LONDON VERY MUCH EXCITED
NIGHT PROWLER INVADES BUCK.
INGHAM PALACE.
Says He Just Wanted to Prove He
Could Elude Guards, When
Captured.

London, June 9.-The discovery and
arrest of stranger within the royal
palace during the early hours OF Sun
day morning has set all London agog
with excitement and alarm.
Evading soldiers, servants and po-
lice supposed to guard closely the
royal family, the intruder actually
gained admittance, unobserved, to the
palace. Once inside he wandered for
an hour, even advancing close to the
apartment of Queen Mary.
Were Many Episodes.
While the all-important sensation
of the day, this incident was but one
of many episodes that enlivened the
metropolis over the Sabbath. Militant
suffragettes were active. Catholic
churches were invaded for the first
time and worship interrupted. Public
meetings were held in various parts
of the city. 1t was evident. too. that
the public is about exasperated with
the miltants, for on several occasions
they owe their deliverance from in.
famed mobs to quick action by the
police. Whether the intruder Of the
royal palace had any connection with
the militants Is not known.
1t was in the servants quarters that
the intruder was finally detected and
overpowered. He gave his name as
Henry Pike, declared his profession
to be that of an engineer and advanc-
ed the reason for his extraordinary
and thrilling adventure to be simply
to prove that entrance could easily
be effected.
Wandered AimIessiy.
In the early hours Of morning Pike
entered the palace. He scaled the
wall and wandered through the CORR.
doris for some time. He claims to have
possessed not the slightest knowledge
of the interior of the palace. All Of
this too, Notwithstanding the heavy
guard of soldiers and police supposed
to patrol the grounds closely.
Through basement window on the
north side of the building wherein is
located the apartment of Her Royal
Highness, Queen Mary, Pike made his
entrance. He visited many rooms.
mostly vacant. In one he discovered
some clothing, found to be that of one
of the male servants, which he ex-
changed for his own torn and dirty
garments from scaling the wall, crawl
ing along the driveway to reach the
building and in getting through the
window

This is the only offense provable

A Stirring Story of the
MEXICAN Revolution

few congenial spirits here TO help US
spend our money. Talk about a COM
pany town. I'll bet you their barroom
Is full of Americans. There's the COR
raj down below-let's ride by and
leave our horses and see what's the
price of drinks. They can't feeze me,
whatever 1t is-we doubled our money
at the line"
Financially considered, they had
lone just that-for, for every Ameri-
can dollar in their pockets they could
get two that were just as good, ex-
cept for the picture on the side. This
In itself was a great inducement for a
ready spender and, finding good COM
pany at the Fortuna hotel bar, Phil
bought five dollars worth of drinks,
threw down a f~ve-dollar bill, and got
back five do1lars-Mex.
The proprietor. a large and jovial
boniface, pulled off his fiscal miracle
with the greatest good humor and
then, having invited them to partake
of a very exquisite mixture Of his own
invention, propped himself upon his
elbows across the bar and inquired
with an ingenious smile:
We'll, which away are you boys
travelling, If l may ask?"
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1914-07-10

