"She is too ill to feel it much but you needn't tell her so. Just tell her I shall not give her much pain, and that it is necessary for me to find out what causes this condition." Though Minima sought to reassure Nahir Hanim, she yielded rather from inability to resist than from conviction. And so at last, with Minima holding the trembling hands of the Nahir, Jebb placed the point of the needle against the white skin, at the fifth intercostal space; set his thumb along the needle as a check, and pressed it backward, inward, and downward, with the uttermost nicety, avoiding bone, and artery, and cartilage, and throbbing "And now I must find Murison.

The brows of Minima were beautiful with pity for the old Pasha, and she told him as gently as if he were a child. He plucked his beard in mourning and sent his lean fingers to and fro among his beads. Minima turned to Jebb: "Eees eet no hope of to save her? Must she must she dreenk of the Cup?" Jebb answered: "I think I can save her. I think I hope I believe so, If I operate there is at least a chance for her. It is a very hard operation. But without it there is no chance. One cannot always be sure of a diagnosis, but here I am sure. I know; I can see. If the pericardium is not opened and drained at once, she will die, and die soon. If I am given freedom to act I can save her I think. I am almost sure." Miruma translated the message of hope with a lilt of enthusiasm that raised the" Pasha from the cold ashes of despair. At length the Pasha took the leap, commended his beloved to the goodness of Allah and the skill of the Ameriqall. Jebb was more alarmed than he dared confess. He felt the need of skilled help. He could think of no line but Murison to hold the instruments and hand them to him as hey were needed. After the deed should be done, a rained nurse was sadly to be Lacking such an aide, he urncd to Minima. "1 need someone to care for Naur Hanim afterward to help me Vill you?" Miruma did not trust herself to peak She noddd "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 tooth: d forceps, 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, transferred them to his left hand, with his right reached for the scissors and made a slight incision, which be lengthened a trifle with a probe-pointe- d knife. The gushing result so delighted Jebb that he called out to the wavering 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 He had come safely finished. through a thousand dangers, and he breathed deep. It was a long and busy week be fore Jebb felt that Nahir Hanin could safely be entrusted to the can of Miruma and Murison, though h had schooled them in all the task and problems that were likely t arise. Meanwhile Gani Bey wa flourishing in the radiant houschol of his father snd mother. He fcl 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 Uic hateful subject of compensation. "Your servant can never repay you fur your service by mere paras and piastres, Jebb ElTendim, but may he ask what you would consider a fair recompense?" His smile turned to a grimace of pain as Jebb answered crisply: skill." "Then your servant will obey your Instructions in everything." "Miruma Hanim shall 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, Allah emanet oloon!" Jebb had, indeed, resolved to leave Uskub forever, and Miruma forever. The fiei i demands of his duties to the los: child cried out against him for his neglect though he felt absolved to a degree by the necessity of earning funds and saving the lives perishing at his very feet But now there was no further excuse to give his conscience. He had come to know Miruma better, through the veil, the actual veil she wore and the impalpable yet Imher penetrable veil 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 entertaining. 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 aa hia wife. And then his thanks choked in his throat A chin 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 concealed only by cowardly silences. His curse forbade him to marry any woman, least of all Minima. 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. self-respe- Miruma Hanim Madame: I leave for Salonica by the next train.

Yours faithfully, DAVID JEBB. CHAPTER VU Salonica, the Hot Springs of Ancient Greece, seemed pretty ancient to tha Yankee surgeon who cam 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 Turkish machinery and given him cordial letters to the representatives of Great Britain and Austria In Salonica. When he left the train he was compelled to have his teskere vised by a Turkish 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 baksheesh under the documents on the desk. The recorder ransacked his tiles graciously. "Davcet Jebb Effendi could not have passed through Salonica at least not openly and legally." Jebb dissipated the menace of this suggestion with a further insinuation of baksheesh and hastened to his cab. At the Austrian consulate Jebb was received with the distinction due his recommendations as a friend and a physician. He also learned that every effort to trace the miss ing child had ended in negation. He visited the American 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 encouragement 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 Salonica an exception. There's not much to occupy an Anglo-Saxo- n 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 Augean 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?
