PLEA Protection of Christian Subjects Re fusedWashington Disappointed Lausanne. The Turco-American negotiations are in an unfavorable position; it depends upon the deci sion of Washington whether a con vention will be signed at Lausanne. Ismet Pasha took Riza Nur Bey with him Monday to give him added strength in has talks with Joseph C. Crew. The first indication that the situa tion was less hopeless came when Is met announced that Turkey could o nothing for the United States with respect to the protection of Christian populations in Turkey, who were Ottoman subjects. This was a distinct disappointment because of the previous intimation in Ismet's mswer to Mr. Grew's letter, inquir ing as to what steps Turkey would dopt for safeguarding the legitimate interests of minorities, that he would enclose of copy of the national pact, which includes references to the rights of minorities. Today, however, Ismet said that ifter mature consideration this seem ed impossible because the national pact provided for treaties concern ing minorities with other countries, nd it was not suggested that the United States should negotiate a treaty on this subject. Coming down to the question of the American claims for damages to property, Ismet suggested two alter natives. He proposed that a distinct category of claims to be agreed upon should be mentioned in the treaty and submitted to arbitration, failing an accord In specific cases. The sec ond alternative was that the fixing of a category of claims should be ad journed for later negotiations be tween the two governments and that when requests for damages fell into the field, thus restricted, they should be submitted to two appraisers, one a Turk and the other an American.

Brigadier-General Sawyer issued a bulletin on the president's condition, resulting from the attack of ptomaine poisoning, in which he said new symptoms had arisen during the day indicating complications, and leading to the calling of a consultation of physicians. The bulletin, signed by General Sawyer, said: "Because of new symptoms having arisen during the day indicating com plications in the case of the president, a consultation of physicians has been called.

HARDING I r v Copyright VI Continued. 14 Lulu had played it now as she must have played It then. Half after nine and Dl had not re turned. But nobody thought of Dl. Cornish rose to go.- "What's them?" Mrs. Bett de manded. "Dvvlght's letters, mamma. You mustn't touch them 1" Lulu's voice was sharp. "Say !" Cornish, nt the door, dropped his voice. "If there was anything I could do at any time, you'd let nae know, wouldn't you?" That past tense, those subjunctives, unconsciously called upon her to feel no Intrusion. "Oh, thank you," she said. "You don't know how good it is to feel " "Of course It is," said Cornish heartily. They stood for a moment on the porch. The night was one of low' clamor from the grass, tiny voices, In sisting. "Of course," said Lulu, "of course you won't you wouldn't" "Say anything?" he divined. "Not for dollars. Not," he repeated, "for dollars." "But I knew you wouldn't," she told him. He took her hand. "Good-night," he said. "I've hud an awful nice time singing and listening to you tulk well, of course I mean," he cried, "the supper was Just fine. And so was the music." "Oh, no," she said. Mrs. Bett came Into the hall. "Lulle," she said, "I guess you didn't notice this one's from Ninlan." "Mother" "I opened it why, of course I did. It's from Ninlan." Mrs. Bett held out the opened en velope, the unfolded letter, and a yel lowed newspaper clipping. "See," said the old woman, "says, 'Corle Waters, music hall singer married last night to Ninlan Dea con ' Say, Lulle, that must be her. . . ." Lulu threw out her hands. "There I" she cried triumphantly. "He was married to her, just like he said I" The Tlows were at breakfust next morning when Lulu came in casually at the side door. Yes, she said, she had had breakfast. She merely want ed to see them about something. Then she said nothing, but sat looking with a troubled frown at Jenny. Jenny's hair was ubout her neck, like the hair of a little girl, a south window poured light upon her, the fruit and honey upon the table seemed her only possible food. "You look troubled, Lulu," Mrs. Plow said. "Is It about getting work?" "No," said Lulu, "no. I've been places. I guess the bakery is going to let me make cake." "I knew it would come to you," Mrs. Flow said, and Lulu thought that this was a strange way to speak, when she herself had gone ufter the cakes. But she kept on looking about the room. It was so bright and quiet. As she came in, Sir. Plow had