He left the grinning yokel in the
road and started back as hard as he
could go.
At the top of the hill he found the
pony grazing. the buggy behind it,
empty. Beside the road Miss Mar
chant was seated. looking about her
In a dazed manner. There was mud
on her dress. Thornley, hurried up to
her. He aided her to her feet
Now you must let me see you home
at once" he said, and, taking her un-
resisting arm in his hand he placed
| the other hand upon the pony's bride.
and the party proceeded homeward.
All the way Thornley, caught Miss
Marchant watching him in the same
singular manner.
MIR. Beach was profuse In his apollo
gies. He would never have let Miss
Marchant have the pony II he had
known 1t was going to act in that
manner. Thornley, cut him short.
Have Mrs. Beach help Miss Mar
chant to her ROOM he said Then I
want to talk to YOU"
When they were alone he broke out
angrily:
What do you mean by letting that
poor, afflicted young lady go out driv-
ing alone?"
Old Mr.. Beach stared at him. AZ

than you are" he answered
But you take cases of mental break
down." cried Thornley,.
Only one year. said Mr.. Beach
grimly. Year after you left. had
enough Of them. Now I'm trying to
build up regular business again. But
it's hard. When once a man has ia
ken mentals all his guests are sup
posed to be mentals. She thinks you're
one"
What" cried Thornley,. why
didn't you tell her? That accounts for
the way she has been treating me-"
What's the user asked Mr. Beach.
She wouldn't have believed me- Once
man takes mentals. everybody sus-
poets all his guests are mentals.
They'll be calling me mental soon.
l hoped you'd find each other out, but
II Id tried to speak 1t would only
have made things worse than what
they were"
Thornley's anger soon passed. From
his point Of view the old man was
right. II he had explained to each of
his guests that the other was not
mental" would thay have believed
him?
He chafed and fumed the rest Of the
day. because Miss Marchant did not
appear. But when. on the next morn
ing, they met in the pleasant grounds.
there was a smile ON her lips
Mrs. Beach has told me all, Mr..
Thornley," she said 'IKow you must
have hated me. Can you forgive me?"
Thornley, looked at her. Something
In his glance sent the blood into her
cheeks.
"On condition that yos,-stay a long
time." he stammered
And, long before their holiday had
elapsed, it was recognized that Mr..
Beach had a new kind OF mental case
In his house. which could only be
cured-as this ono was-by a long
white veil and orange blossoms.

rose rather stifiy to his feet.
"Will you permit me to drive you
back?' he asked Il understand lit

He saw Miss Marchant's eyes widen
In either CONSERVATION or terror.

into the buggy.
Thornley, was not used to being
treated with contempt, and his stub

Miss Marchant screamed and
slashed the pony across the flank. 1t

rolled In the dust. to see, when he
rose to his feet again, Miss Marchant

A grinning oountryman came by and
stopped to stare at Thornley,, who, in
no good humor, asked him what he
was looking at.

asked the fellow, still grinning.

Washington, July 20--Consul Gen

missioners being sent to the front by
Provisional President Carbajal to ar
| range for the transfer of government
at Mexico City.
General Carranza, consuls reported,
had agreed to suspend hostilities
pending negotiations with Carbajars
commissioners.
Secretary Bryan was confident a
peaceful agreement would be reached
soon between Carbajal and General
Carranza for the transfer. Mr.. Bryan
conferred with Jose CASTILLO, the per-
sonal representative of Provisional
President Carbajal.
The latter brought official word Of
the restoration of constitutional guar
antees and the evacuation of San Luis
Potosi by the federaIs. Mr.. CASTILLO
was inclined to attach little import
ance to the last note from the consti-
tutinalists' agency here to the South
American mediators, expressing an
unwillingness to discuss terms of
peace not only with representatives
of General Huerta, but those of any
government derived from the dicta-
tors regime.
After Mr.. Castillo left the state de-
partment Minister Saurez of Chile
discussed Mexico with Mr.. Bryan. He
came primarily, however, to bring
draft of a peace treaty between the
United States and Chile.

DEPORTATION
SEVERAL HUNDRED FoRTIFY A
VESSEL AGAINST ATTACK
OF BRITISHERS

Vancouver, B. c., July 20.-A night
marked by ceaseless watching on the
part of the immigration officials in
their patrol tugs and launches passed
peacefully in the vicinity OF the
steamer Komagata Maru, aboard
which several hundred Hindus are re-
sisting deportation.
Having repulsed the police early
Sunday morning the Hindus have
spent the time since in erecting for
tifications on board the ship, carrying
up chunks of coal for immediate use
as missiles, and generally making
ready for another attack
1t is now proposed, in order to en-
sure that the next step against the
Hindus may be certain of success, to
bring the government cruiser Rain
Dow from Victoria, and with regular
troops from Esquimault and other
men of the permanent forces assisted
probably by the. local police, to pro-
vide such an overwhelming force that
the Hindus will be overpowered.
Part of new crew for the Rain
bow, consisting of British tars sent
from Devonport, England, and a con-
tingent from the cruiser Niobe, are
due to arrive here tonight.
The general plan is to- go alongside
with the cruiser, which will afford an
efficient fighting base, and to put into
the Hindu ship so many men that
resistance cannot last more than a
few minutes.
