 He Was so= concerned about Ter that she iluYed #up. .to hlm with skill she had seldom displayed in her prafes- sion. At the close of the meeting he assisted on driving her home in his ear With well=feigued hesitation, she told him her story how she and her husband lived happily on q ranch near CMhuahua. uEtu the day when Pan cho rode up te tLejr homestead, shot Mr. Kerr at sight, and offered a help ioSS wotaan the vItcst indignity his de prHvrd mtai could conceive.
 This thrilling story provided the last straw so far as John Burton WAS con cerued, He entered heart and soul into political campaign designed to bring about the introduction of Amer ican law and order into disturbed Mex leo. He backed the project with all his energies and accumulated wealth. At his own cost he recruited and equipped company among his own fellowworkers. and his services were recognized by the government by the bestowul of n temporary commission.
 With him, travelling west on troop train, were Rogers and Madge Kerr, the latter now the accredited core spondent of a ring of important news papers. She had contrived to make herself one of the leading figures in the punitive expedition.
 This is not record of war but of suffering, so the main incidents of the campaign may be passed over without comment. It is one thing to whoop up preparedness" in a public meeting, but quite another to lead troops against the enemy. Burton had a

 John passed q full day prior to the meeting Tn the Convention hall. Some how. his name figured prominently In the new movement. and telegrams poured in on him from all parts of the country.
 Before the meeting began he was met by Rogers. who introduced an un- known lady as one deeply interested in the capture and punishment of Se- bastian Pancho. In the hurry of the moment John gathered only that she was Mrs. Madge Kerr, whose hus- band had been killed during small frontier affray which took place long before San Jose loomed into such prominence.
 She was very good-looking woman, young, attractively dressed, and nota- bly, elegant in her movements. Had Burton given thought to the mat ter. he would have decided that such an exotic must have been remarkably

 A new light dawned on her unhappy nearer.

 Burton groaned aloud. He almost reeled as he put hand to his eyes In vain effort to shut out the horrible reality. All, all, were false-friends, patriotic motives, even the most sa- cred name of womanhood. In that mortal hour how could he fail to be- lieve that Humanity was In the Grip of Evil?

CADILLAC WINS IN
 RACE AGAINST TIME
Daring Driver Makes Thrill ing Dash Over Mountain
 Roads

According to the account of the Ana conda Standard of Anaconda, Mont, the male inhabitants of that part of the country have enough red blood left to thrilled by a daring motor car dash against time. Moreover, the paper says they wagered thousands of dollars on the event.
 The car was a Cadillac eight. The man was Herbert Riley of Butte The The time was 3 hours, SS minutes and 3 seconds.
 Riley is known throughout that part of montana as a daring driver. When it became known that he was going after the record-made only a few days before-interest became intense, and wagers were laid in great numbers. The prvious rcord was made in the trans continental relay which carried an army message from Plymouth, Mass, to Seattle, Wash, and Riley's time beat it by 91a minutes.
 The run was not made without ex- citing incidents. A tire was punctured while the car was travelling Do miles an hour, throwing it broadside into a culyert. No serious damage was done and the men were unhurt. The car dropped into a pitch-hole in, the road hrea king the radiator hose connection which Riley's companion repaired tenn norarfly as the car was making 4o miles an hour. Riley made the last eight miles at slow speed, owing to flat tire. The Cadillac's best speed was 72 miles per hour, made on gooo stretch of road between Warm springs and Deer Lodge.
