expressing his undying devotion and
his renewed excuses he put his homage

another very beautiful dress, looked UP
at her niece, who was playing at the
piano.

Miss Redmond rose from the piano
and came over to her aunt, for dinner

CHAPTER v.
The Golden Autumn,

Sabron longed for change with au.

teau d'Esclignac. He thought he
would like to go away. He rode his
horse one day up to the property of
the hard-hearted unforgiving lady and,
,, finding the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace Seeing
no one, he sat in his saddle looking
over the golden country to the Rhone
and the castle Of the good King Rene.
where the autumn mists were like BAN
ners floating from towers
There was solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young officer with sweet melancholy.
He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one of the
windows, and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed it with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them, for the wind started them flying,
and he rolled his tawny little body
over and over in the rustling leaves.
Then rabbit, which before the ar.
rival of Sabron had been sitting com.
fortably on the terrace stones, scut-
tied away like mad, and Pitchoune,
somewhat hindered by his limp, tore
after it,
The deserted chateau, the fact that
there was nothing in his military life
beyond the routine to interest him
now in Tarascon, made Sabron eagerly
look forward to a change, and he
waited for letters from the minister of
war which would send him to a new
post.
The following day after his visit to
the chateau he took a walk Pitcnoune
at his heels, and stood aside in the
highroad to let a yellow motor pass
him, but the yellow motor at that mo-
ment drew up to the side of the road
while the chauffeur got out to adjust
some portion of the mechanism. Some.
one leaned from the yellow motor win.

regretted so very much not having
been able to dine with them in the
spring.
And your sick friend?" asked
Madame d'Esclignac keenly, did he
recover"
YES" said Sabron, and Miss Red
mond, who leaned forward, smiled at
him and extended her pretty hand.
Sabron opened the motor door.
What a darling dog!" Miss Red
mond cried. What bewitching face
he has! He's an Irish terrier, isn't
he?"
Sabron called Pitchoune, who di-
verted his attention from the chauf-
feur to come and be hauled up by the
collar and presented. Sabron shook
off his reticence.

said with a courteous bow. This is

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


Question.-"How is perfumed starch
perfumes but like delicate odor in
linen articles"
Reply.-Put a bag of powdered orris
root in the last rinsing water or the
flowers of lavender or other sachet flow
ers in a bag and boil with the starch.
Perfumed paraffine is not expensive and
it is added to the starch while it is
being made. The best way, however,
to perfume garments is to put bags
of sachet in drawers and closets

adhesive plaster. Can this be had in

The Carranza agency made public
tonight the following cablegram from
Vera Cruz:
Vera Cruz is delirious with joy
over Obregon's great victory. Thous-
ands are parading the streets cheer
ing for Carranza, Obregon and Con-
stitutionalist government. 1t is gener-
ally thought Villa will never recover
from this blow. Ohregon is steadily
pushing north toward Irapuato. Gen.
Luis Hernandez has delivered to Car
rama two banners of Villas northern
division captured in the battle at Co
lava. Popular demonstration as they
were paraded through the streets"
Routed at Tuxpam
The agency also reported that the
Vltazs troops attacking Tuxpam had
bee0 routed The railway between
Vera Cruz and Queretaro is in almost
constant use by Cen Obregon for the
transportation of reinforcements and
residents Of Mexico City have been
unable to get any freight. Already
there is suffering in the Mexican capt.
fal from rack of food. Duval West,
personal representative of President
Wilson telegraphed from Mexico City
that famine threatened. Secretary
Bryan forwarded Mr.. Vests telegram
to American Consul Silliman at Vera
Cruz with instructions to present it
to Gen. Carranza and impress upon
the latter the necessity for opening the
railroad to Mexico City for the trans
portation of food supplies. The Zapata
forces are operating along the same
railroad and there are fears in Vera
Cruz that Gen. Obregon's line of COM
munication to his base in the latter
place may be cut at any moment.
Charges by Villa Agency
The Villa agency issued statement
tonight reaffirming the charge that
200 men and IS women, employed on
railway repair work, had been exc
cuted by the Carranza forces after
the recent battle at Huisachita. This
charge has been denied by the Car
rama leader, Gen. Herrera. The Villa
agency statement is based it says up

INVESTIGATION OF

of Naval Base at Turtle Bay-Orders Report
from Rear Admiral Howard of Pacific Fleet

Washington, April 16.-While
disinclined to credit reports that
Japan had established a naval
base at Turtle Bay, Lower Cali
fornia, United States officials
today instituted an investiga-
ton with the idea of learning
exactly what use the belliger-
ent warshi ps were making Of
Mexican territorial waters.
Secretary Daniels telegraph
ed Rear Admiral Howard of the
Pacific fleet the substance of
the published stories and asked
him to ascertain whether there
was any foundation for them.
Secretary Bryan has received
no information from the Ameri-
can consul in Lower California
to the effect that the Japanese
intend to establish a naval base
there: but it is understood he
will communicate the press re-
ports to them with a request
for any facts that may bear on
the subject.

Washington, April 16.-Confirmation

tonight Of the victory claimed by Car

to have been won by Gen. Obregon
over Gen. Villas forces near Celaya.
The Carranza claims, were officilly re-

from various points in central Mexico
indicated that the fighting was still
going on. No report was received

controlled by the Villa faction to
make an investigation of the situa-

Commander Nomura, naval attache
of the Japanese embassy. called in
formally on navy department officials
today and assured them that there
was no truth in the reports that any
attempt was being made to estab-
fish a permanent naval base. He is
said to have explained that the pres
ence of the Japanese warships was
du entirely to the cruiser Asama,
which ran aground there recently.
There was informal discussion Of

dency was to discredit reports that
