And on the way over to the landing, and up to the Claremont, whose garage supplied them with an automobile, she uttered no word and remained indif- ferent to her surroundings.
 When he had seen them in the car, Della offered him a hand.
 q suppose the launch will come for us?' she said with a sober little smile.
 If you don't mind. I'll meet you here-any time you say" returned Tom. q want to run down to my club and look up a friend, then I'll be free"
 Della glanced doubtfully at Jessie Willard. We might take you as far as Central park" she proposed.
 Thank you-if I'll not be in the way"
 And the long ride downward was made in silence, save for an occasional remark from Della, to which Tom could find only the most perfunctory of responses. Jessie Willards secret distress sat heavily upon them all. As eagerly disposed as Tom was to be in Delia's company. yet it was with a sense of relief that he separated from the two girls. after agreeing to reioin them at the Claremont at noon.
 Thirty minutes later he was at the Powhatan, learning with incredulous surprise that Van Vechten had not been there since last Tuesday He promptly called up the Kenmore and got Barnicle on the wire. His mysti- hcation deepened at the bald informa- ton that 'Mr. Rudolph was out of the city"
 "Out of the cityl" Tom bawled into the mouthpiece. What the devil do you mean? Where out of the city?" But Barnicle had hung up "Oh. we'll" he reflected by and by 'he's learned something about Miss [ Carew and is on to see about it I'll ' just knock around town a while, then catch a Central train and go back. It's perhaps just as well that he don't see me-"

 The young mans uncle, Mir Theo- dore Van Vechten-for whom Barnicle entertained sentiments only of the highest esteem and respect-had been particularly insistent for definite in- formation concerning his nephew. even Co the extreme of threatening to come up and wiring Barnicle's neck; which had a further depressing effect upon the excellent valet's spirits
 Then an aggravating person giving the name Of Flint, seemed to know un- cannily that Barnicle was lying
 MT. Rudolph had spared no pains to keep his damaged condition from the eyes of the world.
 A light tap upon the outer door broke sharply in upon Barnicle's trou- bled reflections. He cooked an ear in that direction, and glanced uneasily at the sleeper. who had not stirred. The tap was repeated.
 Barnicle was puzzled; he knew it was no .hotel employees announcement with all of which he had reason to be familiar-and setting aside this explanation, there remained only one other way by which to account for the tapping - somebody had slipped through the office, with its guardian cordon of clerks porters and bell-hops and come directly to Van Vechten' 's rooms. Such a proceeding bore a sin. ister import to Barnicle's mind.
 For a third time the tap sounded And then Barnicle stole into the recep. tion-hall, with the determination oi sending the presumptuOus caller about his business With this purpose in mind, he did not bother to close the liying-room doOC behind him, anC opened the outer door barely an inch or two-at first.
 Next instant out of sheer amazement he pulled it wide open.
 He was confronted by the vision oi a beautiful, stylishly gowned young lady. That she really was lady in every sense Of the word, Barnicle could not for an instant doubt. No one could have doubted.
 Excepting on the very rare occasions when his employer entertained a few choice friends in his rooms, ladies were not in the habit of visiting them | so 1t is no wonder that he was dunn | founded. With one eye eXpectant fol the young lady's card. and the other taking stock of her loveliness, he be gan to assure her that MT. Van Vech ten was out of the city.
 The tone in which she interrupted the flash of her eyes that accompanied the words, made his mouth close like ( trap.

CHAPTER VII.
The Face Appears Again.


 Since late Tuesday night Rudolph Van Vechten's apartments in the Ken more had reeked with iodoform, and in various other ways their presentment was not dissimilar to a hospital ward
 The one jarring note was Barnicle. whose cadaverousness was become SO accentuated that he might have per sonifed Death--or, at least, the un- dertaker-waiting only until doctor and nurse were through, to perform his own peculiar and melancholy of fees. Barnicle never would have been tolerated about a hospital
 Early Thursday morning Van Vech- ten had insisted to such good purpose that he was able to rise, don his clothes and be shaved. that at eight o'clock he was reclining upon the day enport in his living-room, and the nurse was out taking a much needed airing Such portions Of his bandaged features as were visible were discol- ored. and a cloth saturated with some soothing lotion hid his swollen eyes.
 All the hideOus details of the cpl sode fin the Silent House remained in his memory Ike the aftermath of a terrifying nightmare. How. late at night, his senses had returned to him; how he had contrived to drag his bat tered body down the stairs, fainting more than once with pain and weak ness; how he had been found upon the walk by a passing policeman. who, recognizing him, was persuaded to keep his mouth shut and convey him to his rooms-eaeh revolting particu- lar stuck consistently in his mind.
 By which 1t might be inferred that not the least of his present suffering might be ascrlbed to nervous shock At the hour mentioned, ~ he was sleeping ftfully after a restless night He frequently started broad awake when memory invaded his slumhsrs. During the period since Tuesday Barnicle had continued in a state of perturbation; for he had been strictly

 General Carranza, at Chihuahua, was kept fully informed of the orders to the fleet and the attitude of Washington but no statement of the position he would as- sume should the Americans take Tampico and Vera Cruz was forthcoming.
 Among officials the word went round not to comment OH the situation, but it was learned from the lips of one of Car ranza's closest advisers that Carranza views the whole situation as one of the greatest gravity to Mexico as a whole.

