CHAPTER XXXIII.
In due coarse Shirley worked
h-?r way to tha business In band
She had come prepared to
state her position very fully, to
argue, and was disappointed
when the commissioner thorough
ly agreed with everything she
(-aid and promised that the mat
ter of sending troops into the in
terior should have his immediate
attentionu b!j would leare her
address, he would write to her
soon as he had made the neces
sary arrangements with the mil
itary authorities.
She found It hard to conceal
lier chagrin whilst she went
through the stereotyped formula
of profuse thanks for his most
a mpathetic attention.
She was passing through the
waiting-room when her eye was
caught by a man whose- face was
vaguely familiar to her. The man
too, was obviously waiting for her
low of recognition. She could
rot remember who he was but
suspected that he might be one
t the minor officials whom she
had previously interviewed,
though he certainly had not that
appearance, and not wishing to
give offense Blie bowed.
Immediately the man address
ed her In English with no more
than the faintest touch of a
I'rench accent.
' Miss Dane believe me, this
is the greatest surprise of my life
and the most pleasurable ... I
J in humiliated because I can see
in your eyes that you have for
gotten me."
But Shirley had not forgotten
lam. His voice revived memory
of his personality. For an instant
the groped for his name and
found it.
"I certainly have not forgotten
you Monsieur Maurois, though It
must be nearly four years since
we met at my aunt's."
"It is full four year. And in
all that time I have not4eft Mace
donia. I hope Mrs. Sibley, is well.
I shall give myself the pleasure
rois treated the most important
maa in Macedonia. And he was
obviously anxious to show every
courtesy to herself. Here was the
good luck she had been expecting
to find at the Commissioner's.
He got In beside her, asking
questions about Mrs. Sibley, the
Westbnrys whose guest he had
been, and New York in general.
It is impossible for you to re
alize the extent to which ' one is
cut off," he explained. .''Our news
papers are often two weeks old
and who can bring himself to read
an old newspaper?
"Then you must find' a very
great counter-attraction in Mace
donia, " she pointed out.
"It is a country of great poten
tialities and what would you?"
he countered. "Here' we are, I
think."
He got ont and as she followed
him she saw Alan coming down
the steps of the house through
taa iron r&Ulngs.
She stepped forward.
"Alan, wasn't it an amazing
coincidence at the Commission
er's office, in tbe waiting-room, I
happened to meet an old friend."
She turped to the Frenchman.
"ily husband Monsieur Mau
rois." As she made the introduction,
Shirley thought she saw Alan
wince. It waa the first time she
had used the words "my husband"
of him.
Maurois refused to come in and
after the formalities of introduc
tion, left them.
Wheri the limousine had turned
the corner, Alan spoke.
"I had the distinct impression
that that fellow doesn't believe
we are married," he said jerkily.
"You must be wrong," she as
sured him. "He has been out here
four years he told me he never
read the American papers and
he addressed me as ''Miss Dane."
"Perhaps. But men like that
have a Start of uncanny instinct in
such matters. And he's a pretty
shrewd sort of man. I should
think, by the took of him."
"You don't like him, do you!"
she challenged.
"Good heavens! I neither like
him nor dislike him," answered
Alan. "To me he la just an ami
able superfluity ... I was just
going to get a breath of air be
fore lunch. Are you coming?"
"No, thanks," answered Shir
ley, and went into the house.
"I'm oft today to have a look
at the depot at Lahana," Alan
told her a couple of days later.
"It's only some forty miles up
country but the roads are very
bad and I shall probably be there
three or four days."
"What about the bandits?" she
asked apprehensively.
"Have to chance it!" he an
swered. "I don't want the troub
le of a police escort. I shan't car
ry much In the way of money."
"I wish you would take an es
cort," she pressed. "I shall be
very worried until you return.
Hadn't you better leave me some
money for ransom In case you're'
captured?"
"There won't be any ransom!"
he laughed. "I am carrying a re
volver. As a rule those fellows
won't risk a fight unless they're
sure of a terrific prize. And to
them J shall be an ordinary trav
eller.1
His' answer failed to satisfy her
bat she said nothing. Gloom had
settled upon her at the thought
of his going up-country.
