The delegations expressed op-
 tinlism regarding the outcome,
 contending there was little doubt
 that the Turks would accept the
 allied demands. leaving the ques-
 tion of the limitation of the
 Turkish gendarmerie only as
 possibility of friction.
 A hitch arose this morning when it was announced that the new instruc- tions to the French and Italian dele gations had not been received. The British delegation received final in- .struetions from London and Generals Charpy and Mombelli decided to go to Constantinople to consult the high commissioners. They returned after learning that the instructions to Gen eral Harrington were intended to ap- ply to them, as the note elaborated at Paris by Premier Poincare, Lcrd Cur zon and Signor Galli, the Italian charge, was a collective one.
 The British had instructions to in- sist at todays conference upon three points,:
 Fixafion of the number of
 gendarmerie in ThraceI with
 drawal of all Turkish troops from
 the neutral zones, military occu-
 patton of Thrace by the Turkish
 army to take place only after
 the signing of the peace treaty.
 At that time the French and Italian delegations understood they had no authority to support these demands and, therefore, sought fur ther instructions.
 Violations of the neutral zone in the Ismid area have caused consid- erable uneasiness among British dele gates. When these were called to the attention of Ismet Pasha, he declared that the conference delays had been so long that it was difficult to hold up troop movements further.

CREEKS TO ACCEPT
 MUDANIA DECISION

Athens, October S.-The Greek government has instructed it's dele gates at the Mudania conference to accept decisions which may be unani- mously agreed upon by the allied representatives.
 This action was taken following the receipt of advices from former Premier Venizelos that eastern Thrace must be considered as lost to Greece.
 Greece will endeavor to secure two months time to permit of the evacuation of her army and the Greek civilian population. which is estimated to aggregate 25o.0o0. It is probable that another 300,0o0 Creeks and Armenians will leave Constantinople for Greece, which will make more crushing the problem of the country. already burdened with refugees.
 Constantinople. October S-A dis patch from Athens to the local news paper, Kirk, says the Greek govern ment has instructed General Mazara- kis to sign the Mudania armistice convention, thereby agreeing to the evacuation of eastern Thrace.

CURZ0N RETURNS TO
 LONDON FROM PARIS

London october S.-Lord Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs, res turned today from Paris. where he had been in conference with Premier Poincare over the Turkish situation. and in reply to inquiries said he had every hope that a reasonable settle ment would be reached. Without be- ing too optimistic, it might be said tLat the allies had overcome a situa- ton fraught with considerable risk.
 Lord Curzon paid tribute to the discretion with which the British military and diplomatic forces had handled the situation.
 It is understood that as result tf last nights cabinet council, some slight amendments have been made in the form of the agreement reached at Paris and instructions have been gent to General Harrington at Con stantinople authorizing him to re- Dpen the conference at Mudania. This. according to government advices, was resumed at noon
 Creeks to Evncuate X One of the first matters to be dis cussed at the Mudania meeting will be the new incursion of Turkish troops in the Ismid region. The gov ernment's view. however, is that be- cause of the new agreement reached at Paris. this fresh violation of neu- tral territory is not likely to cause a serious difficulty and that there will probably be no further infringement of neutrality.
 It is presumed in authoritative quarters here that the Greek evacua- tion of Thrace will begin forthwith.
 No time limit for this evacuation has been fixed. and the period of 30 days. as provided. before the estab- lishment of the Turkish civil admin istration may be shortened if the Turkish authorities take proper steps to secure adequate protection of the non Turkish minorities.

CHAPTER Xxx
Tho End Of All.

The sun shone very brightly that
day, and the snow began to melt on
the places that were not shaded.
When he returned with Elizabeth from
the crest of David Moreland's noun
tain, John K. Dale took a rocker be-
fore the fire and sat there thinking,
thinking, until the midday meal was
announced. When the midday meal
was over, he resumed his chair and
sat there thinking, thinking, until the
afternoon was half gone.
Then he called Elizabeth to him.
"Will you go to my son and tell him
l wish to see him?" he said. And he
added under his breath: II think it is
best that they should know"
Elizabeth heard that which he had
said to himself as well as she heard
that which he had said to her. Should
knowl Know what? She had a sud
den wild fear that Mrs. Dale had
broken her promise never to breathe
a word Of the truth concerning the
Adam Ball affair. Nevertheless, she
put on her hat and her gloves and
went to Bill Dale's Office.
Dale sat with his elbows on his desk
and with his head in his hands. To
all appearances, he was unaware of
the presence of the girl in the door
way.
She spoke. 'BillI"
He sat up straight and faced her.
He seemed surprised.

