"You can call this fairyland, If you
want" Laura remarked, gazing around
her; 81 call it a nasty, damp, ooZy
spot"
Quest motioned them to sit little
nearer.
Il had a moments talk with Craig
this morning, and from what he says
I fancy they mean to make a move
little farther in before long. It'll be
all the more difficult to escape them"
"You think we could get away?"
Lenora whispered, eagerly.
Quest glanced cautiously around

asked.

They dispersed in various directions.
1t was not until late in the evening,
when the Mongars had withdrawn
little to indulge in their customary
orgy of grooming songs, that they were
absolutely alone. Quest looked out of
the tent in which they had been sit
ting and came back again.
"Well?"
Laura lifted her skirt and showed
an unusual projection underneath.
"Lenora and I have pinned up our
petticoats,'' she announced. We've
got plenty of food and a bottle of
water"
Quest threw open the white Arab
cloak which he had been wearing. He
had three rifles strapped around him.

''What about Craig?" the professor
inquired.

Lenora hesitated.

pered fearfully.
Quests face was suddenly stern.
."Craig is going back with U.S." he
said. 'T'11 be careful, Lenora. Don't
worry"
He strolled out of the tent and came
back again.
"The coasts clear" he announced.
"Off you go. -. One moment" he
added, there are some papers in this

He bent hastily over the little wallet,
which never left him. Suddenly lit

Quest never said a; word. From one
of the spaces of the wallet he drew out

held out the card. They read it to-

They all rose at once to their feet,

The impractcability OF the Alabama law pro-

The Mexican Problem.

Senator Falls speech advocating a joint in
tervention in Mexico by the United States and
the so-called A. B. c. Powers seems to indicate
that even on the border desire for conquest Of
Mexico is not predominant On the face OF it,
deserves careful criticism. For if military inter-
vention becomes absolutely necessary, joint action
would be our best guarantee against those who
once they got into Mexico, would never wish to go
out again. Then, too, joint action would be a
practical test of the Pan-American idea, public
recognition of the maturity OF the three South
American nations. 1t would also be an acknowl-
edgment of the fact that the Monroe doctrine is
no longer policy merely of the United States,
the nations OF this hemisphere. The difficulties Of
joint action are, however. very great In any &C
ton the United States would have to do the brunt
of the work. and il is doubtful whether there is
enough internationalism in this country's opinion
to treat equals nations not equal in the power
they can exert. Moreover, there is reason to be-
lieve that the term A. b. c. powers is more of a
phrase than fact. The Argentine, Brazil, and
Chile are by means affectionate and united
South American powers. The jealousy between
them at times is great that proud citizen of
Argentina will regard it as insult to be Jumped
with the Brazans These South American powers
have weak but rich neghbors over whom they
hope to extend their influence They arc not at
all content with the status quo and might not
readily agree to the kind of Pan-Americanism
which tried to solidify the existing system of the
hemisphere. All these factors may not prove in
superable obstacles to the eventual realization OF
Senator Falls suggestion. but they must be con-
Mexico is not an isolated problem. 1t is part Of

Admiral Shigeto Dewa, naval counselor to the
Mikado, special envoy to the Panama Pacific EN-
position and hero of Port Arthur surely entitled
to an apology from officials of the United
States government. The indignities to which the
distinguished visitor subjected because of the
similarity OF his name to that OF our own Admiral
Dewey are humiliating to Americans as they
were annoying to Japans envoy. The stupid ac-
tons of those New York railway officials who
treated Admiral Dewa and his party imposters
because they were expecting Admiral Dewey arc
almost beyond comprehension in Washington;
but there is no escaping the conclusion that the
State Department, in failing to assign escort
to the Mikado's representative, to him from
even the possibility OF such insult. lacking
in official courtesy. Can any one imagine Admiral
Dewey being subjected to such treatment in

one Of the anecdotes associated with
the life of ThOreau which has attracted
especial attention in England, where the
first biography of Thoreau was pub
lished. describes a walk which he had
with an English friend, Cholmondeley by
name. at 4 time when this English ad-
mirer Of Thoreau visited him at his home
in Concord. CholmOndeley was man OF
wealth, a student of nature and also of
literature He had been fascinated by
the reading of Thoreau's book which de-
scribed his life in his hut at Walden
Pond He therefore visited Thoreau and
took many walks with him. Upon one
occasion Cholmondeley said to Thoreau,
How are you able to find so many In
dian arrow heads as you do?
Il find them almost always when l
take walk" Thoreau replied. Very
likely there is one on the ground here
where we are standing" Having said
this. Thoreau looked closely at the
ground and then said, Yes, here is one.
He picked it up and gave it to Cholmon-
deley. who found it to be in as perfect
condition as when the Indian who made
it discharged it from his bow, perhaps
2tD years before.
I was reminded of this anecdote while
was the companion of Mr.. Hicks. whose
first name / do not recall, who was the
owner of the orchard at AppomattoS
Court House in which grew the apple
tree which has become associated with
the last meeting between Gen. Lee and
Gen. Grant.

the report which widely prevailed re-
speeding this apple tree was utterly with
out foundation: and Mr.. Hicks, who
should know, told me that there was no
such incident associated with the tree as
tradition attributed to II. Nevertheless.
the myth will remain one of the tradi-
tons of the civil war, and a great hole

asked Mr.. Hicks IL the apple orchard
was within range of the Federal troops.
.'Oh. YES" he replied 'On the morn

eral troops fired from those woods in the
southwest and seemed to have this or
chard well within range. The marks Of

In the debate the District bill in the House
on Saturday, Representative Johnson, of Ken
lucky, said Everybody who cares to know does
know that less than acres out OF the entire
$4,000 acres in this District used exclusively
by the Federal government" Mr.. Johnson no
doubt succeeded in misleading large number OF
his hearers by that statement. His estimate OF
100 acres occupied exclusively by the Federal
government" would possibly cover the area of
the buildings actually occupied by the Federal
government though even that is open to ques-
ton. II would leave out, however. not only all
parks, the grounds surrounding the White House,
Capitol and National Library, but the Navy Yard.
Arsenal and Marine Barracks and alls similar
reservations as we'll. Mr.. Johnsons estimate is
meaningless; but he can, perhaps, justify his words
by the contention that property which residents
of Washington permitted to walk through or
ride through is not used exclusively by the Fed

/ have found. in the course Of cas-
ual inquiries made during the last sew

readers never heard of o. Henry. and
1t Is fact that not until the talk about
him at the time of his death had / ever
paid any attention to him or read any
OF his writings. I mention myself as
a fair average instance. and sub
scribe for over a dozen periodicals Of
various sorts Therefore. l recommend
that you print a write-up Of o. Henri
very soon- Tell all about him and
how he Is rated as a short-story writer.
That Is. advertise these stories. You
must know that there are many busy
people who do not habituaily read stories

OF these stories have been used as thu

YOU do not do this. but take for granted

take. Also. do you not owe it to many
of your readers to invite their atten-

In order that they may not neglect them

Yet the decline is speculative the rise When
man buys wheat for advance, and the ad.

demands for margins. He generally sells. and the
