CO Now Watched BY the
Government Agent

Mexico City, April 5.--Via Hav.
ana, April 22.-The following dis
patch was sent by mail to Havana
in order to avoid the censorship es-
tablished by General Huerta which
Is more strict than at any time here
tofore
Every telegraph wire out of Mexico
City-commercial, railroad or cable
is now watched over by a censor
chosen from among the most reliable
and intelligent men in the govern
ment telegraph service. These cen
sors frankly inform would-be senders
of dispatches that It is not a ques-
ton of the veracity of the messages,
nor whether they disclosed military
movements, but is merely a question
of suppressing all news not favorable
to the government.
Code Messages Prohibited
Code messages are absolutely pro
hibited with the exception only OF
bank kilograms. The bankers Of
Mexico succeeded in having the EN-
barge on these messages raised but
only after they had proved that the
detention of the dispatches would ser,
iously embarrass the financial depart.
ment of the government.
! Newspaper correspondents were
| given to understand that If they
were detected in using subterfuges to
! evade the censorship they would find
/ themselves in jail.
While Nelson O'Shaughnessy was
acting as the messenger of the Uni
ted States government to Provisional
President Huerta in the endeavor tc
avert war between the two countries,
more than SO per cent of the Mexican
residents In the federal capital went
about their affairs in total ignorance
Of the crisis.
News Suppressed
General Huerta and his officials
cleverly concealed even from theil
intimate friends all knowledge OF
strained relations between Mexico and
the United States. The general pub
lie was even more in the dark since
the newspapers published columns
Of glowing accounts Of victories b,
the federal armies in the north.
| Reports OF federal successes sale
to have occurred at places far be
yond the limits of the telegraph line'
were printed broadcast. One dispatch
announced with great display tina
General villa had been captured.
The railroads ceased some time ag'
carrying freight to the north, as thu
limited supply Of fuel oil on han'
made it necessary to conserve 1t TO
the movement of military trains.
Considerable apprehension has bee'
aroused in the capital by the move
ments OF Emiliano Zapata, the rebe
leader in the south, who, after gain
ing undisputed possession of the stat
of Guerrero, with the exception c
the. port of Acapulco, has shown IL
dications of moving northward. Tn
southern rebels have recently game
considerably in numbers and 1t
feared they may become formidabl
enough to venture an attack on tn
federal capital.

Gordon turned In amazement
and gazed at the kindly old face.
Promotion he had hoped for. but
such promotion he had never
dreamed OF receiving.
Pooh! Pooh!" said the chief.
"You deserve II, you deserve IT."
when Gordon tried to blunder out
some words OF appreciation. Then,
as IL to cap the climax, he added:
And, by the way. you know
some one has got to run across
the water to look after that STAN

CHAPTER XI.
The Truth Told.

Celia grew more and more
nervous as an hour and then an
other half-hour slipped slowly
away, and still he did not come.
She waited by the window and
at last saw Gordon get out of a
car and disappear into the build
ing below. She heard the clang
of the elevator, and steps, then
they key In the latch.
She turned and looked at him,
her hands clasped before her and
her eyes yearning, glad and
frightened all at once.
"Oh, / have been 80 frightened
about you! am so glad you have
comet" she said, and caught her
voice in sob as she took one lit
tie step toward him.
He threw his hat upon the floor
and went to meet her, a great
light glowing in his tired eyes, his
arms outstretched to hers.
And did you carer" he asked
in a voice of almost awe. Dear,
did you care what became of
me?"
ooh, yes, cared! I could not
help it."
His arms went round her hun

Obi" she breathed. do you
mean that IL you had known me a
little-that is, Just as much as you
know me now-and had come In
there and found out your mistake
before 1t was too late, you would
have wanted to go on with it,"
She waited for his answer breath
lessly.
IF you had known me just as
much as you do now, and had
looked up and seen that Il was
and not George Hayne you we're
marrying. would you have want
ed to go on and be married?"
Her cheeks grew rosy and her
eyes confused. .9t@
II asked you first" she said,
with just flicker of a smile.
He caught the simmer of light
in her eyes. and came toward her
eagerly.
Darling" he said, 81 can go
farther than you have asked.
From the first minute my eyes
rested upon your face. ] wished
with all my heart that I might
have known you before any other
man had found and won you. And
when your little hand was laid in
mine, my heart went out in long
ing to have 1t stay in mine for
ever. You are my wife. by every
law of heaven and earth, II your
heart will but say yes. l love you
as | never knew a man could love,
and yet IL you do not want to stay
with me will set you free.
Darling, look up and answer my
question now!"
He stood before her with out
stretched arms, and for answer
she rose and came to him shyly,
with downcast eyes. Gently, ten
derby, he folded his. arms about
her, as If she were too precious to
handle roughly, and laid his lips
upon hers.

The days passed rapidly. and at
last Gordon was free to sail away
with his bride. On the morning
of their departure Gordon's voice
rang out over the miles of tele-
phone wires to his old chief in
Washington: 81 am married and
am just starting on my wedding
trip. Don't you want to congratu-
