Urbana, Hit is not given to the

as the castle and you might get 1t
when you are not looking. Witness
the case of Melvin A. Hollinshead, who
returned recently from a trip to Eu-
rope.
Mr.. Hollinshead is an instructor In
English at the University of Illinois.
For his vacation he went to the
shores of the Mediterranean and found
great delight in burrowing into the
little hamlets and out of the way
places. One afternoon he set out from
the Italian village of Verona. A little
tired from his climb, he rounded a
bend in the trail and came in view OF
pretty hamlet nesting beneath the
overhanging mountain. OF course
there was the inevitable inn. He
called for wine. Seated at table were
three men. They were swarthy, evil
looking fellows with bandanas around
their beetling hrows. The instructor
fingered and spent his money like a
sailor. In the evening he sauntered
forth to drink in the beauties Of the
night. Lost In the wonder of it all,
he turned bend in the road. In a
flash he was seized and tied. The
professor was pushed and dragged
down the mountain slope and into a
cave.
From his little knowledge of Ital
/ ian, Mr.. Hollinshead learned that the
brigands were waiting for their chief.
The entrance to the cave was dark
ened and another moment the chief
was in their midst. He seized the
prisoner by the shoulder and dragged
him into the light of the fire. Their
eyes met. The chief stepped back
with an ejaculation in English. The
recognition was mutual.
'"Tony," cried the instructor.
mister Hollinshead," cried the
chief. And he unbound his arms and

moved their hats and looked on in

occupied what was once the principal dwelllng
of the town, pretentious Spanish home.
This happened to be the day before Ortega
broke camp, hoping to join Pancho Villa in an
attempt to capture federal trains carrying 2,0O0-
900 pesos and $4,000 worth Of provisions to Chi
huahua. Therefore the camp presented busy
scene. The only person who did not seem to be
concerned Ortega himself, who was propped
up cot reading novel.
Ortega does not talk much His answers that
day very brief. He fighting for the
constitution, which had been set aside by the
Huerta government after the assassination OF
President Madero. He would fight until constitu-
tional government restored or he was killed,
Intervention? He did not fear 1t because he
believed in the good faith of the United States.
Mediation arbitration? He would never con
sent to either. ArDtratlOn or medlaLlOn, any
dealings whatever with the administration OF
Huerta would amount to recognition of Its
status. That would never be DONE
Peace was not impossible In Mexico, but could

drawal of Huerta and his friends A provisional
president must be chosen according to the
stitution, some who had not connected him
self with Huerta and had not connived at the
assassination. Seek out the man who would
have been president according to law If Madero
and suarez had died naturally and install him
in office If that were impossible, let Venustaao
Carranza be president until an election could be
held. Personally Ortega thought General Trevino
or DR.. Gomez might do, but not Huerta or De la
Barra or Diaz or any man of that kind.
