DON'T DECEIVE HER,

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

The first step you should take is
to seek a reconciliation with the
family you once shamed. Think how
proud they will be that the "blacll
sheep" has been reclaimed, has made
good and is working seriously toward
fine future. The reconciliation will
complete your success, when you have
taken one other step. Don't start your
married life with lie between you
and yur sweetheart-tell her of your
estrangement from your family, but
try to add to that the happy tidings
that you have won their forgiveness.

Helen opened her eyes drowisly
conscious that she had had bad
night. Warren was sound asleep, and
she wondered vaguely what had walked
her-ft must be quite early still, and
then she heard Nora's footsteps and
the telephone rang. The bell must
have rung before and walked her, and
she lay quiet listening to. Nora answer
it. --...........
Mrs Curtis isn't up yet, said Nora,
hushing her voice as much as pos
sible. Helen lay still debating as to
whether to get up or not. Somehow
she knew that she wanted to, and
Vet her body refused to move, and
she closed her eyes again and dropped
asleep. Later, when she awoke, War
ren had come in from his shower and
was brushing his hair. He looked
over at her as she stirred.
Didn't sleep very well, did your
mot very WELL" said Helen, yawn-
lag sleepily.
Il knew you had a pretty poor
night-better stay in bed this morn
ing. I'll tell Nora. to bring in some
breakfast. You didn't sleep very well
while we were away, and this is just
the time for you to stay in bed.
There's nothing particular for you to
attend to, is there?'
Not a thing, Warren, and if you
really don't mind 1 think L will go
back to Sleep"
Helen closed ner eyes and with a
clear conscience prepared herself for
sleep. Out in the dining room Nora
was moving around fixing the table
for breakfast. There was a pleas
ant sound of work in the air while
she could lie still and forget every
thing Warren finished his dressing
and went out into the dining room.
She could hear his spoon rattle
against his coffee cup and Nora's S
voice as she asked him if he would
have another cup. Then the radl-
ator began to hum a little and she
was almost asleep when Nora came
in with a tray.
"Mr Curtis has gone, ma'am, and
he didn't want to come in for fear OF
waking you up again"
'All right, Nora; L really don't feel
n bit hungry. 1 don't think l can
eat a thing
There isn't much here. ma'am; just
r little, to hold you till lunch
Helen could not help smiling at
Nora's way of putting it, and she sat
up obediently and let Nora arrange
the pillows behind her and the tray
on her lap.
This is so nice and comfy" she
said delightedly, as. she finished her
grape fruit and munched her toast.
I'm afraid you'll spoil me, Nora, but
/ do like to be spoiled sometimes"
Nora was putting things in order
about the room and stopped to regard
Helen for a moment.
You're not looking as we'll lately
ma'am, you ought to sleep in the
morning oftener than you do"
'Why, Nora, what do you mean?
Where do look bad?" Helen was
always on the lookout for anything
that might affect her look.
Just a little pale and sometimes
you look tired around the eyes, Mrs
Curtis-nothing much, though re-
assured Nora quickly, only you really
ought to be careful and not tire your
self out doing things"
Helen laughed. Nora, you're a
regular old Mother Grundy, she said
laughingly as Nora went out with the
tray, and then she lay still again and
closed her eyes. She was almost
asleep when the telephone rang.
Don't call me, Nora,' she said as
Nora went past the door, and then
she listened as Nora took up the re-

PRISON NOTES
DECLARED VOID
Attorney General Made Ruling Affect
ing Employment Of Counsel by
Board Of Commissioners.

Austin, Tex, Feb. 27.-In an opinion
rendered yesterday the Attorney Gen
erals Department held that provisions
for attorneys fees in notes executed
by the Prison Commission are void;
that the statute does not authorize the
Prison Commission to incur attorneys
fees in the event they default on a
note executed by it. The only way
by which the Prison Commission can
contract or be forced to pay a debt
is that provided for in Revised Stat
utes, articles 61SS, 6192 and 6193. The
practice of the Prison Commission of
executing notes providing for attor-
.ney's fees does not create any authori-
ty to do so, and would not estop the
State in asserting the invalidity of
such portion of the contract. The
State cannot be sued by private par.
ties without its consent, and claim
or a suit against the Prison Commits

WARSH|P TEXAS
READY FOR SEA
Secrecy In Haste to Complete Big
Warship Gives Color to Report
That She viii Go to Mexico.

Washington, Feb. FIT was learn.
ed at the Navy Department yesterday
that the dreadnaught Texas, now in
the shipyards at Newport News, will
be formally placed in commission next
week. The day set for the ceremonies
could not be ascertained, but it was
declared the big battleship is now
ready for service and is provided with
her full equipment of crew, armament
an ammunition.
The secrecy that has surrounded the
preparations for placing the most for.
midable of Uncle Sans sea-fighters in
commission has given rise to much
speculation. Some time ago it was an.
nounced that the New York, sister
ship of the Texas, would likely be
commissioned first, but it seems that
every energy has been brought to bear
at Newport News to get the Texas
ready for duty without delay. Whether
the serious aspect of the Mexican sit.
uation has been responsible for this
cannot be learned, but such is believed
TO be the case. The Texas will, in all
likelihood, steam southwark irnme.
diately. ostensibily on trial cruise, at
the termination of which she will pro-
coed to Galveston to receive the silver
service which the people of Texas are
to present to the battleship. In this
way, her presence in waters near
Mexico could be easily accounted for,
and she would be in a position to
steam to any point where her services
might be needed upon the briefest no.
tice. Thus it would appear that the
Texas will be pressed into important
service the moment her commander
steps aboard and she is formally turn

MEXICO LAUGHS AT US.

The Houston Post heads an edi.

Mexico" How are we to be any
firmer with them? This long range
frmness don't amount to hill OF
beans. We have issued mandates,
manifestos and ultimatums to the
point of Righteousness, and what good
has resulted? Nothing. They pay no
more attention to us than they do to
the blowing of the wind. We told
Huerta to resign. He told us to go
to the devil and the old sinner is still
holding on like sick kitten to a hot
brick. The indications are that he is
going to hold on until he gets good
and ready to quit regardless of the eff
forts of the United States to eliminate
him.

Villa, the brigand and buccaneer in
control of Northern Mexico, murders
the citizens of this government and
other governments whenever and how.
ever it suits his pleasure, and laughs
our puny protests to scorn. He will
not even let us have the bodies of his
victims-our kinsmen-that we NAV
