breakfast before | start. And earnestly
ask you all to keep together while I'm
gone, and if possible find some safe place
and hide out in it, so that I.can have the
satisfaction of knowing that you'll be all
right in case she doubles back on me on
the trail and comes to town hunting for
you. OF course it ain't likely, but might
miss her in the hills, and she might take
advantage of my absence to raid the
town"
"You needn't worry any about missing
her, says Doc. "Old Tomas came in just
now, and says she camped right by Eagle
Rock, and is there yet. | don't know how
long she'll stay, but l guess you'll have
time to eat a little before you start, if you
hurry up about it,"
This information that she was still on
the job kind of flustered me for minute;
for one of the principal reasons of my
brave line OF conversation was the hunch
that, since she'd cleaned up so we'll yester-
day, she'd probably be hunting new fields
of activity by the time | got out looking
for her. I'd had quite an appetite for
breakfast before, but now somehow didn't
seem to care for it. But did manage to
eat bit, for it meant delay; and besides,
being in no hurry, felt that all hope of
missing her wasn't gone yet. There's lots
OF room to roam around all day in the
hills without going anywhere near Eagle
Rock
| dragged breakfast out as long as l
could without seeming to do it intentional;
but it came to an end at last, as all things
will, and there remained nothing to do
but start. So l got on my horse and
started.
EROM Burro Flats the road is visible
for aimile and half, so kept strictly
to the rbad for that distance. Just out of
sight of the town the trail to Eagle Rock
branches off to the right, and right there
was where l turned sharp to the left. And
l hadn't gone five hundred yards in that
direction when woman on horseback ap-
peared suddenly in the trail, with hand
kerchief mask all over her face, and gun
that looked as big as a twelve-bore pointed
at my stomach, and requested me to halt
and hold up my hands.
So | halted and put up my hands. And
| gave sigh of relief, for it had come at
last, as had been dreading it would, and
| was glad to get over the uncertainty of
it, which was making me nervous wreck.
Now it had happened, it would soon end,
the same as breakfast.
i Her next command was to lower my
left hand and drop off my gun-belt, and
ride away ten yards. l did so, and she
rode up and collected the gun. then was
made to get off my horse and turn all my
pockets inside out, emptying the contents
in pile on rock. They didn't make
much of show, and l was tempted to
apologize little.
"You see, ma am, says, "I'm on my
way to the station, and there's such
mighty tough outfit hangs out there al

in the safe at the saloon.
wanted to get in this allusion to the
safe in the saloon, hoping it might deter
her if she thought of paying Burro Flats a
visit; but right after I'd mentioned the
danger to valuables from tough outfit, |
knew I'd made mistake.
"That s," adds, "the men are tough

to make her big present like that on
such short acquaintance. She must have
been some attractive"
"She was," says Pete. II blush to ad-
nit it, but I'd done most anything for
that woman. She had some of the most
taking ways I've seen, and she sure used
EN-. There was something just naturally
irresistible about those big blue eyes over
the muzzle of that big blue gun, and it
struck me that presents would be mighty
acceptable. Wouldn't you have felt that
way yourself, sheriff."
"Yes," says the sheriff; al did,"
And beyond that he wouldn't say much
about the matter, except that he and the
Doc had separated in order to cover more
ground, and he didn't know what had be-
come of Doc since, and didn't give tar
nation. He was most as sensitive about
it as Ed Tobey, and got real ugly when l
suggested that probably he didn't under
stand women, and how they'd ought to
have stuck together, so one could grab her
while the other was interesting her in
pleasing conversation.
THAT girl was sure spending busy
little afternoon, for just before dark
in came Doc, and he'd also succeeded in
finding the lady without accomplishing
anything much to be proud about. 1t
looked as if she wasn't attempting very
hard to keep under cover, and willing to
accommodate most anybody who hap
pened to come out hunting for her. |

with the local talent over the bar, if |
hadn't been possessed with sort of ire
pressible sense of humor. The sight of all
those big men who had been held up in
one day by one poor little defenseless
woman bandit just naturally struck me
as funny and remarks to that effect kept
slipping into my conversation, no matter
the sake of trade. Then little things I'd
learned about women through my mar
riage-anh-divorce experience kept coming
into my mind, and often, before I'd
thought, I'd found I'd mentioned em.

