A MEXICAN'S
FLIGHT
By ARTHUR W. BREWSTER

During the recent transition OF the
government Of Mexico, In suburban
village lived two families. one OF
whom, the Fernandez, favored the gov
ernment, while the other, the Molinas'
were known to be revolutionary sym
psthiIers-
Nevertheless, these two families had
been intimate friends for years. and
when revolution came and the
Madero government was about to be
deposed both families made an ar
rangement for mutual protection II
the Madero side won then any hunted
Molina would II possible be concealed
IN the Fernandez home. If the Diaz
side won the Fernandez might seek
refuge In the Molina home.
Young Leandro Fernandez, q boy Of
eighteen. during the fighting for the
capture Of the police In the City Of
Mexico acted with the government
troops and when the end came ned to
the home Of the Molinas. BE was Of
no political importance. but had bit
ter enemies who desired to take ad'
vantage Of the anarchy that followed
the presidents assassination. to be
avenged upon the young soldier. he
was successful in reaching the Molina
home and making an entry without be-
ing seen.
Leandro, not relishing remaining hid
den away In an attic or cellar, pos
sessing fresh, rosy cheeks and being
without the slightest sign Of beard.
resolved to make himself up as girl
in order that he might 90 about Ike
other persons. Senorita Inez Molina.
q girl Of sixteen. was about bis she
and loaned him some Of her wardrobe
His mother procured him a blond wig
and sent 1t to him, and with little
paint and powder bis maidenly toilet
was complete he had been educated
In New England, 30 was able to pass
himself OF for an American girl. a
niece Of Senior and Sonora Molina.
No sooner were the revolutionary
forces victorious than young Fernan-
de1's enemies, led by one Manuel Co
sarees, set watch for him at his
home, expecting to take him there after
the assassination Of the president.
They waited for MIN to arrest him on
a forged order Of the revolutionary die
tator, but he did not appear. They
were about to give up, thinking that
he had fed to the country, when some
Of the neighbors Of the Molinas heard
that be was in their house masquerad-
ing as a girl. and. the report reaching
,Cosarees, he made inquiries and found
that the only two young persons in the
Molina family were Inez Molina and
her cousin, Miss Mary Ashurst of
Massachusetts.
Had the would be murderers been
certain that this supposed Mary Ash,
urst was the man they wanted or had
she not posed as an American they
would not have hesitated to take him
out forcibly and kill him. But first
they must satisfy themselves that the
girl was q man and the man they want
ed. and, secondly-a matter Of even
more importance-they dare not risk
troubling a citizen of the United States,
The Diaz government was at the time
in dread Of American Intervention. and
any man committing an outrage on an
American citizen would be severely
punished.

Of some KIM ana saw Fernandez. pu1
did not recognize him, though he rec
ognized them. They went away evi.
dently dissatisfied. and Fernandez be-
lieved that as soon as they could make
up their minds to some method OF
procedure they would call again.
It was natural to suppose that II
they suspected him they would bring
a woman for the purpose Of determin
ing If he were really woman, and
upon the discovery Of his sex they
would take him a prisoner into Me1i'
co and shoot him on the way. Some
thing must be done to provide for such
q contingency.
The plan was hit upon for the two
girls to change Identities by means OF
q makeup. Inez, who was about the
same complexion as Fernandez, put on
the clothes he had worn during the Wis.
It Of his enemies. The blond wig was
then put on, and she was made up
with wax and cosmetics to resemble
him. He. too. was made up for Inez.
True enough. the very next day after
their first visit they came again. This
time they threw or the mask and.
producing a forged order from the new
regime. said they were looking for
Madero soldier who had assassinated
a Diaz supporter. They bad heard that
he was masquerading as an American
girl from Massachusetts, and wished to
determine the truth Of the rumor. They
had brought a woman who would sat.
isfy herself that the person was really
a female, and II 1t turned out to be 90
that would end the matter.
It was coming evening when they
called. and the lights had not been
lighted. The two girls were sitting to.

