and with nothing to do beyond keep
ing back the little crowd Of curious
watchers thronging the steps. Hamlin
interested himself in the assembly, al
though keenly conscious Of those two
men who continued to linger, staring
into the brilliantly lighted room. That
the two were closely involved with
Mrs. Dupont in some money-making
scheme, closely verging on crime, was
already sufficiently clear to the Ser
geant's mind. He had overheard
enough to grasp this fact, yet the full
nature of the scheme was not appar-
ent. Without doubt it involved Gas
kins as victim; possibly Barrett
also. but Hamlin was not inclined to
interfere personally for the protection
of either Of these officers. They could
look after themselves, and, If they sue
cumbed to the charms of the lady,
and 1t cost something, why, that was
none of his affair. But somehow the
suspicion had come to him that he had
accidentally stumbled upon a more
complicated plot than mere black
mail. Mrs. Dupont's intimacy with
Molly, and the use she was making
of her distant relationship with the
Major to further her ends, made him
eager to delve deeper into her real
purpose. At least these two, apparent

ture had scarcely proven interesting.
The last encounter had been q distinct
disappointment. The dispersal of the
card-players was, as anticipated, easily
managed, but the reputation of "Reb"
as killer and bad man had given him
hope Of resistance. But instead he
had proven a perfect lamb. Hamlin
crossed his legs and waited, his mind
divided in wonder between what Miss
Mcdonald might want, and the COW:
ardice Of the fellow just driven out.
The man was actually afraid-afraid
to start row. Yet he had got to his
feet with that intention; it was. only
after he had looked into Haml1n's
face and asked his name, that he be-
gan to hedge and draw back. Could
he have recognized him? Could Mrs.
Dupont have warned him of danger in
his direction? That would seem i'm
possible, for the woman had not been
with him for even a minute since their
conversation. She had given him a
swift signal at the door of the dance
hall, but that could scarcely account
for his present desire to avoid trouble
An engagement? Probably with Mrs.
Dupont. But what was the use of
speculating? Perhaps when the girl
came she would have some light to
throw on these matters. Surely her
sudden determination to see him pri.
vately must have connection with this
affair.
These thoughts came swiftly, for his
period Of waiting proved to be but a
short one. He heard the laughter and
talk as the merry-makers came into
the hotel from the dance hall, crowd
ing the passage. and thronging in to
where the tables were set. Then

of General Trucy ALBERT to get to
the city of Torreon in time to relieve
tia mission upon which he set out
from Saltillo nearly month ago Win
a large force of Federal troops-is eS-
planned by the fact that the greater
part of his 1000 men deserted nm
before he had completed half OF his
Journey. He had reached Madero'
twenty-five miles east of Torreon'
when news of the evacuation Of the
city reached him. As soon as the
vanguard of the retreating Federal
troops came into view General
Aubert's men fed with all their arms
and ammunition.
The~ report that General ALBERT
had gone over to the rebels was not
substantiated
General Alvirez, who started with
1000 men, two siege guns and a num-
Der of pieces of light artillery to re-
take the city of Durango from the
rebels and whose defeat caused the
evacuation of Torreon fell into an
ambuscade at La Iona. thirty miles
to the southwest of Torreon. General
Alvirez made a stout resistance and
managed to get word back to Tor
reon asking for reinforeements.
Another story of the same fight is
to the effect that the Federal troops
under General Alvirez broke and fled
as soon as the first shot had been
fired. General Alvirez. who was re-
garded as one of the bravest officers
in the Federal army. was captured
with his staff and all are said TO have
been executed on the spot by the
rebels.

Lind Admits That Killing of
s. Foreigners Makes Radical
Change Possible.

VERA CRUZ, Oct. 10.-The killing
of foreigners incident to the taking
of Torreon by the rebels is admitted
by President Wilson's representative
hare, John Lind. to be a development
that may alter radically the rela-
tons between Mexico and the United
States. Mr.. Lind has received re-
port that sixty Spaniards were killed
at Torreon.
Il The latest estimates of foreigners
killed places the number at more
than a hundred. 1t is believed that
all the Americans escaped. An Of
fetal version of the evacuation of the
town by the government forces was
Z published here this evening, but re-
ports are credited that a mutiny oc-
Cured among the Federals and that
the town was subsequently occupied
by the rebels.
One story of the fall of Torreon as
received here, reports that the gov
eminent troops, numbering 1000 or
more, who had not been paid for
weeks, mutinied and shot Generals
Alvirez and Bravo and several other
officers, and began looting. Many
foreign residents resisted and were
shot. The rebels, learning of the up
rising, entered the town and were

CARRIED in Lightest of
Attire Man Seeks Place
to Quench Thirst at 2 A. M,

John Brewster. thirty-two years
old, of Ill South Sixth street, was
arraigned before Judge Herr in the
Fourth Precinct Court today to tell
the court why he was found wander
ing over a half mile from his home
dressed in a pair of trousers and I'M
dershirt at a. m. today.
Brewster was arrested at Bank and
Wiekliffe streets by Lieutenant Jones
and Parolman {. Schmitt. Accord
ing to the policemen, Brewster said
he was looking for a saloon and in
his haste to get drink he forgot all
about clothing himself properly.
The police say that Brewster is the
man. who, about ten weeks ago had
a habit of telephoning to various I'M
dertakers in this city shortly after
midnight and telling the undertakers
to go to a certain house where they
would find one of Brewster's deceased
relatives. When the undertaken
would go to the designated address
the people living in the house were
all apparently in the best of health
and their thoughts were far removed
from visit to an undertaking es-
Establishment.
For this offense Brewster was
placed on probation for one year.
When Brewster told the judge of his
latest exploits. he was returned to
the probation department as
delinquent.