tempers any, but somehow couldn't stop.
carried the thing too far at last, and
they rose up and combined against me
and broke three chairs putting me out
of my own saloon-after which they pro-
ceeded to lock and bolt me out perma-
nent. Then, being as there seemed
nothing else to do went over to Docs
room at the hotel and went to bed. l was
good and sore myself by that time, for it
didn't seem reasonable one little girl BAN
dit should make such lot of trouble, and
cause the destruction of three good chairs.
But in the morning found the saloon
in a reasonable state of preservation, with
more or less accurate account of the
liquor consumed pinned to the bar, which
was as it should be. And pretty quick
the crowd called on me in body, which
was also expected
"Look here" says the sheriff BY
cones is bygones, but certain aspersions
which you have east upon our regulations

as we recollect few boasts as to how you,
with your superior knowledge of things

little better from what we was doing yes

but we've called in a committee to request
you to go out and make those words good.

property in foreign country is en-
titled to and must be given the full
protection of the United States gov
eminent, both for himself and for
his property
After several years of 'watchful
waiting Secretary of State Lansing
sent letter to the head of the de
facto government of Mexico in which
occurs this remarkable language:
The progress of the revolution
in Mexico: Continuous bloodshed and
disorders have marked its progress.
For three years the Mexican republic
has been torn with civil strife; lives
of Americans and other aliens have
been sacrificed; vast properties de
Veloped by American capital and en-
terprise have been destroyed or rem
dered nonproduetive; bandits have
been permitted to roam at will thru
the territory contiguous to the Unit
ed States and to seize without pun
ishment the property of Americans
while the lives of citizens of the
United States who ventured to re-
main in Mexican territory or to re-
turn there to, protect their interests
have been taken, and in some cases
barbarously taken, and the murder
ers have neither been apprehended
nor brought to justice.
1t would be tedious to recount
instance after instance, outrage af-
ter outrage, atrocity after atrocity,
TO illustrate the true nature and ex-
tent of the widespread conditions OF
lawlessness and violence which have
prevailed. Not only were these
murders characterized by ruthless
brutality but uncivilized acts of mu
tilatton were perpetrated.'
This is the indictment of the Will
son administration in Mexico by its
own secretary of state"

"U. s. is AT WAR WITH MEXICO"

New York, Oct. 22.-Judge Advo-
cate General Crowder, United States
Army, has rendered a formal decision
holding that the United States is at
war with Mexico.
A decision was made necessary In
order to cover the legal procedure in
dealing with numerous incidents con-
nected with the punitive expedition
of United States troops into Mexico,
the nature Of these incidents and va
rious offenses committed by United
States soldiers demanding that the
Judge advocate generals office should
define the status of the Mexican
eampa .gn in that decision. The judge
advocate general quotes the defini-
ton of war in Vattels Law of Ma
tions as being that state of affairs
in which we prosecute our rights by
force.
The decision then recites:
1t Is thus apparent tnat under
law there need be no formal de-
ton Of war, but that under the
..f n4tion of Vattel state of war
.,xists, SO far as concerns the opera
tions OF the United States troops in
Mexico, by reason of the fact that
the United States is prosecuting its
rights by force Of arms and in man
ner in which war Is usually soon
Quoted. The statutes which are oper-
alive only during period of war
have been interpreted DIS relating
to a condition and not a theory.
II am therefore of the opinion
that while war is not recognized as
existing between the United States
and Mexico, the actual operations
under which the field operations in
Mexico are being conducted are those
of actual war; that within the field
of operations of the expeditionary
force in Mexico 1t is time of war
within the meaning of the fifty
eighth article of war, since 1t could
not have been intended that under
such conditions United States SOL
diers would be turned over to the
authorities of Mexico for trial"
The decision has been carefully
withheld from publicity. and there is
resentment on the part of the adj
ministration that 1t has reached the
public for it destroys the plea that
"he kept us out of war" workers
at republican national headquarters
say.
That naval officers mot officials OF
the navy Department. believe war
actually and legally exists between
the United States and faction in
