Acting Secretary Lansing gave the
two ambassadors the substance of
state department dispatches which said
that while the residents of the capital
were in panic last Friday and Satur-
day, fearing the city would be sack ed
ana looted BY forces of zapata and
villa after the Carranza troops with
drew, conditions since then had chang
ed for the better and the capital was
quiet. The ambassadors had received
word from their ministers in Mexico
City dated about the same time that
the dispatches to the state department
were hled, giving very pessimistic
view of the situation as contrasted
with American Consul SilIiman's re-
ports. The British legation wired that
a. circular was being distributed an
nouncing that on the evacuation by the
troops would begin a period of, looting
at certain hours. .. ., . ..r,.-
Acting Secretary Lansing said that
while the department had heard Of
| these circulars, there was nothing to

he was strongly inclined to believe
they were the work of enemies of both
Villa and Zapata. He took, this view
because in response to an inquiry made
| last Friday about rumors of possible
disorder when the Villa troops reached
the capital, General Villa himself Is
sued general orders stating that any

she sat beside the ped IN rear ana
trembling every time a footstep
sounded outside the door. And there
was another reason for her dread. 1t
had been an impulse to take the lad,
an impulse which she had not follow
ed to it's logical conclusion. Perhaps
she had merely wanted to give him
some bread and milk and to show him
a little of that mother love that he
had never known. But now-what
would Michael say?
He loved his children and he had
always been kind to her, but-wen,
another mouth to feed meant a
dreadful tax upon their scanty means.
And he was out of work, might be for
weeks to come, although he had re-
ceived a half-promise of something in
the near future.
She sat there in an agony of sus-
pense until she heard her husbands
tread along the hall outside. In an
other moment he was in the little
tenement, and, as she went out to
meet him, he clasped her in his arms
and kissed her. She looked at him
with pride. What a good husband she
had! He never drank or beat her, even
if he was little petulant at times.
And he had been so patient all
through that dreary time.
Mora, girl" he exclaimed, 1--WE
got job and go to work the day
after tomorrow. And it's in the coun-
try, lass! It's in the new Richardson
plant, twenty miles away a steady
job, my girl, and all expenses paid.
And we move tomorrow"
He saw strange look on her face.
She was trembling.

scieus of some dreadful fear.
She told him. And then she led him
into the bedroom and showed him

That afternoon Mrs. Grady came to
the door of her tenement.
Its all right, Mrs. Flaherty," she
said. Somebody's written to the
Children's Society, and they're going
to take the child away. The mans
been put in prison for stabbing anoth-
er of thin Poles whin he was drunk.
The society will be here in the even
ing"
Nora's heart misgave her. Some
how the thought of the little, dark
eyed boy growing up inside the
shadow of the society's big, barrack-
like building was dreadful to contem-
plate. She thought of her own babies,
and she sat in her chair, picture of
helpless woe.
Suddenly burning thought came
to to her that made her sit up and
stare wildly about her Why not?
Why not? In another minute she
had crept down to the basement
again to where the boy was lying. At
the sight of her he sat up and stretch
ed out his thin little hands
She lifted him in her arms and hid
him beneath her sawl. How pitifully
light he was! He did not understand
her words of motherly kindness, but
the tone is the same in all languages.
He snuggled down in her arms, and a
couple of minutes later he was nest
ling upon her own bed, while the four
children stood around, staring at the
little stranger.
Ten minutes later, when the boy
was asleep, Mrs. Grady came to the
door.
Mrs. F1aherty!" she gasped,- "the
man has come from the society, and
what do yez think? One of that Po-
lacks friends has been and taken the
child away"
Nora Flaherty looked at her friend
with stare of misunderstanding.
