Fire Wipes Out the Great Marble Den Which
Was the Heart Of the Wicked World-Wide
Turkish Intrigues Revealed IN Robert w.
Chambers Book The Dark Star and Shown
IN the Remarkable Film from That Novel

THE YHdiz Kiosk Of eVil fame, the
Sultan's palace at Constantinople,
has just been burned to the ground.
Intense interest attaches to this occur
renee, for this palace hid many Of the
secrets Of Sultan Abdul Hamid. the most
blOOdthirsty and viTainous tyrant who ever
ruled over that monstrOus ,edihce Of blood
and tyranny. the Turkish Empire The
Yndiz Kiosk, beautifully situated among
fairy-Hke gardens overlooking the Bospho-
rus, had been butt up and embeIlished dur
ing the nineteenth century by Abdul
Hamid and his immediate predecessors.
The Yndiz Kiosk-its name meant "The
Star KiOsk"-was a strPuge mixture Of
modern European and Oriental luxury
Much Of the furniture was in the most
ornate style Of Frances Second Empire,
but there was vast screened harem with
Oriental doorway, containing over 400
wives and faYorites, to peep into which
meant death for any man but the Sultan
Beneath the ground floor were countless
dungeons, where the victims of Abdul
Hands tyranny groaned, and also II is
said, a secret treasure chamber There
the tyrant hatched-out his conspirac cies
that kept Europe always on the brink Of
war, and planned the destruction Of more
than a million Armenians. After Abdul
Hamid's dethronement the palace was the
scene Of many meetings, where that un-
scrupulous adventurer, EnYer Pasha, di
rected the affairs Of the Empire during the
late war.
How much shall we ever learn OF the
guilty secrets Of the Yildiz Kiosk? Strange
to say, one Of the most thrilling Of recent
American romances, THE Dark Star" by
Robert w. Chambers, centres largely upon
the policies and plots that originated in the
council chambers of the YIldiz Kiosk
The fascinating, protean spy Of the
story, known in one OF her guises as
Minna Mint, Partisan actress and adEen-
turess, is an agent of Sultan Abdul Hamid,
marvellously skilled In extracting secrets
from the bosoms of French statesmen.
Two real French dancers suspect her
character and their conversation in this
passage suggests her relations with the
Sultan and the Yildiz Kiosk:
"An artistic, that woman" said Mini.
'It appears that she has twisted more than

days work, J" said Fiji
"Or the Croix-de-fer," added Mini aAh,
Zutl she annoys me-
Jim Neeland, the passion-tossed hero
Of Mr.. Chambers's romance, Is trapped by
Sultan Abduls and Enver Pasha,s mur-
derous agents and the reader win nearly
die Of heart failure before that hero
escapes:
"oh! Neelandi Neeland!" said the
lovely remorseful spy There are men
below who win never let you passi And
Breslau and Kestner are coming here later.
And that devil, Damat Mahmud Bey!"
Golden Beard and Ali Baba and the
whole Arabian Nightsl" exclaimed Nee
land. Who is Damat Mahmud Bey, Sche-
herazade dear?"
The shadow OF Abdul Hamidlp
Yes, dear child, but Abdul Hamid Is
shut Up tight IN a fortressn
His shadow dogs the spurred heels Of
Enver Pasha," she said, striving to main
tain her composure. @Oh, Neelandl hun
dred thousand Armenians are yet to die in
that accursed shadow! And do you think
Mahmud Damat win hesitate in regard to
you!n
The intrigues Of the YiIciz Kiosk, it's
wonders and wickedness, as suggested in
Mr.. Chamberss romapee, have been placed
on the film in a new motion picture,
which viii bear the same tide as the novel
The Dark Star" That exquisite film
artist, Marion Davies, is the star of this
production, fair figure standing out ap-
pealingly against the background OF Turk
ish villainy and vileness.
Rue Csrew, the name OF the heroine en-
acted by the lovely Miss Davies, is born in
Turkey, the daughter of the Rev. Mr..
Carew, an American missionary Accord
ing to common belief, she is under the In
fluence Of the Ozark STAR an evil celestial
body. II is said that long ago some metal
from this star fell into the hands Of an
image-maker, who fashioned it into the
image of Erlik,s Prince Of Darkness, saying
that the possessor of it should be in the
midst of tragedy.
The image is for time in the hands of
a Turkish spy, who entrusts 1t to the Rev.
Wilbour Carew. After a mysterious visit
to the Yildiz Kiosk, the spy is slain. Mr..
Carew and his daughter return to the