"Oh, down below a ways" answered
De Lancey, who always constituted
himself the board of strategy. Just
rambling around a little-how's the
country around here now?"
ooh, quiet, quiet!" assured their
host. these Mexicans don't like the
cold weather much-they would freeze
you know, IL it was not for that zarape
which they wind about them sol"
He made a motion as of a native
wrapping his entire wardrobe about
his neck and smiled, and De Lancey
knew that he was no Mexican. And
yet hat soft which away" of his be-
trayed a Spanish tongue.
"Ah, excuse me-" he said, taking
quick advantage of his guess, but
from the way you pronounce that word
'zarape' | take it that you speak Span
ish."
mo one better" replied the host,
smiling pleasantly at being taken at
his true worth, "since l was BORN In
the city of Burgos, where they speak
the true Castilian. 1t is a different
language, believe me, from this bas-
tard Mexican tongue. And do you
speak Spanish also?" he inquired,
falling back into the staccato of Cas-
tile.
mo indeed!" protested De Lancey in
a very creditable imitation; nothing
but a little Mexican, to get along with
the natives. My friend and l are min
ing men, passing through the country,
and we speak the best we can. How
is this district here for work along our
liner"
None betterl" cried the Spaniard,
shaking his finger emphaticalIy. 1T
is Of the best, and, believe me, my
friend, we should be glad to have you
stop with us. The country down be-
low Is a little dangerous-not now.
perhaps, but later, when the warm
weather comes On.
But in Fortuna-noi Here we are
on the railroad; the camp Is controlled
by Americans; and because SO many
have left the country the Mexicans
will sell their prospects cheap.
Then again, II you develop a mine
near by, it will be very easy to sell 1t
and if you wish to work it, that is
easy, too. / am only the proprietor of
the hotel, but IL you can use my poor
services in any way l shall be very
happy to please you. A room? One
of the bestl And If you stay a week
or more l will give you the lowest
rate"
They passed up the winding stairs
and down a long. corridor, at the end
of which the proprietor showed them
into a room, throwing open the outer
doors and shutters to let them see the
view from the window.
Here is a little balcony" he said,
stepping outside, where you can sit
and look down on the plaza. We have

is fine, and you can watch the pretty

gave Phil a roguish dig.
"Bien, my frien'. I I'M glad to meet

turn. MY name." he continued, "is
Juan de Dios Brachamonte y Escalon;
but with these Americans that does
not go, as you say, SO IN general they
call me Don Juan.
There is something about that
Rame--I do not know-that makes the
college boys laugh. Perhaps 1t is that
poet, Byron, who wrote SO scandalous-
ly about US Spaniards, but certainly
he knew nothing of our language, for
he rhymes Don Juan with new one and
true onei' Still, I read part of that
poem and it is, In places, very interest
ing-yes, very interesting-but Don
Joo-an!' Hahi"
He threw up his hand in despair and
De Lancey broke into a jollying laugh.
We'll, Don Juan" he cried, Pm glad
to meet you. My name is Philip De
Lancey and my ~pardner here is Mr..
Hooker. Shake hands with him, Don
Juan de Dios! But certainly a man SO
devoutly named could never descend
to reading much of Don Joo-an!"
"Ah, no." protested Don Juan, roll
ing his dark eyes and smiling rakishly,
mot moch-only the most interesting
passagesi"
He saluted and disappeared in a roar
of laughter, and De Lancey turned
triumphantly on his companion, a self
satisfied smile upon his lips.
"Aha!" he said: you see? That's
what five dollars worth of booze will
do In opening up the way. Here's our
old friend Don Juan willing, nay, anx-
ious, to help us all he can-he sees I'm
a live wire and wants to keep me
around. Pretty soon we'll get him
feeling good and he'll tell us all he
knows. Don't you try to make
me sign the pledge again, brother
a few shots just gets my intellect
to working right and I'm crafty as
a fox.
did you notice that coup I made
asking him If he was a S~paniard?
There's nothing in the world makes a
| Spaniard SO mad as to take him for a
Mexican-on the other hand, nothing
makes him your friend for life like
recognizing him for a blue-blooded
Castilian. Now maybe u old friend
Don Juan has got a few drops of Moor

and improvised-

NO." agreed Bud. feeling cautiously
of the walls, land jest because you're
happy is no reason for singing SO
loud, neither. These here partitions
are made of inch boards, covered with

considering who's probably listening.
1t strikes me that Mr.. Brachamonte is
the real thing In Spanish gentleman;

But De Lancey, made suddenly
aware of his i~ndiscretion. was making
all kinds of exaggerated signs for ST.
lence, and Bud stopped with a slow.
good-natured smile.
"S-s-sti" Kissed De Lancey, touching
his finger to his lips; don't say it,

"All right" agreed Bud; ''and don't
