even allowed her to handle the old in
strument, but tenderly, as though it
were an infant in arms. There was a
large intrinsic value to the instru-
ment on account of it's maker, age
and power of melOdiOUs expression.
Natalie, however, never thought of
selling it, especially when the violin
duly arrived with note from the law
yers of the estate, saying that Mr..
Warren had expressed the hope that
the cherished instrument would new
er go out of the family.
There. ensUed a period Of rare de-
light for Natalie after that The
sound of the violin made Kate angry
every time it struck her ear. There
was a little, old, vine-covered bower
at one end of the garden. Thither Ma
tale would go, and for hours would
draw sweet, plaintiVe melody from the
vibrant strings.
She was dreamily playing a caden-
"a one lonely afternoon when she
looked up, startled. On the other side
of the low fence stood a young man,
raptly listening to the echoing strains.
His eyes were Lit with devotion to
art, his lips trembled, his whole being
seemed permeated with the plaintive
yet thrilling appeal of the old instru-
ment.
"Oh," he cried, forgetting that he
was a stranger; "the divine music!
That instrument! It came surely from
one of the great masters. May look
at it? May I hold it, to know that for
a moment at least that I have had
possession of the very soul of ravish-
ing melody?"
His fine, statUesque face inspired
Natalie with confidence. She opened
the little garden gate. She welcomed
him as a brother in art. He took up
the violin with an air of rare devo-
ton and reverence. Then he began
to play. Natalie sat fascinated. He

They have placed me on a program

She regarded him with a tender
light in her eyes.
You will very careful of the in
strument?" she said.
81 will guard it with my life!" cried
the delighted enthusiast. ooh, how
can I ever repay you? And with your
presence at the concert 1 will bring
the very soul out of the violin"
Natalie sat entranced when Victor,
at the concert, began his solo num-
Der. All about her tense, strained
faces told of the general effect of the
beautiful music. The gifted player
was given an ovation, and the pleased
face of the orchestra leader told that
the fortune of the young ViOlinist was
assured.
Natalie had gone to the waiting
room when the program was finished.
Victor was to join her there and &C

scream startled her. The next in

AMERICANS BLOCK
PASSAGE OF TROOPS

Douglas, Ariz., May 3.-An attempt
of a body of defacto cavalry, the ad-
vance guard of General Arnulfo Co
mez, to enter Chihuahua, through Pull
pito pass. was blocked yesterday by
American troops, according to reliable
reports received here from American
sources.
The Mexicans, according to the re-
port, were under command of Colonel
Jesus Maria Aguirre, and had pene-
trated IS miles into the pass before
their movement was discovered by a
United States military aeroplane, which
reported the presence of the defacto
troops to the American commander.
The American troops are said to have
been drawn up In strategic formation
to hold the pass, and Colonel Aguirre
did not attempt to press forward, but
went into camp and dispatched mes
sengers to the rear, presumably to
communicate with General Gomez.
Colonel Aguirre's advance into Chi
huahua is believed here to have been
the forerunner of q general movement.
