that the authorities would not be re-
sponsihle for injuries sustained by
persons using the unmetaled part of
the road. and another sign at the top
of the hill described it truthfully as
dangerous to cyclists. Dolly, %ncverthe-
less, scaled it without loss of breath.
She had been on her feet since 6 i'll
the morning, but she knew no better
how to feel tired than the unfortunate
Hams how to shiver and shake. Near
the top was a gate and q stile and q

into a black smallpox of heaps that
were presently to be strcWn over the

sympathetic triumph in watching his
fruitful acres.
She presently witnessed a touching
scene At a stones throw beyond the
next bend stood n solitary cottage.
and from tho cottage came wandering
a stray angel. aged three. With blue
ayes and golden curlS and a brow of
smutty pearl. The angel progressed

Dolly to say in her chillieSt tones:

she was strong and supple and des-
perate, but Noel Farquhar's arms
closed round her like a snakes con-
stricting folds. Though the cottage
was within earshot Dolly would have
died sooner than call for help. She
went on fighting. and when he drew
her down she turned her face away.
Cselessly; I'arquhar's hand was laid
against her cheek. and he bent her
face to his. They looked into each

all tire-and then he kissed her.
Once only. He had sufficient self
control to let her go when he had
kept his word. Dolly pulled out her
handkerchief to brush it away. If she
had a knife she would have used it
against him, yet behind her anger
there was an unwilling respect. That

BRITISH BILL AGAINST
MEXICO WILL BE LARGE

London, Sept. S.-That Great
Britain's bill against Mexico for the
murder of her nationals and the de-
struction of property and trade will
be a formidable one, is certain, as is
also the fact that 1t will be presented
for payment through the United
States. All big Mexican interests here
show a significant hesitation in dis
cusstng the matter. holding that the
neg rotations are at present at criti-
cal stage. For instance. a representa-

Washington. Sept. 8.-The first ses-
sion of the Sixty-fourth Congress ad-
journed today without demonstration,
and with nothing approximating a
quorum in either house. Every train
leaving the capital last night and this
morning was loaded with statesmen
hastily returning TO their homes TO
enter upon their own campaigns for
reelection or take the stump in sup
port of their respective presidential
tickets.
The most interest was manifested
at the Senate end of the Capitol.
where the President came early TO his
private room and signed about forty
bills that in the stress OF circum-
stances could not be delivered on
time to the White House.
The usual committees appointed by
the two houses waited upon the Presi-
dent 70 inform him Congress was
ready to adjourn and to find II he had
any further communication to make.
The members of the committee were
congratulated upon the approaching
adjournment and as the President
had nothing to communicate, both
houses were so informed and adjourn

MEXICAN EXPEDITION
COST MANY MILLIONS
VIII Cost Government More Than
5000 900 to Bring Guardsmen
Back

Washington. Sept SIT was unof-
1ctally estimated at the War Depart
ment today that the Mexican expedi-
ton and the assembling of the Ma
tional Guard at the border has cost
the government s15,oo0,0o0 a month.
This average cost per month, it was
stated. began Immediately after the
Columbus raid last March. 1t was
stated also that 1t will cost the gov.
eminent more than 5000 to return
to their home States the 5000
guardsmen ordered demobilized yes
terday. The expense, including food
as we'll as transportation and extra
accommodations for officers. averages
three cents per mile per man.
The same cost 1t was said must be
paid for the transportation to the
border of the many regiments which
duty, and who will go soon This
will make the sending of these regI-
ments to the border and back cost
something over 100000.
There is wide difference Of opin-
ion in the War Department over the
fate OF Pancho Villa Some high
officers insist he Is dead. They say
that no authentic report OF him has
been received in more than three
months. They believe he was wound
ed in one of the engagements with
American troops. dropped out Of line

ton Of the National Guard. 1t is ex-
