,Orozco embrace. They embraced with
4 the swiftness and fervor wherewith one
miobt be expected to kiss a hot flat
iron. It was excessively Mexican.
Madero withdrew whispering to the
| GROUP about him, 1T is a plot. OroZco
and Villa are but tools. We have not
seen the last of it, for there is a master
mind"
Madero did not indicate the master
/ mind, and | am not sufficiently behind
| the scenes to even hazard a guess
Madero May Shoot.
Madero, as an incident to their talk,
! had threatened to have Orozco shot,
| as he had threatened Villa. This ap-
/ peared to impress Orozco.
He could not shoot me today said
Orozco to his officers, because my
men would not have permitted it.
! Some day. when he has the power,
he will shoot me-
Thus separated the big chiefs of the
rebellion. 1t is. thought that there
will be a long tail to the cat, and
that the incident is by no means
closed.
Madero hurried to the apartments
of Navarro.
You must cross the river at once"
Sa1d MadeTO fney VIII XIII you
here"
Then he told the story of the clash
with Villa and Orozco
Navarro shook his gray head He
was cooler than Madero
DO not peril yourself on my &C
count" replied Navarro. Rather than
that let them kill me-"
Madero would not listen to such
counsel. He whisked Navarro down
the Rio Grande, mile or so, in an
automobile to point where the river
is about as wide as the Harlem is at
Washington Heights bridge and sent
the old hero splashing across on a
horse. Navarro gave his word to re-
main in Ell Paso subject to the orders
of Madero. His next and last public
appearance prior to his withdrawal
from society, was in store in Ell
Paso. -

The Suspected Man.

Der not obtainable. sent him $500 Fri
day and $500 Sunday. to help along
the rebel war. If this be true the
rebellion's purse, lean and flaccid
hitherto. is becoming better off. In
that connection. too, it should be
noted that yesterday the sJuarez Gus
toms house. in charge OF Madero's
brother, Gustaye. took in $4,000 in gold.
Gustave Madero. in admitting it. said
that he looked forward to many happy
returns Of the day.
In the .CapftoI.-

meeting in the reception room of the
customs house The walls were full
OF bullet holes and the ventilation

high. safe place on the wall, above
the bullet holes, beamed the bland
countenance Of president Taft The
old-time smile wreathed the lips; the {;
bullet holes meant nothing. week

now stands on its head on the floor
under the picture OF the old liberator.

Madero isn't looking for peace Just |
