set fire to the wood in which they were sheltering, and it seemed that the young couple must be burned alive where they were.
 Caught!
 Picking up the wounded girl in his arms, the young Greek started towards the house of the doctor. No sooner had he shown himself than he became the target for dozens of Turkish rifles.
 Some time after this both were captured again by their purs1Iers. and were bound preparatory to being talk en baci, to the harem. The party encampcd in 0 little enclosure before resuming their journey, and while there the two young people decided tO make another bid for freedom. ElenOro moved close to his sweetheart and when he saw his chance he stoop- ed down and gnawed at the bonds binding her.
 It was slow work, and there was always the fear that before it was completed the attempt would be seen by the Turks. Fortunately, nothing was seen, and after a time the girl was free. In spite of her wounds. she moved towards her lover, and started to unite his bonds She had just completed her task, when she swoOned with a scream, attracting the attention of the Turks.
 For British Lines
 Knowing what fate would be theirs if they could not get away, the young Greek picked up the mani mate body of his sweetheart, and started away as fast as he could go
 Soon they came in sight of a post occupied by the advanced guard of the troops under Allenby, even then fighting their way towards Smyrna The Turks, seeing that their prey was about to escape, opened rifle and machine gun fire. The strength of the man was waning fast. He had still about a mile and a quarter to travel, and his pursuers were gaining on him, while there was no sign as yet that he had been recognized in the British lines as a. friendly visitor
 On the contrary, the British sol diers began to fire on the two figures under the mistaken belief that they were enemies, and the young Greek himself was wounded again. He fell to the earth in heap, and it seemed that all was done with. He tried to rise, but it was in vain Once again he sank to earth, and when he sank he appealed to the girl to get up and make a last attempt at escape. She tried to obey, but as she raised herself the weakness returned, and she sank to the ground once more.
 Worth It All
 There was now no prospect but to fight it out, and the young Greek soldier resigned himself to the in evitable. The enemy closed around him quickly, but, just when it seem ed that all hope must be abandoned seemed to come to the officer in charge of the British post,

 FR0N HaREM OF TURKISH PASHA Startling Experiences of Greek Soldier Who Struggled Into Harem Where His Fiancee Was Held; Account of Daring Rescue and the
 Attending Dangers Which Were Braved

Smyrna, Turkey, Sept 19-One oi Hhe most romantic stories ever told is that of Elenoro Karantapoules, a SOung Greek soldier, who has Just succeeded in rescuing his sweetheart from the harcm of a Turkish Pasha at Smyrna
 ElenorO Karantapoulcs was sol dier serving with the Greek army When Greece cast in her lot with the Allies he was at Athens, his native place. For three years, he had no news of his svvJe etheart Helen, and he WIS, naturally, anxious about her. In all directions he made inquiries, but information did not reach him. In despair, he mentioned his anxiety to a fellow-soldier, a merchant of Smyr- ma, and from him he learned that in the harem of a powerful Pasha of Smyrna there was a young girl an svver1ng to the description of his sweetheart. He decided to take the risk of Investigating, and his com manding officer gave him eight days leave for the purpose.
 On reaching Smyrna he made up his mind that shc was detained in the beautiful mansion of the Pasha he suspected, but his trouble now was Go find a means of access to her. He decided that the best way was to have himself smuggled into the harem in the same way that his sweetheart had reached there.
 VVith the aid of the Smyrna mer- s.Eant he dressed himself as a girl, a part for which his delicate features and his shriIl voice fitted him. He then succeeded in inducing a local slave dealer to exhibit him with oth- CT candidates for the harems, and to his great joy he was purchased for the seraglic of the Pasha he suspect ed.
 Reaching there, he was placed in the building reserved for tho favor ites. and Go his Joy he found his lost sweetheart on the first day, He sue Ceeded in speaking to the girl, found that she was still faithful to him. and that she only awaited n chance to cs- cape from a fate that was worse than death.
