CHAPTER Xxx.
MIR. Smith in a New Light

In the ante-room of the General
headquarters, there was a crowd of Of
ficers and visitors waiting for admis-
sion. Gertrudes name was at once sent
in, and an answer came out from the
General that he would see her immed-
lately he was disengaged.
While she was waiting her eye fell
upon a little group of men, among
whom she perceived an English face.
The Englishman, who was no other
than Mr. William Smith, at the same
moment noticed his fellow-country-
woman.
He stepped forward, raising his hat,
and introduced himself.

For answer Gertrude briefly explain

or fallen into the hands of the Turkish

Smiths face fell.
I'm awfully sorry for you, I am
indeed" he said. 81 came out here
with Vaughan, who was a splendid
fellow but awfully reckless. 1 felt
sure that he would get wounded or
killed, if he went on in the way he did;
he was always in the thick of it
would not keep out of danger for a
moment. And now I'm afraid it is all
up with him."
''You think, then, that the Turks
would have killed him if they found
him only wounded?" Gertrude said
Smith shrugged his shoulders.
81 don't know about that. Miss Ly-
deard. The Greeks all say they would;
but you cannot tell. I have always
heard that the Turks are the very finest
soldiers in the world, and. if SO, can
rot believe they would do such thing
as that. Between you and me I am al
most sorry l didn't volunteer on the
turkish side sThese Greeks here only
march out one day and run away the
next"
Mr.. Smith was careful not to explain
that the principal difference between
him and the soldiers whom he con-
demned was that he wisely refrained
from the marching out
Before he could say more a messen-
ger came out from the General to ush-
er Miss Lydeard into his presence.

Gertrude entered. and received her with

answered, hastily handing over his gun
to one of the group which stood near
him, and divesting himself of the cart

part OF his attire. Il am coming with

wounded came in and still Gertrude
questioned them with a sinking heart.
but she could learn on news of her
lover
Finally a message came to Karayas-
seras from the General in Aria. The
town, he said, was full of wounded,
the ambulance was no longer suffic-
lent to discharge the men to the rear.
Could no one be spared from Karavas-
seras to come up to Arta and attend
to the wounded in the hospital which
had been extemporised on the spot?
The medical officer in charge OF the
hospital showed the telegram to the
four nurses, at the same time express
ing his belief that Arta was not safe
from the attacks of the enemy.
Il do not ask any of you ladies to
CO." he said. Il feel / have no right
to do So"
Almost before he had finished speak
ing Gertrude had answered him.
81 will CO." she said. II would rath-
er be at Aria than here"
Her sister. nurses demonstrated with
her. There was enough work for the
four of them where they were. Surely
she need not incur this unnecessary
danger? But Gertrude was firm.
Il have been longing to go to Arta
all the time. Now, here is a message
which smooths the way. Do not attempt
to dissuade me from obeying the CALL"
They gave way.
The medical officer thanked her in
warm language, and before an hour
had passed she found herself in a car
riage being driven rapidly to her new
scene of action.
The sight Of an English nurse being
driven into the crowded main street of
the town catised a sensation. BY some
instinct the soldiers connected her ar
rival with the two English volunteers
who had attracted attention during the
brief campaign by their bravery and
courage in the field, and many were
the sombre looks exchanged between
the sympathetic lookers-on as Gertrude
passed by.
Almost her first question after alight-
ing at the door of the hospital was
about the welfare Of her fellow coun-
trymen. She did not dare to pronounce
Ernest's name; she only asked "Are
there English among the wounded?"
The doctor in charge of the hospital
shook his head, but he did so with an
air of sorrow which did not seem called
for. y
No" he said, mo English are here.

Gertrude entered upon her duties with
light heart.
1t was not until later on. when she
had settled down in the hospital, that
she summoned up courage to make
more direct allusion to the subject that
was in her mind

Eyes, two" was the answer.
The doctor either had not heard of
Mr.. Smith or had not taken him seri-
ously as a combatant.
DO you know where they are now?"
was Gertrude's next question.
The doctor again became grave.
Major Cheriton, believe, is in the
town. Would you like to see him?"
A pang shot through Gertrude's heart,
a presentiment of evil.
Certainly l should be very pleased
if Major Cheriton were to come here to
see me-" she said. But what of Mr..
Vaughan"