changed to personate the Massachu.
sets girl, arose and accompanied the
woman to another room. In few
minutes both returned, and the woman
reported herself satisfied. Then the
visitors went away and did not return.
But Fernandez thought 1t prudent to
take his departure. Resuming the per
sonality Of the Massachusetts girl. he
travelled to Vera Cruz as such and did
not change his garb till he boarded a
steamer bound for New York. Then
he astonished the passengers by pulling
OF his wig at the dinner table and sx-
claiming In his natural voice:

Spanish father and Malagasy mother, and he had
a reputation that junk pirate would not steal He
was known as The Tiger Shark from Delagoa
Bay to Zanzibar, and he was we'll named
And that crew on the Donna Isabella were trying
hard to get the same reputation as their captain.
Ach! they were a bright bunch From the mate
down to the cook they did not possess as much
morality as spiny anteater. They had eyes like
sick crocodiles, and they walked like prowling
cheetahs

when we had lost sight of the roofs of Mojanga
There is not a crew like mine on the coast
L do not believe there is, snapped, and Lopez
glared at me and showed his teeth as if he was
inclined to bite me On the ankle
"A storm slammed down on us the moment we
were out of sight of land, and it was that fierce
that it made me think that the Hebey Colt had
been waiting for chance to wipe that bunch
from the face of the earth. 'Hochdorf' I said to
myself you were fool to 60 on boat with
this mob. 1t would take someone like the good
St. Francis of Assist to weigh down the devltry of
this bunch if the Lord is thinking of putting them
out of the road
"That was devil of storm 1t fell on us like
the Curse of Allah and that old tub fled before

could stand her her blunt snout Big seas started
to crawl over if they trying to see what weight
she could carry, and | saw the fear creep over the

Lopez looked at me and showed his teeth. then
ne ordered the mate to take boat and look the hulk
over. Two boats of the Donna Isabella had been
smashed In the storm, and we had but one good
boat left.
Il went with the mate, l and three sailors

that stirs the curiosity so much as battered

There is mystery in a happening of that kind You
bet there is.
when we got close to that brig we saw someone
standing the rail- and when we got little closer
we saw that it was girl ia, slim, supple brown
skinned girl of about eighteen years of age She was
looking at us with two big brown eyes that seemed
to bore through us. We waved to her, but she did
not wave Jack She just leaned over the rail and
watched us as if she was afraid of u.s. That is what
she did. She seemed frightened at our coming, and
she put her two little hands over her breast as to
keep her heart quiet as the mate and clambered on
deck.
Good morning, said the mate Are you all
alone?'
The girl stared at him as if she did not under
stand, and then [ spoke to her in German She did
not open her lips, SO the mate called up one of the
sailors who spoke some native lingoes But it was
all the same. She just stood there with her little
hands clasped across her breast, and her big brown
eyes watching us.

Tariff Bill As 1t Stands In
Final Stage

Bill becomes effective the day
after its passage, except as to
sole iule X (woolen), which will
be effective Jan. 1, 1914, and
schedule Il Sugar, which will
be partly effective March 1,
1914
The bill carries out beyond
question the pledge of the Bal
timore platform to reduce the
tariff In this respect it differs
from the Payne-AIdrich bill,
which was considered not to
have made good the pledge of
the Republican platform of 1908
to revise the tariff downward. :"
Representative Underwood
estimates the bill will save con-
sumers $l,OOO,OOO,OOO a year.
Trainers of the bill assert it is
the lowest and most equitable
tariff measure since the Walker
bill, passed just prior to the
civil war, but soon repealed be-
cause of the necessity of raising
funds to carry on the war.
Another claim of the trainers
is that the bill will prove the
theory that American business
can reach it's greatest develop
ment only through hard battling
on even terms with the COM
merce of the world.
Amount of custom revenues
under the bill estimated for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1914

ue for ten months, $685. 900. 900:
