London, Oct THE powers efforts
to prevent war between Turkey and
the Balkan alliance are believed to
have been successful.
This information was received from
the Daily Mails correspondent at Con-
stantinople, who telegraphed to that
effect today.
Austria accepts to the plans formu-
lated by the French and Russian min
listers to deal with the Balkan situation.
Austria, however suggested a slight
change In the wording Of the propos-
ais which met with the immediate ap-
proval Of both NJ. Poincare and NJ.
sazonoff. The only effect of the
amendment is to sharply define the
relations Of the countries.
The demand Of Macedonian autono-
my is granted, but it urges the adop-
ton Of provisions Of article 20 Of the
treaty Of Berlin, providing for a large
measure OF home rule. Il is belieyed
here the proposals as outlined will re-
move any lurking suspicious in Eng

possible exception Of Turkey.
Th reply Of Count Won Berchthold.
the Austrian foreign minister which
was received at rhe Quai oOrsay sun
day morning, has caused great satis-
faction to the French government. The
alterations to the note which Count
Berchthold suggested, include an ex-
plicit declaration that the reforms to
be inaugurated win affect neither the
integrity Of Turkey nor the sover-
eighty Of the sultan; that they should
be applicable to the Ottoman empire
as whole and that instead of the am-
bassador at constantinople presenting
Turkey with the written demands, they
will content themselves with collec-
tive verbal representation Of what
they conceive to be the necessary steps
Turkey should take.

With the Cook In the Kitchen.

A delicious way to bake the new
halibut just coming in is to cover the
fish with milk in the baking pan and
haste it with the milk several times
during the hour.
If fillets of founders, commonly
known as "sole," are left to lie in salt,
parsley, thyme, a sliced onion and
lemon juice for half an hour before
frying, they will take on flavor much
as the French chef gives them. They
are best fried in deep fat.
Broiled smelts with maitre d'hotel
sauce seasoned with little nutmeg
as we'll as the usual lemon juice and
parsley are delicious. Prepare the
fish as for frying-they should be of
good size-dip each into melted but
ter, then roll in bread and cook over
the fire, first one side and then the
other.

He was not to repeat that visit.
AS Murrell approached, the hot col

Hannibal, he had gone white to the
lips, and his small hand clutched hers
desperately.
Murrell, with all his hardwood,
realized that too great confidence
had placed him in an awkward posi-
ton, for Betty turned her back on
him and began an animated CONVEX
sation with Darlington and Charley
Norton.

inquired.

That's the very thing do care

ly.
Betty now seated herself in the car

quietly determined to miss nothing.
The judge, feeling that he had come
into his own, leaned elegantly against
the wheel, and explained the merits
Of each shot as it was made.
Il hope you gentlemen are not go

said Murrell, approaching the group
about the carriage. Mr. Norton,

Murrell stalked back to the line.
AT forty PAGES I'd risk it myself,
ma'am," said the Judge. "Eht at a
hundred, offhand like this, | should
most certainly fail"
1T would be hard to beat that"
they heard Murrell say.
AT least it would be quite possible
to equal It," said Darlington, ad-
vancing with Hannibaps rifle in his
hands
1t was tossed to his shoulder, and
poured out its contents in a bright
stream of flame. There was a mo-
ment of silence.
Center shot, ma'am!" cried the
Judge.
'I'll add twenty dollars to the
purse!" Norton addressed himself to
Darlington. And | shall hope, sir,
to see it go into your pocket"
Our sentiments exactly, ma'am,
are they not?" said the Judge.
Perhaps you'd like to bet little

I'm ready to do that too, sir" re-
sponded Norton quietly.

CHAPTER XII.
The Portal Of Hope.

This" the speaker was Judge
Price; this is the place for me. They
are warm-hearted people, sir; q
prosperous people, and a patriotic
people with an unstinted love of coun-
try. I'd like to hang out my single
here and practice law"
The Judge and Mr.. Mahaffy were
camped in the woods between Boggs'
and Raleigh. Betty had carried Han
nibal off to spend the night at Belle
Plain.
Il crave opportunity, Solomon-the
Endorsement of my own class. feel
that l shall have it here" resumed
the judge pensively. viii you stroll
into town with me, Solomon? he
asked. Mahaffy shook his head.
Then let your prayers follow me,
for I'm off," said the Judge.
Ten minutes walk brought him to
the door of the city tavern, where he
found Mr.. Pegloe directing the activi-
ties of small colored boy who was
hopping out his bar. To him the
judge made known his needs.
Coin to locate, are your" said Mr..
Pegloe.
MY friends urge it, sir, and have
taken the matter under considera-
tion," answered the Judge.
We'll, the only empty house in
town is right over yonder; 1t belongs
to young Charley Norton out at
Thicket Point Plantation"
The house Mr.. Pegloe pointed out
was small frame building; it stood
directly on the street, with a narrow
porch across the front, and a shed
addition at the back. The judge scut-
tied over to 1t. The judges pulse
quickened. What a location, and
what a fortunate chance that Mr.. Nor
ton was the owner Of this most desir-
able tenement! He must see him at
once. AS he turned away to recross
the street and learn from Mr., Pegloe
by what road Thicket Point might be
reached, Norton himself galloped into
the village. Catching sight of the
judge, he refined in his horse and
swung himself from the saddle.
Il was hoping. sir, might find
you" he said.
"A wish l should have echoed had
been aware of it," responded the
Judge. Il was about to do myself
the honor to wait upon you at your
plantation"
Then | have saved you a long
walk" said Norton. He surveyed the
judge rather obviously, but listened
with kindness as he explained the
business that would have taken him
to Thicket Point.
THE house is quite at your serv-
ice, sir" he said at length.
The rent" began the judge.
But Mr.. Norton, with a delicacy
equal to his own. entreated him not
to mention the rent. The house had
come to him as boot in a trade. II
had been occupied by a doctor and a
lawyer; these gentlemen had each de-
camped between two days, heavily in
debt at the stores and taverns, espe
cially the taverns. And thus hand
somely did Charley Norton acquit
himself of the mission he had under
taken at Betty Malroy's request.
That same morning Tom Ware anc
Captain Murrell were seated in the
small detached building at Belle Plain
known as the office, where the former
spent most of his time when not II
