Der of last year. after the seventeen year old son had been killed, but these captives were released last month when the Indians were forced to aban- don one of their many water holes upon the unexpected approach of a vastly superior force of Mexican troops.
 Want of food and clothing cause the Indians to make their forays, and for this reason the productive lands of the American settlement south of the Yaqui river have been subjected to many costly incursions, which have laid waste most of that region and forced the majority of the settlers to abandon their farms and return. in many cases penniless. to the United States.
 Late information indicates that the Indians are now operating to the northward in the vicinity of Ortiz, a small town on the Southern Pacific railroad, 90 miles north of Guaymas.

The dogs were shipped from Juneau on one oi the last boats by a friend in that city The pups have good strong lungs and have made themselves heard around the vicinity of the Windsor Hotel, and from the sound one would naturally come to the conclusion that the Doc and George had received a pack of malamutes instead of the thorough bred article.

YAQU| INDIANS SIMILAR TO
 APACHE

GUAYMAS, Sonora, Mexico, July g.. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press) - Reports from outlying dis tricts indicate renewed activity on the part of the Yaqui Indians. This has been anticipated by those familiar with conditions in Sonora because the campaign inaugurated by the de facto government in January for the pur- pose of ridding the country of the Va quis has not as yet been a success.
 Approximately eleven thousand troops were mobilized under General Dieguez to drive the Indians from their strongholds in the Bacatetebe mountains, but the soldiers were poor ly equipped for the undertaking. They lacked discipline, organization and spirit, and although the Mexican gov ernment may have desired an aggres- sive campaign, the local leaders and men had no intention of taking the offensive against the savages whose fighting ability is we'll known through out the republic. Like the Apache tribes of Arizona, the Yaquis have committed the most fiendish atroci- ties. For this reason the troops fear to operate against the warriors.
 The strength of the Indians is not accurately known, but 1t is estimated as being about ten thousand, of which approximately four thousand are well armed fighting men. This force gen. orally operates in bands. of fifty to one hundred or more, which make swift and unexpected raids upon out lying ranches and villages during the harvest season and at other times if their food supply happens to run low, as is the case at the present time. Spies are maintained throughout the farming districts, who keep the tribe we'll informed and assist in the raids.
 The Indians dress as do the peons, with shirt and trousers of faded blue denim or khaki, usually the latter, as it is more earily procurable, for many Yaquis have served in the revolution ary armies. A large straw hat, not unlike that worn by northern farmers, with brim turned down, protects them from the sun and conceals their iden- tity when necessary; and their feet are protected from the rough country by leather sandals--guarachos as they are called.
 This similarity of garb makes it difficult even for Mexicans to distin- guish parties of Indians from troops of the de facto government, and as a result the bands have been able to enter towns before their identity was discovered. For example, the town Dl SauZ, SOuOTdS was Tdlueu last yOdi' The inhabitants saw the mounted body approaching with trumpets flourish ing and drums ruffling, but 1t was thought that an expected detachment of troops was arriving. Not until the Indians were actually in the town was it realized what had happened. Men, women and children were forced out of their homes and driven to the town plaza, where all were stripped. Ter rified and helpless they stood while the savages packed the clothing, footed the houses, gathered in the horses and mules. and rode off un- molested with four of the young girls.
 The Mexican wife and family of an American, John Lehr, were carried off by the Indians during a raid upon the town of Suaque Grande during Novem-

he had had no word of any kind from
Miss Hoyt, and, though | was sorry for
him, yet for myself was glad. l could
not help it. After all, we were man and
man, and had played fair.
After a while he went away, and | had
begun to wonder what was keeping Tai
when he arrived, announcing elatedly that
Rosser would see us at once at the Hoyt
house. 1t was there Tai located him after
considerable difficulty, and he had agreed
to wait.

at the same time also took the car with us.
And at Fifty-ninth Street, where we got
out to transfer he got out too.
"This is too SLOW" said to Tai and
hailed a passing taxi. But, to my vexa-
ton, as we piled into it Tai sung out the
Hoyt address so loudly that the man,
lingering near us, must have heard; and
when we turned off Fifth Avenue into
Eightieth Street cab just behind ours
turned off also. 1t stopped farther down
the block, and, though we were kept
waiting minute or two at the Hoyt door,
no one had got out of it when we were ad-
mitted.
NOW, it is one thing to be shadowed
when you know who is doing it and
why, but quite another when you do not.
All the unexplained features of the case
surged back to my mind, particularly that
telephone conversation l had overheard
at Hillside. And the conviction grew
that, behind all knew, something was
going on Of which l knew nothing, could
guess nothing, yet in which was some-
how involved.
Added to this was feeling of strange
ness on entering the home of Roberta
Hoyt. The number on the door recalled
so vividly the occasion on which had
heard it first How different was this
visit from the one had then anticipated!
MIR. Rosser was waiting for us. He was
thin, wiry old man, with a lot of white
hair and pair of the shrewdest eyes l
ever saw. When he had given me the
once-over felt as if he had been through
my pockets and my brain-cells as well.
He seemed perfectly willing to discuss
the will; but, just as we We're seated and
he was about to begin, servant appeared
to say that he was wanted on the tee-
phone.
you'd have to start early to get ahead
of him, Tai remarked in whisper, while
he was gone.
The call was evidently short. In
couple of minutes Rosser was back.
"The will of Robert Hoyt is very simple,
though unusual, he observed, reseating
himself. at was designed by an unusual
man for an unusual purpose. l advised
against it, because it is my belief that for
the dying to attempt to regulate the lives
of those they leave behind almost always
ends disastrously. But he was not to be
dissuaded. An only child himself, he had
ardently desired large family, but had,
as you know, but one child. The death of
his son was grief from which he never
recovered, and he was pathetically de-
voted to his granddaughter, who lost her
mother also in infancy. The sole object
of his will was to achieve her happiness;
and happiness, especially for woman,
was in his opinion not to be found outside
normal living-family life and children,
the more the better. Consequently, as
Roberta grew up showing no inclination
toward domesticity, it worried him great
ly, and in his final illness he determined
to secure her welfare-against her own
will, if necessary. The marriage clause
was the result.
"What were the other provisions of the
will?" Tai asked.
"The usual sort of thing: bequests to
relatives and servants, an allowance for
Miss Hoyt until she reached the age of
twenty-one or married, and an allowance
to Mrs. Otison in consideration of her
services as companion and chaperon,
which allowance was to continue after

