American. She did not know very
much about Clothilde. who had always
moved in circle loftier than her
own; but the good souls mind was
filled with matchmaking. If Clothilde
could learn to care for him as
much as he evidently cared for her.
1t seemed to be a case of love at
sight! Perhaps-well, stranger things
had happened. She saw in her mind

lover, the marriage ceremony, the

voice rang out; on his other side he

the monk stepped back behind the
curtain, which fell before him, and
the lights went out. leaving only the
glimmer of candles in two corners of
the room. The outlines of those pres

silence was complete
From behind the curtain came a
low muttering sound gradually in
creasing in intensity, with broken
words in deeper tones interjected as
by an alien voice. Then a draught

that he had never seen clearer re-
presentation of the late Tsar than
this spectral figure with the gaunt
cheeks, gray beard and mighty arms
stretched out over the company. The
Tsar had fallen upon his knees, the
courtiers followed suit, and somebody
among the audience was singing a
Russian hymn. 1t died away; the

that this man. who occupied carved
chair at the head of the long table,
seemed to possess a wholesome au-
thority over the brethren.
THAT is Apollodorus, whispered
Clothilde to Paul; and Paul, looking
at the stern, ascetic face of the man,
was conscious of fund of power in
him which would make his own duty
the more difficult. He grasped the lit
tie dark lantern tightly under his coat.

brink OF the unknown The matter
was assuming a more serious aspect
than ever before.
He ran over his instructions in his
mind His duty was to convince
Nicholas that Apollodorus was an inn
poster. That would turn the weak
minded ruler from his allies and des-
troy the league for ever. He must,
then, catch the man when he was ca
pering round the seaEce room in the
guise of the late Tsar. He could do
no more than that; IL that failed to
suffice, he would fail in his mission.
CIothilde seemed TO realize the pur-
pose of his journey.

Il promise you that. Clothilde," Paul
answered, and at that moment the
dinner came to an abrupt end by the
rising IT the Tsar. The brethren
stood u from their benches and
marched out in order, leaving the
Tsar and his retinue alone with the
head monk and Apollodorus.
Then, since the affair was a matter
of routine, by reason of frequent re-
petition. no words were spoken, but
the whole party fled out in the monks
wake and entered a large, square,
vault-like chamber, at one end OF
which black curtain had been drawn
in front of sort of dais, a platform
containing a dark cabinet and chair
In front of this were chairs in rows
several deep, into which the Tsar and
his courtiers sank, while the head
monk bowed his head and intoned a
prayer. Then, bowling solemnly, he
withdrew, leaving Apollodorus to per-
form his feats.
The monk addressed the Tsar
What he said Paul could not. of
course, understand, but he saw how

mind of the monarch and impressed
himself upon the courtiers. Paul's

How to Brown Hair
Without Detection
Mrs. POtterss WaInut-Tint Hair Stain
Can Be Applied in a Few
Minutes Every Month.

There is a way OF staining gray,
faded or bleached hair any shade de-
sired, from a beautiful rich brown to
almost black, so that it is difficult, if
not impossible. for even experts to de-
tect that the hair has been treated in
any way
This preparation has the tremen-
doUs advantage over hair dyes Of con-
tanning no silver, sulphur, lead or other
poisOns which invariably cause hair
falling. It has no odor, no oil, no sedi-
ment and no grease, and does not rub
off on the clothing. It makes the hair
grow out fluffy and luxuriaut.
A liberal amount as laboratory
trial package of this Walnut-Tint Hair
Stain, together with a booklet on hair,
is sent by Mrs. POtter's HYGIENE Sup
ply Co, 1893 Groton Bldg, Cincinnati
Ohio, in plain, sealed wrapper, if you
will send twenty-five cents in stamps
or coin, and if it is desired to con-
tinue the treatment full-sized packages
may be obtained at drug or department
stores for one dollar a package
1t is applied in a few moments with
the comb, and it stains the hair evenly,
from tip to root It produces any shade
desired. from a beautiful, rich brown, to
almost black

with PanchO Villa and informed

rumors on this side as to the number
OF. prisoners he had executed, and that
these rumors, If allowed to so unan-

Iuster of his great strategic victory,
which had done so much to gain for
him the admiration and sympathy Of
Americans.
He answered me that these execu-
lions has been very few and had been
confined to those officers who had once

No trace of J. H. Francis, One-tlme

ported to have been killed Saturday
morning when Gen. Francisco Villas

federaIS. Francis is said to have come
to Juarez Saturday from TerrazaS
Chin, on the train that brought Villas
men to the border. He has not been
seen since that time and friends are
worried over his disappearance
A S. Robertson, an acquaintance OF
the missing American, sought Gen.
Villa Monday afternoon and asked per
mission to search the hospitals for
Francis Permission was granted, but
search of the hospitals failed to dis
cover the American Robertson plans
to return to Juarez Tuesday afternoon
and hunt for his friend among the dead
who were buried in the Juarez ceme-
terry after the battle.
Francis, it is said. was at the COrri-
ra1aS when Gen. villa captured the
freight train that he used to bring his
troops to Juarez. The American asked
to be allowed to come to the border
on the train and his request was
granted Relatives in Chicago have
telegraphed Villa asking that he aid
them in the search for Francis, who
was at one time prominent in the Hi

HALE REVIEWS HIS
FARLEY AT NOGALES
Carranza Cabinet Member Says Re
mOvaI OF Embargo Is no Longer
Essential to Rebel Success.


NogaIes, Son, Mex, Nov. 1S.-A re-
newaI of the exchange OF views be-
tween VIM Bayard Hale, on behalf OF
president Wilson, and VenustianO Car
rama, chief of the Mexican "ConstlJu-
tionalists'' began at noon today despite
rumors to the contrary.
Hale's negotiations yesterday with
Francisco EscuderO, CarranZa'S min
lister of foreign relations. were said 10
have brought to light a difference OF
opinion which might deadlock diplO-
matte exchanges. No fntimat1on OF
the natme of this difference has been
given by either side It was appar-
emit however. that it was an important
one and until the intimation was CIV
en- at COnStitutiOnalist' headquarters
that Hale and Carranza would again
meet today, there was some doubt Jhat
there would be another conference
Several officials expressed the De
lief that today might see the conclu-
sion of the negotiations between pres
ident Wilson's envoy and the Constr
tutfonalists," but no opinions were
voiced as to what the definite result
of the conference would pc.
Much interest was expressed mere
in EscuderO's plain declaration InaI
the lifting of the embargo by the
United States government on the eA-
pOrtatiOn of arms and ammunition was
no longer viewed as essential TO the
success Of the "Constitutlonaiist' move
ment- The victories over the Huerla
forces at Juarez and elsewhere were
believed to have occasioned the state
ment.
On the other hand, it appeared that
the original expectation of the 1nsur-
gents that the ban on the transfer or
war munitions across the line would
be lifted, had been met with more de-
finite requirements from the W ASH
ingtOn government
Escudero announced that Carranza
was preparing an exhaustive manifesto
regarding the position Of the "COnsti-
tutionaIist'' leaders, both on the dOmes-
tic and international affairs of Mexico.
It was stated also that provisions
were being made to move the head
quarters of the 'COnStitutionalists'
hack to Hermosillo. capital of SonOra-
