Jane Reeves had not slept She sighed
and turned YEARLY upon her pillow.
How stin everything was-and yet
there were noises that had kept her
awake. Could she have imagined some

The wondered how many times she
had argued thus with herself since

In the first place she mad heard the
old clock downstairs ticking ODD
that in all the nights she had slept
in this house she had never noticed
that the ticking could be heard up here
with the door leading into the large
room from the hall shut, She knew
it was shut for Augustus had closed

but no, il could not have done that
for the latch was very secure In
deed the knob turned stlffiy. The
wind could not have opened the door
Yet the wind was blowing hard
enough 10 do almost anything. she
reflected as she listened TO the moan

and the dashing Of the rain against
of those queer noises were produced
( by the storm. There had not been
such another storm as this for months

MEXICAN LEADERS
FAVOR COMMISSION
INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS FOR
SETTLEMENT OF BORDER DIS
PUTE PROGRESSING.
Commission From Each Government
to Formulate a Plan Of Action for
the Permanent Relief Of Border
Conditions.

Washington negotiations
for settlement Of border disputes be.
tween the United States and the de
facto government of Mexico are pro
crossing favorably," Acting Secretary
Polk said on Wednesday after his sec
ond conference with Eliseo Arredondo.
Mexican ambassador designate.
Although Mr.. Polk would not add to
this statement, 1t is understood that
1t now is assured the steps being TAX
en- foreshadow appointment of commits
sioners by each government to formu,
late a plan of action for the perma-
nent relief OF border conditions.
Mr.. Arredondo has not disclosed
what his instructions are, but from
other sources 1t has been learned that
the commission plan was favored by
General Carranza and his advisers
and would not be opposed at the state
department. A formal announcement
Is expected soon.
Whether the question submitted to
the commission will follow the defni-
ton of the matters in dispute laid
down In General CarranZa's latest note
Is not known, although Secretary Ian
sings reply apparently accepted that
definition. The Mexican note said the
reasonable anxiety OF the United
States on the one hand over the Sc
curity OF It's borders and the feeling
of the de facto government on the
other that the continued presence of
American troops in Mexico menaced
friendly relations, constituted the
problem to which solution must be
found
There are no present indications
that commission would go into ques-
tions dependent upon these main is,
sues, but not directly involved in a
settlement. II is believed probable,
however. that the whole subject of in
ternal conditions in Mexico, including
tue financial stress there, would be re-
viewed to some extent with the posi-
BILE result of some more far-reaching
plan being proposed than one embrac-
ing border conditions only.
