storm OF protest arose from all sides.
Orozco. drunk with power and thirsting
for more, denounced his leader as sur
rendering into the hands of the rich.
Instead of calling his loyal followers
about him Madero undertook to argue
the matter. Orozco promptly had him
placed under arrest, and for "A few
hours PasCual OroZco was supreme
commander of all the armed forces in
Mexico.
But cooler heads prevailed Madero
was released and the quarrel, tempo
rarily at least, was forgotten.
Madero journeyed to Mexico city and
was elected President. Orozco re-
manned In the north, commander Of the
entire northern military zone, swearing
undying fidelity to Francisco l. Ma
dero and the cause Of liberty, peace and
justice.
On the afternoon of January 81, 1912
the FL Paso papers printed an obscure
news item to the effect that the garri-
son in Juarez had not been paid in
thirty days. The item was hardly no
ticed. That night, as usual, Juarez was
thrOnged with Americans. The gam
bling halls were running full blast, the
saloons were brightly lighted and the
merchants OF the border town, happy
for the first time in months in the be-
lief that trade had been resumed, kept
their stores open.
At exactly 10 o'clock one shot was
heard. Silence. Then a crash Of rifle
fire burst from the barracks, ushering
in a nightmare OF riot. mutiny and pill
lage.
The Orozco revolution had begun. and
Juarez was to bear the brunt of the up
rising. Five minutes after the first
shot was fired the main electric feed
wires were cut and darkness settled
over a scene such as has not been wit
messed in n civilized country in half a
century.
Maddened with drink the 500 poems OF

streets. Flashes Of flame showed
through the darkness, the crack OF rifles
was punctuated at intervals by a scream,
or the crash OF broken glass where the
mutineers were looting a store
A mob dashed to the house of a loyal
officer He appeared at the door to
argue with them. Holding a lamp
above his head he peered out at the
mob. A crash OF rifle fire greeted him

vomiting blood. The scream OF n woman
in the house was the signal for another
volley. Ten minutes later the house
was belching forth dense clouds OF
smoke.
Incessant firing continued in every
part of the town. Americans. crazed with
fear. darted down the darkened streets,
making their way to the international
bridges. BY a miracle but one Of their
number was hit.
At a large German owned warehouse
the frightened Waterman fumbled at

eagerly watched a cloud OF dust 10 the
east OF the Mexican town.
The cloud came closer The sun sud

troop Of mounted men coming at fun
gallop. Closer and closer they came.
Suddenly they stopped. dismounted,
and crouching low entered a dry irriga-

For a short space they were lost TO

A moment later thin spiral Of smoke

hours after thin spiral was still curling

A scene Of utter wreck greeted the
eye the next morning. Drunken mutt
neers lounged in front Of the gaping
fronts OF the looted stores. In many a

by the drink crazed rioters. In the

Mexican Weed Of Madness

~ NE of the things to lie avoided by
American soldiers in Mexico Is
the seductive marihuana weed,
which grows around Vera Cruz and in
the territory lying between that city
and the capital. For several years
there has been In effect an order Of
the Mexican Government prohibiting
the sale Of marihuana to Mexican SOL
diers. Notwithstanding this order the
dangerous weed Is often smuggled into
camps and barracks and is secretly
smoked by the men. When much in

Villa and his men suddenly swooped
down on a little telegraph station be-

"You will send such messages as

polite one, but II received emphasis from
the fact that Villa had in his hand q
