SHELL CONSTANTINOPLE
Drop Bombs on Galata 120,000
Turkish Wounded Reported
in Capital
LONDON, Aug. 16.-A dispatch to the
Dally News from Athens says:
"French and British aeroplanes have
flown over Constantinople. They threw
bombs on Galata, causing heavy casual
ties." Galata, on the north sldo of the Golden
Horn, near Seraglio Point, Is Constanti
nople's largest suburb and the Custom
House of the capital Is situated there.
The Inhabitants before tho war were
mainly European Christians.
A dispatch from Athens to the Daily
Chronicle says:
"The Turkish populace generally, It Is
learned on excellent authority. Is con
fused By the rosy communiques which
nrp plastered thickly on, every wall In
Stnmboul Tho people' 'can hardly rec
oncile these glowing accounts of victories
with the torrent of Turkish wounded
pouring Into Constantinople.
"From a reliable source It Is stated
that tho number of wounded In the capi
tal has reached the astounding figure of
120,000, whllo many thousands are at
Muldos or the town of Galllpoll,
"Meanwhile, the strained nnd Increas
ingly bad relations between the German
and Turkish army officers have led to a
serious crisis. On quite Indisputable au
thority It Is said a few days ago a quar
rel among tho staff nnd other ofllcers at
tho front on the Galllpoll Peninsula led
to a mutiny of formidable dimensions
against the Germans.
"The latter were forced to take the
strongest measures to quell the Insurrec
tion, and with considerable difficulty ar
rested tho ringleader and some other of
ficers Involved. These, numbering 43, In
chains, were Rent to Constantinople.
"Several persons who havo Just arrived
hero from the Turkish capital all agree
In representing tho situation as perilous.
One of them was told by the Sultan's
physician that he was very 111 and In
capable of attending to State affairs. The
Sultan was Bald to be In a serious stato
of nervous prostration, audiences being
denied even to the most prominent Ger
mans." .

two hours yestcrdny afternoon cleaning

Tho guns are poclicd with tosmollne, a
heavy preservative grease, to keep them
from rusting. Tho first cleaning Is an
arduous Job.
Whllo Mr. Topper was sitting cross

Mr. Pepper was above the average with

THE DAILY STORY
The king's Jester
Out of the magle stillness of the mid
summer night rang a man's Infectious
laugh. At the sound Amy Pond lifted her
head nnd drew her Idle fingers from the
fountain pool.
"Tho king's Jester Is on tho Job,"
sneered her companion.
"Don't I" protested Amy, then sho added
In confusion: "He might hear you. Mr.
Line sounds carry so plainly at night.
Ilalph Lane wmoto the marble rim with
his palm. "What If Leslie Clifton does
hear me?" he asked sharply. "What la It
to me-or to-you-Amy?" The last won!
.??? not ' llner'ng tenderness.
I have not given you permission to call
mo that," said the girl steadily.
Ho leaned forward, his dark face close
to her fair one. The moonlight shono lm
partially bn both and revealed them
plainly to nn old man nnd n young one
seated on the other side of tho fountain.
"You will give me permission to call
you that nnd much more will you not?"
breathed Ilalph Lano In tho girl's ear.
Amy drew bnck quickly, and rose to her
feet. "It Is Impossible." she said firmly,
"lou do not care for me?" demanded
Lane darkly.
Sho shook her head, "I nm sorry, Mr.
Lane, t never could-ln thnt way. Wo
have always been good friends nnd I
don't like to loso my friends," bIio added
wistfully.
He laughed shortly. It was an unplens
ant laugh, quite unllko the hearty, con
tagious laughter of Leslie Clifton, which
had earned for that Impecunious young
man the sobriquet of the "king's Jester"
or "the court fool," he being merely prl-

Mr. Jasper Boot, chronic Invalid ns well
as cotton king,
Amy Pond was Jasper Hoot's grand
niece and a frequent vlBitor in that bach

Across tho fountain Lane's contemptu

man chuckled In his beard nnd poked
his private secretary, playfully.
"So they call y)u the 'king's Jester,'
do they, Clifton? Well, you havo cer
tainly earned tho title! I've felt 10 years
younger since you camo. You're an anti
dote for old age. If I can over persuado
myself to part with you, I shall recom
mend you as a sure cure for grouchy,
gouty old men like myself."
ClKton laughed again, but this tlmo
his voice was low and bitter.
"Belng the king's Jester has its disad
vantages." he said wryly.
"Such as being laughed at by the beau
tlfut princess?"
"Yes nnd by rlval Jesters!" retorted
the goaded Clifton,
Janpcr roared with laughter, and, hav

In an ccatacy of amusement, he straight

giving him Into tho bunds ot his valet,
returned to tho garden for a smoke bo
foro retiring. In the drawing room Amy's
parents were ploying bridge doublo dum

they were still at the fountain.
He turned tho other way and went into
tho roso garden, which was Mr. Boot's
hobby. In the centre, by tho sun dial,
atood a Blender, pliant, white-clad form.
It waa Amy Pond, her elbows on the
stuno face of the dial, her eyes hidden
In her hands. Ralph Lane had disap

path, the girl lifted her head and looked
nt him. . "Oh-It Is youl" sho said, In a
peculiar tone.
"The king's Jester and the humble
subject of your royal highness," he
bowed, with mock humility.
"You heard!" she cried, contritely,
"I have heard It so many times before,"
he laughed.
"But why why do you do It?"
"You mean, why do I play the fool?"

His finger touched several damp spots on

Jasper to make him Idughnnd and "
"Forget his rMIri" finished lb doctor
quietly.
"It sounds so silly, said Amy weakly
"It sounds hoble to meto us who know
thnt Clifton has left hla own practice In
Uilcngo to lift your unele out of hfs
slough of despondency, lo give him new
life, new views of life, and to leave
him with a fresh grip on the remaining

edge that he may use In other cases.
Thut was the understanding when Jio at
tempted your uncle's cure. Mr. Root
believes Clifton to bo n happy-henrted

whose special study Is nerves, and who
will stoop lo nny means to broaden hla
knowledge. Next week ho wilt leave Mr.
Jasper Root, cured I"

1 have dene him such an Injustice"
"Then now Is a good time to ask his
forgiveness," snapped tho specialist. As
he beckoned to Leslie Clifton and prompt
ly effaced himself from the rose garden
Leslie looked nt the girl's bowed, sunny
head, and hla heart contracted He laid
his firm whllo hand on the silken colls,
nnd when sho had lifted her drenched
eyes nnd lookd nt him she promptly hid
her face In her hands
Lcsllo smiled tenderly. "The king's Jes
ter would have speech with her royal
highness, (ho princess," he said.
"Yea?" sho quavered,
"What would you say If the court fool
conf'ssed himself In lovo with tho king's
daughter?"
"I would say that that Ihe cap and
bolla are but maska to hide the nobleman
behind the Jester's dress," she whispered.
"And would you say anything moro?"
he whispered,
"I would sny that I could love tho man
behind the mnsk and forglvo him for be
ing a Jester becauso he Is eo much morn
a monl" t
And In the roso garden these two traced
the motto that circled the sun dial's face.
"I nm as true as tho sun,"
"You nro truerl" whispered Amy.
And not until then did Doctor Clifton
know that his secret mission waa dis
covered. Copyright, 1011, by tha McClurs Kevrapacer
