CHAPTER XII.
A Prima Donna of the Past.

A Prima Donna of the Past. Dorcas and Merry paused for mo-
 ment before flight of steps which led
 up to what had once been a fine private residence. It's exclusive days were past; it was beckoning with @ garish blaze of light to every passer- by. Through the open door came strains from the overture to William Tell"
 What a queer place." said the girl. You can't realize it's queerness un- til we are inside. The crowd that gathers here is as motley as any you find in New York"
 Dorcas ran lightly up the steps. The cafe, shabby and weather-beaten out doors, was bizarre inside. At the far ther end a daub of painted canvas at- tempted to create the illusion of sunlit fields. Against it rose theatrical apple tree. A hundred electric lights
 blazed> inside crimson apples on its widespread branches. Under it, at a
 huddle of tables, people were dining vociferously. The place shrieked it's antagonism to the civilized ceremony
 of feeding. Humanity dug its elbows
 into one another while it handled
 knives and forks, and screamed it's
 conversation. The rooms reeked with
 hundred odors of highly-seasoned | food and tobacco smoke. It was be
 wildering blend of light and smells and
 noise. Dorcas followed Merry through the labyrinth to a small table in a
 distant corner, hedged about with | palms.
 T come here time and again." con-
 fessed Merry after they were seated.
 'I love the place; the crowd is so in
 teresting People let themselves loose
 in coop like this; they enjoy life
 frankly"
 | Il should think they did" Dorcas laughed gaily.
 Across the room party of college
 lads were humming ragtime song | in utter inharmony to the orchestra
 music. Corks were popping amid the
 rattle of dishes and silver while laugh ter in a hundred tones, and the Ian guages of all the old Latin races, were blended in the strange babel.
 Its droll little world said Merry. Dorcas pulled off her gloves and sat
 smoothing them between her fingers: T remember" Andrew gazed about
 him in reminiscent mood, one sea- son I was tied up with summer pro duction, and it was horribly lonesome in New York, There was not a soul in our company wanted to fraternize

BIG WAR CARGO PASSED
Arcadia at Baltimore with Mill
ion Rounds of Ammunition.

Baltimore, June Civilian F. Stone,
Collector OF Customs, to-day discoV-
cred that the Hamburger American
steamer Arcadia. which arrived here
from New York, bound for Hamburg.
had aboarl more than 100000 rounds
Of ammunition and large amount OF
rifles, cartridges and primers.
The manifest, which showed the cargo
already on the vessel when she ar
rived. simply sets forth that II is des-
tined for Hamburg.
For the last three or four years. II
was said, a number Of consignments of
arms and ammunition have been taken
on ships OF the Hamburg Line at New
York, and the vessels have come TO this
port 10 complete their cargoes.
The presumption that the ammuni-
ton might be destined for Mexico pri-
marily was due to the fact that the
name Of the shipper and the consignee
did not figure in the manifest. and 1t
was 10 protect this government from
any possible embarrassing situation as
well as by reason of instructions that
the collector notified the Department
OF Commerce and Labor. He gave an
order for the clearance of the ship, and
IL will clear port on Thursday.

CARRANZA WATCHED
BY VILLAS TROOPS
Soldiers Picked by General
Surround Rebel PreSl-
dents Palace.
fBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.l

Torreon. Mexico. June e.-Either Cen
eral Pancho Villa is keeping General
Venustiano Carranza under surveillance
through soldiers sent by villa TO saltillo'
or the former bandit chief has expert
enced a sudden and very marked change
in his attitude toward Csrranza.
Soldiers OF Villas army, especially de-
tailed for the duty by villa, accompanied
General Carranza from Torreon to SAL
tillo. and are acting as guard Tor the
Provisional President Of Constitutionalist
Mexico in the Saltillo palace.
Friends OF Carranza say that the latter
requested Villa TO supply the guard for
him. as he lacked confidence in the Sonora
troops he had brought from Hermosillo.
Friends Of Villa say the special guard
was offered without solicitation. Rumor,
emanating from apparently authentic
sources. has it that Villa is keeping Car
rama under surveillance, and that Car
rama knows IT,
II is asserted that Villa has decided
that he will take no chances with car
rama in the future. No more appoint
nents calculated to decrease Villas pow
er or prestige will be made by General
Carranza II Villa can prevent it-and the
commander OF the north is said TO nave
taken what is regarded as most effective
steps 10 keep his superior officer in cheek.
From the Carranza standpoint, the
troops sent by Villa to guard the nrst
chief were selected on the request Oh
Carranza before he left Durango rumors
of the revolt I'm Sonora and of discomfort
among the Sonora troops with Carranza
having reached him at Durango. one
special detail from Torreon was sent py
Villa to Durango just before Carranza
left that city. At Torreon the guard was
strengthened by order of Villa. who was
then in Chihuahua. and now a force OF
strictly Villa troops surrounds the palace
at saltillo, sufficiently strong to protect
the chief from harm or to keep him IN
restraint.