REIMBURSEMENT OF PASSENGER RATES

New Tariffs Indicate Mate- rial Fare Reductions, Par ticularly from Import
 ant Terminals

Washington, April 15.-Readjustment of passenger rates on all interstate railroads in the United States, in conformity with the long and short hault provision of the law. under orders of the interstate com merce commission, will become effective May 1. The new tariffs filed by the roads with the commission indicate material fare reduction, particularly from impor- tant terminals, and rate passing points 70 intermediate points,
 Officials of the commission. after an analysis of the tariffs estimate that ''95 per cent of the changes in fares will be reductions" and per cent increases. In such advances as are made the increases are where traffic to intermediate points is so great as to affect seriously the rev enues of the roads.
 Soon after the enactment of the long and short haul provision the commission ordered the carriers to re-adjust their Las- senger fares. but postponed the effective date of its order pending supreme court decision in the Minnesota rate case and other cases involving the right of states to fix rates Later the supreme court upheld the authorlty or states 10 make rates and the commission directed the roads to readjust their passenger fares by May 1.
 The commission has no means of deter mining accurately to what extent compli- ance with the orders will affect revenues, because that will depend largely on the volume of traffic, which is variable While some rates on long hauls will be increased, fares on the shorter hauls to ;pta fota xxytll ha radt mi L. terially In a great majority of instances. It is provided that no interstate fares may exceed the sum of the local rates, and in the making up of interstate fares the rates fixed by authorities of states must be observed.

All information. official and other wise, that reached Washington from Mexico City tended to show that Gen. United States was in earnest and thought the Washington government was bluffing. Some anti-American dem- onstrations at Vera Cruz and other points were reported.
 DETERMINED POLICY
 AT LAST ADOPTED
 Developments here today showed clearly that determined and forceful policy had been adopted by the Presi- dent, which would be backed up by Congress and enforced, If necessary, by the army and navy.
 While expressing earnest hope for peace, the President unequivocally told members of the Senate and House committees on foreign affairs that the offenses of the de facto government at Mexico City could no longer be tolerated. and that unless Huerta complied with the American de- mands, seizure of the custom houses at Tampico and Vera Cruz and even the declaration of Pacific blocade, shutting off commercial intercourse with the United States, would be fully justified by prece- dents in international law.
 It was established that no aggressive act such as the landing of marines or the shelling of any towns or the seizure of any ports would be undertaken without au- thorization from Congress after President Wilson had personally delivered mes- sage on the subject.
 The nearly unanimous approval that re- publicans and democrats alike gave inc administration's initial steps made it ap= parent, however, that should Rear Ad- miral Badger find 1t necessary. Congress would back up the American navy with out hesitation.
 After orders had been issued today for a naval demonstration on the Pacihc coast of Mexico, as we'll as on the Att lantic, General Huerta was advised tha the most powerful fighting force the American government ever has assembled

London Comment

London, April 15.-Most of the London morning papers commenting upon ths Mexican situation sympathize with Pres ident Wilson in the Mexican tangle, while at the same time contending that diffi- oulties were largely brought about by his idealistic policy.
 Much curiosity is expressed over the intentions of the United States, because, although it generally is believed Huerta will yield. it is pointed out that should he remain obdurate the mere occupation of Tampico would not have much prac- teal effect and that the blockade of Vera Cruz would be the only measure that would deal serious blow to the Huerta regime.
 The Daily Telegraph cannot believe President Wilson intends to put into ef- feet resolute military intervention, and sees no hope of putting an end to tho anarchy which has resulted from the Wilson policy or moral intervention.
 Tho Daily Graphic considers that Pres ioent Wilson's high moral purposes have landed the United States and the Pres ident himself ''in a situation of the great est difficulty and embarrassment" The Graphic continues: Mexico mus; be conquered or left alone. The idea that intervention can be limited to the occupa- ton of Tampico and Vera Cruz is a fresa delrsion which would be speedily shat tel ed."
 The Standard says: "The big stick which Roosevelt would have used long ago at last has been grasped The door of peace is still open, out 1t rests with Huerta to avail himself of the chance"
