VILLA MONEY TIED UP.

III Centro, Cal, Oct 25.-The first
step in what was said to be general
movement to shut off revenues and
supplies from Mexicans opposing Car
ANA was taken Sunday when at
torneys representing Carranza agents
procured in the county superior court
temporary restraining order for
bidding two banks at Calexico to pay
out about 100000 said to have been
deposited by Esteban Cantu, independ-
|ent governor Of Lower California, until
ts ownership has been legally de-
termined. The funds are said to rep
resent a part of the customs duties
collected by Cantu at Mexicali oppo-
site Calexico and intended for use in
paying Cantus garrison of several
hundred soldiers at that point.
1t is alleged that the money belongs
to the defense government of Mexico,
represented by General Venustiano
Carranza.
Cantu's soldiers have been getting
81 a day in gold.

He advanced toward her now, his

more so close at his side.

him back. "Surrender-you ask me to

Art of japan.

A certain fastidiousness, a certain
love of scrupulous and clearly order.
belongs to the Japanese character; we
find it in their manners, their habits,
their furniture, in all their workman
ship. The word exquisite, so often
vaguely misapplied, is an epithet truly
applicable to the art of Japan. The
faults of this character are tendency
to the smallness which often goes with
neatness. The Japanese do not work
under the pressure of abundant ideas
and torrential emotions; they do not
fall into the excessive extravaganza
which sometimes besets the Chinese.
But their unfailing sense of style com.
pensates in great measure for their
lack of more genial exuberance
Taste with them, as with artists like
Velasquez and Whistler, becomes no
mere negative avoidance. One might
well compare the Japanese genius in
some aspects with the Latin genius,
as it is shown in much of the poetry
of the Romans and of the French,
where telling economy of words and
fineness of handling are made to com
pensate for a slightness or even com
plete absence of matter-Laurence
Binyon, in the Atlantic.

about him, and neither could find
hope.
THE wheel, the Wheel" called Sa-
chic at length. Stop him, men-he is
opening the water gates-stop him at
once"
Himself and few men endeavored
to go at Frederick, but met the irate
Kitty, who put up tigerlike resis-
lance to protect her comrade at his
work. The sound of shots came, the
mingled sounds of much confused lam
entation from those now threatened
with drowning in these deep subter-
ranean passages.
What" exclaimed Cortislaw to Sa-
chic, lis it my fate to drown like
rat here in their palace? Quick, Sa-
chic, offer them peace-offer them
treaty"
Even the sense OF chagrin was lost
to Sachio now in his terror for his life
and that of his sovereign. He ad-
vanced through the water as best he
might until he caught the attention of
Frederick, still busy at his task.
Halt, Count Frederick" he cried.
''Wait-we offer parley-we offer
truce-we offer you peace, if so you
will protect the life of our sovereign.
$50 then" exclaimed Frederick
your sovereign is here?"
81 admit he is said Sachio. Il adj
nit also that you have the upper hand
of us once more. We cannot perish
like so much vermin here-stop your
cursed wheel and give us respite, OF
soon it will be too late"
Are you sincere, Count Sachio
demanded Frederick-"may we be-
lieve your word? We have had cause
to doubt it more than once.
Doubt it then no more. Cut on
these foods which are drowning US
inch by inch, and we will leave your
palace and leave the town. give you

