The prInee,s nrIaht shadow.

no FflHCcs 6FtHUt 9UauoWs
There are old people living In Eng
land today who remember hearing
their fathers and mothers speak of
young Frenchman of uncommon per-
sonality, constantly seen with Prince
Louis Napoleon during the last days
OF his life In London In the year 1910,
Lady Constance Cecil nicknamed this
Frenchman the princes bright
shadow" There seemed to be closer
tie than brotherhood between them,
and the tradition runs that the mys-
teal prince had a superstition that his
luck went with him In the person of
the Chevalier Beaupre.
II was all as II should be; he was
entirely happy. He had asked three
wishes OF the good fairies, as he had
said long ago; that the prince should
be emperor-that he might become "a
marshal OF France under another Bona
parte"--that Alike should love him.
The first two no believed about to be
realized. The last? II was not now
the time to think Of that. Alike had
kissed him good,by. That would more
than do till the rgnr was over. So he
sped back to London, missing Pietro,
but hopeful and buoyant. And In Lon
don there was q letter for him from
Virginia.
Dear Francois" Lucy began. ITO

by Harry's wife should be to tell you

and regrets and finally slipped into a

Villas BEHAVIOR
Will Not Alter Uncle Sans
Plans as to Withdrawing
Troops from Vera Cruz.

WASHINGTON. Sept 24It was
officially stated at the White House
today that the latest troubles be-
tween General Carranza and General
Villa would not alter the plan of the
United States as to withdrawing
troops from Vera Cruz or the status
of the embargo on arms. No date
has been fixed for moving the troops.
President Wilson is understood to
take the position that Carranza and
Villa must settle their differences
without interference from the United
States and that the presence of Amer
ican troops at Vera Cruz would not
solve the difficulty.
According to official Information
here Villa is willing to have Carranza
become provisional president or re-
sign now and run for the presidency
later. They have been Informed
that Villa objects to Carranza doing
both. AS outlined in official circles
today President Wilson will continue
to persue q watchful waiting policy
and allow the Mexicaps to work out
their own destiney provided that
rights of foreigners are not trans
crossed.
After a talk with the president
Secretary Daniels said that the
trouble between Carranza and Villa
would not change the plans for the
feet in Mexican waters. He added
that it has been the intention to keep
ships at Vera Cruz until after the
| withdrawal OF the troops and that
this course would be followed.