been reading from a bonk. Dwight never read from a book nt table. "I wish " said Lulu, as she looked nt them. But she did not know what she wished. Certainly it was for no moral excellence, for she perceived none. ,"What is it, Lulu?" Mr. Plow asked, and he was bright and quiet too, Lulu thought. "Well," said Lulu, "It's not much, but I wanted Jenny to tell me about last night." "Last night?" "Yes. Would you" Hesitation was her only way of apology. "Where did you go?" She turned to Jenny. Jenny looked up in her clear and ardent fashion : "We went across the river nnd carried supper and then we came home." "What time did you get home?" "Oh, It was still light. Long before eight, it was." Lulu hesitated and flushed, asked how long Dl nnd Bobby had stayed there at Jenny's; whereupon she heard that Di had to be home early on account of Mr. Cornish, so that she and Bobby had not stayed at nil. To which Lulu said an "of course," but first she stared at Jenny and so im paired the strength of her assent. Al most at once she rose to go. "Nothing else?" nld Mrs. now, catching that look of hers. Lulu wanted to say: "My husband was married before, just as he said he was." But she said nothing more, and went home. There she put It to Dl and, with her terrible bluntness, re viewed to Dl the testimony. "You were not with Jenny after eight o'clock. Where were you?" Lulu spoke formally and her rehears als were evident. Dl said: "When mamma conies home, I'll tell her." f 1 rTiTinrtfinrm by D. APPLETON AND COMPANY With this Lulu had no idea how to deal, and merely looked at her help lessly. Mrs. Bett, who was lacing her shoes, now said casually : "No need to wait till then. Her and Bobby were out in the side yard sit ting in the hammock till all hours." DI had no answer save her furious flush, and Mrs. Bett went on : "Didn't I tell you? I knew it before the company left, but I didn't say a word. Thinks I, 'She wiggles and chltters.' So I left her stay where she was." "But, mother I" Lulu cried. "You didn't even tell me after he'd gone." "I forgot it," Mrs. Bett said, "find ing NInian's letter and all" She talked of NInian's letter. Dl was bright and alert nnd firm of flesh and erect before Lulu's softness and laxness. "I don't know what your mother'll say," said Lulu, "and I don't know what people'!! think." "They won't think Bobby and I are tired of each other, anyway," said Dl, and left the room. Through the day Lulu tried to think what she must do. About Di she was anxious and felt without power. She thought of the Indignation of Dwight and Ina that DI had not been more scrupulously guarded. She thought of Di's girlish folly, her irritating Inde pendence "and there," Lulu thought, "just the other day I was teaching her to sew." Her mind dwelt, too, on Dwlght's furious anger at the opening1 of NInian's letter. But when all this had spent itself, what was she herself to do? She must leave his house be fore he ordered her to do so, when she told him that she had confided in Cornish, as tell she must. But what was she to do? The bakery cake- making would not give her a roof. Stepping about the kitchen In her blue cotton gown, her hatr tight and flat as seemed proper when one was "Of Course," Said Lulu, "Of Course You Won't You Wouldn't." not dressed, she thought about these things. And It was strange: Lulu bore no physical appearance of one In dls tress or a'tf anxiety. Her head was erect, her movements were strong and swift, her eyes were' interested. She was no drooping Lulu with draggln step. She was more intent, she was somehow more operative than she had ever been. Mrs. Bett was working contentedly beside her, and now and then hum ming an air of that music of the night before. The sun surged through the kitchen door and east window, a re turned oriole swung and fluted on the elm above the gable. Wagons clat tered by over the rattling wooden block pavement. "Ain't it nice with nobody home?' Mrs. Bett remarked at Intervals, ilk the burden of a comic song. "Hush, mother," Lulu said, troubled her ethical refinements conflicting with her honesty. "Speak the truth and shame the devil," Mrs. Bett contended. When dinner was ready at noon, DI did not appear. A little earlier Lulu had heard her moving about her room. and she served her In expectation that she would join them. "Dl must be having the 'tantrlm' tills time," she thought, and for a time said nothing. But at length she did say : "Why doesn't Dl come? I'd bet ter put her plate in the oven." Rising to do so, she was arrested by her mother. Mrs. Bett was eating a baked potato, holding her fork close to the tines, nnd presenting a profile of passionate absorption. 