Gertrude said nothing in answer to
this. After all, the real question for
her was not who fired the bullet, but
what had become of the man who
fell.
IF he is alive" she said, then
suppose there can be no doubt that
he is in Turkish hands,"
eff he is alive, quite so, the lieuten-
ant replied.
But he is not" Kalarakis put in,
decidedly. IF the Turks have got him
there is really no more hope"
The lieutenant turned round, frown-
ing.
You have no right to say that be-
fore this lady. 1t is true that Alban-
ian soldiers have a bad reputation,
but we have reason to believe that
there are some German officers with
the forces. They at least would insist
that the rules of civilized warfare
were observed"
Kalarakis shrugged his shoulders.
THE first Turkish soldier who
found man lying wounded at his feet
would put an end to him without
stopping to consult his officer" he re-
marked.
Gertrude looked from one to the
other. A faint spark of hope had been
lit within her breast.
Then there is a possibility that he
may be spared she exclaimed IF
l thought So" she broke off, blush
ing.
"What?" Kalarakis asked, with an
air of disappointment.
Gertrude rose to her feet and looked
from one TO the other of the two men.
81 would go myself into the Turkish
lines, to nurse him. she declared.
The lieutenant could not resist an ex-
clamation of admiration.
Kalarakis broke out harshly:
Nonsense! You will do nothing of
the kind, Miss Lydeard; we could not
dream of letting you trust yourself to
the mercy of those savages."

to leave.

CUTS NO FIGURE.
Germany's Action Regarding Ameri-
can Meat Products.

Chicago, May 26.-Concerning Ger
many's antagonistic legislation against
American livestock and meats, H. f.
HORNE, statistician for the Chicago
stock yards said today:
80 far as the general livestock mar
ketS of the United States are concerned,
Germany's action cuts no figure. Her
trade in animals and meats from this
country is comparatively insignificant
and neither German prices, nor German
legislation has any appreciable intu-
ence on market values here. On the
very day when the prohibitive measure
was passed by the reichstag the prices
for all kinds of livestock rose on the
Chicago market and neither buyers nor
sellers paid any attention to it. The
prices of livestock are governed solely
by the law of demand and supply and
the demand from Germany has never
been a sufficient faetor in the market to
affect quotations in the least.
During the five years 1894 to 1928
inclusive, the exports OF meats and
meat animals from the United States to
Germany have averaged only two and
eight-tenths per cent of the total eXpor-
IationS of those commodities.
The total value of such exports to
Germany during the five years named,
was only SIS, 700, 900 whereas during the
same period our exports of meats and
meat animals to England amounted to
$500, 977, 600 in value in comparison with
which the German figures appear very
| Stldll. LII 1901 Germany pldCNQ du ell
barge or American pork ostensibly as
a p~recaution against disease, but in re-
ality as a prOtectionist measure This
led to a prOtracted correspondence be-
tween the two governments. But Moth
ing was accomplished until congress
passed a law providing a system OF in
spection for our meats intended for ex-
port and comforting on the president
power to exclude foreign products from
our markets in case the country sending
them continued unjust determinations
against any product of the United
States. This placed the United States
in a position effectively to urge the re-
nov of Determinations against our
meats. The result was hat in 1891, Ger
many raised the embargo against
American meats. Denmark, Italy, Aus
tria and France were induced to take
similar action. In 1894 Germany pro-
hibited the importation of American
beef cattle and fresh beef. some alleged
cases of Texas fever having been dis
covered in certain cargoes of cattle
shipped to Hamburg. This led to more
correspondence between the two gov
ernments, the United States protesting
against the total exclusion of it's cattle
as unnecessary for sanitary purposes.
In 1897, or 1898, action was taken by the
German authorities prohibiting the i'm
%portation of fruits from the United
States.
The present legislation of the Ger
mar government has as little excuse in
reality as had the last named action
and in neither case existed the slightest
justification. Both were intended to be
prohibitive. as protectionist measures"

to the markets through another source
and country brokers are getting their
commissions just the same If trading
was active, the market would undoubtedly
score a good advance, but there is abso-
lutely no support. and the market is left
to drift alone and while this condition
of affairs exists the tendency will in all
probability be toward lower prices.
CORN-Cables were lower and what lit

PROVISIONS-There were only 1000

of hogs that started during the cool wet
weather was a damper to higher prices,
but we believe receipts will soon begin to
dwindle again and when they do We may
expect higher prices for July pork. The
market can not go one direction all the
time and as we have already had a hard
break, it is surely good trading to buy for
at least a moderate rise in prices

Chicago, May 26--WHEAT-The trade in
wheat throughout today's session was
quiet; July opened h@Hc over yesterday

There was a little profbt-taking following
the opening and this combined with the
dizziness put July back to sc, where it
closed. Local receipts were q cars, none
of contract grade. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 303 cars, against 275 last
week and 662 a year ago
CORN-COrn too was dull and to this
condition of the trade as well as the fav-
orable weather, owed its easiness. The
opening was &c down for July at 3TG1sc.
The market advanced with wheat to 37Ac,
but reacted on proft-taking and in SYM
pathy with the reaction in wheat at $3.50
and closed at that figure. Local receipts
were 306 cars.