the whole estate is to go to the institu-
tions you spoke of"
Possibly, replied Mr.. Rosser, calmly
examining his well-cared-for nails. "But
do not know what becomes of the estate
in that event-nobody knows yet The
will provides that in that case the income
shall be shared by the aforesaid institu-
tions for the period of one year, at the end
of which time certain sealed letter shall
be opened and the estate disposed of ac-
cording to its instructions.
ooh, murmured Tai, with blank look
at Rosser. "And no one living has any
idea what those instructions are?'
mo one. The letter was written and
sealed by Mr.. Hoyt, then given to me,
and by me was deposited in bank vault.
Odd as the arrangement may seem at
first thought, it had sound reason back of
it. Mr.. Hoyt feared that, should he make
known the disposition of his estate in the
event of its forfeiture by his grand
daughter, the knowledge might lead, di- -
rectly or indirectly, to such forfeiture"
"You mean that whoever was to get it
might try to prevent Miss Hoyt from
marrying"
Exactly"
"But the general impression seems to be
that the money is to 60 to charity"
There was pause, and again the old
man fell to contemplation of his finger-tips
"The supposition is natural, since the
wording of the will seems to indicate
plainly that neither Miss Hoyt nor Mrs.
Otison will benefit; butt is merely a
supposition."
He rose as signal that the interview
was over, and after few remarks on other
aspects of the case, we thanked him and
departed. Tai being in hurry to get to
the Office, we picked up the first available
taxi, and he put in the time chattering
about his theories and suspicious, while l
tried vainly to fit in this fresh information
with what already knew.
1T was nearly midnight when Tai came
into the Cecil and announced to me
disgustedly that the story he had got from
Miss Hoyt's maid would not be published.
1t had been stopped by an appeal from
Rosser to the judgment-seat of the Record.
what do you know about that?" Tai
grumbled. Didn't l say you'd have to
slait carly w Set dnedu vi tHdU Olu SER
pent? I'll bet he knows what's in that
sealed letter. And I'll bet he knew when
we were there about that woman coming
here and seeing us.
"But how could he?" asked; and, even
as l spoke, the answer flashed into my
mind.
1t was Rosser who was having me
shadowed. His man had passed the door
of the reception-room while the French
woman was there, had reported the fact,
had then followed us to the Hoyt house,
and had at once called Rosser on the
telephone to tell who we were
But why was Rosser watching me?
Had Mulrooney recognized me, after all,
and gone to him? Or had he got his infor-
nation from another source? Was he
part of that unknown background which
sensed but could not see?

she has not written to me, since the man
you have had watching me has been
through all my letters"
"What!" He gazed at me blankly.
"The man I've had watching you? What
do you mean?"
Haven't you and Rice been having
me trailed?"
"My dear fellow!" He stood up, his
face reddening. "Whatever do you take
us for? We look upon you as friend.
I'm in your debit"
studied his face. His honesty was
transparent.
"Then who is it?" demanded. Some
body has been at my heels. And it began

night, didn't hep
"Yes; but it would never have occurred
to us to"
"Then who is doing it?"
II have no idea, Terrill. give you my
word"
l walked the floor, trying to think
calmly, though l was greatly excited. I
did not doubt Farnham; yet, if he and
Rice were not behind the man who was
watching me, who was? Not Rogers nor
Mulrooney. Their spying had ended with
their pumping of the telephone operator.
Besides, was all but sure Mulrooney had
never recognized me-unless-
"Did you or the doctor ever get that
cabman, Mulrooney, to identify me?" I
questioned Farnham.
He shook his head.
@Did either of you tell Mr.. Rosser about
me, or Mrs. Otison, or anybody"
mo; we did not feel at liberty to do
that. We hoped you would speak of your
own accord-the other night at dinner"
"This thing knocks me fiat; I've got to
get to the bottom of it," | persisted.
"You're sure, you say, that Rosser doesn't
know about me?'
"Oh, no-I said we didn't tell. He may
know it, however. But have not COM
municated with him since the morning
after Miss Hoyts disappearance was made
public. The meeting was not pleasant"
The final statement and his constrained
quick surprise.
II may as well be frank, Terrill, though
| speak in confidence, of course. Mr..
Rosser did not approve OF Miss Hoyts
engagement to me. He objected to me,
not as a man, but as foreigner Her
fortune, he said, had been made in Amer
lea by an American, and should stay in
the country. But it wasn't her money |
wanted-though dare say no one would
believe that"
II believe it, Farnham."
@Thanks. Well, when Rosser got back
from Europe and heard from Mrs. Otison
of Miss Hoyt's disappearance, he heard
also that the engagement had been broken,
and why-Winter's version. And when
we met the next day it was most unpleas-
ant, and we haven't met since"
@I see," l said; and, while | mentally
pursued my own point, he went back to
his troubles.
HE looked worried enough-nerves on
= edge, suspense, no sleep, and all that.
1t was so fantastic, so incredible-the
pawning of the jewelry, her meeting
with me, then silence.
"If she asked you to tea, she meant to
