Of the territory from Mexico City to
Salina Cruz have been ordered to
"battlc to the last" to prevent his es-
cape in that direction.
simultaneously with these orders, a
second protest was sent to Washing
ton, according to telegram received
by Carrillo, charging that the consti-
tutionalists have defenite information
that al arrangements have been made
for Huerta's escape under escort of
General Banquet and troops, into Vera
Cruz, where he is to be protected
by American troops under General
Funston.
The protest states further that the
rebels have definite information that
the two miles of track torn up be-
tween Soledad and Pass del Macho has
been ordered repaired for this pur-
pose.
1t is added that the United States,
il is believed, plans to get Huerta to
Spain, where he will be among friends
and safe from extradition by rebels
who regard him as a criminal. 1t is
asserted that in giving this allowed
protection to Huerta the United
States is showing him undue favor
The United States will be asked tt

Predicts Fatal End Of
Transatlantic Flight

San Diego, July 15.-Probably the
greatest adventure in the history OF
the world is about to be taken by
Lieutenant Porte and aides who will
endeavor to fly across the Atlantic
ocean from Newfoundland to Ire
land in a hydroaeroplane. The two
daring av;ators are now almost at
the eve of their undertaking.
Lincoln Beachey, the world famous
aeronaut, who is now living at
San Diego, believes their flight means
sure death. He says they will lit
orally go to sleep in the air if their
machine does not fail them. Here is
Beachey's story.

If wrong, / will be glad of it. If
right, / will have no compunctions.
/ Relieve that a very serious mistake
will be made if the flight is ever at

the actual attempt will be made.
This is not a reflection on Lieuten-
ant Porte or anyone concerned in the
proposed flight; doubtless he and his
aides have been sincere in their eff
forts and the information they have
given to the public. But I believe that
the next week or two will prove to
them all that the transatlantic flight
is not at present feasible, that their
theories have failed in execution.
My prediction of failure is summar-
lied in a few words: The enormity
of the proposition has been under

tirely inadequate. This, briefly, is the
story.

The department of justice has taken
that view of its dissolution suit against
the New Haven system, which prob
ably will be filed within the next few
days, unless the railroad officials re-
verse their attitude and accept the
terms of peaceful dissolution.
The possibility of any criminal acts
keing in violation of federal laws was
being considered by the department
but that phase of the case is apart
from the dissolution proceedings.
District Attorney Whitman issued
this statement:
"When these papers (relative to the
New Haven) reach this office, they
will be closely scrutinized, and if we
have any reason to believe that any
crime of any kind has been commit
ted by any person connected with the
New Haven railroad or its manage
mens in this county, an Indictment
will follow, no matter who the person
may be-"
Certified copies of testimony and
exhibits of evidence gathered by the
commissions examiners were on their
way by registered mail today to dis
trict attorneys in various Jurisdictions
in New York, Connecticut and Rhode
Island, in which New Haven transac-
tions were carried out.

Wentworth had seen the woman in d towering passion: now she threw herself into the fury of her role as she had done in real life. pacing the floor like a caeed tiger She paused al Merry's side half exhausted.
 Think of the child" he pleaded miserably.
 "The child--to perdition with the child."
 Into Enoch's memory leaped scene long forgotten. Upon the edge of 8 battlefield, after bloody encounter, he had once been pressed into hos pital service. Anesthetics were net at hand and he had helped by main strength to hold mutilated soldier while the surgeon amputated shat tered bone. The agony of groan. which the man tried to stif1e. haunted Wentworth for months. Some time in his life Merry must have heard
  Then the woman upon the stage laughed
 Damn her!" whispered the lad, who sat holding the girls hand.
 Wentworth smiled absently. He watched Dorcas make her entrance Something stately and high-mettled. like an unconscious hauteur had been added to the dignity which was his sisters great charm. This dignity con- stantly put Zilla Paget at disad- vantage; she was coarsened by it, bru- talized, and cheapened to degree. The contrast dawned quickly on a gal lery audience.
 "Ain't Miss Wentworth sweet?" whispered the girl by his side.
 'Sweet?" repeated her escort. She's peg higher n sweet. She's game, game clear to the spine The; peroxide liddy's a bruiser. I'm aching to bat her in the snoot.'
 You hold your hands off her. Char ley" answered the factory girl with d gigsle. She could lay Aout your runty little carcass with one swipe"
 Enoch stared at the rest of the play through moody eyes. When the cur tain fell on the second act Zilla Paget appeared on the stage alone to meet uproarious applause mingled witt, jeers and hissing. Wentworth gripped the arm of his chair as he watched her sweep the house with a tyiumph:,,iA . Lo ,...L hoe j,., red of murder in it tore at his heart. He rose, tossed his coat across his arm, groped beneath the chair for his hat, then he slammed down the seat and went out. On the stair he met, an usher

 Enoch descended without answering him. He paused once to push his arms into his coat. but he did not walked down Broadway The rain had ceased, the sky was clear and the stars were shining. He tramped on heedlessly. He realized suddenly that he was far down town in the. business heart of the city. Overhead hung the sign of an old-fashioned ho-; tel.

 Tt is an everyday miracle!"
 There are no everyday miracles, J said Merry. Then he kissed her again.
 She turned away from him to stare out at the window again. On the side walks the rush of city life went on unanimously. Half an hour before she had thought the street sordid and ugly It had changed. The street lights, now clear and white. were circled about by lovely halos. The voices of the children were sweeter and gentler. Next door the servant who was still at work, sang Hitting Irish ballad. Through it ran a con. stant iteration of My own sweet lad
 'Dorcas," Merry spoke hesitatingly you said you trusted me?"

