I THE CROSS AND!
THE CRESCENT j
A Story of the Balkan War i
By T. A. MITCHEL
When tbe war between tbe Balkan
states and the Turks broke out It
placed Arthur Andrews, an American
living in Servia, In a condition calcu
lated to drive ftim mad. A few years
before, having come of age and in
heriting a fortune, he went abroad to
travel for pleasure. The Balkan penin
sula attracted him .owing to its rugged
scenery, the gay costumes of its peo
ple and its general oriental appearance.
Tbe inhabitants of Turkey in Eu
rope are a mixture of the white and
Turkish races, Christians and Moham
medans. Andrews was at an Impres
sible. reckless age, an age to fall vlo
lently in love and, being in love, not to
consider the consequences of an ill as
sorted marriage. A young Turkish
girl to whom he was Introduced car
ried him clean off his feet, and he be
came so violently in love with her that,
throwing caution to the winds, he beg
ged, her to marry him.
The lady. Zalde, the daughter of a
pasha, born in the highest Turkish cir
cles, did not consider Andrews her so
cial equal, but her heart was enlisted
as well as his own, and she consented
that he should ask her father for her
hand. The pasha, being an admirer of
western civilization, looked favorably
on his suit and at last consented, pro
vided he would embrace the faith of
Islam. The young man declared that
he would embrace any faith on the
face of the globe If he might be
permitted to embrace the pasha’s
daughter. The marriage was celebrat
ed. and tbe groom, realizing that bis
and his wife's religion would be out of
place in America, remained in Turkey.
Andrews* Mohammedlsm, being skin
deep, wore off with the first freshness
of love. Indeed, the more he saw of
tbe Turks the deeper he sympathized
with those who would be glad to see
the ereseent driven back into Asia,
from which It had emerged many cen
turies before to make Its European con
quests. Born a Christian, It galled him
that the Turks should occupy Chris
tian ground, tha^ their capital should
have been founded by tbe first Chris
tian Roman emperor or that the church
of St Sophia should be a mosque.
When the Montenegrins, in order to
forestall an order from the powers,
broke, sword In hand. Into Turkish ter
ritory and" Servia was preparing to do
her part In the war, a crisis came In
the affairs of Andrews and his wife.
Her father was not only devoted to
the cause of Islatn, but was an officer
high In the service of the sultan. The
young wife declared that she would
stand by her father, her countrymen
and her religion. Andrews asserted
that he would Join tbe Servian forces
and aid In banishing the crescent to
Asia, where it belonged. They parted,
though their hearts were welded,
agreeing that after the struggle they
would fly again to each other.
During those first few weeks when
the allied forces were winning victory
after victory and driving their ene
my before them there were some tem
porary setbacks to the allies. In one
of these Andrews, who commanded a
squadron of cavalry In the Servian
army, was wounded and captured. He
and those taken with him were hur
ried to the rear to a reserve corps,
which It .happened was under the com
mand of Rustom Pasha, his father-ln
law.
Zalde, who was a woman of strong
character, had while living with her
husband become much Interested In
many European institutions, among
others the Red Cross. She had no
sooner Joined her father than she pro
ceeded to organize a similar corps as.
an auxiliary to her father’s command.
One day upon passing hurriedly down
between two rows of cots In a hospi
tal her eye fell upon a face which
notwithstanding ita pallor she recog
nised at once as her husband. She
was about to fly to his embrace when
the horror of the situation rushed
upon her. Andrews had professed to
be a disciple of Mohammed and had
drawn his sword against the prophet
So long as he was unrecognized as a
Mohammedan he would be treated as
a prisoner of war, bnt If he were
known to be or have been of the faith
nothing could save him.
The glances of the two met; and this
same thought occurred to both. There
was a momentary lighting of each
pair of eyes. Then the wife with
drew hers, and she passed on down
the aisle and left the room.
The hospital, though in the Turkish
rear, was not considered permanent
for the allies were pressing forward,
flghting like tigers. But for one day
and night the sick were undisturbed.
Daring the evening Mrs. Andrews,
though worn out with the distressing
work of the day, went In among the
sick, ostensibly to cheer them, but real
ly to steal a brief Interview with her
husband. Taking the precaution to
istop and speak with a number of suf
ferers before reaching the bed he oc
cupied. she at last came to his and
said in the Turkish tongue and a voles
'loud enough to be heard:
“Are yon badly wounded, sir?"
“Only slightly," was the reassuring
reply. /
“Is there anything I can do for you?"
“Tea. During the night 1 am fever
ish and troubled with a burning thirst
If yon can stud about midnight sopia
water 1 shall be grateful."