We do not want you to cumber our

If any of you remains death shall be

ing of the waters ceased. They
reached their own level again. Once
more the old moat was locked, and
once more drawn battle had been
fought over that secret which still re
manned hidden deep somewhere in
those rock caverns.
Little by little, slowly and in deep
humiliation. the forces of Grahoffen
found their way out as best they
might-or at least most of them did
including Sachio and Cortislaw, his
king.
Presently Frederick, Kitty and King
Michael were alone once more, res.
cued as much by fate, by chance, as
by their own wits-keen as those had
been.
so, your majesty" said Count
Frederick to King Michael, where
there is will there is way-it seems
the proverb is proved true once more.
We were not far alike from death and
burial here ourselves. Had our friends
the enemies remained much longer,
we would have taken toll of them to
the last man. Twas lucky, my recol-
lection of the old tradition aboutsthe
wheel and the water gates.
But come now, perhaps your mai
esty will rest" said he in conclusion.
Il think we shall now have better op-
portunity to do so. Unless l am now
far mistaken, our friends of Grahof-
fen will leave US. Not only with fire
and sword, but with the waters under
the earth, we have smitten them.
AS for you, mademoiselle," said he
when at length they had escorted the
monarch to a place of greater safety,
Il congratulate you also on the escape.
You aided handsomely as ever. But
for your courage we could not have
succeeded"
1T was nothing" said Kitty. "The
trapped animal fights desperately"
1T is of no Importance" said Count
Frederick calmly. A peril passed is
passed, and need give us no more
concern. But stay, there was some
unfinished business between you and
me, mademoiselle. Tell me, why
should we be enemies still, since we
have learned to fight shoulder to
shoulder against the enemies of our

Count Frederick knew that this
wheel and the levers beyond con-
trolled the drainage outlet of the
great moat which surrounded the
rear portion Of the castle. Those low
CT gates once opened. there was moth
ing to prevent flooding of the subter-
ranean passages. The moat waters
mad been used for that very purpose
IN the past-so ran tradition-and
great had been the slaughter wrought
upon ancient enemies of Gretzhoffen
through that very means. Here they
were living in the past-here they de-
manded of the past its secrets-here
they were surrounded by all the grim
memorials Of the past. Why, then.
tnought Count Frederick, why not use

He laid his hand upon the wheel.
1t had not yielded to an arm less DOW

was necessary to its limit before he
could force it to yield, long disused as

aclng. OF truth, the trapped crea-
lures had turned and wrought their

Quick, get to safety" commanded
Frederick now. And even as he and
his companions found a little higher
level in another chamber whence
they could see the work of the wa
tiers on their foes, those foes them
selves began to cry out in terror at
the mysterious enemy against which
they could not battle.

TELLS OF PREHISTORIC EGYPT
scribes Face Paint Found in
Ancient Graves.

Mr.. Handbook has Just delivered
lecture on prehistoric Egypt at the
British museum, the first of course
of four lectures.
After detailed discussion OF the
dynastic Egyptians on the one hand
and the prehistoric aborigines on the
other, in the course of which he
showed large number of ivory, slate,
bone and clay figurines recovered
from early Egyptian graves. together
with number of skulls, he proceeded
to examine some early ceremonial
slate palettes, which are illustrative
of the fauna of the country at that
period, as well as of the artists skill.
These palettes were used for toilet
purposes, the malachite which was
used for face paint being ground upon
them, and 1t is interesting to note that
traces of paint are still visible on
some of them.
They are of further Importance, in
asmuch as they illustrate pictorially
the traditional conquest of the North
by the South prior to the uniication
of all Egypt under one monarch, the
legendary Mona, one whose histori-
cal counterparts would appear to have
been Aha-Men.
The early predynastic Egyptians
were Neolithic, and the fiints of their
workmanship are the finest wrought
fiints in the world, but later on copper
came unto use.
The Semitic element in the Egyptian
language proves conclusively that
there was Semitic element in the
blood of the dynastic Egyptians. but
this fact does not seem to have much
bearing on the connection between
the early Egyptian and Babylonian
civilization as illustrated by the use
of cylinder seals and similar shaped
mace heads in both countries in the
very earliest times, for at the period
in question the Sumerians and not the
Semites were in all probability the
ruling factors in Babylonian civiliza.
ton. Mr.. Handbook concluded his lee
ture with some remarks on the paint
ings on early Egyptian pottery, which
showed that they knew how to build
and navigate sailing boats as well as
rowing boats from the earliest times.

King Cortislaw, safe at last from the
danger he had encountered in the sub
terranean passageways of the palace,
was greeted with cheers by his men
when at length he emerged. Sur
rounded by his soldiers and his Off
GERS, he passed out in retreat from
the scene which but now had been a
triumph for his arms.
His officers attended him-all save
one. Count Sachio, indomitable even
in defeat, fingered for just a
time behind the others in the
escape from the submerged pas
sages. Hurrying here and there,
he sought as best he might, unguided,

But the idler, simply because his
mind is not properly occupied, does