Your father wants you" in a low
voice. He's got something to tell
you that-that will make you think
almost nothing of me !"
Young Dale frowned. "What is it2"
'Td rather he'd tell you about 1t.
Bill Dale, ! don't think l could bear
to tell you myself"
She turned and was about to hasten
away, when he called to her:
"Wait l"-and she waited.

with your marriage to Jimmy Fayne7"
"NoW
He arose and put on bis broad
trimmed hat. 'Tn admit" he smiled,
that I'm worse than a granny woman
for poking my nose into other peoples
affairs-when are you going to marry
Jimmy, BabeT'
The answer came quickly: Never"
"Neverl"
Never" repeated Elizabeth, very
quietly.
"Neverf" pursued Dale.

hand, take it and press it-and she
saw John Moreland, his bearded
mouth jerking, give the answering
squeeze that meant something very
akin to forgiveness.
She ran out at the gate, ran up to
the giant hillman and put her arms
around his neck; she drew his great
brown head down and kissed him on
the cheek. And John Moreland let
his rifle fall unnoticed to the snow,
put his arms around her shoulders as
though she were his own daughter,
bowed his head and sobbed cut a
few words she did not understand.
Night had fallen when they reached
Ben Littieford's cabin home. The girl
was welcomed with much joy; old
Dale was received with almost affec-
tionate cordiality. A roaring fire was
soon going in the best room, and old
Dale was given the cosiest of the
sheepskin-lined rockers. Ben Little
ford, washed scrupulously clean of
coal smut, sat near the guest of honor.
John Moreland. who was so thought
full that he seemed to hear and see
nothing, sat close to Ben Littleford.
Suddenly Dale looked toward his
host and asked: "Where is my sonY'
At that momen Dale the younger,
in boots and corduroys, appeared In
the outer doorway and answered for
himself:
Here he is, father. Are you wellT'
Dale the elder arose, and their
hands clasped warmly. Young Dale
then shook hands with Elizabeth, who
blushed in spite of herself as she
faced him.
To hide her confusion, Elizabeth
turned TO the tail and lanky BY Heck,

understand her affusIon to Bit Dale
as his old enemy's son. The rifle came
back from across the palings, and it's
steel-shod butt found a place in the
snow beside John Moreland's foot.
Slowly John X. Dale arose and
drew close to him, and then from
John K. Dale's soul came pouring the
pent-up anguish of remorse that had
scared 1t through the years. The tor
rent Of words flowed on, while the
mountaineer stood rigidly regarding
him with d strange light in his pierre
ing eyes.
Il can't ask you to forgive me-"
Dale finished brokenly. 81 don't ex-
pect forgiveness; my crime was too
great. But can't you, for the sake of
the boy, let me keep on trying to
atone for my sin?"
John Moreland looked long and
~searchingly into the face of the plead
ing man before him. The bitter
struggle that was going on within him
was mirrored on his rugged coun-
tenance. But gradually the bitterness
faded; his huge frame trembled; he
put a hand slowly down on the others
shoulder.

Ben L%ittleford's daughter was
watching closely, hoping against hope,
praying to heaven with all her heart;
and then she saw John X. Dale put

word. But 1t didn't matter. John K.
Dale understood perfectly.
Then he took his arm away, faced to
the right, and drew his hat rim low
Over his eyes. For two minutes he
stood there and looked for the little old
cabin down near the foot Of the north
nj of the mountain, and he failed to
find 1t. His mind had gone back once
more to that wOeful night that had cut
his life In twain. He remembered
plainly waking in the early morning
with an aching head and with the
ranking taste of much dead whisky
In his mouth. Remembered seeing Da-
vid MOreland, with a bullet hole
through and through him, lying on the
floor beside him, Remembered his
horror, his smothered cries of anguish.
and his hurried fight.
He had wondered, he remembered,
why the law made no attempt to track
him down. He had not known that the
mountaineer's code Of honor demands
that the ~mountaineer himself collect
that which is due him.
'Tell me-" he said in tones SO low
that Elizabeth barely heard, where is
David Moreland buriedT"
He had turned, and stood facing her.
She pointed to the southwark.
'They buried him out the crest o.
the mountain a little ways, on the
highest place, by the side Of his
wife. That was always a t0uchin'
thing to me, that he buried his wife on
the very highest point of his own
mountain. You know why, don't your
David MOreland believed In God and a
hereafter, and he believed that heaven
was up. He wanted to get ever his
wife's ashes as close to heaven as he
could"
I'D like to go out there John
Dale said, his voice almost a whisper.
I'D like to see the place."
81 wouldn't" replied Ben Little
ford's daughter. For she knew-Oh,
she knew.
"Yes. yes. my dear-I must see the
place." declared John X. Dale, hoarse-
ly whispering-"let's go out there"
There was never any d~isobeying him
when he was determined, and he was
determined now. 1t is strange, that
dread human thing that drew him
Elizabeth turned and started out
the snowy crest of the mountain. wend-
ing her way here and there between
clumps Of snow-heavy laurel and Ivy
and under snow-heavy pines. After a
quarter of an hour of this somewhat
difficult travelling, the two drew up be-
fore a small Enclosure made of round
oaken posts and round open ratings
and hand-split and pointed Oaken pal
ings as high as a mans shoulders, all
Of which were gray and weatherbeat-
en-. Elizabeth knew the spot we'll. She
swung the gate stiffiy open on Its wood
en- hinges and stepped inside. Old Dale,
trembling IN every fiber, followed her.
His face was very. very pale.
Before them were two snow-coyered
mounds bordered with the dead stalks
of flowers Of another year-marigolds,
