DESPITE the satisfaction expressed
this morning in official circles over
the formal announcement that Car

mediation, it can be said with author
ity that absolutely no assurances have
come from the rebel chieftain that he
will cease hostilities against Huerta
On the other hand, il is understood
that the United States Government is
not particularly anxious that such
bostilities should cease. There seems
little doubt that this Government IS

The Rack, Pace and Amble,

The rack is Il gait of the horse be-
tween a trot and a gallop or canter, in
which the fore feet move as in a slow
gallop, while the hind feet move as in
a trot or pace. 1t is usually an artifi-
clal gait, but is sometimes hereditary
Or natural. There is much confusion
OF terms in respect to this gait. due to
the fact that the gait itself is some
what varied, according as the racker
carries the one or the other fore foot
foremost in the %galloping motion Of the
fore feet; that many confound the rack
with the pace, the words often being
used anonymously, and that many
have mistaken the use Of the words
pace" and "amble.' There is album
dant evidence that the American pace
of today is the amble Of Europeans Of
the last century and earlier. The mo-
ton Of the hind feet is the same in the
trot, the pace and the rack. In the
trot the diagonal hind and fore feet
move nearly simultaneously. In the
pace or amble the hind and fore feet
of the same side move nearly simulta.

A GENERALS BAGGAGE
1t Is No Indication of the Fighting
Quality of the Man.

1t Is No Indication of the Fighting
Quality of the Man.
1t may be laid down as a military
axiom that a generals ability is not
measured by the mount of baggage
he takes to war.
1t is said that when General Sir John
French embarked to take command of
the British forces fighting with the
French against the Germans in north
ern France all the baggage he took was
contained in a single suit case.
When "Stonewall" Jackson started
out on a campaign he took along no
personal baggage except a withered car
petbag Of ancient pattern, and even
this modest receptacle was but half
filled. Both these generals bear distin.
guished regulations as successful lead
ers.
Contrariwise. when Napoleon I'LL,
emperor Of France, left Paris in 1870
to take command Of the armies which,
he said, We're going straight to Berlin
he took along forty-eight trunks be-
sides a most voluminous kitchen and
bedroom equipage. The Germans got
every scrap Of it all at Sedan. His son.
the prince imperial, escaped from Sc
dan and the beleaguering Germans
with his personal effects, which filled a
special train of five Observation-Disclosures

Ralph Leslie, college man. ships as deck
steward on Marshall Turner's yacht Ella
and is befriended by Elsa Lee.
Turner is drinking heavily. Charlie
Jones. a sailor, says the Ella is a bad

Singleton for drinking.
Mrs. Johns, a guest, is frightened anu
asks Leslie to sleep in the after house.
He finds himself locked in.
Vail, Il guest, Captain Richardson and
Karen Hansen, a maid, are found muir
NdsIed by Leslie. Turner and Singleton
are drunk.
Singleton, suspected, is in irons, but
Leslie, in charge of the ship, fears the
murderer Is still at large.
Jones aids in the search. Elsa Lee keeps
the key to the after house. Mrs. Johns is
seeking for the ak used by the murderer.
Leslie, accused by Mrs. Johns, is backed
by the crew and believes Singleton inno-
cent. Miss Lee tries to throw the key

~"Singleton," | said, IF you didn't do
it-and l want to think you did not

He shrugged his shoulders.
"We have women aboard. We ought
to know what precautions to take"
II wasn't the only man on deck that
night. Burns was about, and he had a
quarrel with the Hansen woman
Jones was at the wheel too. Why
don't you lock up Jones:"
I'VE are all under suspicion" | add
United. But you had threatened the
captain"
81 never threatened the girl or Mr..
Vail"
l had no answer to this. and we both
fell silent. Singleton was the first to
speak.
How are you going to get back?
The men can sail Il course, but who is
to lay it out, Turner? No Turner ever
knew anything about a ship but what
it made for him"
Turner is sick. Look here, Single
ton, you want to get back as much as
we do or more Wouldn't you be will
ling to lay Il course if YOU We're taken
out once Il day? Burns is doing it, but
he doesn't pretend to know much about
it, and-we have the bodies"
But he turned ugly again and refused
to help unless he was given his free
dom, and that | knew the crew would
not agree to.
You'll be sick enough before you
get back" he snarled.
With the approach of night our Wig
lance was doubled. There was no
thought of sleep among the crew, and
with the twilight there was a distinct
return of the terror of the morning.
Gathered around the wheel, the crew
listened while Jones read evening
prayer. Between the two houses,

