Rosamund's face impelled her TO add
mischievously. And he's often spoken
to me about you"
Rosamund showed her irritation at
the patronizing air of familiarity only
by the slightest flush. Indeed" she
said, its queer be hasn't told me
about you"
ooh. there's very little to tell" That
was what Carolyn's lips said. but her
whole face told a different story. In
the womans language Of smiles she
was an adept and Carolyn's smile was
cruel.
II was now evident that unless Rosa
mund could distinguish herself from
the vast horde Of Hall Bonistelle's fe-
male friends, she w5uld expire Of
shame. Carolyn. without knowing ex-
actly what caused the girl to suffer,
was rejoicing In her lack Of ease. She
watched Rosamund grope for an ef-
fectual reply At last It came with
a proud toss Of the blonde head and a
flash of the golden brown eyes.

know by the way you spoke first, but
perhaps you know him pretty well.
OF course Hall and I are quito good
friends, you know"
@Yes?" Carolyn was more attentive.

Pardons.

legal fight for a new trial or commu-
tation to life Imprisonment.
Nine other murderers condemned to
the gallows took new heart at the re-
prieve granted the Mexicans.
Secretary Bryan's Intervention at
the behest of GSa. Villa. while resent
ed by the State Legislature, is be-
lieved to have been the principal
cause Of the Pardons Board giving the

eloquently for the lives of his country
men. In the death cells the doomed
men bore up bravely.

MED the Mexicans by Judge Sawtelle

slayer's Death Stayed by Error.

Cheyenne.-The Wyoming Supreme
Court allowed a writ of error to the
United States Supreme Court in the
case of Oscar w White, under sen
tence to be hanged June 4, for the
murder Of Anderson Coffee. Whites
appeal to the Federal Court is based
on the contention that his conviction
of a crime, alleged by official informa-
ton to have been committed August
10, 1908. seventeen thousand n hun
bred years in the future, is a violation
of the fourteenth amendment to the
United States constitution. The mis-
take in the date, which should have
been August IL, 1918, was due to a
clerical error.

Washington, May 27.-The course of
the United States government in the
case of the American steamer Ne
land was undetermined last night be-
cause officials were without definite
information as to whether the ship
was torpodoed or struck by a mine.
Messages from Ambassador Page
and Consul General Skinner at Lon
dor transmitted the report of the
British admiralty, that the vessel had
been ~torpedoed; but officials. noted
with much interest the captains re-
port to his owners, indicating a doubt
as to whether the Nebraskan was hit
by a torpedo or a mine. President
Wilson himself read all the official
and unofficial dispatches. In view of
the positive position which the United
States has taken on the subject of
submarine activity in h war zone.

Of its early return to power in Mexi-

President Wilson, as head of the
American Red Cross, issued an appeal
to the American people to contribute
money and supplies of food for the re-
lief of starving Mexicans. The Presi-
dents appeal, addressed to the people,
was as follows:
The American people with char
acteristic generosity and an impartial
spirit of brotherhood with all nations,
have contributed literally for the re-
lief Of the appalling sufferings caused
by the unprecedented war in Europe.
There has now risen a condition of
equally great suffering and need close
to u own borders. Due to several
years Of internal disturbance, the I'M
fortunate people of many parts of
Mexico have been reduced to the verge
of starvation. and unless assistance is
rendered them many may die for lack
of food. rY
THE American Red Cross is ready
to undertake relief work for the bene-
fit of the Mexican people. / appeal
most earnestly to Jul people, there
fore, to contribute both money and
supplies of food to mitigate the suf-
fering and misery so close at hand.
All contributions in money may be
sent to the American Red Cross,
Washington, or to its local ~treasurers.
Those who r able to contribute corn.
rice, beans or flour are requested to
communicate with the American Red
Cross headquarters, Washington, for
instructions.
