him by force, he held out for 63 days.

Mexicans to get together and work to-

will find a common ground on which
to stand while reforms are planned
and grievances adjusted, the United

Before Senor De la Barra departed

proofs of an article which will appear
in the Independent on "the situation
in Mexico" urging all his countrymer,
regardless of all divisions of party,
all differences between men," to recall
the sacred interests of our country
and Ito work together for the progress
of true Democracy and the improve
ment of the motherland."
The ambassador penned this appeal
only last night. after his conference
with Senor Limantour, the Mexican
minister of finance, and he considered
it so important that at the very last
moment he had it crowded into the

CHAPTER v.
Incoqnito,

At noon, precisely, Maitland stirred
between the sheets for the first time
since he had thrown himself into his
bed-stirred, and, confused by what
ever alarm had awakened him, yawned
stupendously, and sat up, rubbing
cienched fists in his eyes to clear them
of sleeps cobwebs. Then he bent for
ward, clasping his knees, smiled large
ly. replaced the smile with a thought
full frown, and in such wise contem-
plated the foot of the bed for several
minutes-his first conscious impress
sion, that he had something delightful
to look forward to yielding to a vague
recollection of a prolonged shrill tin
tinnabulation-as if the telephone bell
in the front room had been ringing for
some time.
But he waited in vain for a repetition
OF the sound, and eventually concluded
that he had been mistaken; it had
been an echo from his dreams, most
likely. Besides, who should call him
up? Not two people knew that he
was in town; not even O'Hagan was
aware that he had returned to his
rooms that morning.
He gaped again, stretching wide his
arms, sat up on the edge of the bed,
and heard the clock strike ~.

gagement at two! He frightened at