Mansfield Wanted a Likeness, and the
Painter Gave It.
Richard Mansfield once asked Frank
A. MAXWELL to make Il picture of him.
The actor explained that he wanted
an imitation Of an old Roman coin
with his own profile shown instead of
Caesars.
do you want an absolute likeness,
or shall l idealize it a bit?" asked Nam
kivell.
Il want an absolute likeness re-
piled MI. Mansfield stifly. and the
artist made a sketch of his patron.
When the completed picture-a splen-
did piece Of work that looks as if it
were embossed WAS shown to Mr..

Mr.. Mansfield.
"That is not my fault" said Nanki-
veil. You know that you said you
wanted a likeness"
There was Il further exchange OF
courtesies, and then Mansfield sug-
gested that the artist try again. "Ex.
cuse me-" said MAXWELL. Once will
do me-"
We'll change this picture a little"
said the actor. perhaps you can fix
it up"
Not a fix" said the artist as he
rolled up the picture and prepared to
go with a parting shot You don't

You want a photographer. Good day"

1T would be unwise if for no other
reason than discipline"
"Discipline, Are you trying to disci-
pine me?"
Miss Lee. you do not seem to IN
derstand," l said as patiently as l
could. Just now l am in charge of
the Ella. You will go back to the part
of the deck that is reserved for you or
you will go below and stay there"
She flushed with anger and stood
there with her head thrown back, ey-
ing me with a contempt that cut me to
the quick. The next moment she
wheeled and. raising her hand. flung
toward the rail the key to the store
room door. | caught her hand-too

and still she had not spoken. She lay
back and closed her eyes. She was too
strong to faint. She was superbly
healthy. But she knew as we'll as !

delivered it into my hands. AS for
me, I was driven hard that night, for

gradually. rs. one by one, they rolled
themselves in blankets on the deck, not
to sleep, but to rest and watch. The

the deck, called down guardedly to
ask for company. and one of the crew
went up.
When h turned to me- again. it was
to find my eyes fixed on her.

heart leaping. 1t was cold as ice.
That night, at four bells, | mustered
the crew as silently as possible around
the jolly boat and we lowered it into
the water. The possibility of Il dead
calm had convinced me that the sooner
it was done the better.
We dropped the jolly boat astern and
made fast the rope. 1t gave me a
curious feeling, that small boat rising
and falling behind us, with its dead
crew and its rocking light and on its
side above the water line the black
! cross-a curious feeling of pursuit. as
if, across the water. they in the boat
were following us. And. perhaps be
cause the light varied, sometimes it
seemed to drop behind, as if wearyinG
of the chase, and again, in great leaps,
to be overtaking us. to be almost

~ that Turner was guilty. Per
haps. lulled into Il false
u security by the incarceration of
the two men. we unconsciously relaxed
our vigilance. But by the first night
the crew were somewhat calmer. Here
and there Il pipe was lighted and Il
plug of tobacco went the rounds.
l find, on consulting the book in
which l recorded. beginning with that
day, the incidents OF the return voy-
age. that two things happened that
evening. One vas my interview with
Singleton; the other was my curious
AND depressing clash with ELSA Lee,
on the deck that night.
Turner being quiet and Burns on
watch at the beginning of the second
dog watch, 6 o'clock, l went forward
to the room where Singleton was i'm
prisoned. Burns gave me the key, and
advised me to take a weapon. I did
not, however, nor was it needed.
"For Gods sake, Leslie" he said, tell
them to open the window. Pm chok-
ing!'
He was right; the room was sitting.
T opened the door behind me, and stood
in the doorway against a rush for free
dom. But he did not move. He sank
back into his detected attitude.
Singleton" l said, II wish you
would tell me about last night. If you
did it. we've got you. If you didn't.
you'd better let me take your own
account Of what happened. while it's
fresh in your mind. Or. better still,
write it yourself"
He held out his right hand. I saw
that it was shaking violently.
H'"Couldn't hold a pen," he said tersely.
wouldn't be believed, anyhow"
The air being somewhat better, I
closed md locked the door again. and.
coming In. took ont my notebook and
pencil.