'Why, Dl went off," she said, "Went offl" "Down the walk. Down the side walk." She must have gone to Jenny's," Bald Lulu. "I wish she wuuldu t uo that without telling me." Monona laughed out and shook ner straight hair. "Shell catch it!" she cried In sisterly enjoyment. It was when Lulu had come back from the kitchen and was seated at the table that Mrs. Bett observed : 1 didn't think Inle'd want her to take her nice new satchel." "Her satchel?" "Yes. Iuie wouldn't take it north herself, but Dl had it." Mother," said Lulu, "when Dl went away Just now, was she carrying a satchel?" Didn't I Just tell you?" Mrs. Bett demanded, aggrieved. "I said I didn't think Inie " "Mother, which way did she go?" Monona pointed with her spoon. She went that way," she said. "I seen her." Lulu looked at the clock. For Mo nona had pointed toward the railway station. The twelve-thirty train, which every one took to the city for shopping, would be Just about leav ing. "Monona," said Lulu, "don't you go out of the yard while I'm gone. Moth er, you keep her " Lulu ran from the house and up the street. She was in her blue cotton dress, her old shoes; she was hatless and without money. When she was still two or three blocks from the sta tion, she heard the twelve-thirty pulling out." She ran badly, her ankles In their low, loose shoes continually turning, her arms held taut at her sides. So she came down the platform, and to the ticket window. The contained ticket man, wonted to lost trains aud perturbed faces, yet actually ceased counting when he saw her : "Lenny I Did Di Deacon take that train?" "Sure she did," said Lenny. "And Bobby Larkin?" Lulu cared nothing for appearances now. He went In on the Local," said Lenny, and his eyes widened. "Where?" "See." Lenny thought it through. Millton," he said. "Yes, sure. Mill- ton. Both of 'em." "How long till another train?" "Well, sir," said the ticket man, "you're In luck, If you was goin' too. Seventeen was late this morning she'll be along, jerk of a lamb's tail." Then," said Lulu, "you got to give me a ticket to Millton, without me pay ing till after and you got to lend me two dollars." Sure thing," said Lenny, with a manner of laying the entire railway system at her feet. Seventeen" would rather not have stopped at Warbleton, but Lenny's sig nal was law on the time card, and the magnificent yellow express slowed down for Lulu. Hntless, nnd in her blue cotton gown, she climbed aboard. Then her old inefficiency seized upon her. What was she going to do? Millton I She had been there but once, years ago how could she ever find anybody? Why had she not stayed in Warbleton and asked the sheriff or somebody no, not the sheriff. Corn ish, perhaps. Oh, and Dv. ight and Inu were going to be angry now! And Di little Di. As Lulu thought of her she began to cry. She said to herself that she had tuuglit Di to sew. In sight of Millton, Lulu was seized with trembling and physical nausea. She had never been alone in nny un familiar town. She put her hands to her hair and for the first time realized her rolled-up sleeves. She was pulling down these sleeves when the conduct tor came through the train. "Could you tell me," she said timid ly, "the name of the principal hotel in Millton?" Ninlan had asked this as they neared Savannah, Georgia. The conductor looked curiously ut her. "Why, the Hess house," he said. "Wasn't you expecting anybody to meet you?" he asked, kindly. "No," said Lulu, "but I'm going to find my folks " Her voice trailed away. "Beats all," thought the conductor, using his utility formula for the uni verse. In Millton Lulu's inquiry for the Hess house produced no consternation. Nobody paid any attention to her. She was almost taken to be a new servant there. "You stop feeling so!" she said to herself angrily at the lobby entrance. "Ain't you been to that big hotel in Savannah, Georgia?" The Hess house, Millton, had a tra dition of Its own to maintain, It seemed, and they sent her to the rear basement door. She obeyed meekly, but she lost a good deal of time be fore she found herself at the end of the office desk. It was still longer be fore anyone attended her. "Please, sir I" she burst out. "See if Dl Deacon has put her name on your book." Her appeal was tremendous, com pelling. The young clerk listened to her, showed her where to look In the register. When only strange names and strange writing presented them selves there, he said : "Tried the parlor?" And directed her kindly and with his thumb, and in the other hand a pen divorced from his ear for the ex press purpose. (TO BE CONTINUED.) "Leviathan of Literature."
