He went to sleep that night, fearing
the awakening But as he woke to
the summons OF the early summer sun
shine filing his hotel room, the
dreaded reaction did not come He
could think only. with tenderness OF
the woman who had yielded to him
the love that did not haggle. with a
sort OF awe-and the query, Could he
match 1t?
He arose, and going to the tele-
phone, called her number.
"Is IL you?" He heard the eager
catch In the low voice.
who else could it be?" He laughed
''Kazia. If you should happen to In
vite me to breakfast"
"Oh, will you? Come soon Il
am always waiting for you"
But as he turned away from the
telephone, something caught in his
throat Poor Kazial" he muttered.
We've cut out a big job for our
selves"
He did not have to knock at her
door. While he was still mounting
the last flight of stairs. 1t was thrown
open and she stood awaiting him in
the little entrance hall When he took
her In his close clasp. she put her
hand to his forehead and looked
searchingly into his eyes He was
glad that what she saw there con-
tented her.
"Oh, I'm glad" she murmured from
his shoulder, Pm glad you called me
up"
"Of course did How long did you
think could wait to hear your voice
again?"

hadn't"
But did" He kissed her.
Afterward, when the table had been
cleared and the dishes washed-he

found very comic-he preached his
plan.
"Kazia, have you ever been in the
woods?"

tell me of the hills you came from.
I've always wanted to see them"
"Oh, yes, they're beautiful. But men
live there. I meant clear out beyond
the edge of things as you know them"
So he told her of the wilderness he
had visited-of calm pellucid rivers
that became noble lakes and then
rushed madly down narrow rocky
forest, painless to all but the wild
things and the lonely, hardly less wild
trapper; of its silences and ragings.
She listened eagerly.
Lets go there, Kazia-"
The suggestion left her almost
breathless for moment. Dare WEI"
why not?"
why not?" she repeated slowly.
There would be nothing to fear up
there, nothing to conceal. We could
stay until have to go back to work

But 1 must" she smiled. ct must

over his lips.

He called up the Todd hospital, was
told that Mrs Whiting was not there,
but could be reached at a certain num-

The response came in a low voice
that even the telephone could not rob

There was a pause, then the low

Pope wants TO be present on that happy

A combination of other nations in

TO place itself before the world as be-
ing un-Italian and strictly neutral. The
Pope's Reputation Of the interview IN a
letter to Cardinal Annette. made public
In Paris, has not changed the situation
In the slightest. Lapatie Is an excellent
Catholic. representing great Catholic
organ In France, and the fact rema ins
that he obtained the interview through
Catholic channels. and that the entire
affair was a Vatican plan.
Until Italy went to war the Pope had
high hopes that he might bring about
peace in Europe. 1t was with these
hopes in view that he opposed to the
last the entrance of Italy into the con-
tlict. II Italy remained neutral. the
Pope, being an Italian might be con-
sidered neutral. But with his blood kin

Pope to take such steps as he took in
his lack Of sympathy with the 1talian

was meant to prove the utter neutrality

POLICY ON MEXICO
TO Be ANNOUNCED
WITHIN FORTNIGHT.
President Hopeful That Opera.
tions Near Capital Nay'Have
Decisive Result.

Announcement by President Wilson OF
his next step in the Mexican policy
will be made within two weeks 1nfor-
ma -ionn to this effect was obtained
today from high official Of the State
Department. who declared that the
President had made up his mind to do
this as soon as he returns firm his next
trip to Cornish.
1t is stated authoritatively that the
President is hopeful that the military
operations in progress near Mexico City
may result in such a definite decision
event. 1t is stated he Will take such
ment Of the trouble in the republic.
Secretary Lansing declared today
that he had received no confirmation Of
the reported announcement Of General
Carranza that he would refuse longer
to deal with diplomatic representatives
in Mexico not regularly accredited to
his government. Apparently. however.
the announcement Of the first chief Is
not causing much concern here.
The villa agency gave out today the
eral villa at Torreon:
\. Referring to your telegram OF to-
day. I beg to state the report that an
engagement has taken place at La Col
orado Is absolutely false as our main
force Is at Fresnillo and points imme-
diately north of Zacatecas.
THE reported execution Of railroad
men Is entirely without foundation and
all have performed their duties in the
most satisfactory manner. Those who
have been laid of on account Of lack
of work are meanwhile receiving a rea-
sonable compensation.
The allegation that Pedro Ugarte
has been shot Is likewise false, as
Ugarte is at present imprisoned by
authority charged with fraudulent
practices on the complaint of Abra-
ham Lujan. of Chihauhau.
The state Department Is awaiting
some response from Carranza to the
demand that he order the withdrawal
of the Carranza troops, from Naco.
This demand was made yesterday
after the State Department had con-
vinced itself that the Carranza troops
had violated an agreement made by
both sides with Gen. Hugh l.. Scott,
chief of stafr of the War Department.
that there should abe no military op-
erations around border ground.
