacy of palaver as his curt soul could manage, he broached the hateful subject of com pensation. “Your servant can never repay you for your service by mere paras and piastres, Jebb Effendim, but may he ask what you would consider a fair recompense?” His smile turned to a grimace of pain as Jebb answered crisply: “Twelve hundred pounds.” “Mazallah! It is the price of the wire nerseu. Having led him into the noose, Jebb tightened it. “I will throw off one thousand pounds of my bill, Pasha, if you will release Miruma Hanim and restore her nekyah.” “You ask me to—to divorce my wife?” “Your other wife.” “But, wh-why? Do you want to marry her?” “If I wanted to marry her, should I be leaving Uskub tomorrow, for ever?” “You leave Uskub forever! What of my poor sick wife—my Bash-Ka- din? You will leave her to die?” ‘"The best thing I can think of to cure your wife, Pasha, would be the news that she no longer had a young and beautiful rival. If you went to her, and said, ‘You are my only wife now,' it would be better than any medicine I could pre scribe.” I The Pasha was breathing deeply and his eye was softening. “And,” Jebb added, “you will save one thousand pounds of my fee.” “You think my wife Nahir is well enough to leave?” “With the instruptions I have giv en him, Murison Effendi can bring her back to health in two or three months.” “And you truly think it wiU help her to recover if I inform her that I shall put away the gift wife?” “It will help more than all my skill.” “Then your servant will obey your instructions in everything.” “Miruma Hanim shaU have her talaq and her nekyah?” “On my honor, and as soon as the court will grant the decree,” and once more: “You are sure you are leaving Uskub forever?” “Tomorrow without fail. If you could have my money at my hotel—” “It will be there, effendim. For your skill, I shall pray Allah also to reward you. For your journey, Al lah emanet oloon!” Jebb had, indeed, resolved to leave Uskub forever, and Miruma forever. The fierce demands of his duties to the lost child cried out against him for his neglect, though he felt absolved to a degree by the necessity of earning funds and sav ing the lives perishing at his very feet. But now there was no further excuse to give his conscience. He had come to know Miruma bet ter, through the veil, the actual veil she wore and the impalpable yet im penetrable veil her self-respect, her duty, the danger of their situation drew about her. And he had come to love her and desire her with a passion his heart ' had never dreamed itself capable of entertain ing. He planned to hurry forth to hunt the lost child. He dreamed that he stumbled upon her without delay. He imagined himself telegraphing Miruma to join him and go with him to America as his wife. And then his thanks choked in his throat. A chill hand seemed to reach from the fog and throttle him. It was his curse that had brought him to Uskub with infinite disgrace, with a deep shame that he had con cealed only by cov/ardly silences. His curse forbade him to marry any woman, least of all Miruma. He thought long and fiercely over his farewell to Miruma. He wrote many letters and tore them in pieces. Worn out and nauseated with life, he dashed off and sealed the curtest message of all, with no hint of the love that neither had expressed in a word, and both had understood with all their hearts. nave anotfier cigar and a cup or coffee, and let us hope that soprano is really' not so unhappy as she sounds.” “By the way, what was the name of the hotel?” “The Grand Hotel de—something or other. I don’t remember. Don’t think of it again, I beg you.” But Jebb thought of it without rest. At length Banbury rose impatiently. The Scotch had made him drowsy, but he blamed the Italian music. “Daveet Jebb Effendi could not have passed through Salonica.” “I can’t stand any more of this caterwaul, can you? What do you say to our getting out? I’U drop you at your hotel, eh?” “Thank you, I think I’ll see it through.” “Very well. I’ll wait if you want to.” “Please don’t let me keep you.” It took much delicate manage ment, but Banbury was very, very sleepy and at last permitted Jebb to bid him good-night. As soon as he was out of the building, Jebb rose and searched for the policeman. He was greeted with profdtind courtesy. Jebb had been mulling the affair over in his head, and he was able to ask in intelligible if inelegant Turk ish:- SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY is visiting her parents.

Yours faithfuUy, DAVID JEBB. CHAPTER Vn Salonica, the Hot Springs of An cient Greece, seemed pretty ancient to the Yankee surgeon who came in an express train and took a cab to the Grand Hotel d’Angleterre. HeUwald and the British consul had helped him over the important matter of his missing papers, had provided him with a substitute for his lost passport and a teskere, or license to travel; had coached him in the important intricacies of Turk- and a physician. He also learned, that every effort to trace the miss ing child had ended in negation. He visited the American consu late, but the consul had been sum moned to Constantinople, and his of fice could give no help. At the British consulate they had much proffer of aid but no encour agement. One of the attaches, a younger son of a noble house, but smothered under the simple style and title of Cranford Banbury, Esq., was especially courteous. He took Jebb to the office of the Polls Qomiseri, introduced him, and translated the commissioner’s ac count of his vain efforts to find the child. Banbury insisted on Jebb’s dining with him. “You’re in a blue funk, old man, and you oughtn’t to be alone.” “I’m always alone,” said Jebb grimly. “Well, I’ll do my best to make Sal onica an exception. There’s not much to occupy an Anglo-Saxon in Salonica unless you’re interested in politics. We rather feel we’re sit ting on dynamite. The Young Turks are in power but they have an Au gean stable to clean up, and the old Sultan isn’t dead yet.” “■What have they done with the old Sultan?” “■Why, haven’t you heard? He’s here—here in Salonica. Fact! He is a kind of prisoner de luxe, settled in a wonderful villa built ten years ago by an Italian for the Allatini family. Now the government has turned it into a gilded cage lor the ex-Sultan. They didn’t quite like to treat him as we did Charles I, but \ he’s a problem, and no mistake. The old tarantula may pop up any day and there are people enough eager to help him back to his web. “But let’s not talk Turkish poli tics. I hear nothing else all day. Let’s go to a cafe chantant.” “Anything to get my mind off my troubles.” The admission was only two pi astres or ten cents apiece. The price seemed small till the musicians be gan, then it seemed excessive. Banbury chose a table and the waiter brought them coffee. Ban bury rejected it with horror and ordered Scotch and soda, in which Jebb begged to be excused from joining him. At a table in front of him. Jebb noticed a fat neck and short, bristly poll of distinctly French extraction. Eventually their owner turned his face, glanced at Jebb, stared, turned away, turned back, looked uneasy, angry, pugnacious, puzzled. Jebb wondered what ailed the man. He was sure he had never seen him before. At length the stranger rose and left the hall, and Jebb gave his soul to the Miserere from “II Trovatore.” He was absorbed so deeply in the music that he failed to notice at first the arrival of a police officer who spoke deferentially to Banbury. Banbury was melting sympathet ically under the influence of Scotch and Verdi, but he was instant with an Englishman’s rage at any inva sion of his privacy. Jebb turned in surprise and found the Turkish officer regarding him with a piercing scrutiny, which Jebb answered with the clear-eyed inno cence of ignorance. He caught a word here and there and gleaned that the conversation had to do with a French hotelkeeper named Moosoo COLLINGTON NEWS Mrs. Lavina Perry, Mrs. Ran dolph Thomas and Mrs. V.

When he left the train he was compelled to have his teskere vised by a Turkisn official, who took it in charge until he should leave the town again. “Will the effendi look through his papers and see if by chance he is holding another teskere of mine?” he asked. He did not fail to slip a little bak sheesh under the documents on the desk. The recorder ransacked his files graciously. “Daveet Jebb Effendi could not have passed through Salonica—at least not openly and legally.” Jebb dissipated the menace of this suggestion with a further insinua tion of baksheesh and hastened to his cab.
