slips us again. I'm going to stay here
with the bunch"
The inspector sighed. His face had
grown long and the buoyancy hat
passed from his manner.
They found the others waiting fol
them at the end of the great wooden
shed. Quest turned to French.
Look here, French" he said, "yo,
know / don't want to hurry you off
but don't know what we're going tc
do with this fellow about in San Fran
cisco. We don't want to lodge tive
charges, and we should have to put
him in Jail tonight. Why don't you
take him on right away? There's O
limited goes by the southern route in
an hours time.'i
French assented gloomily.
THAT snits me-" he agreed. you'll
be glad to get rid of the fellow, too,
he added.
They drove straight to the depot,
found two vacant seats in the train,
and Quest, with a little sigh of relief,

clared, passing Lenora's arm through
his. We'll just have a look around
the city and then get down to San
Diego and take look at the exposi-
ton there. No responsibilities; no one
to look after, nothing to do but enjoy
ourselves"
Quest and Lenora turned away from
the window of the hotel, out of which
they had been gazing for the last
quarter of an hour
It's too beautiful" Lenora sighed.
Quest stood for a moment shaking
his head. The professor, with a pile
of newspapers stretched out before
him, was completely engrossed in
their perusal. Laura, who had been
sitting in an armchair at the farther
end of the apartment, was apparently
deep in thought.
Say, you two are no sort of people

for you, Laura, l can't think what's
come over you. You never opened
your mouth at dinner time, and you sit
there now looking like nothing on
earth
Il am beginning to suspect her. Lee
nora chimed in. TOO bad he mad to
hurry away. dear!"
Laura's indignation was not alto
gether convincing. Quest and Lenora
exchanged amused glances. The for
mer picked up the newspaper from the
floor and calmly turned out the pro-
fessor's lamp
Look here he explained, this is
the first night of our holiday. I'm 60

'Lovesickness, indeed she re-
peated scornfully.

CHAPTER xxVi.

Quest took the dispatch which the
hotel clerk handed to him one after
noon a fortnight later and read it
through without change of express
sion Lenora, however, who was by
his side, knew at once that it con-
tanned something startling
What is it?" she asked
He passed his arm through hers and
led her down the hall TO where the
professor and Laura were just wait
ing for the lift. He beckoned them
to follow him to a corner of the
lounge.
There's one thing l quite forgot, a
fortnight ago. he said, slowly, when
| suggested that we should none of us
look at a newspaper until the time we
were in California. Have you kept to
our bargain, professors"
Absolutely"
And you, girls?'

declared.

Quest. who had been studying a
timetable, glanced once more at the
dispatch.
Look here" he said, "Allguez isn't
so far out of the way If we take the
southern route to New York. Let's
get a move on tonight"
Laura led the way to the lift She
was in a state of rare discomposure.

Orozco joined the adherents of Huerta- He took part in scores of engagements and skirmishes s in Chihuahua, Durango. Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
 Orozco was one of the nine federal generals at the battle of Ojinaga. Most of the federal officers and more than 1000 men were interned in the United States after that disastrous defeat but Orozco escaped and soon organized an other command.
 He slipped in and out of Mexico ap- parently at will. A dozen expeditions were organized to capture him, but he always received warning In time to es- cape to the hills. His band finally was broken up last August with the ad- vance on Mexico City of the constitu- tfonalsts. He again slipped through the lines, however, and made his way into the United States.
 With the arrival in the United States of General Huerta, OroZco joined his former chief and accompanied him to Ei Paso. Both were arrested. After be- ing released on bond Orozco again es- capped and since that time it is sup posed he has been in the vicinity where he was killed

Orozco Reported Killed

Fl Paso, Tex, August 31.-Government officials here tonight said they had re- ceived reports confirming earlier rumors that Gen. Pascual Orozco, prominent mill itary leader during Mexican revolutions of the last five years, had been killed in a fight between Mexicans and an American posse. Civilians, United States customs officers and members of the Thirteenth United States cavalry participated in the battle, which, according to reports. was fought in the Green river canyon, Culber- son county, Texas. After raid on the Dick Love ranch yesterday, Orozco and four companions were pursued from the Sierra Blanca country into the foothills. Orozco died at dusk tonight. Four other Mexicans were killed.
 According to reports, the raiders, led by Orozco, arrived at Dick Loves ranch, near Sierra Blanca, yesterday and forced the cook to supply them with dinner. While they were eating, Love and two cowboys approached and the Mexicans fled. shooting as they rode, pursued by Love and his companions, who delayed only to arouse the surrounding country by telephone.
 The posse was formed hurriedly and the running fight, which ended when the last raider was killed, continued until dusk this evening.
 At the home of Genera, Orozco's family here the report of his death could not be confirmed.

of the bullets of his revolver had been exploded, although he did not re- member whether or not he fired It.
 Why did Sunderland register at .ho- tel under an assumed name? What waa he doing in the section of town where lie was shot? Did someone lure him down there for the deliberate purpose of killing him? Why was ii that the bullet which came so near killing him. did not penetrate his coat or top shirt. and did go through his undershirt and burn large hole in it. so close was the weapon to the skin? And why was 1t that powder marks were on the in- side of the top shirt. not on the out side? Who shot Sunderland? Why was Sunderland shot? These are few questions the police are asking; no one knows and it is doubtful whether or not anyone will ever know.
 In the meanwhile a handsome youth 24 years of age, with big blue eyes and chestnut hair, lies on a white bed in the Hillman hospital and defies the officers to fathom his mystery. One time he whispered softly to his nurse, "A woman caused il all" To. detective he denied he said this to the nurse.

 | Inspected Regularly
 "All inspections were regularly carried out by the commanding officer.
 The F-4 was docked recently and the question of stability investigated by the officers of the navy yard and found to be satisfactory. In general the condition of the F-4 compared favorably with the other three boats of this type. The boat was maintained at as high state of efficiency as was practicable within the limitations and deficiencies existing in thls type.
 The action of the F-4 has, in common with the other boats of the same type, fin diving or trimming down, been irregular r. and the depth to which such a sub- marine torpedo boat would descend is un- certain, and the method of checking such a descent is dependent more upon the skill of the commanding officer than upon the mechanical appliances of the boat
 "The officers and men of the F-4 were in so far as can be ascertained. diligeni and alert in the performance of thelt duties and no reluctance was shown by them in operating the said F-4, even though the said officers and crew were well aware of the existing defects"
