CHAPTER (Continued}.
Today, in a>csfe.. noticed that
the flies, swarming on the edge OF
my coffee cup, fell into the saucer
dead. I did not taste my coffee.
May 16-Last night a shot was
hred through my door. I have de-
eided TO travel 70 Gallipoli with the
missionary.
May ls-My groom stole and ate
an orange from my breakfast tray.
He Is dead.
May 2O-Thc Rev Mr.. Carew and
his wife are most kind and sympa-
Jhetic.' They are good people, sim
pie. kindly, brave, faithful, and
fearlessly devoted to Gods service
in this vile land of treachery and
lies.
May 21-I have confessed to the
Rev. Mr.. Carew as ! would confess
70 a priest in holy orders. ] have
told him all Upder pledge Of secrecy.
told him also that the sanctuary
he offers might be violated with
evil consequences to him, and that
J would travel as far as Gallipoli
with him and then leave. But the
kind, courteous missionary and his
wife insist that I remain under the
protection which he says the flag
of his country affords me. II 1
could only get my third set OF plans
out of the country!
May 22-Today my coffee was
again poisoned. I don't know what
prevented me from tasting it-sOme
vague premonition. A pariah dog
ate the bread ! soaked in IL, and
died before-he could yelp.
II looks to me as though my end
were inevitable. Today ] gave my
bronze figure Of Erik, the yellow
Devil. to Mrs. C6rew to keep as a
dowry for her little daughter, now
. baby in arms. If il is hollow, as
/ feel sure. there are certain TO be
one or two jewels in it. And the
figure itself might bring FIVE hun
dred marks at an sntiquary's.
Arrives At Mission.
May JO-Arrived at the GalEpolI
mission Three Turkish ironclads
living close inshore. A British
cruiser. the Cobra. and an American
cruiser. the Oneida, appeared about
sunset and anchored near the iron
clsds. The bugles on deck were
plainly audible. II a German war
ship appears shall carry my box
On board. Ny only chance 20 rehsbiE
itate myself is to get the third set
Of plans 10 Berlin.
June In the middle OF the Telig-
ious exercises with which the new
school Is being insUgurated. cries OF
Allah" come from a great crowd
which has gathered. From my win
dow where ] am writing ! can see
low insolent the attitude OF this
Mohammedsn rIffrsff is becoming.
They spit upon the ground pebble

Her father slowly closed the book.
Daddy, Is that whore poor Herr
Wilmer dicd?"
Yes, dear"
After a silence his wife said
thcughtfully:
II have always considered II very
strange that IN, German govern
nent did not send for Herr Wll-
ncr's papers.
Probably they did. Mary And
very probably Murad Bey told them
that the papers had been destroyed"
And YOU never believed II 70 be
your duty. 10 send the papers L" the
German government"
"No II was an unhOIy alliance that
Germany sought with that monster.
Abdul And when Envcr Pasha

an alliance would have been none