image as plaything.
Rue grows to lovely wOmanhood. Her
favorite toy was the god Erik, and when
she finds secret documents IA 1t and shows
them to her father, he explains that he
had not got rid Of them because he be.
Heved they might be of use to the United
States Rue is forced by poverty to, &C
cept occasional boarders, among them be-
ing Brandes and StuH, two scoundrels who
win her good graces for purposes Of their
own. She spends her time at her house
work. and her diversion is target practice
with revolver.
While practicing one day piece Of the
target strikes Jim Neeland, son Of a mill
owner and AN illustrator who is sketching
in the vicinity. He meets Rue and sketches
her and they separate without the pros
pect Of future meeting. Returning home,
Rue finds her father dead upon the hOor.
He has been cruelty assassinated by Turk
ish spies, who have been trying to learn
the secret Of the image from him.
Meanwhile, the plans hidden In the little
god become the subject Of wide search by
Turkish spies. Chief among these agents
are Princess Naia, an adventures, and
Prince Ajax, who has assumed the role Of a
Cossack Robleman. They meet Neeland,
and Naia seeks to make him her tool.
Rue is about to be married to Brandes
by fraud, when his exposure follows and
Rue fees in despair II the studio of Nee
land. Here she meets the Princess, who,
on being introduced by Neeland, offers to
take Rue to her home, where she hopes to
wrest the secret of the hiding place of the
plans from her
Meanwhile Neeland. who is cooperating
with the French Secret Service, goes to
Brookhollow for the plans, and when Rue
arrives he hides. When she produces the
suitcase in which the plans are secreted
he wrests it from her at the point Of a
revolver He escapes and Rue informs the
Princess and Ajax that she not only knows
the plans by heart. but is able to repro
duce them.
Learning that NeeIand is to sail for
Europe, they decide to sail with him, TAX
ing Rue with them. They watch Neeland's
stateroom for six days before the latter
ventures on deck for air. They seek for
the plans in vain, and finally poison his
soup, which the steward leaves in a corri-
dor unguarded. When he falls unconscious
the Princess and Ajax enter his room and
search his effects.
Rue watches them, prey to doubt She
loves Neeland, but she also loves her coun-
try. She rejoices when the search is In
terrupted by the steward, who bears q
wireless message for Neeland.
Neeland reads the message and explains
the truth to Rue. He takes Rue's suitcase
to the captain, who places it in a safe.

beyond their reach,
plan to plant bomb
and escape to another
vessel lurking astsTn.
They truss up Neeland and
Rue, signal to the enemy
vessel light their bomb and
escape overheard, ultimately
reaching France.
Wrestling her hands free, Rue
takes Neeland's revolver, fires at
the bomb, destroying che time
mechanism, then at water pitcher,
the water extinguishing the flames.
They are rescued by officers Of the
steamship, and on their arrival in France,
places the plans in the hands Of the
French.
Both are shadowed by the Princess and
Ajax and Rue kidnapped. She is taken to
a Turkish den and is abouts to be killed
when Neeland arrives in advance Of French
Secret Service agents. She Is rescued.
Ajax leaps to death out of a window, and
the Princess is slain by Apaches. Rue and
Neeland come safely into the harbCr OF
their mutual love.
The secrets of the YildIz Kiosk may
never be entirely revealed, but Mr. Cham
bers's great romance and the film play
founded on It will impress the villainies
planned there, villainies that involved the
whole world in tragedy, deep on the hearts
Of the American people.
