what YOU are doing, Louise" he told
her.
1t seemed to Louise that every
doubt OF her own was emphasized by
the misgivings Of her friends, and, at
last, in desperation, she went to her
lover. ~ don't believe I shall be happy
with you"
He let her go without protest but
the look in his eyes haunted her for
many days. She threw herself into all
sorts Of excitement. Balfour wooed her
but she would not listen.
Thus year passed. and again, one
summers morning, Balfour took the
woman he loved for ride. This time,
however, he did not 'eave this wooing

she had lived Of late, was In recep-

said. II should say yes"
you will love me after you marry

Louise wondered IL she would. In
her moment of indecision her eyes
searched the country, as II to seek
some means of escape from future
which she dreaded. Far up on the hill
side dogwood flung its white
branches against sapphire sky. Un.
der the trees sat a man, tall and thin,
and in shabby clothes.

she said to Balfour.

her scorn.

And she did find him day or two
later.
1t was a very humble Louise who
came to him. You ought 10 nate me,
she said, but hope you still love me

The light that leaped into his eyes
showed how much he cared. "Oh, fool

She looked at him in surprise.
What test?" she demanded.

me. not for my possessions md now

With more land than Balfour, more
money than any of her other suitors,
he had chosen not to tell her, because
he wanted the treasure of her disin-

According to President Mezes and
other members of the faculty OF the
state university in their testimony be-
fore the senate investigating commit
tee, the chief difficulty in suppressing
hazing is the lack of police authority
by the faculty. They have no power
to arrest students or to compel them
to testify. This difficulty could be met
by vesting such authority in the eX'
ecutive head of the institution or
someone else connected with it.

4 A few days ago there was report
that a Japanese naval force would go
to the western coast of Mexico ito
maneuver." This morning a Bryan
lady informed The Eagle that she has
reliable information of a confidential
character that President Diaz was
negotiating with Japan for merce-
naries to put down the instruction,
and that this led to the hasty mobiliza-
ton of United States troops on the
Mexican border. If these rumors have
basis of truth, there are stirring
events ahead. OF course, the Monroe
doctrine will be maintained.

The people of Texas, in common
with those of other states, will regret
the necessity of intervention in Mex
leo and are not in favor OF the an

they recognize the fact that our gov

leo to lapse into anarchy. Our own
safety requires that we safeguard our
selves against the dangers to health,
to life and to property which would
follow such condition. Self-preserva-

That European holders of Mexican

There is bound to be change in con-
