ing. showed that he had noted Van
Vechten's more than casual regard, by
a vindictive look from a pair of steely
gray eyes-a look at once so keen and
%truculent and challenging that its re-
cipient was for the moment dunn
founded.
However, Van Vechten's puzzlement
over this strange bit of byplay, his en-
crossing admiration of the girls
beauty, was broken rudely in upon by
a sudden confused movement of the
crowd. With changing bell and a
noisy clatter of i~ron-shod hoofs upon
the asphalt, a police ambulance drew
up at the alley. Phinney and Van Vech.
ten were jostled with the others, and
the latter's attention was distracted
from the girl and the sandy-haired man.
He watched a second officer and the
young surgeon leap nimbly down; the
first to join his comrade in holding
the crowd in check, the other to rem
der such aid to the stricken man as
any faint indication of life might call
for. The motionless figure, however,
was beyond the reach of any surgeons
skill; 1t required but a cursory inspec.
ton to determine this.
Van Vechten saw, hazily, the young
physician indicate the mark on the
mans temple, and lay the tip of a fore
finger upon another spot behind the
left ear, the while he talked In under.
tones to the two policemen. Then the
crowd quieted, and he had an oppor.
tunity to look at the girl again.
1t was with something of a shock
that he realized she was no longer con
fronting him. His glance flew quickly
hither and thither-even hoping for
the sandy-haired man, as a sort OF
clue-but she was nowhere to be seen.
Both had vanished.
The ambulance was now departing
with its silent burden. the crowd was
dissolving or breaking up into little
groups To discuss the tragedy, and the
two friends were walking at a leisure.

the dead man, and intent only upon
catching her eye. And then the mag
netism OF his look had its effect; her
eyes were drawn to his, and she came
to herself with a start. A tinge of color
appeared In her cheeks; but Van Vech-
ten observed hat the terror and de-
spair still fingered In her eyes.
Van Vechten turned his attention
to the man with something like resent
ment stirring in his bosom, for the fell
lows manner suggested a proprietary
relationship toward the girl, which, for
a reason he did not attempt just then
to explain, made him angry. AS far
as attire went, the man was present
able enough; but Van Vechten was not
favorably prepossessed by the sullen,
battered countenance, the coarse,
sandy hair, nor the big, loose-jointed,
powerful body.
Then the ca~utioning glance was of a
sudden accounted for; the man, salts
fed that the girl had caught his mean

WILSON GIVES HIS VIEWS

Following Is the official statement Is
sued as representing the views OF
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
in discussions in official circles In
Washington Of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
1T has been pointed out that, In
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation in Mexico, the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought Of alone. For some time
past the de facto government of Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights of
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made DO attempt at either reparation
or the effective correction Of the seri-
Gus derelictions Of its civil and mill
tary officers.
Orderly Placed In JAIL.
Immediately after the incident at
Tampico an orderly from one of the
ships of the United States in the har-
Dor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent
ashore to the post office for the ships
mail, and who was in uniform and
who had the official mail bag on his
back, was arrested and put into Jail
by the local authorities. He was SUBJ
sequently released and a nominal pun
ishment was inflicted upon the officer
who arrested him, but 1t was signih-
a that an orderly from the fieet OF
the United States was picked out
from the many persons constantly go
ing shore on various errands, from
the various ships in the harbor, rep
resenting several nations.
Official Dispatch Withheld.
Most serious of all, the officials In
charge Of the telegraph office at Mex.
leo City presumed to withhold an off,
cial dispatch of the government of the
United States to its embassy at Mex
leo City, until 1t should have been
sent to the censor and his permission
received to deliver 1t, and gave the
dispatch into the hands of the charge
d'affaires Of the United States only
upon his personal and emphatic de-
mand, he having in the meantime
learned through other channels that
a dispatch had been sent him which
he had not received.
United States Singled Out.
1T cannot but strike anyone who
has watched the course Of events in
Mexico as significant hat untoward
incidents such as these have not oc-
Cured in any case where representa-
tives of other governments were con-
cerned, but only In dealings with rep.
resentatives of the United States, and
that there has been no occasion for
other governments to call attention to-
such matters or to ask for apologies.
These repeated offenses against
the rights and dignity of the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives of other
governments. have necessarily made
the impression that the government
of the United States was singled out
for manifestations Of Ill will and con-
tempt"

Twelve, they afterwards called him,
associating him with the hour. He was
painting and considerably disheveled,
though otherwise he appeared to be
none the worse for the struggle.
However, there was no mistaking
the fact that he was exceedingly

The answer was uttered softly.
"Tom, whatever reasons | may have

on a part of the reason for his friends
reticence. 1T is the yelled lady in the
taxi; you think you are on the scent
of an adventure. Rats! No adventure
there. She was a lady, l can tell you
that"
The other gave him a sharp glance,
as If estimating the degree of his per-
~spicacity. How much could Tom tell?
"Tom"-after a moment, 'if you
must falkland | know your limita-
lions al compared with your inten-
tions-promise me that you will not
mention the lady in the taxi-to any,

Van Vechten's manner was so DELHI

with a questioning stare.

thing"
He knew that one phase of the morn
ing's happenings would not be too
much for Tom to keep to himself, and
for some unexplained reason Van
Vechten wanted it to be the mysteri-
Gus lady of the taxi-cab.
AS they were turning into the Pow
hatan's granite archway, Van Vech-
ten bent an inquisitive glance toward
Number 1913. His curiosity was now
UNNECESSARILY augmented by a fresh
interest. And he received another
shock-one that fairly staggered him.
For the first time in all the months
that he had surveyed the silent facade,
he caught a movement at one of the
blinds. 1t was drawn aside, and he
was afforded a momentary glimpse of
a girls face-the face Of the girl in
the crowd.
But it was not this circumstance
alone that stirred him. She was gaz-
ing directly at him with a look that
was both bitterly scornful and accus-
ing. In this new mien the face was
even more beautiful than he had dared
hope for. But why should she be with
ering him with a look of contemptu-
Gus disdain and rebuke? He had never
in all his life seen her face before this
day.
He was actually stung to an involun,
tary expression of protest.
