was merely the gateway for a great
section of Mexico, and there was moth
ing on which to develop a substantial
metropolis. Yet until the outbreak of
the Madero revolution it was consid-
cradle of a town with its railway
terminal and its minor industries.
In those days it was no more wide
open than half a dozen towns on the
American side of the border. Most of
the wickedness was contributed by
Americans. The races were run by
American-owned horses and were man
aged by Americans. American tourists
crossed the international bridge in
large numbers every Sunday to see the
bull fights and to get a little of what
was called Mexican atmosphere.
After the Madero revolution, Juarez
was shot up often by different bands
of patriots calling themselves chiefs of
the revolutions, and so many of the
buildings were destroyed, or partially
destroyed, that it was rather a depress-
ing place. When Villa got full control
more life was given to it. Munitions
from the United States were shipped
from there south over the railways, and
for a while the representatives of his
American partners in the packing house
business made it their headquarters, as
we'll as numerous other American con-
cessionaires who stood in with Villa
The gambling house and other vice
concessions were controlled by Villas
brother, Hipolito.

Since Villas star began to sink it has
been the practice to refer to Juarez
under his administration as the Mex
lean Sodom and Gomorrah combined
and 1urid pen pictures have been draw n
of rampant vice. But it was Americans
who contributed a large share to the
vice. and Juarez under Villa, in spite
of the bad name given it, was not so
different from other Mexican towns
during the period of anarchy.
JuareZ in the past was the refuge of
numerous bandits and brigands, all
though many of them were ordinary
robbers and cattle thieves. They did

The es stt Of Mary Page

, would have been equally unconscious OF
the fact whether she or someone else
fired the fatal shot"
A long. uuivering gasp Of ineffabie re-
lief fIoated from Mary's pale lips at the
words. and two little flames Of hope and
excitement ieapt into her eyes. Here at
last was someone who believed-who un-
derstood-that she did not, could not re-
member what had happened after that
first horrible glimpse OF the drunkens
leering face of the man she hated.
Even Langdon had seemed at times TO
cherish vague doubts and had pressed her
cruelty to try to remember-even hazily-
the events that were a blank to her;
and in consequence the words of the great
alienist were balm to her aching heart
and seemed in truth wondrous vindica-
ton
But the flame of that dawning hope
melted the ice of numb endurance that
had for so long upheld her, and she was
drawn inevitably out of the hypnosis OF
stolid waiting into a sudden throbbing
agony of feeling and expectancy. Time.
which until now had seemed OF small i'm
portanee-minutes and hours alike falling
drearily into the abyss of eternity-be-
came suddenly a poignant factor. She

such a surprised note In her voice that
Langdon was perforce treasured. and
turned his attention again towards DR..

the badgering of the prosecutor.

the latter was saying sarcastically. "And
so you followed the life OF the defendant.
