against a manufacturer. The indict.

August caused a sensation.
Atteaux is a dealer in chemicals and

thrown, only a few months ago, Gomez
Esteral hoped to gain a high place In
the new government OF Mexico-a pc.
sition that would serve as a stepping
stone in his ambitions. Disappointed
in this, he has been raising men for a
new revolution, and the fighting which
has already taken place between bis
men and the government forces has
furnished the excuse for the cavalry's
being stationed on the river, exactly
rs was the case when the insurrec-
ton against Porfirio Diaz broke out.
III Gomez Esteral and the Mexican
government were simply fighting out
their troubles to a finish, there would
be no special activity, either OH the
part OF the United States or Of any
foreign powers. You probably thought
1t a little singular, didn't you, that
there should be such marked interest
shown In your messages and cipher
code? OF course you did. II It bad
been merely a case of guarding a from
tier, or maintaining an even break be-
tween the Mexican factions, neither
Germany o Japan would have cared

documents with which you had been
entrusted"
1T does look that way, colonel" as

1T SO happens, however" resumed
the colonel. that the situation is one
OF far greater Importance than a mere
frontier campaign or idleness and
scheming. Gomez Esteral has much
greater ambitions than even the presi-
dency OF Mexico. He has for years
been planning. plotting, working a net
OF line wires all the way from Sonora
to Chile, and his plans are nearly ripe.
Some plans. too, believe me, lads"
What are the gentleman's ambi-
tions?" questioned the eager-faced
Brockett. Does he wish to be an
emperor"
Perhaps" smiled the colonel. but
that would be merely an incidental.
Gomez Esteral plans a confederation
of all the Latin-American nations,
with a united front and a central gov
ernment-himself, Of course, to be the
head-and that united confederation is
to offer Its tremendous strength to the
highest bidder, whether that bidder be
Japan or Germany, for an alliance
against the United States and the con-
quest Of the natfon!"
