 In both cases four judges were called in under the so-called expedition act to try the governments charges in the cir cult court.

ALABAMA DAY BIZ
 HIT AT LAND SHOW

Chicago, December 3-(Special)-Th melodies of Dixie, both those of ante bellum days and later date. rang through the Coliseum throughout today. t was Alabama day and sons of that state at the land show arranged a programme that quite eelipsed any state celebration yet held in the big back to the soil eX hibition.'
 In the Alabama booth was installed a piano and stereoptieon machNe Around the piano were grouped many Alabamans who sang scngs they learned in ehild- hood As fitting finish to this picture were the two negro mammies in the Mobile county exhibit. All day and last night they were busy cooking vans ard serving them with Alabama sugar cane syrup produced right in the Coliseum.
 j. $. Montgomery of Jefferson county, whom northern people have taken to be a picture of the Dixie planter, was a cor snicuous figure in Alabama booths dur ing the day.
 George Maloney who is in charge of the Mobile county booth, and Colonel Frank P. chaffee, secretary of the Ala bsma State Fair association, composed the committee that made up today's prV- gramme.

Ministers Sat Late

London, December 3.-The protocol ar ranging an armistice was signed late this evening by the Turkish and Bulgarian delegates. the latter representing also Ser via and Montenegro. Prior to this there had been q long sitting of the Turkish council of ministers to consider fresh proposals submitted by the allies.
 Apparently the Greek delegate did not sign the protocol. At present nothing is definitely known on this point. nor ol the terms of the armistiee as revised today.
 The refusal of Greece to sign the arm. istice is susceptible 10 different interpre. tatlons In the first place, as taeit armistice has been in existence for more than A week already, if Is not impossible that the negotiations may have served to bring about an agreement on the gen eral principles of peace terms, such as would promise the speedy arrangement of a peace treaty when the conference meets as is now expected, in London. In this case the fact that Greece is stand ing out from the armistlce protocol will not be of great importance.
 In the second place, the Greek ab- stention may mean serious split among the allies, arising from iealousles con cerning the possession of Saloniki and the insistenee of the Greeks on the capitu- latlon of Adranople Scutari and Janina.
 Other Points
 Other points which may influence the situation are to be found in the fact that Turkey recently sought to conclude a separate treaty. of peace with Greece. that Bulgaria apparently is not unwilling to enter into an alliance with Turkey and that the allies arc desrous that Tur- key shall enter the Balkans customs league.
 There is rumor in Sofia that a sug- gestion has been made to substitute Rou- mania for Greece in the Balkan league. It seems clear from the report that Bull garia will ignore the Greek offer 10 land an army in Gallipoli peninsula, and to send her fleet to attack the Dardanelles,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-04

that the relations. between Greece and Bulgaria are greatly strained and these signs of dissension among the allies leave the situation full of dangerous possibll- ities.
 It Is reported that France is trying to persuade Greece to adopt a less un- yielding attitude. It is understood that financial pressure and the exhaustion of their forces had much to do with the willingness of Bulgaria and Servia to conclude peace and, in this respect, Greece. which gained her victories with less expense, is better able to continue hostilities.

CHAPTER XIV.

He opened his eyes again, alone on
the cool, damp, earthen floor, but as
sured that the feminine element in his
adventure had been no hallucination,
after all; for he could see the girl
standing little 10 one side and look
ing down upon him, her face so deep
in shadow that he could gather moth
ing from its expression, whether 1t
were Of displeasure or of perplexity.
From this and that, however, he de-
duced that she, discovering herself
i1avishing endearments on the wrong
man, was not utterly delighted with
the situation. The circumstances TAX
en- into consideration, such a state Of
mind he thought not unreasonable;
and being now to some extent recov-
cred, he saw no profit in making her
suffer more. So with a show of
faintness not wholly assumed, he
rolled his head to one side, opening
wide his eyes and looked the woman
IN the face, inquiring with his faint,
thin brogue: whats this, now, me
,desr?"
The girls face darkened She shook
her head impatiently. 81 have no Eng
Nsh," she told him in excellent French.
''Who are you? Why do you come
here? You are not Danny"
"Oho!" commented O'Rourke know
ingly, "and that's the explanation, is
it?" He sat up, embracing his knees
and drawing rueful face. Faith, me
dear" he admitted, 81 concede ye the
best of the argument, thus far. I am
not Danny-'tis true as Gospel"
She frowned. "Then what are you
doing here, monsieur? How did you
learn-who told you-the signal?"
Faith, from no less person than
Danny Malone himself. He showed
me the way and bade me Knockout
niver a>word said he of yourself, me
dear"
Monsieur does not recall that I ad-
mitted him?" she persisted, but with
a tightening face, "nor> anything that
happened thereafter"
"Not the least in the world. What
did happen, now?"
But she fianked that embarrassing
question adroitly, evidently much re-
lieved by O'Rourke's reinsurance.
Which was just what he wished her
frame Of mind to be. Nothing that
matters" she replied, continuing to
employ the French tongue, and that
very prettily, with fetching little ac-
cent. 81 think you tainted. Then-but
you know my Danny?"
"Your Danny!" said o'Rourke, his
mood quizzical. "None better, me dear.
I've known him since he was so high,
<or thereabouts." And he held a palm
Rome six inches or so above the door.

CHAPTER XVI.

At midnight the muezzin in neigh
,ooring minaret turned hi face to the
windswept sky and summoned the
faithful to prayer and meditation.
O'Rourke pulled thoughtfully at his
pipe until the musical, melancholy
wall had been whipped away by the
breath of the khamsin, and there was
silence save for the dull, heavy roar
ing overhead. Then he resumed the
where II had been inter-
rupted.
"And ye say ye love the young wom-
an, Danny?"
IT do that, yer honor"
"And ye would marry her?
ovid yer honor's consint-Tm ready,
sor."
"I bless the banns. Ye may have
her on one condition"
"Aw-w?"
"Tve need of ye, as I've pointed
out"
"Sure, yer honor knows ye can count
on me to the last breath in me, sor."
"Then ye'l come with me to Bur
mah?"
"Do you think, sor, I could slape Of
nights, after hearin' from your own
lips what ye've been through and sus-
pectin' what more ye must go through
with before ye've won? VIII I be
comm, is ut? Faith, I'll go whether
We want me or not"
"And afterwards ye can come back
to Miss Psyche here, or whatever her
name may be-"
"YIss, yer honor, and thark ye kind
ly." Abruptly Danny started
up. They'll be comm now, sor," he
said in an excited whisper. "I'm think

alley"
He turned toward the rear of the
house, and as O'Rourke rose to follow
him, the signal sounded OH the metal
door. Danny quickened his steps, and
as he disappeared his master slipped
quietly into the shadows beneath the
overhanging gallery. From this point
of seclusion he could hear distinctly

loudly and a flicker Of light leaped
from small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
q low exclamation Of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom, and as if that were not
enough, kissed him full and long upon
his lips.
'My deari My dear!" she murmured
in French What has happened, o,
what has happened? My poor, poor
bey!"
Now the integral madness Of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been
a douche of cold water in his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that it was all dream.
And yet, when he looked, it was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face Of a woman as beauti-
full as young, as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. o'Rourke
