footed Mexicans loafed Idly. their brown hands lazily supporting old fashioned Springfield rifles, such as she recalled the soldiers of Uncle Sam to have carried in the old days.
 From where she watched she sud. denly noticed a stir among the men. From the interior of the shack step. ped a gaudily dressed little Mexican evidently an officer from the awkward salutes accorded him by the tatterde. nations gathered before the house. For some reason she could not ann. iyze. Lucille listened eagerly. her breath coming in quick. eager gasps .as she overheard their daring plot to cross the river and stampede the cor ral of an American ranchman. A lit. tie cry of delight came from her lips e she heard their aIlusions to the United States cavalry they must sift through before hoping for success.
 Her eyes were glittering with ex. catement when she stole cautiously to the adobe shack. peering inside slowly and carefully before entering. She knew all their plans. and her blood was boiling; but she also knew from what they had said that they. too. would be on the lookout for any upset to the well laid plot
 From chest in the corner. which she hurriedly overhauled she drew a similar suit to the one the little lead. CT had worn. It would just about fit her, and she must take no chances of trying to cross the Rio Grande attired as she was.
 Swiftly she changed, for every mo- ment now was precious to others as well as to herself. Daughter of Gen. 'eral Sumpter Love, she was afire with rage at the way the Mexicans had spoken of the border patrol of her country, the presumption of the plan she had heard outlined The gaudy costume fitted her beautifully, and the broad straw sombrero, with its weight of silver cording and tassels, made 1t easy for her feminine features to be unrecognizabIe even as 1t concealed her long hair.
 She was well pleased with herself when again she mounted her horse The beast had been ready to drop in his tracks any moment. and she had killed two birds with one stone while changing her costume. Cautiously to- ward the glittering ribbon of river she rode. her eyes always alert for any sign of the Mexican foraging party.
 The horse hesitated at the bank of the stream, but Lucille boldly urged him forward.
 "Hurrah! We're across!" she said to herself, as. dripping and disheveled. che stood upon the right side of the Rio" Up and down the bank she looked for signs of the border patrol. but none was in sight But in the dis tance she could make out a tiny speck.
 The chances were it was one of the Mexfcans. But something must be done if the ranchman was to be saved from the plot she had overheard. Fiercely she urged her mount toward the speck in the distance until he heart sank as she recognized the man for one of the plotters.
 Hours 1t seemed to her she pursued the sinking figure until it joined with two others. Gradually. after a few miles journeying. great blaze shot high in the air, blaze punctuated by shots and wild cries.
 The three men cruelty dashed their spurs into the sides of their horses.

terday with about two hundred sick
sailors. collected from various war
ships in the North Sea. Some were in
rather bad condition and had to be
carried on stretchers to the waiting
ambulances, but the majority were
able to walk. From one of the con,
valescents a small idea of their life in
the North Sea was gathered He said:
1T is beastly cold out there, but we
don't mind. At times life is a bit
monotonous. but we bear il all nicely.
Some of our vessels had a look
more than once at the German ships
and IL they would only come out we
could settle the whole lot quicker with
our big guns. The Germans do not
touch our big ships. but only the
smaller ones. There are not so many

In Russian Poland, where more

there apparently has been another of
the swift changes which have made
the situation a confused one since the
beginning of the war. The success
with which the Germans succeeded

dfcated by the Berlin announcement,
which has not been contradlcted in

with the hope of additional emolu-
ment in the future should the ap-
pointee make good.
