TURKEY SLOWLY
YIELDS To ALLIES
Peace Situation improves,
With Diplomatic Triumph for
War ViCtOrS in Sight.

LONDON. Jan. 6.-To all outward
situation showed marked Improvement
today. Reports were current that the
Turkish delegates and the ENJOYS of
the allies had reached an understanding
by which the later had agreed not to
insist upon an answer to Fridays ulti-
matum.
That was the situation as the plen-
ipotentiaries again met at St. James
palace today to take up the negotia-
tions where they left off Friday.
A telegram which reached this city
from Constantinople by way of Rome
stated that a treaty virtually had been
agreed upon, tentative conclusions hav-
ing been reached upon the most vital
issues
Allies Partly Appeased.
However, there were many with Off
ciaI sources of information who doubt
ed that negotiations had been so sue
cessful. The big certainty was that
Turkey had made further important
territorial concessions which had some
what appeased the allies and led to
the belief that within short time all
the demands of Bulgaria, Servia, Mon
tenegro and Greece will be met
Before todays session began many
reports were current. The most likely
of these as regards the future of the
parley was that Turkey, after offering
Bulgaria further cessions of territory
this afternoon, including Kirk Kiles-
sch. would play for further delay, by
demanding time to communicate again
with Constantinope over the status of
Adrianople and the Aegean islands.
To Yield Finally.
In the end, however it was expected
that the Porte would yield. At least
five of the big powers are said to have
signified to the Turkish government
their conviction that Bulgaria is emit
tied to Aridanople.
In addition to the question Of justice,
it is known that conditions in Adrian
ople are appalling beyond description,
with famine and pestlence. and out of
a feeling of humanity the powers want
the status of the city fixed as soon as
possible, so that relief may be given
the populace.

of having abundant nerve the other
evening, when Senator Clapp of Min
nesota told of man who went into
fashionable restaurant, accompanied

waiter to bring him three plates.
This, according to Senator Clapp, the

take some sandwiches from his

pass them around to the kids, he re-

When photography first began, you
know, they used wet plates, and a
sitter required eight or nine minutes.
Well, man once went to be taken,
and the photographer put in his wet
plate, demanded perfect immobility,
and took off the cap.
During the long exposure, the pho
tographer left the room a moment. On
his return everything seemed to be
going all right, but when the exposure
ended, and he rushed to his closet
to develop the wet plate, there was
nothing on it but a blur.
Very much disguised, he showed
this blur to the sitter.
You must have moved he said.
The sitter looked at the spoiled
plate and laughed in amazement.

to the window for a minute to see
a drunken man would have done all
that? sat right down again."

CHAPTER XII.

Jess.
Il was two weeks later when Ralph
Stanton first reopened conscious eyes,
this time upon the immaculate dreari.
ness of a hospital room. A linen-clad
nurse stood beside him, and at the
foot of the bed was gentleman I'M
mistakably medical.
Better, Mr.. Stanton?" queried the
latter, breezily professional.
"Floyd?" Stanton whispered, with
difficulty. Where is Jes Floyd?"
The doctor surveyed him oddly. hes
itating. But the nurse stopped over
him, her expression altering to impul.
sive compassion.
We'll. very WELL" she assured hasti-
ly. "Jes Floyd has gone home. Try
to rest; try not to think of things"
He had known the truth before he
asked the question. Stanton quietly
turned his face to the wall and faint
ed, being very weak.
In his next conscious interval, he
put another demand.
Miss Floyd? She is alive?"
Eyes, oh yes" the nurse heartily af-
firmed. YES, indeed"
Once more Stanton turned to the
wall. Jessica had not died when Jes
did, then, according to her prediction;
the tie of kinship had not held so far.
She was in the little apartment, alone.
Later in the night his steady, silent
gaze drew the attendant to his side.
What is it? You are suffering
more?"
ASK her to stop singing" he
begged. 1T wasn't my fault. Ask her
to stop"
The nurse took glass from the
table.
There is no one singing, Mr.. Stan
ton, no one at ALL Drink this"
mo one? Not out there in the
dark"

He averted his gaze, and remained
mute, unprotesting After that he
never lost memory again; not even
in sleep, for he dreamed. Day and
night, hour after hour, Jessica's mo-
notonous song beat through his sick
brain.

down against his mechanician's inert
hand. and the world fell out of knowl
