 The impression which Domin- guez made as he spoke these words was indescribable. It was as if his fellow-senators saw him standing before them with 8 self-directed revolver at his head, ready to slay himself, and they helpless. He continu- ed.
 "Don Victoriano Huerta is pro- vOking an international conflict with the United States. In this conflict every Mexican who is Mexican, must die, for the combat would be so unequal that none of us could survive, and we could save our honor to live af- ter us, so that men who land on Mexican shores in centuries to come will say, with uncovered heads, Here once lived nation of a million heroes
 But first it is our duty to a. void, if possible, such con- flict. How shall we do it? Shall we stand idle and let history say that Mexican men wept for rights they could not defend? Here is my plan:
 Let every member of this body sign a petition to Don Vic toriano Huerta requesting him to resign. Vouchsafe me the honor of carrying to Don Vic toriano Huerta this request. I will also present to him this address which I am now mak- ing before you. It is not inn probable that, in his madness, he will lose his patience with me before he has read through the papers l shall take to him, and he will kill me. But the papers will remain there in his pres ence and his curiosity will com pei him to take them from my dead body and read them, and then, perhaps, he will see the truth and will also slay himself.

 Domlnguez took his seat. The Mexican senate sat in silence moment and then proceeded with other business. Dominguez had lost. He rose, walked to the cloak room, got his hat and went out into the street and to his home. Within half an hour he was arrested.
 Of all the terrible stories that are told of the hideous deaths of Huerta's enemies, those de- tailing the death of Dominguez are the most awful. Mexicans have every reason to believe that Dominguez was dragged to

CHAPTER WI.

J%onesville was In mourning. Broad
ways departed uncle had inspired not
much affection; he had not been n
to care to; but for many years, to the
workers in the factory, he had been a
sort OF business deity-the semi-provi-
Dental head of the great enterprise
through which they gained their Iveli-
hood. y
The folk of Jonesville had neither
loved him nor revered him; he had
been q sort Of elemental necessity to
their peace Of mind; they had, so to
speak, leaned with a. feeling Of secur-
ity upon his stubbornness, knowing he
would never sell out to the gum trust;
If he did not sell out to the gum trust
the factory would operate; If the fac
tory kept running Jonesville would
continue to eat, drink, and, In its
crude, u%ndevolped way, be merry. Now
that he was dead, a feeling Of uncer-
tainty spread a mild panic through the
little town.
The judge was waiting for the two
men in the hotel corridor. His worry
over what the new owner of the fac
tory might decide to do about the per-
fectly we'll known trust plans was
quite as keen as anyone's, hut his dig
nifty forbade that he should make dis
play of it.
1t was something of a relief to him
when Broadway hurried to him from
the hotel Office and held out his hand,
although the boys appearance was a
shock to him. He remembered him as
Higgins mother had described him
and as the dapper, boyish youth who
had aroused the wonder Of the town
with patent-leather shoes and new
dance steps. This pale, extremely
urban man, young still, naturally, with
a face which told untoward tales Of
night experiences such as were not
written upon any face in Jonesville, no
matter what it's age, nopplussed and
confused him He had expected nor
NAL changes; he saw metamorphosis.
Judge" said Wallace, who, although
a stranger, was first to grasp his hand.
I'm glad to see you" There was a
harassed look upon his face as if he

RENT OF FIRST IMPORTANCE
Decision Of Massachusetts Judge May
Have Created a Decision That
viii Be FarReaching.

When a landlord let's an apartment
with heat, how many degrees OF Fab
renheit is he supposed to furnish?
May the tenant leave the windows
open to admit fresh air, and then COM
plain because the apartment Is not
warm enough? II neither the janitor
nor the Iandlady heeds his complaints
may the tenant Justly refuse to pay
rent? Or is he liable for the full
amount until the expiration Of the
lease?
A Judge In the Massachusetts So
perior court threw some light on these
.seasonable questions the other day, by
ruling against the tenant. remarks the
Boston Globe. The landlord in the
case appears to have agreed orally to
put in new and larger radiators and
keep the apartment nice and warm,
but the promise was not in writing,
and 80 was not valid. The tenant sat
at his desk in his study, wearing a fur
coat and with q hot-water bottle at his

Photography.

important indeed Is the news that
one DR.. Laurie, a London professor OF
chemistry, has discovered a method
Of photographing pictures that Will
enable him-and other people-to de-
eide with the certainty hitherto lack
ing whether they are or are not the
works Of the men to whom they have
been ascribed, the New York Times
states.
Every true art lover knows the
grinding apprehension he is constant
" in lest by some sad chance ne
imagine merit In a picture that only
pretends to have been painted by a
great artist. Hardly n critic OF any
eminence or authority has failed to
make this cruelty humiliating mistake

quite enough to embitter a lifetime.
Given a single unquestionable anthem

that he can decide infallibly that an

nNCE In q while the woman OF To-
~ day finds It e~xpedient to spend Q
day, or part Of one, In the %seclusion
and quiet Of her own room. Such
quiet days are too few, and in the
course of any one Of them she may
be called upon to receive her very
intimate women friends or the mem
bers Of her family. She likes to be
prettily CARRIED, for this reason, and
for the further eason that the day
Is more enjoyable to herself when her
comfortable arraytng is also attract

The effective boudoir garb pictured
here includes a handsome petticoat of
fine nainsook trimmed with lace and
embroidery, a little coat Of Swiss en-
broidery and a cap Of embroidered
batiste decorated with a small wreath
of fine flowers and narrow ribbon
bows.
The petticoat is made of the plain
nainsook with a very wide founce
added. The flounce is made sepa-
rately and Is an intricate affair Of
embroidered batiste and Val lace in
sertion. The embroidery has a deep
scallop along the lower edge and is
finished with wide Val lace edg1ng
to match the insertion. At the upper
edge the pattern shows a beading
through which plain satin ribbon Is
run. 1t Is set onto the body Of the
petticoat with a row Of insertion.

nREPARE/ to reckon with MORE
when the matter Of your Easter
bonnet comes up for consideration.
This handsome material has made a
great success as a feature OF spring
millinery. In big overlapping bows,
in standing rufles and plaitings, and
in the body Of hats, MORE ribbon Is
one of the assured styles for the ap-
preaching spring.
Other ribbons and other kinds OF
silk are used as much but not flea
tured" as taffeta Is in the makeup OF
the new hats.
For early spring nothing could be
better than MORE. It is elegance ex-
pressed in ribbon. The weave has
the appearance Of being heavy, al
though it is not in reality heavy
weight, and lends itself to the stand
ing rufles and plaitings and the big,
vigorous bows which designers are
using with such good effect.
On turbans, standing brims and
coronets are covered with MORE laid
on plain, or shapes Of straw or silk
braid are provided with soft crown
and trimmings OF MORE.
A smart turban is shown here with
a plated rufle at n side. The whole
turban is in mustard"colored hemp
and MORE ribbon finished with a lit
tie bunch Of cherries at the front.
1t is an American design of French
inspiration, and no French atelier
would scorn to be sponsor for it.
One of those pretty little brimmed
hats made of silk braid, which have
proved so captivating to the highest
class Of buyers, is shown here,

blossoms finishing the trimming. This