She stretched out her hands as . child might have done and raised her face to the man beside her as if in appeal for help and guidance. He took her fingers between his own with a swift grasp, caught her in his arms, and kissed her.
 "Dorcas, tell me, tell me the truth. Do you love me-"
 Their eyes met, and the girl under. stood. A bewildering happiness which transfgured life throbbed through her heart and body. Merry's face was Luminous, his eyes shone. he seemed transfigured. in one abrupt moment, from listless visionary to man alive with manly vitality.

CHAPTER XXI.
Eacina the Situation.

Enoch had never been drinking man. The sight of drunkenness had frequently aroused in him a species of stOmachic revolt; therefore mere physical repulsion had done much to keep him from one form of debauch- cry. During the days of utter deso- lation that followed his sisters de- parture he turned to whiskey as the sufferer from insomnia seeks relief in an opiate. It did not bring ease, how ever, either of body or mind He went about in a dull, half-sickened stupor, hating himself and the world. One night. i'll a lonely room of the hotel where he had taken refuge, he sat in the darkness for hours thinking; then like flash he saw himself It seemed to him that for second a shutter somewhere, perhaps in some remote lobe of his brain-had flashed open and he saw not only his present con- dition, but his future. It was not a pleasant phantom.
 A half-empty bottle of whiskey stood at his elbow. He stared at it for a minute with a scowl. as if it were an actual enemy. A feeling of nausea crept over him. He lifted it, carried it to the wash bowl, and poured the liquor down the drain-pipe. Then he laid the empty bottle on a tray and set it outside the door. He filled his pipe with tobacco. pulled chair to the window. sat down. and stared at the lights of the city. He fell into one of his introspective moods He began to trace backward every step he had taken since the day he eXacted the forfeit of Merry's bond. He felt like q vessel which had slipped it's moorings and had been unmercifully buffeted by one tempest after another Each one had done its work so ruth lessly that he was q human derelict left swamped and scuttled. The phrase "a human derelict" stuck obstinately in his brain; it described him wildly Already he had had more than his deserts. The vengeance of Zilla Paget was the last straw. The womans image flashed before his eyes; he heard her satanic laugh and saw a neering vision Of nls picturesque gold en-haired lovliness as he had slammed the door and left his home.
 Wentworth gritted his teeth savage ly. then he looked at his watch. It was close to midnight He went

Jason, do you know how guest lives in hotel when he wants to be alone, absolutely alone? He eats in his own room, his mail is brought to him, he goes and comes without word being spoken to him by anyone in the house. You understand?"
 "Yassir.'
 Il wish to have that sort of service in my home until-your mistress re. turns. If it is necessary engage an- other servant to look after your du- ties. l want you to wait on me ex- actly as have explained, You can do it, Jason?"
 "Ill be mighty glad to do it.. Marse Enoch" Wentworth returned to the theater and took up his duties as if nothing had happened His associates greeted him with their usual courtesy; still he felt as if drop curtain had fallen daily labor lay. Women and a few men shrank away from him even while they seemed trying to be polite, some times kind.
 Zilla Paget made no secret of her change of residence. She Haunted the lapse from the conventionalities of life made nine-days gossip in theatrical circles. It even agitated moralities which had been esteemed lenient. The reason back of the intensity of feeling was not, in every case, shocked vir- Englishwoman was held in universal contempt and hatred.
 Curiosity threw out its dragnet among the people in the company, who watched Wentworth go and come among them day after day, treating was colder than anything doled out to her by the players at the Gotham
 T tell you, it's a pose with Went worth," said John Breen, the man who played the janitor.
 Pose nothing" answered his wife scornfully. Wentworth hates Paget worse than any of us do, and that is going some. I've watched them to- gether She knows he hates her, even if she is living alone with him under the same roof. He's afraid of her. I've seen it in his eyes when he didn't know anybody was watching If don't miss my guess there's blackmail or something like that back of it. She's fit for it. Wentworth's a goat in some way that we're not on to-"
 It was several days after his return to business before Enoch met his sis ter. He heard in casual way that she had rented an apartment and had taken Alice Volk with the two chill dren to live with her. Their first en- counter was an ordeal to each one. They came face to face in the foyer. Enoch said Good morning and held out his hand. The girl held it for a second, looking up into his face with eager wistfulness. The ghost of a smile broke over Enochs haggard face, then he glanced backward as the glass door behind him slammed, and Zilla Paget came rustling in.
 He turned brusquely and entered his office. The Jaded look i'll his eyes had changed to shuddering hate. Dor cas passed out to join the throng on Broadway She felt chilled and lonely She did not realize that the sun was shining.

 porcas interrupted him. She put Hp: her hand and pushed aside the lock of hair which had strayed over his forehead.
 !;l'l do not think. then, it would have been pity-alone." she confessed.
 ! He took her in his arms again. "A man ought to have pride and manli- ness enough" he said passionately, ito want his wife to love him without one touch of pity. And yet. I have wanted you so long. have not a host of friends, like some men. I am lonely. Life has been SO empty for me. .lwant . home. where wife is waiting to welcome me-and little children, dear He lifted her hand and kissed it. You would think me foolish fellow if confessed the dreams l have had. I have dreamed of you opening the door of our home, of you coming to meet me with a smile and outstretched arms. l have dreamed of feeling your kiss upon my lips. of holding you close to my heart as do now. l have been dreaming foolish dreams like these," he laughed tremulously, since that night in November. and l have scarcely dared to hope that you even believed in me"
 Dorcas smiled into his eyes. T have always believed in you. l never lost faith in you or in your genius for one moment. And" she paused as if making confession, 'I have loved you for long time. ever since that night, the same night. when you came back and was so happy"
