thought, such a life, in spite Of some
slight disadvantages. was pretty near
ly ideal"
Far were our thoughts from danger
Guess, then. our surprise when, COM
ing around the last curve In deep cut,
we were suddenly confronted by
huge locomotive drawing two cars OF
horses and coming like whirlwind.
She looked as big as barn to us. A
sheer wall of rock on each side, 80
foot trestle a few yards back of US
apparently no chance of getting out.
And a case of dynamite aboard!
We held our breath as Stanley ap
piled the brake. Our first thought was
to lump. Then common sense told us
that to do so would be fatal-not only
to ourselves, but to the train and crew
as we'll.
There wasn't near time enough to
reverse the motion Of the car and run
back until the engineer could stop the
onrushing train, and we did not fancy
being hurled off the high trestle with
the probability of the whole train
crashing down on top Of US.
We glanced at each other in dismay.
The cold sweat tric.-led down my
back. We heard the locomotive whis'
tie frantically, then saw the engineer
dodge down low in his cab.
My heart beat furious With one
accord we were about to abandon the
car and run toward the train when
Stanley, white as sheet, but calm and
with great presence OF mind, almost
screamed the order: Pick up the
carr, boys!"
1t seemed useless, but we had great
faith in our young boss. Being in the
habit of obeying orders, we did pick up
the car, and at signal from him
placed it on edge against the rock
bank, Stanley meantime grabbing the
explosive.
We were just about in time, too, for
as the locomotive whizzed by, some
thing caught my overalls, ripping
them from tn waist to the knee. It
was a very close call.
Stanley gazed after the disappearing
train and watched it out Of sight. Then
he flshed out ais dinky little pipe
leaned up against the rocks, and filled
and lit 1t.
II guess, by jinks." said he, I'VE
ought to take a run down to St
Charles and recuperate our exhausted
nerves." Stanley was great on speeches
"Hang it, you fellows look scared tc
death. Besides, l want to write let
ter to Mamie"
So we took a holiday and rambled
down to st. Charles. When our checks
came on pay day I can't say as l no
ticed any "lay-on" recorded, either.

EXPECT CONFERENCE TO

President Wilson believes that

plan for the complete restora-
ton Of peace and Secretary Bry-
an does not believe that the adj
ditional American life lost this

believes that Silliman is safe,
but the consul's friends are not
so hopeful.
Huerta's mediation commits
sioners are due here late today
and will depart late tonight for
Niagara Falls.
1t is understood that the Amer
lean commissioners are directed
to make it clear that while this
government accepted the princi-
pies of mediation it must insist
that Huerta be eliminated. The
manner of his elimination is left
to the mediators, but the Unit

Who Had Escaped From Moncl0-

United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
Paredon, Coahuila, Via Tore
on, May 16.-Surprised by the
Constitutionalist scouts five
hundred Federals, who escaped
from Monclava, were captured
late yesterday afternoon. Other
Federal forces were cornered in
the sand hills north of here and
it is reported that a desperate
struggle is in progress
The messages brought here
state that fifty fleeing Federals
were killed when they stumbled
into a camp of the Constitution
alists.
The rear guard of General Vii
las army was marched south to-
day to join him in an attack
upon the city of Saltillo, but was
turned north to reinforce the
scouts cut off by the retreat
of the Monclova Federals in
attempting to reach Saltillo. A
large cavalry force is harrass-
ing the retreating Federals.
The sudden fall of Monclova
was a surprise though General
Villa ordered the attack several
days ago.
The Federals were supposed
to be prepared for a long siege,
but evacuated yesterday, leav-
ing nearly two hundred dead.
Word received here states that
the rebels lost only fifty.
A general assault upon Saltil-
10 may be ordered before mid
night by Villa, although it is be-
lieved that the rebel forces will
not attack the city before Sun
day night.

AIUXPAM FALLS
: BEFORE REBELS
Silliman's Failure To Reach Cap
itai Due To Tearing Up OF
Railroad Track.
4 United Press Dispatch.

Washington, d. c., May 10
TTuxpam fell into the hands of the
rebels Thursday according to in
formation from Spanish refugees
given to Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz. They said Generals Agui-
la and Blanco, led the rebels.
Consul Silliman was due to ar
{ rive at Mexico City last night or
this morning according to infor-
nation from the Brazilian min
lister there. The delay is proba-
bly, due to tearing up the rail
road tracks between Saltillo and
I the capital.
The State Department made it
clear that the murder of Parks
would not be followed by acts of
reprisal at the present. Al
though the war department is
afiame and Secretary Garrison
has privately declared that
there exists a grave situation
Secretary of State Bryan insists
that it is simply another outrage
for which Huerta is responsible
and like others will be taken up
in the final settlement.
- Secretary Bryan is supported
by President Wilson in this po-
sition that nothing shall be per-
mitted to interfere with media
tion of existing disputes.

: CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE


Chapter Xiv.
After the theater last night we
went over to a very fashionable cafe,
where women and men both go for
something to drink, but where no
food is sold.
1 had never been to the place,
which is one of the rooms in a hotel,
and confess l was a little curious
about it.
The corridors were brilliantly
lighted and were lined with gor-
geously dressed women and, walking
up and down, were men: who apprais-
ed the women with fiirtatious eyes.
There was the blare of ragtime mu-
sic, punctUated here and there by
loud laughter, in both masculine and
feminine keys.
The great room, which was apart
from the restaurant proper, was full.
Groups of men and women were sit
ting about tables, and at other small
er tables could be seen just couple.
All seemed much interested in each
other, and every person in-the room
had a glass OF something to drink be-
fore him or her.
Dick took me to a table for two
and l gazed about on the handsome
ly gowned women with surprise, for
so many of them seemed only girls
of sixteen or seventeen / wondered
if those girls mothers knew where
they were and what they were doing.
who are you bowling and smiling
at, Dick?" 1 asked as l saw him sa-
lutte someone behind me with the
greatest cordially.
Dick frowned and said: cts Kitty
Malram, Margie, and 1 have been
waiting to tell you for long time
that you had better cut her out.
What do you mean by cutting
her out?' l asked
well, I don't want you to be seen

about good deal. She is seen a
good deal at the theater and the
classy restaurants, beautifully
gowned, with Bill Tenney. Bill is a
good fellow, all right, and guess he
is married to an impossible woman.
They are not living together, but she
won't divorce him-neither will she
give him any reason by which he can
get divorce. He seems to be gone
on Kitty, and she has reached that
point where she has thrown the
speech of people to the Winds
THAT probably explains why Kitty
called me up this morning and asked
me to sit in her box at the Grand
Opera on Wednesdays during the
season. l thought it was queer that
she had money enough to have an
opera box for all the Grand Opera
matinees.'
"She's got her nerve" exclaimed
Dick "Of course, she would like to
have you add responsibility to her
game"
do you think she has passed the
bounds of respectabiity-and is she
playing a gamer" L asked.
81 don't know and l don't care"
answered Dick roughly. 81 only know
she has been making herself very
conspicuous, and I'm not going to
have you brought into the mess"
While / was not sure that would
not do just as Dick had commanded,
l resented the idea that could not
judge for myself, and 1 mentally de-
cided that l would wait until knew
more about poor Kitty and her af-
fairs before 1 cut her off my list of
acquaintance. Consequently 1 walk
ed past her table and spoke a few
words to her as we went out. Dick
was furious and hardly spoke to me
all the way home.
Kitty said she was coming over
