In the Hands of the Enemy.

IN the F1dnOS OF the Enemy.
In the first surprise of that unex.
ected joyful cry ringing at my very
ears all my senses seemed confused,
and stood motionless. Then l heard
Bungay utter a smothered oath, and
knew he had wheeled about in the
darkness. Unable to distinguish the
slightest outline of his figure, l was
yet impressed with the thought that
he was endeavoring to muffle the girl,
to prevent her uttering a second cry.
Impeled by this intuition l flung out
my arm hastily, and by rare good luck
ii cane in contact with his hand.
None of that, you little curl" l NUT.

to break away "No hand on her,

this mean?"

movement also, and made a violent
effort to break loose from my grip,
that he might hurry after her.

citedly, "er, by goll', I'll use knife
She'll give this whole thing away ii

For answer l hurled him backward
with all my strength and sprang after
the fleeing woman. But | was already

OUR POLICY TOWARD MEXICO.

IN S Mexico is much the weaker power, all due allowance should
IN be made by our government in regard to occurrences along
the Texan border in regions that are now out of the control
of the Mexican government. In the fighting between the federal
troops and the insurgents at Aqua Prieta shots fred by both pene-
trated the adjacent American town of Douglas. This incident is
regarded seriously at Washington. But let us not forget that the
revolutionary movement in Mexico was begun from the American
side, was promoted by American money and equipped with Ameri
can arms and volunteers. There are hundreds of Americans in the
insurgent forces. Mexico may well ask why our government did
not prevent all this when it was not embarrassed by a revolutionary
war on its hands. There is reason for extraordinary patience by
our government with Mexico. We have the remembrance of what
occurred in our relations with their country years ago, when, with
little show of right, we wrested Texas and California from her
without compensation, and only because we were the stronger
power. A generous policy by our government is the policy now to
be pursued. All LatinAmerica is watching to see what course this
government will take in the Mexican imbroglio. If it is generous
and highminded a most favorable impression will be made not only
in Mexico, but throughout all Central and South America.
