The order was derided. and when the

during the fray that followed they were
forced 10 use their guns. Four shots

After reading the telegram carefully
Mr.. Wilson said he stood by the mes

Advance notices printed in the news

time making a way for the arrivals.
To the surprise of the oldtime keep

quietly and without shouting There
were few remarks and they were made
in hoarse voices that indicated that
the men had spent their energy
BY some the cowcd appearance of the
gang was attributed TO report that
the officers had fired several shots into
the convicts' car after leaving Syra-

There is no truth in that report, A"
said Jackson. The men were order

Henry Lane Wilson American Am
bassador 70 Mexico, who was sum-
moned to this country by President
Wilson, arrived here yesterday from
Vera Cruz on board the Ward liner
Mexico, greatly annoyed with the State
Department for failing TO communicate
with him relative to his departure for
Washington.
The ambassador sent a wireless mes
sage to the State Department Thurs
day saying he expected 10 be in
Washington Saturday morning, and
he was plainly disappointed yesterday
when no recognition Of his message
reached him.
He asked anxiously for word from
the State Department when the Gus

formed that perhaps a message or
messenger might be awaiting him on

Wilson or from Mr.. Bryan's depart

guarded in his talk as the Mexico came
up the bay, flung diplomacy to the
winds and said he would stay right

afternoon train for Washington, the
ambassador said:

there? For all l know he may be

The ambassador, who has manner
ism Of thrusting his head forward and
staring at the person he addresses,
looked long at the reporters when he
said this, and exclaimed:
BE sure and put that down"
Despite his show Of anger. Mr.. Wilson
boarded a train for Washington at
midnight
Mr.. Wilson was eating luncheon when
the Mexico was boarded. He did not
hurry with his meal and when he
finished strolled out in the companion
way, where the reporters surrounded

Hazel, after worrying about the
dress she might wear, decided to wear
an old organdie gown which made her
look like a blooming flower. Having
no one to love, she was still only half
alive. She was dressed for the ball
in the garb Of a wall flower.
The. feeling OF caste at a country ball
is. very much alive, and this was the
influencing feeling that was going to
make things miserable. Hazel drove to
the residence of MI. Orlando accom-.
panied by Hetty, her servant. Hazel
walked into the parlor. and she caught
the glance of a man who was viewing
her critically. The music began and
then the dance. Hazel did not dance.
The stranger did not dance either.
Mrs. Orlando seeing this, introduced
Hazel to Legrande, and Hazel felt diff.
ferent, like the pleasant difference
she had dreamed of. -
Legrande contemptuously spoke ir'
reverently Of the Virgin Mother. Hazel
chided him for this, and Legrande ap-
preciated the rebuke and smiled be,
cause he was inwardly rejoiced. He
liked her peculiar differences. This
made him attempt to go further than
acquaintanceship. Legrande, accus.
toned to being petted by society, re-
membered how many had abandoned
themselves to him in an embrace in a
dance. But the s%toical, domineering
attitude OF Hazel was a grateful
change from the submission Of the
many that had bowed to him before.
She danced with Legrande. Lee
grand accustomed to handling women
as toys, still felt that Hazel was diff
ferent. She was SO pure and innocent
she would have made a devil a saint
for loving her. After the dance Lee
grande led Hazel to a bench beneath
the roses. Hazel was sweetly .succumb-
ing to the silent love tenders of Louis.
And Louis became sentimental. Thou
sand roses, bruises and knocks, and
philosophical life theories, told in a
loving way, all these lived for min
utes whilst Louis told Hazel that he
loved, but not bluntly, but by the SOM
Der, sublime way she felt when he
spoke and stopped speaking. Dinner
ended the tete-a-tete and Louis, leav-
ing Hazel, asked leave to write her.
When Louis left, Hazel felt sad, as if
she had lost the most precious thing
she possessed.
