some adventure Of the journey had
fetched him up in the far NORTH
rather than IN Rio de Janeiro. The
letters Ivan had given him to his
great friends in the Brazilian capital
letters to facilitate his flight batk
to the frontier-had evidently been
no use to him, after all.
For months past Dorothy had
lived in constant fear of his capture.
Such news she had expected in the
telegram today, that in spite Of
Ivan's heroic efforts to cover up the
fugitiye's tracks, the arm of the
law had seized him at last. IyeE
had withheld his testimony to the
very last, running the risk of being
hailed into court himself on the
charge of assisting a murderer to
escape, not telling the tragic story Of
what he had seen and taken part in
on the deck of the motor boat until
it was veritably forced from him at
the inquiry several days later, but
she had not dared to believe that
Peter could escape the hue and cry
that was subsequently raised.

her beautiful resident city, for The

flushed, quaint frocks dainty and
fresh, bobbed curls, clustering in
dark glory about her head and
around her childish, slender neck
and throat-but her nearest friends
would hardly have known her now
The lovely dull-red glow on her
brown cheeks had faded, her SEN
suous mouth was drawn and hag-
gard with agony, her eyes like dark
blotehes below the brows.
She bowed her lovely, bobbed
head into the cushion of the div4n;
and the blessing Of tears was hers
at last. The long hours of The af-
ternoon dragged away. She was
alone; her mother was
out Of the city, even old Rose, her
colored nanny, did not know Of
her grief and thus could not come
to comfort her; and Ivan-on whom
in these past months, she had be-
gun to lean-was in high com

tucked under his clear-cut chin, ne

She was aroused at last by the

She read the piece through, then
washed her tear-reddened eyes and
waited for The sound Of VANS long,
flow roadster on the drive. She re-
solved at once to keep a brave front
i'm his presence, mostly because Of a
great good-sportsmanship that Peter
had found and loved in her long
ago and partly, perhaps, for puely
feminine reaons that were-by a
long stretch of the imagination--al-
most disloyalty to Peters memory,
She had always cared to appear at
her best in VANS presence. She re-
scretly wondered if this were not,
after all, an indication that what he
had begged for was his at last-nar
heart.
Had her love gone out to him in
these past, bleak, miserable months
of mourning? He fascinated her,
this master yiolinist from the East.
And there was no barrier between
them now. The divorce Ivan had
urged upon her would not now be
necessary; the news from far Alaska
had made her free.

on the first page, and saw with re-
lief it was entirely fair:
Pirate Cove, Alaska, December
End The body of Peter NewhalE
of Augusta, Georgia, was picked u
dead on the beach on the north
coast Of Alaska Peninsula. He was
victim Of the wreck Of the can
|ncry-boat Jupiter that went 10
pieces on the rocks in her effort to
aid the auxiliary schooner Vigtea,
which was in distress.
The above news came as a great
shock to the entire city today. Mr..
Newhall was a member of one Of
the South's most ancient and dis
-tinguished families; and although
the last part of his life has been
overtaken with tragedy, his friends
remember him for the good friend,
chiyalrous gentleman, and social IA
'vorite that he was throughout the
years Of his young manhood.
Peter Newhall was born i'm this
city 36 years ago, the son of Colonel
.Newhall of Gettysbug fame. He
was married two years ago to Miss
Dorothy Stanhope of Savannah.
The affair that led to his downfall
occurred in a motor-boat party on
the Savannah River a year ago last
summer. According to testimony
brought out at the inquiry Peter had
sought bitter quarrel with Mr..
Ivan Ishmin, a 7iolinist Of interna-
national fame who was spending the
season at Aiken, South Carolina.
When the men were at the verge Of
blows, Paul sarichef, Ishmin's see
rotary, interfered in Ishmin's be-
half, and turning on him in a fury,
Newhall was heard to threaten to
throw him out of the boat into the
river.

patches today speak of messages by

the plight of a hospital: but save for
few such modern touches the Waha-

ARAB EMPIRE HOPE
MAY SOON Be FACT
Far-Reaching Results Are
Seen in Mecca Occupation
by Ibn Soud.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
PARIS, October 1S.--The occupation
of Mecca by Ibn Soud will have far
reaching results in the Middle Ea st
and the long cheriched dreams of an
Arab empire may be an accomplish
ed fact in the near future.
The dethroned King Hussein and
his sons. who still reign in the Trans
Jordanic Iraq. have attempted to
achieve a union of all the Arabs un-
der the scepter of Hussein, but the
fact that he openly accepted the Brit
ish protectorate has rendered SuS-
picious the Arab tribes. who received
them with lukeWarm enthusiasm.
King HuSsein is also handicapped
by the fact that before war was
opened by the Turks. he appointed
Emr of Mecca, who was never
popular with the Arabs, and in this
way defended the Ottoman Sultan S
interests against the Arabs.
Ibn Soud Real Arab.
1bn Soud's prestige is due to the
fact that he is a real Arab, represent
ing the uncorrupt doctrines of Mo-
hammed. He is called the Cromwell
Of Arabia and he has ruled his tribes,
which have not been contaminated ed
by European civilization, with an iron
rod. 1t is true that he has accepted
gold from the British. but this has
not weakened his power since the
fact that he accepted it was not wide
ly known.
Since Ibn Soud, whose title is En-
peror Nejd. has occupied the Holy
City. there is great likelihood that
he will be proclaimed Khalif, since
he fulfillS the necessary conditions to
represent the prophet.
BY the force Of his sword and un-
aided by foreigners he succeeded in
occupying Mecca and now he has
enough strength to defend. independ
of Islam.

would be unable to fight and win
without British support On the 9TH
er hand the British are unwilling to
get mixed up in affairs which con-
cern exclusively the world of Islam,
since they have received repeated
warnings from the Mussulman En-
pire to keep away from the struggle
which is exclusively Mohammedah.
Alarm Britain and France.
Great Britain and France, which
have intrusted themselves with a
mandate over Palestine; Iraq and
Syria, are following with great anx-
iety the developments among the
Arabs who have repeatedly expressed
discomfort because of mandatory
countries are very restless since the
"ahabiteS' success.
Ibn Souds tribes, which were arm
ed more with faith and fanaticism
than with machine guns and cannon
have succeeded in defeating King
HuSseins troops, which had been
drilled and were equipped with mod
ern British weapons. 1t is true that
the Franco-British troops now occu-
pyinG Syria, Iraq and Palestine can
easily defeat. in an open battle. the
Arab tribes. but it is doubted whether
under present circumstances the
French and : British governments
would be willing to make the large
sacrifices neceSstated by a long
