Orders have been telegraphed from
Washington to Major General Murray
at San Francisco to have a sweeping
investigation made Immediately of
the raid into Lower California of

retary of War Garrison receives the
report 1t will be turned over to the
state department and representations
made to the Mexican authorities. In
addition the commander at Fort Rose
Grams has been directed to patrol the
border at this point and endeavor to
locate the bandits, who may still be
in American territory.

Married Life
Fourth Year

Warren had been strolling around
the lobby of the Alpine hotel for
nearly ten minutes, and still there
were no signs of Helen.
81 never knew woman to keep all
appointment yet" he growled. savage
ly, as he pulled out his watch for the
third time in exactly three minutes.
And then Helen hurried in and looked
hastily around the room.
Dear, I'm sorry to be late,' she
apologized, as Warren glared at her,
"but Mrs. Stevens came in Just before
l left and do you know, she and Mr..
Stevens have quarreled!"
! Huh" said Warren, skeptically, as
, they stepped out on Broadway, don't
see how they managed to get along as
! far as they have without some kind
of a fracas. She never did know how
to handle Stevens. NLw, have you any
idea of where you want to go for your
suit? I'm not going to walk up and
down Broadway all afternoon without
some idea in mind!"
ooh, yes, dear, We'll go right to Ard
mans first, and then if we don't see
anything there, we can go somewhere
else afterward."
"Well, this isn't shopping tour
you know" grumbled Warren. Il said
I'd come down and look at suits, but
I didn't promise to raid every store in
New York"
Helen wisely kept still. She knew
that Warren was right, for shopping
for bargains was a besetting sin with
her, and there was no need of starting
an argument before they had looked
at anything.
"Where are the suits?" said Warner
as they entered the elevator. Ladies
SUITS" added Helen, timidly.
IN THE SUIT DEPARTMENT.

they were walking through the sui
department.
Something in suits, madam Ant

, to them, modishly attired in blacl
charmeuse. For yourself? Right thi
r way. Hay you anything in particula
in mind?"
"Why, no, I hadn't decided on any
thing, but I thought I'd like to tr
something in gray"
: "Now," put in Warren, "you know
gray has never been becoming to you
+. you haven't color enough to wear il
Why not stick to blue? I always sal
I you looked better in that than in any
thing else you ever tried to wear"
ooh! but dear, I had blue sui
! Just last spring, and just bought tina
blue dress when Louise was married
y l don't want too many blue things, an
l. gray is so lovely for traveling"
"Well, have your own way. I don

Helen sighed, and then the saleslad
p came back with several suits fun
over her arm.
How would you like something lik
