right and left with the whip, and then,
retreating till his back was against
the wall of the shack, he laid about
him with the shortened stock.
With gaping Jaws and wicked, blood.
shot eyes, the pack came on again and
again, leaping at him, tearing at his
clothes; one sank Its fangs into his
right hand, and. ms he freed himself
with smashing blow. the others were
upon him sidewsrd.
In an instant he was struggling with
his one hand against the heavy bodies
that bore him back, shielding his
throat, thrustinK the whipstock into
the red. cavernous jaws. while the an
guish from his wrenched shoulder al.
most made him scream with pain.
Everything was swimming round
him. They had him down. Their bel.
lowing howls grew fainter In his ears.
Mechanically he kept his right hand
at his throat. The left, torn from the
sling, Topped grotesquely In front Of
him. He heard the click of the fangs
that met In 1t. and felt no pain. He
was swooning.

Tentative Agreement Reached BE-

Clouds Hank Low Despite
Peace Negotiations.

Paris. Sept. 23-The question of
the return OF the Turks to Europe
was before allied diplomats today.
Tho British and French cabinets
met to consider the return of Con-
stantinople-t holy city of the
Turks---to the victorious forces OF
Mustapha Kcmal. leader OF the ma.
tionalists. The French cabinet ap-
proved the proposal, as contained IN
an invitation TO Mustapha Kemal TO
attend peace conference.
The proposal also included the re-
turn TO Turkey of eastern Thraee
and the decentralization of the
straits of the Dardaneles.
The proposal for the return oil
eastern Thrace and Constantinople
was tentatively agreed upon by
Premier Poincare and Lord Curzon
British foreign minister, yesterday
Before making II definite, the
cabinets of Britain and France mus
be consulted.
French newspapers today made
the flat statement that France
Britain and Italy have agreed upoi
the return of Constantinople to thu
Turks.
According to lie Journal, Poincare
Curzon and Sforza of Italy, have de
cided that Constantinople, Adrian
ople and a portion of Thrace shoul'
be ceaded to the Turks.
In spite of this development whicl
led many to believe that the Nea

suit in war between England am
the Turks could be averted. wa
clouds hung low.
The threat of holy war whicl
was received here from India wa
the principal source of new worr
for the allied diplomats.

Bey, Turkish nationalist represents
tive here, stated that all the adhel
