CHAPT Err XIV.

Merkle found his chauffeur just clos
ing the garage door, and three minutes
later his car was sweeping westward
through the park like the shadow OF
some flying bird. The vagueness, the
brevlty of the message that had come
to him out OF the night made 1t terribly
alarming. Jarvis Hammon's financial
interests were In no condition TO with
stand Il shock; for long time many
OF them had been under fire. He had
committed his associates 10 a program
of commercial expansion, never too Sc
cure even under favorable conditions,
and one moreover. which had pro-
voked tremendous assault from rival
steel manufacturers. Now. with Ham
mon himself stricken at the crisis Of
the struggle. there was no telling what
results might follow.
But Merkle's apprehensions were by
no means purely selfish. Harmon and
he had been friends for many years;
they shared a mutual respect and af-
lection, and although Merkle was emil
nently practical and Unconditional. he
prayed now as best he could that
Harmon might not be grieyously In
1urad.

Wounded Villa Men
a dispatch received today from colonel
Nieto Macia at Pearson stated that Villa
carried large number of wounded with
him in wagons through Galeana. The
mormons at Casas Grandes. he said, feel
secure and have no desire to be taken
out of the country. He also confirmed
the news of the safety of Mrs. Wrights $

the Cornes Wales ranch.
Close Censorship
No information reached here today as
to how soon movements in force might
be expected. General Funstons announce

awaiting only the placing Of adequate
border patrols did not serve to clear up
the question of when the troops will en-

fectvely concealed their preparations for
maintenance of a secondary line for pa