~r wm sena it tonight”
She passed on, but both understood
that an excuse had been given her to
communicate with him at an hour when
few were about and possibly to have
an interview with him unnoticed.
At midnight she brought* the water
herself. Only one nurse was on duty,
and she sat at a far end of the room
half asleep. Unobserved, the wife
knelt to spve her husband a cup of wa
ter, and their lips met
“You will be discovered surely,” she
whispered. “Indeed, you have been
suspected already. One of the nurses
has asked me if you were not a Mo
hammedan, saying that she has seen
you at your devotions in a mosque. 1
told her that I would look into the mat
ter at once. You must leave here at
any cost.”
“Not if my escape shall compromise
you.”
“1 have thought of a plan. As soon
as It is, day begin to groan as If In
great pain and keep it up until I ap
pear. I shall then direct your removal
to a place where you will not disturb
your fellow prisoners. Once there, we
may carry out my Intentions as to your
escape."
Without waiting for a reply she hur
ried away, leaving her husband fearful
of the consequences that would ac
crue to her in case she were caught as
sisting In the escape Of a renegade
Mohammedan.
However, he could see no risk in car
rying out so much of her plan as she
had given him, and with the first sign
of dawn be began a groaning so loud
that the nurse in charge reported the
fact that it was having a bad effect on
the other patients. , Zaide at once or
dered him taken to a room by himself
au8 remained to look after bis necessi
ties ufter those who had removed him
had left and told him the balance of
her plan .for him. It was that he
should put on her clothes and since
Turkish ladies do not expose the face
there would be little difficulty in- his
walking out past the guards without
being detected.
"And your' exclaimed the husband.
“How will you protect yourself against
the terrible fate tbat will come to yon
when it is discovered that you are
here and 1 have walked out Id your
clothes? Though your father com
mands, he will not be able to save you
from the fury of your people."
“I have a chance of deceiving them;
you have none."
At that moment there came the dis
tant boom of a gun. it was followed
by another and another till the whole
became like low muttering thunder.
“The allies are pressing forward," ex
claimed Andrews. “Quite likely before
long they will have driven their ene
my from this position."
“In that case," was the reply, “there
will be great confusion among us, and
it will not be so difficult to carry out
my plan."
During the morning the booming
grew more distinct, and added volleys
of musketry at last turned the whole
into one incessant roar. Zaide was oc
cupied every moment in providing tor
the wounded tbat were constantly be
ing brought In and could not steal a
moment to visit her husband. Then
came an order to abandon the hospital,
while the thunder of war without turn
ed comparative order into panic.
What became of the prisoners, except
ing Andrews, forms no part of this
story, but in the midst of the turmoil
Zaide hurried into her husband’s room
with a nurse’s apparel—there were no
uniforms—with spots of blood on it.
She had removed it from its wearer,
who had been killed by a bursting
shell. Giving It to her husband, he
put it on, and the two sallied forth.
The Turkish line In front was break
ing before the impetuous charge of the
allies, and panic stricken men were
running past, while random shots were
whistling by Andrews and his wife.
He begged Zaide to make toward the
enemy’s lines, but she refused.
"Go.” she said, "to your people. You
are saved, and I will not be suspected
of having aided you. 1 must stand by
my father and my faith, else I can no
longer live in the home of my ances
tors ."
They were standing, loath to let go
each other’s bauds, Andrews pulling
one way. Zaide the other, when she
was struck by a spent ball and stun
Dfd. falling into her husband’s arms.
He. thinklug that she was dead, with
a cry of anguish, laid her on the
ground. She had scarcely recovered
consciousness when with a shout a
regiment of Servians came bounding
l>ast them and they were inclosed with
in the allied Hues.
The transposition from being under
the cross Instead of the crescent put an
entirely uew phase In the situation for
this loving couple. Both were safe for
the present, and should Zaide return
to her own people there was no reason
to suppose that her having favored a
renegade to the cause of Islam would
be known. She very soon recovered
from the blow she had received and
asked to be permitted to return to her
work. Andrews made a confidant of
bis commander and asked him to delay
the permission.
While waiting the husband made a
strong effort to persuade his wife to
adopt the Christian Injunction to leave
her people and cleave unto her hus
band. He offered to withdraw from
the cause of the allies If she would do
the same with that of the Turks. They
would go to his own home In America,
where Zaide would become one of bis
iwn people. After all, the part of a
wife, common In most countries, to
enter upon her husband's condition
prevailed, and Zaide finally agreed to
his terms. The allies were besieging
Constantinople, and there was little of
Islam In Europe left to detain her.
Together the two aet sail for the land
of all religions.
