much the same work in Constantinople
as Edith Cavell did in Brussels. All
three of them decided to accompany us
to Russia and to row to tho, ship on
the evening before We sailed.
Theodore Is Arrested.
One afternoon when Yeats-Brown
was visiting Fulton and Stone in a
back room at Theodore's house Turk
ish geudarmes surrounded the building
and searched 1t. The three English
men were discovered and strange
procession passed through the streets
of STEAMBOAT to the military prison at
the Ministry of War.
First went Theodore, then his two
sisters and his aged mother, and in
the rear the three captured officers.
The whole party was surrounded by q
dozen gendarmes.
Now at that time Capt. White and I,
from our hiding place on the Russian
steamer, were negotiating with Mr.. s.,
through the agency of Theodore, for a
further supply Of funds. For several
days we had heard no news, and one
morning we were told by our friend
the chief engineer that Theodore had
disappeared from the restaurant.
Fearing that the Greek might have
run away with our money, White went
on shore during the afternoon to in
vestigate. Wearing a fez, and with
his mustache darkened, he walked
from Galata to STEAMBOAT and entered
Theodores. The appearance Of the
hut al,nuy
the atmosphere seemed electric with
suspicion. A Turkish officer of gen.
darmerie was seated a few yards from
the door Theodore himself was con-
spicuously absent.
White Receives had News.
White ordered a glass of beer and
asked for news of Theodore. The
waiter looked frightened and left the
table without a reply. When he re-
turned White. again asked the same
question and was told: "He has fallen
with the three British officers. 1t is
dangerous to talk of it,"
"I also am a British officer" con-
tinued White, for this waiter also had
on several occasions acted as an inter-
mediary. He now looked more
frightened than ever. and ostenta-
tiously kept away from the neighbor-
hood of Whites table. On looking
toward the little basin at the back of
the room White saw a Turk washing
his hands while peering slantwise but
intently at each man present in turn.
but more particularly at the proprietor
and the walters
White returned to the steamer with
the bad news and we were more than
ever afraid that our funds had dis
appeared. Fortunately, however Mr..
8. had not paid the money to Theo-
dore and soon afterward We received
1t from another source.
The subsequent history of Theodore
was as melodramatic as the rest of his
adventures In the last year of the
war. His mother and sisters were re-
leased after a few weeks of imprison-
ment but he himself was condemned
to be hanged. Yeats Brown mean

Paul and Yeats-Brown.
Two Prisoners Escape.
My first intimation OF what had hap
opened came when the chief doctor an
nounced that no British patients were
to be allowed outside the hospital, be-
cause two prisoners had escaped. Soon
afterward a Russian officer, who ar
rived from Psamatia with influenza,
brought full details.
With their bank notes sewn up in
their under pants, with faces and
hands stained brown, each wearing a
fez, the pair had climbed out of their
window at Psamatia in the middle OF
the night, crept along the ledge, tied a
rope to the gutter of the roof and let
themselves down into a dark doorway.
The rope was found in the morning
still dangling from the roof. Since
then-three days ago-nothing had
been heard of them.

ventures of Paul and Yeats Brown.

Of seeing n dentist, and managed to
bribe the guard to take me to Theo-
dore's.
The little Greek looked white faced
and anxious. and apparently It was
a relief for him to unburden himself
to somebody he could trust. Paul and
Yeats Brown, he said, had arrived at
his house at A. M. and demanded adj
mittance. He had let them in and
later in the morning found them a
safer hiding place in another part OF
Constantinople.
Paul had since left Constantinople.

to reach the Gulf OF Enos, where a
Greek smack would be waiting to take
him out to sea.
Christopher, a youthful waiter at
Theodore's. had gone with him as
guide. Yeass-Brown, meanwhile, was
still hiding in Constantinople.
Theodore Is Worried.
What worried Theodore was that
since the escape gendarrnes mad been
watching the restaurant He refused
| to take my letters. and implored me
not to speak TO him more than could
help, for any of the customers might
well be a spy.
"If they capture a British officer
who tries to escape" he said. they
only punish him in prison. II am
captured they hang me-"
Cheer upi You will never be
hanged. You shall come to London
after the war and open a little res
taurant there"
Meanwhile. with an Australian on
GER named Capt. White, had almost
completed my own plans. There was
at Psamatia a Georgian oficer-Col
Prince Constantine Avaloff-who. by
reason Of Georgia's submission to Ger

city freely. giving his parole TO return
each evening. Through him we had
got into touch with the chief engineer
of a Ukrainian tramp steamship thar

Suitan's Palace OF Dolma Bagtche.

bazaars. Often they were Joined by
not too sick officers from the hospitals

Sunday and occasionally during the

A Born Conspirator.
Theodore himself looked exactly
what he was-a born conspirator who
had strayed from melodrama into real
life. In the whole of Turkey there was
no greater expert in the science Of
throwing dust into the eyes Of soldiers
and gendarmes. He not only lived by
plotting. bu.. next to money, he seemed
