5000 American refugees are expected in
Galveston tomorrow night Many are
from Vera Cruz. but most Of them are
from Tampico. where the entire Ameri-
can oil field has been abandoned The
battleship Connecticut is due In the
morning with women and children from
Tampico and some married men. The
American collier Cyclops arrived late to-
day with 316 men. The Cyclops has vir-
tuaily no cabin accommodations, the men
sleeping on mattresses and on deck with
rope for pillows. The cyclops was there
fore loaded with bachelors first" or
with men whose wives and families al

Trinidadian were given the cabins and
available shelter.
Refugees Are Hungry.
All refugees are compelled by the
present quarantine regulations to be
six days out of port before they may
land here. This means two to four
days on shipboard after arrival When
the quarantine boat approached the
Trinidadian tonight some men shouted:
go back and bring US something to
seat: We are hungry enough to eat
anything"
The refugee vessels here and some still
at sea had such short notice that 1t was
impossible to get aboard suff1cfent food
supplies. The Trinidadian sailed without
even clearance papers. Food was hurried
to the ships after they arrived here but
some refugees went hungry for hours,
because of dificulties in Transporting
them several miles out into the harbor
where ships must anchor during quaran-
tine.
Late tonight the Esperanza arrived
from Vera Cruz with about $50 Ameri-
cans aboard.

Church-Going a Habit.

Sunday morning sees quite transfor-
nation. The debaucheries of the night
before give place to the church-going
spirit. Those denizens of the underworld
throng the city churches from daybreak
until noon. If you want to see the slum-
dwellers, do a round Of the churches.
They never fail to attend. and even to
deposit their coppers at the doors as they
enter. They kneel at the back. on the
cold stone floors. telling their rosaries in
words of genuine contrition. all the while
with bent shoulders. They flock to church
and go through the forms of devotion
which are ascr1bed. This is a habit
with them.
They are kindly people withal. They
have genuine sympathy with each others
sorrows, and one of them will go to any
trouble to do the other good turn.
Though a Dublin man might be set upon
In those back streets, a stranger can go
unmolested.
Until Larkin's coming they were con-
tent to drift lower and lower into squalor,
to take things as they were, and never
to gumble. Now tney are reused to a
sense Of their conditions, and they will
take a lot Of beating. They are the stuff
out of which revolutions are made. They
have been pitilessly goaded into open
revolt, and. though they may be beaten,
they cannot be worse than they have
been.

you have all that is in my brain-the

Thank you!" Lanstron half whis-
pered. 1t was all he could think Of
to say.
And you will find that there il
more than you thought, perhaps: the
reason why l have fought hard to re-
main chief of staff; why" Partow
continued in a voice that had the Sc
pulchral uncanniness of threat long
nursed now breaking free of the bond
age of years within the sound-proof
walls. But" he broke off suddenly
as II he distrusted even the security
of the vault. Yes, 1t is all there-my
life's work, my dream, my ambition.
my plant"
Lanstron heard the lock slide in the
door as Partow went out and he was
alone with the army's secrets. AS he
read Partow's firm handwriting, many
parts fell together, many moves on
chessboard grew clear. His breath
came faster, he bent closer over the
table, he turned back pages to go
over them again. Every sentence
dropped home in his mind like bolt
in a socket. Unconscious of the pas
sage of time, he did not heed the door
open or realize Partow's presence un'
til he felt Partow's hand on his shout
der.
Il see that you didn't look into any

canteons. The old sergeant was lying
beside Captain Dellarme on the crest,
the sunrise in their faces. AS the mist
cleared from the plain it revealed the
white dots of the frontier posts in the
meadow and behind them many gray
figures in skirmish order, scarcely Wis.
IDLE except through the glasses.
1T looks like business!" declared
the old sergeant.
"Yes, it begins the minute they
cross the line!" said Dellarme.
His glance sweeping to the rear to
scan the landscape under the light of
day, he recognized, with a sense Of
pride and awe, the tactical Importance
Of his company's position in relation
to that Of the importance Of the other
companies. Easily he made out the
regimental line by streaks of con.
cealed trenches and groups of brown
uniforms; and here and there were
the oblong, cloth stretches of waiting
hospital filters. On the reverse slope
of another knoll was the farmhouse,
marked X on his map as the regimen
tai headquarters, where he was to
watch for the signal to fall back from
his first stand in delaying the enemy's
advance Directly to the rear was the
cut through which the company had
come from the main pass road, and be-
yond that the Galland house, which
was to be the SECOND stand.

tremble with stage fright For Ian
stron's hand was quiyering in Partow's
grasp, while his face was that of a
man stunned.
you are to be at the right hand Of
this old body" continued Partow. You
are to go with me to the front; to
sleep in the room next to mine; to be
always at my side, and finally, you are
to promise that if ever the old body
fails in its duty to the mind, if ever
you see that l am not standing up to
the strain, you are to say so to me and
l give you my word that shall let you
take charge"
Lanstron was too stunned to speak
for a moment. The arrangement
seemed a hideous joke; refinement
of cruelty inconceivable. 1t was ex-
peeting him to tell Atlas that he was
old and to take the weight of the
world off the giants shoulders.
Have you lost your patriotism?"
demanded Partow. Are you afraid ?
afraid to tell me the truth? Afraid
of duty? Afraid in your youth of the
burden that l bear in age?"
His fingers closed in on Lanstron's
with such force that the grip was
painful.
PROMISED" he commanded.
Il promised" Lanstron said with a
throb.
That's it! That's the way! That's
the kind Of soldier like" Partow de-
clared with change of tone, and he
rose from his chair with a spring that
was a delight to Lanstron in its proof
of the physical vigor so stoutly denied.
I'VE have lot to say to each other
today" he added; "but first | am 60
ing to show you the whole bag of
tricks"
His arm crooked In Lanstron's, they
went along the main corridor of the
staff office and entered vault having
single chair and a small table in
the center and lined by sections OF
numbered pigeonholes, each with q
combination lock. At the base of one
section was a small safe. 1t was not
the first time that Lanstron had been
in this vault He had the combination
of two of the sections of pigeonholes
aerostatics and intelligence The rest
belonged to other divisions.
THE safe is my own. as you know
RIO one opens it, no one knows what
is in it but me-" said Partow, taking

thoughtful pause. that a man is
reader to die fighting to hold his own
threshold than fighting to take anoth-
er mans. War is not yet solely an af-
fair Of machinery and numbers. The
human element is still uppermost. Give
me your hand-no, not that one. not
the one you shake hands with-the
one wounded in actionI"
Partow inclosed the stiffened fin
gers In his own with something Of the
caress which an old bear that is in
very good humor might give to a
promising cub.
Il have planned, planned, planned
for this time. The world shall soon
know. as the elements of 1t go into the

when the last charge made against our
trenches is beaten back. Then they
may throw this old body onto the rub

is fat, unwieldly behemoth Of an old
body!"
/, mo, no, it isn't" Lanstron objected
holly. He was seeing only what most
people saw after talking with Partow
for few minutes, his fine, intelligent
eyes and beautiful forehead.
"All that wanted of the body was
to feed my BRAIN" Partow continued
needless of the interruption. Il have
watched my mind as a navigator
watches a barometer. 1 have been
ready at the first sign that 1t was los
ing its grip to give up. Yet l have
felt that my body would go on feeding
my brain and that to the last moment

body collapses, l should have self
possession and energy Of mind. Under

as a cord snaps. At that instant my
