Hamlln sat silent, thinking, and the
scout smoked quietly, occasionally
glancing toward his companion. Final

audible.

Is here yet"
The Sergeant was conscious that his

up.

"She's asked me about you once or
twice; don't seem to forget what you
did for her."

"Thet's wat thought. Well, she's

they're engaged, but I amt SO sure
bout tibet. She an hev got to be

it's strictly on the quiet. amt got
no invite to officers row yit. She's
asked me lot bout you."
Interesting topic"
well, l reckon as how she thinks it
is, enyhow. Yesterday she asked me
bout tibet scrimmage yer had down
on the Canadian. Shed heerd bout 1t
somehow, an wanted the story
straight. So told her all knowed,

"Oh. hell; let's drop it," disgustedly.
"The Lieutenant here YETI"
Sure; his Company Is down on

"How is that?"

lin, suddenly recalled to earth, reached
for the haversack hanging on the Iron
bedpost. "Moylan, the fellow who was
killed in the coach with us, had this
bag. According to Miss Mcdonald, he
bought it here just before starting
on the trip. See this inscription
those are the initials of an old acquaint

permitted him to think otherwise.
Years of discipline had drilled into
him consciousness OF the impossible
gulf between the private and the Off
GERS daughter The latter might be
courteous, kindly disposed. even crate
fui for services rendered. but it must
end there. The Major would see that
1t did, would resent bitterly any pre-.
sumption. No, there was nothing else
possible, II they met-as meet they
must IN that contracted post-it would
be most formal, mere exchange OF
"reminiscences, gratitude expressed by
a smile and pleasant word He could
expect no more; might esteem himself
fortunate, indeed, to receive even that
recognition. Meanwhile he would en-.
deavor to strike lie Fevre's trail.
There were other interests in the
world to consider besides Molly Nc
Donald, and his memory drifted away
to home he had 6ot visited in years.
But thought would not concentrate
there, and there arose before him, as
ne lay there, the face of Lieutenant
Gaskins. wearing the same expression
of insolent superiority as when they
had parted out yonder on the Santa
Fe trail.
"The cowardly little fool" he nut.
tered bitterly under his breath, grip

quire more than his money to bring

the sharp reports. Then a fourth

excitedly: Post Six! Post SIKH
With a single leap the Sergeant was
across the sill, and dropped silently to
the ground. Still blinded by the light
he ran forward, Jerking his revolver
from the belt. As he passed the cor

Brock quite thoroughly domes-

supplied by his Rew xixter-in-
IN W. True. he had gone through some
trying ordeals and had lost mol y little
Of his sense of locality. but be was
sapidly recovering It al the pathway
beca me easier and less obscure. At
first he was irritatingly, remiss In IN
swering to the name Of Medcroft: bnt.
to justify the stupidity. 1t is only nec-
essary to say that he had fallen into
a condition which scarcely permitted
him t know his own name. much less
that Of another. He was under the
spell. Wherefore 1t did not matter at
all what name be went by. He would
have answered as readily to one as the
other. @
He blandly ignored kilograms and
letters addressed to Roxbury Medrroft.
and once he sat like a lump. with ev-
cry one staring at him. when the chair
man of the architects convention ask.
ed if Mr.. Medcroft had anything to
say on the subject under discussion.
He vas forced. In some confusion. to
attribute his heedlessress to a lifelong
defect in hearing. Thereafter It was
his punishment to have his name and
fragments of conversation hurled about
In tones 80 s~tentorian that he blushed
for very shame. In the Bristol. In the
Karntner- Ring. in the Lichtenstein gal
lery. in the gardens-no matter where
he went-if he were to be accosted by
any of the genial architects It was al
ways in q voice that attracted atten-
ton. He could have heard them If
they had been a block away. 1t be-
came a habit with him to in%stinctively
lift his hand to his ear when one Of
them hove in sight. having seen him

he lamented dolefully. Constance had
just whispered her condolences. do
you think they'll consider 1t odd that
you don't shout at me too?"
"You might explain that you ri tell
what l am saying by looking at my
lips" she said. He was immensely 70
lieved.
Considerable difficulty had to be over
come at the Bristol In the matter Of
rooms. Without going into details
Brock resignedly took the only room
left in the crowded hotel. a 6 by 10
cubby hole on the top door overlooking
the airshaft. He had to 60 down n
flight for his morning tub. and he new

For the next quarter of an hour they
chatted in the liveliest, most inconse-
quential fashion. getting IN excellent
terms with each other and arriving at
a fair sense Of appreciation of what lay
ahead Of them in the shape of peril and
adventure.
She was the most delightful person
he had eve met al we'll as being the
most beautiful. There was a sprightlc.
ever growing air of self reliance about
her that charmed and treasured him.
She possessed the capacity for divining
the sane and the ridiculous with splen-
did discrimination. Moreover, she
could jest and be serious with an i'm
partial intelligence that gratified his
vanity without in the least inspiring
the suspicion that she was merely clev-
er. He became blissfully imbued with
the idea that she had surprised herself
by the discovery that he was really
sincerely pleased with himself-for
which he may be pardOned IL one stops

MURDERED IN PALACE.

SAN ANTONIO, April 2.-From
Francisco L. Urquizo, who was in the
national palace in the City of Mexi-
co at the time, confirmation has come
of the report that President Francis
GO l. Madero and vice-President Jose
Maria Pino SuareZ were killed in
the palace and their bodies later talk
en- to the spot where the alleged at
tempt at rescue was made.
Lieutenant Urquizo, who resigned
his commission in the Mexican army
ON the day that the two were killed,
was prisoner in room but a few
doors from that occupied by the two
martyred officials of Mexico. He said
he did not actually see the shooting
few minutes afterward that Madero
and Suarez had been killed. Not m-
til the next day, he said, did he hear
the trumped up story of the present
government. He kept silence and
ten days ago was released In the
guise of telegrapher he made his
way to the United States via Browns
Vile.
Lieutenant UrquiZO also confirmed
the report that President Huerta and
Felix Diaz already are at outs with
each other and that each is gathering
ammunition and surrounding himself
with men in the belief that an armed
conflict between the two is inevitable
The Huerta-Diaz government cannot
last, he said, as half the states of
Mexico have refused to acknowledge

LOCAL BASEBALL NEWS.

Members of the local baseball team
are beginning to be interested in the
great national game and have been
pow-wowing with the Indinas for the
Fast few days trying to get them
enthused enough to play series of
games 1t is probable that the first
game of the season will be play ed
next Sunday.
According to Blythe correspondence
appearing in The Post the past
couple of weeks it is evident that
the rubes down the valley believe
that they have some baseball team
Accounts of the last two games play
ed between the Blythe team and the
Sunnyside team were shown Captain
G. G.. Dunn of the Parker Invincibles
a few days ago. After carefully read
ing them Captain Dunn said that he
did not believe that either team was
in Parker's class, but that if the hay
heaVerS down the creek go to kicking
UP too much noise over their know
ledge of the game he would take his
boys down into the Palo Verde val
ley and show them how the game
should be played by players of class.
''The Blythe team has been swell
ed up considerably over two defeats
which they administered the Irish
ehore boys of Sunnyside," said Cap
tain Dunn, "and unless their case
is attended to soon by the Parker
team they will begin to think that
they are the champions OF the Colo
