The sweat poured from his face like
rain. His eyes started in their sock
cts, the blood drummed in his ears
with a roar resembling distant thun-

dry.
He felt that he could not hold on
another instant when, abruptly, that
torture was no more. The rope had
been relieved OF its burden. He heard
a scream from below echoed by one
from above, then the thump OF Judith's
body falling on the shale, then the
slithering rumble of the landslide
gathering momentum.
Barcus, at length arrived, assisted
him to a place of security. Spent

prone and shuddering.
Only the assurance of Barcus that
Judith had somehow escaped being
precipitated over the caves OF the
shale roof reused him and gave him
nerve enough to resume the climb.

RANGERS RETIRES
Threats on His Life Led Captain
John R. Hughes Into the
Service.
NEVER LOST A BATTLE
In Continuous Service Since 1887 and
Was Promoted From Private TO
Present Rank by Superiors
Being Killed.

Ysleta, Tex-Capt. John K. Hughes,
the Oldest ranger in the state serv-
ice in point of years, is to retire. His
resignation has been handed in after
a continuous service since 1887. He
entered as a private and on July A,
1893, was made a captain, all of his
superior officers having been killed
in desperate fights with fierce border
bandits.
He was led to talk about himself
and his career. He pictured 1t in
simple, plain words.
The tale as he told 1t follows:
Before l enlisted in the ranger
force, / was a ranchman on the line
OF Travis and Williamson counties.
A band of thieves stole about seven
ty-five head of horses from my range.
Among them were sixteen head OF
mine. / followed them to New Next
CO, got all my horses back and a lot
of my neighbors horses. The band
of men were convicted for stealing my
horses, and sent to the New Mexico
penitentiary.

Alan, he told himself shrewdly,

German Paper Says England Can't
Use Passengers as Shield.
Berlin, May 19.-The Tagliche
Rundschau says:
Owing to the presence on board
the Lusitania of ammunition which
menaced the lives of many thousand
German soldiers, it was not only Ger
many's right, but her duty, to sink
this auxiliary cruiser, which was
bringing ammunition to England and
using American citizens as a shield
for carrying contraband. More sacred
than the lives of neutrals are the
lives of our compatriots, our brave
troops who would long since have end
ed the war if America had not pro-
longed it by the profitable export of
arms to our enemies.
America, as always, is proud of
her sober reasonableness and when
English mendacity has abated she will
say that Germany violated no Ameri-
can rights, but acted according to
right and duty as she was obliged to
act"

Seems Assured-United States May

Washington, May 1.-TWO impor-
tant factors, it became known, are
working to delay for another week
Germany's reply to the American note
of May 49,, sent as consequence of
the Lusitania disaster.
First-The next few days are ex
pected to decide whether Germany

tary situation by the entrance of Italy
into the war and the cutting off of all
supplies through the Mediterranean.
Second-Interested diplomats here
believe the interim Of delay will re-
veal whether the United States of it's
own initiative will send a general
protest to the allies with respect to
their alleged violations of internation-
al law by interfering with commerce
between American ports and neutral
countries of Europe. ~.
Officials here generally think the
Austro-Italian situation may absorb
the attention of the German govern
ment during this week and delay the
final composition of the reply. Such
information as the United States gov
eminent recently has received is of a
positive nature, indicating that Italy
will soon enter the war, though in
Austro-German quarters here there
still is confidence that break will be
averted.
Food Supply Threatened.
1t is realized that should Italy be-
come a belligerent Germany would
lose all hope of obtaining foodstuffs
or other supplies through the Medi-
terranean and if Roumania followed
1taly's lead, as predicted, the wheat
supply from Southeastern Europe
would be cut off. r
In such circumstances of almost
complete isolation, it is explained in
diplomatic quarters, Germany would
lind the submarine even more inval-
liable a weapon for reducing enemy
supplies and commerce.
The idea that the United States
will send note to the allies seeking
notifications Of their order in council
has it's origin in quarters where the
conviction is held that such move at
this time, would demonstrate to Ger
many the intention of the United
States to be equally vigorous in an
1nsistence on the observance of neu-
trail rights by Great Britain and her
allies, making unnecessary an offer by
Germany to return to the maritime
rules of international law, if the allies
did likewise.
Although without definite Informal
ton there is a disposition in we'll in
formed quarters here to believe that
the president, who returns to Wash
ington Thursday, will withhold any
contemplated representations to Eng
land until Germany's reply is receiv-
ed, because of the desire to obtain
frank understanding with the latter
country on the points raised in the
American note without complicating
them with the situation as between
the United States and the allies.
