merchantmen are being converted into

the troops at Texas City TO be ready

Garrison said no aggressive measures
are contemplated.
The possibility OF having to block

SEND HUERTA A REPLY.
The South American ENJOYS trans
mftted to Huerta today the reply of
the American government to his pro-
test that the United States had broken
the truce by landing additional troops
at Vera Cruz. Secretary Bryan de
clared that nothing had been done to
violate the armistice The three med
tators took the view that Huerta
could be convinced that the United
States had not violated it in spirit, at
least.
While the diplomatic and military
phases OF the international drama
compelled much attention, observers
turned to developments in the Huerta-
Carranza strife. Constituionalists eN-
pressed confidence that their troops
would drive the Federals out OF Tam
pIco in the next few days That de-
velopment. it was hoped in some
quarters, would relieve tension over
the menace to foreign property in the
Tampico oil district. Reports that San

Christmas, and then Marta come to

Miss Eversham was still more du-
bious, and her anxiety on behalf OF
her protege was not lessened whett,
as the weeks passed by, Tony's face
became more and more downcast.
Miss Eversham rallied him on his de-
spondency in view OF his approaching
marriage but 1t was not until late
in the year that Tony youchsafed an
explanation.
"1t is Nil gone. all my hope gone,
he said, pulling photograph out OF
his pocket. Look, NIces Eversham!"
Miss Eversham studied the photo
graph with dismay. twas that OF an
extremely plain young woman, siat-

shoulders were those of hunchback.

denly he clasped his hands and wept
unrestainedy. "Oh. It ees hard, Mees

Miss Eversham drew the story from
him then. Julfana was the young
woman who had brought him news of
Marta. She had come to America to
display some paintings, and had
achieved great success. Already she
had become something Of vogue in
the world OF art, Only twenty-five,
