He listened to the big man with a
polite federation, being careful not to
turn his back, and ate a few bites as
he waited, but though it was coming

to depart. Perhaps they hoped to stop

Then, In the middle of a sentence,
and while Bud was bending over the
fire, the Mexican stopped short and
leaned to one side. A tense silence
fell, and Hooker; was walked from his
trance by the warning click of a gun
lock. Suddenly his mind came back
to his guests, and he ducked like q
flash, but even as he went down he
heard the hammer clack! i
The gun had snapped! ls&; y
Instantly Hooker's hand leaped to
his pistol and he fired from the hip
pointblank at the would-be murderer.
With a yell to the others, n OF the
Mexicans sprang on him from behind
and tried to bear him down. They
struggled for a moment while Bud
shot blindly with his pistol and went
down fighting.
Bud was q giant compared to the
stunted Mexicans, and he threw them
about like dogs that hang on to . bear.
With q man in each hand he ~ to

him; then. In despair Of shaking of
his rider, he staggered a few steps
and hurled himself over backward into

A yell Of agony followed their fall
and, as the live Goals bit through the
Mexican's thin shirt, he fought like

ties were kicked In every direction,
and when Hooker leaped to his feet
the Mexican scrambled up and rushed
madly for the creek.
But, though Bud was free, the bat

brief interval OF his fight the other

The instant he rose they covered him.
Their chief, who by some miracle had

me about hls cOnQueSts among the women, and teasing me about this woman and that one being his girl. And wherever we went other people were always guying him, and telling what a devil of a fellow he was among the women And it made me want to know just how much truth there was in it.
 "So one day in the early part Of May. when I was in New York, I was passing a place where there were electrical devices for sale in the win dow, and I went in and asked if they had dictographs They said no. and asked if you get them of the Edison Company and they said no, but there was a dictogTaph company. and the man got the telephone book and hustled out the address, which he wrote down for me.
 Angry at Diseosure.
 "I went to the place. and in the conversation that l had with the man in charge l asked him if ] bought one could ] rely upon it's being kept se- cret and he assured me that no one could ever possibly know about it. as they regarded all their transactions with their customers as confidential. With that understanding l bought it. and I consider that the company has treated me very badly in breaking faith with me and making the matter public.
 "Of course, I am sorry enough now that I did install the dictograph. but nobody could foresee this sad acci dent that has happened in our house As for the rest, everything that have heard over it, and have listened to my husbands conversations with his patients, has been perfectly proper and of a nature to allay all of my sus. picions and renew my confidence in him. In a word ] wanted to know | the truth of my husbands relations to his patients, what he said to them and i they to him, behind those closed doors and have found out through the dico phone.
 "On Monday night had a head ache, as ] said. and I was not listen ing, and so l heard none of the con Yersauon tha0 passed between my husband and Mrs. Bailey All that
 know was the sound of the shot, an, the horrorstricken cries in tn, house"

Mrs. Edwin Carmau.

FREEPORT, l.. l., July 11.-(Spe- ciaD Despite the finding of bullets in the Carman house exactly like the one that killed Mrs Louise Bailey in Dr. Carman's office last week, and in spite of the suspicious which were aroused when 1t was learned that Mrs Carman had installed a dicto- graph in her husbands office, the wife of the Freeport physician still insists upon her innocence.
 "I had never heard of Mrs. Bailey until the day of her tragic death, {" says Mrs. Carman, and my husband assures me that he did not recognize her until she recalled herself to him. She was not a regular patient of his. and if she had been it is quite likely that Ishould not have known 1t, as Dr. Carman has a big practice and his waiting room is often SO crowded that additional chairs have to be taken in.
 "On Monday ] had been into New York and came home on a late after moon train Dr. Caman and ! had been planning to go off together on a little holiday We were going down to some farms that we have in New Jersey and take our little daughter. Elizabeth, who is nine years old, with us, and leave her there for the sum. mer On Monday, coming out home. was talking to one of our friends here in Freeport about our proposed trip and he suggested that we make up party of several automobiles and all go together
 Had a Bad Headache.
 When I arrived home ] had a bad headache and was very tired so l did not stop to eat dinner but went upstairs and went to bed at once After a while I heard the crash of shiyering glass, and a pistol shot, and the excitement that followed. jumped up and put on a dressing gown and ran downstairs, but my sister had al. ready gotten down before me, add she made me go back upstairs She did not let me enter the doctors of flee at an and so did not see Mrs Bailey.
 As for having had the dictograph put in my husbands office, I will admit that l was jealous of him, and curious to know what he did. He was always laughing and joking with loluticn at the recent peace conference in Torreon to the effect that the Ca tholic clergy in Mexico be punished for aiding the federals during the rev olution.

Carabaial Expected to Be His

His Representatives Parleying
 With Those of Carranzq m New York; Terms are Expect ed Made; Defeat Confirmed.

WASHINGTON. July 11.-A survey of developments in Mexico in the last 2l hours has convinced officials that internal peace is near at hand.
 The appointment of Francisco Car. baial as minister of foreign affairs means the retirement of Huerta in his favor in a few days, according to messages from the Mexican capital to diplomats here.
 Capture by the rebels of Guadala- iara, within striking distance of Mex leo City. has emphasized to the people in Huerta territory that tri- umph of the rebels is inevitable.
 This is the information reaching of hcials here along with news that per sons prominently identified with the Huerta government are quietly leav- ing the country with their families
 Peace between Carranza and Villa through the conferences in Torreon, has solidided the rebel forces again. but those conversant with details of the situation claim much more bene- hclal results have ensued in the pro- gram for holding honest elections and carrying out reforms that have been drafted.
 The statement Of Carranza that he intends to carry out the plan of Qua dalupe is regarded as significant It provides that Carranza be president until an election shall be held.

that Francisco Carabajal newly ap- pointed foreign minister, replacing Estevan Ruiz, will be named proW- sional president
 This appointment is said to have been secretly sanctioned by both Car ranza and the United States As surance are said to have been given by the rebels that hostilities will cease with Carabajal's assumption of office.
 Rear Admiral Cradock of the British squadron is now in Mexico City. It is generally reported that his purpose is to escort Huerta and the latter's family personally to the coast, where they will probably board a British warship.
 While it is impossible to obtain positive confirmation here, reports point out that many recent develop ments indicate the probability or some such plan having been made at the capital
