said, mot only for its advertising

He scowled. I'D rather be hung
than tackle it. 1t means no end of
research, consulting the authorities,
taking reams of notes, and then on
top of it all, the work of writing. Not
for me! l had just about decided to
write and refuse, when l happened
to think of Kelsey"
"But Kelsey wouldn't take the
job" Anita cried impatiently. He
wouldn't help you out that much.
He hates you like poison
"Of course he hates me-" Bristow
returned equally; and he'd die be-
fore he'd do me a favor. But it's
bound to strike him that the position
would offer opportunities. He might
happen on something discriminating
that would serve to corroborate his
story. He'd think of the chances to
communicate with the great out
side"

"Oh, yes" Bristow granted; land

handled. Why shouldn't he be? He

Weaver X. Eubank, of Jamesburg,

Mr.. Paxton died suddenly on Mon

with his family at the Lakeview
House. stricken with angina pectoris,

She slowly drew herself up from
her chair and then stood waiting.
submissive and yet holly imperious.
you've forgotten something"
Yes? What?" He looked as if
he had not an idea what she meant,
but over his face was a glimmer of
what at that moment she would have
heartily agreed with Kelsey was his
maddening smile. "Ah, 1 see; a kiss"
He repaired his omission, but
lightly.
She threw her arms about his neck
and pressed her cheek to his.
Run now" He gave her a little
push. 1.-The alderman hates to be
kept waiting, you know"
Damn you!" she said through
her shut teeth, the angry fire in her
eyes drying her starting tears. And
then. with head thrown up, she
walked out of the room.
Bristow left by another door to
hunt up his assistant and give him
instructions. AS he finished and
turned to go, he paused.
IF I'm needed for anything i'm
portant, DOCTOR" he said. you'll find
me up in Alderman Higgins apart
ments.'
Hardly had he passed out and
gone his way before the door opened
again, and Kelsey strolled in.
There was no other companionshir
for either of them; for Morton was
an odd, mousy, little man who left
the hospital but rarely even when of
duty.
He had accepted the superintend-
ent's diagnosis of Kelsey's condition
implicitly; but since Kelsey's medica
personality was congenial, he was
willing to ignore any other phases
he might be ~harboring.
But on this especial evening KEEL
sey was seeking Morton's company
for something more than mere So
liability. That morning the CIR,
who had SO attracted his interest
had managed to hold another brief
conversation with him, and in it had
asked him a question on which she
seemed to lay considerable stress
Unable to answer it himself, he had
promised to secure the information
she wanted: and he planned to CLEAN
it from Morton, If he could only sue
coed in weaving the little man from
his abstract theories and specula-
tons long enough to indulge in a
morsel of gossip.
In the two or three days following
that talk of theirs under the shadows

TURKS AND ALLIES
At ACUTE STAGE.
ON DEBT QUESTION

LAUSANNE, June 9.-(By the As
ISOLATED Press 1.-The crisis in the
Near East peace conference over the
question of Ottoman debt has reach
ed an acute stage, the allied delega-
lions receiving instructions to re-
main firm in their position, while
similar instructions to the Turks
came from Angora last night. The
task of American Minister Grew,
who was invited to tender his good
offices, thus becomes more difficult,
and in many quarters it is declared
the conference must either adjourn
OF collapse.
The situation has reached such a.
delicate stage that the Turkish dele,
cation today deemed it necessary to
issue denial of any intention to con-
clude a separate peace with Eng,
land, characterizing rumors to that
effect as fantastic inventions"
