art were doomed, that surgeons
would become mere "puddlers" and
that false sentiment and fear

would take from the .EscuIapian

This was unfortunate, for Myra met

made as stupid a choice as Birnie, Der
Lorton was fit for nothing except til

thing in his swagger that broke
through the thin easing surrounding
Myra's heart and she was in terror
lest some other girl should get him.
Old Abel Leigh, her father, was Of s

was that Birnie led Myra to the altai
with all the accomplishments Of bride
except her heart, which not even mar

sented to become his wife, not only
supposed she did so willingly, but fau

could have found favor in her sigh
was a mystery to him
Once married, Birnie's sterling quail

London, Aug. 21-It is learned that
important negotiations are in progress
between the powers which promise te
result in the early adoption Of a new
plan for the settlement Of the Mace
DOMAIN trouble. A foreign official said
1T is somewhat premature 70 say
that a definite agreement on the sub

in this direction"
The admiralty denies the Statement
that Admiral Domyille, commanding
the British Mediterranean squadron
now off the coast Of Portugal, had re
ceived urgent orders to Immediately
dispatch some Of bis ships to the vi
cinity Of Salonika. The officials de
elared that nothing had been done re
garding the dispatch Of British force
to Turkish waters, and It was not ex
pected that such action would be taken
in view of Great Brltain's announced
support of the policy of Russia ane
Austria unless a radical change in the
situation occurs.
The British foreign Office has beer
notified of the orders issued to the
italian squadron, which appear to have
been communicated to all the capitals
and which the Italian diplomats say
does not mean that Italy intends te
withdraw in the slightest degree from
cooperation with the powers.
The Austrian embassy youches fot
the continuance up to the present OF