"Yet he must have been in that
kind of danger lots of times in
Mexico." she told herself. "And I
never worried about It then."
For long after he had gone she
sat brooding, trying to discover
what it would mean to her if Alan
were killed, each time shrinking
away from the question.
"I'm getting morbid." she told
herself and went into the garden
for fresh air. The cold snap had
passed and the weather was fair
and warm as an American June.
A faint breeze came to her from
over the bay, stiwing a longing
to be away from the city . . . She
turned as she caught the sound
of a footstep behind her. She
turned and faced Maurois.

FIRE KILLS LAD

Robert Weber, five-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Weber,
of this city, was fatally burned
today when his nightgown caught
fire from a fireplace at his home.
TOIEf OPERATED
UPON BY SURGED
I
NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (AP)
Flanked by white, robed spe
cialists In an operating room of
the Presbyterian hospital. Gene
Tunney took a 25 minute count
Monday and awakened minus a
troublesome stone that had form
ed at the entrance to his right
kidney.
A minor operation, performed
by Dr. George Winthrop Fish
with Dr. J. Bently Squares and
Dr. Carnes Weeks in attendance,
removed the obstruction. It was
feared at first it might be neces
sary to take out the kidney itself.
The former heavyweight king
rallied splendidly from the opera
tion which was described as "en
tirely successful."
The operation proved far sim
pler than the surgeons in charge
had expected. X-ray pictures, tak
en at Intervals during the past
few days, revealed an obstruction
in the ureter at the juncture with
the kidney. An exploratory oper
ation, wherein surgery was not
necessary, was performed last
Wednesday, but failed to dislodge
the stone.
Civil War Vet
. Is Laid to Rest
Here Yesterday
Funeral services for Francis
Rollo, Civil war veteran who died
Sunday at the home at 280 Mis
sion street, were held Tuesday af
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the
Rlgdon mortuary, with Rev. W.
Earl Cochran . officiating and
Sedgwick Post, G. A. R.. holding
ritualistic services. Interment
was made in the City View ce
metery, with the Odd Fellows in
charge of graveside services.
Mr. Rollo had lived in Salem
12 years. H? was S7 years old
and a member of 4 he local post
of the G. A. R. and also an Odd
Fellow. Reside his second wife.
Mrs. Alice Rollo, he leaves one
daughter, Mrs. Luther C. Curl of
Detroit. Mich., and a son, William
R. of Arkansas City, Kansas.
ot calling upon her without de
lay." "But she is not here," said
Shirley, .hesitating an instant and
then, remembering her signature
in the caller's book, added: "I
have been married since we last
met". Monsieur Maurois."
"Indeed! But that was inevit
able and I should have guessed
It,'
"My name is Brennaway now,
she went on. "Come and see us as
soon as you can. We have a house
in Kalamaria."
The Frenchman thanked her,
called the elevator for her and
got in himself.
"I trust my good friend Stavros
has proved himself accommodat
ing?" asked Maurois as tbey de
scended. "He is a very polite man," an
swered Shirley, "but it is rather j
difficult to tell whether he is j
really taking any notice of what
one is saying to him."
"They are all like that. If you
have , any difficulty with the au
thorities it Is possible that I might
be -of some service. I have many
interests in this country and have
learned something of Its customs
. . . You have a car waiting ?-
"We hire one from Orosdl
Mpak," she answered, "and I
must telephone to. the garage. I
sent the car back as I did not
know how long I should be."
"Then you must permit me,"
said Maurois. nodding to tbe
chauffeur by the curb.
"Oh, I coul"Unot think of It!"
faltered Shirley. "I can easily
wait or take a gharri. You have
an appointment with the Commis
sioner." "That is easily settled," said
Maurois, then speaking in French
to a minor official who hovered
round them: "My compliments to
Monsieur Stavros and I would be
pleased if he would call upon me
this afternoon at my house?"
So that,' thought Shirley as she
entered the limousine, was the
mantler in which Monsieur Man-
