fragrance about her, but she would
not pause. She was bent upon the
tragedy waiting for her in the deep
ravine toward which the express train
was plunging as il in obedience TO
her summons.
The cries OF Gloria. who pursued
her frantically, came to her like the
voice OF conscience. She had never
needed that voice and she would not
harken TO il now. She had trodden
the primrose path OF dalliance and il
had led her forth into the glare Of
exposure. She would not endure the
shame. II seemed better TO her ir-
responsible soul to run away from
self-denial. She had not cared what
laws of fidelity she broke and she
did not care now what hearts she
might break. Her husbands furnished
honor: her fathers blighted career,
did not win thought from her.

things even as she followed. Gloria
felt more guilt than Lois, for Gloria
had confronted Lois with the proofs
OF her perfidy, never fancying that
Lois would answer the charge by
Furnishing herself with the same reck-
lessness that had marked her sin.
As she saw Lois running toward
death with eagerness, she understood
for the first time that It was in Lois
character TO do everything passions
ately. She realized that Lois had
always been Lois, and that her fault

Rlancing back for last look at the
beautiful earth she was about to

She rose again at once and sped

Doubt About Puyport
OF The Cupyuusa Note
tey international News servioc.)

(1y International News SerViee.)
Washington, Aug. "a great deal
of doubt appeared To exist in official
circles today as TO wether the MeSi-
can note. received yesterday, fully
answers the suggestions of the Unit
ed States that the scope of the pro-
posed joint commission be enlarged
to deal with Mcxicos financial prob
lem.
Many officials said they believed
that the note did not answer the ques
ton, aud that this government should
direct another inquiry to Mexico.
Others expressed the opinion that the
Mexican note could be construed to
mean that Mexico believes the com
mission could exercise wide powers.
These officials asserted that II was
unlikely that another note would be
sent TO Carranza. and that this gov.
crnment would probably name its com
missioners at once, and its place of
meeting would be decided upon.
Definite lewiston as To the note will
rest with President Wilson himself,
lie has moi yet seen the note. When
II was delivered TO the state dpart-
ment II was in Spanish, and had to be
translated. That work had not been
completed today, but IL was expected
it would be by tonight The note
will be on the presidents desk when
he returns from his weekend cruise
on the Mayfower. The president Is
expected to consult his cabinet at the
