U. s. MAY BUY UP
 ALL WEST INDIES
Lansing Tells Committee Such
 Step Might Be Desirable

Washington, Aug. 19.-Secretary of State Lansing told the senate foreign relations committee yesterday, in dis cussing the purchase of the Danish West Indies, that 1t might be desirable at some time In the future for the United States to buy all foreign pos sessions in that part of the world.
 MT. Lansing made this statement after being questioned at some length by members of the committee as to why the three little islands were SO valuable to the United States that this government should pay $25, 100000 in cash, approve concessions, and under take an annual cost of maintenance.
 His one answer was that their stra- tegic location made 1t desirable that they should not fall into the possession of any foreign country. As to the price, he said it was simply a ques- ton of whether the islands were want ed that badly or not.
 MT. Lansing was asked if the Mon roe doctrine would not absolutely pre- vent the seizure of the island by any foreign power or their transfer to any other foreign power. He replied that it might, but certainly title to the islands, such as would be acquired by their purchase from Denmark, would strengthen the position of the United States in defending the Monroe doc Urine.
 Other Islands in Question.
 Following up this theory, members of the committee inquired if under the same plan of protecting the Monroe do same plan of protecting Monroe doc Urine from the danger of being chal- lenged it would not be necessary to buy all the islands in the West In dies, and perhaps all foreign owned territory in that section of the world. It was pointed out to MT. Lansing that Great Britain and France own apprcx- 1 inlate1y thirty islands which might be said to have strategic position with regard to approaches to the Panama i canal.
 MT. Lansing denied that this neces- sc.rily followed, but commented that it l might be advisable, at sometime, to l acquire all foreign owned islands in 1 that region. The secretary was ques- 1 toned at length about the various con- sessions which this government is | asked to approve in the treaty of pur-
 chase. While he could no furnish ac- | curate details, he promised the com | mittee that he would obtain them as 1 speedily as pOSS1Dle. some or llell
 will necessitate cabling to Copenhagen, | it is said
 While the amount of opposition in | the senate to the treaty seems small,
 it appears to be growing, and there is
 some doubt today that the treaty will ! be ratified at this session of congress. i Most of the senators favor the idea of acquiring the islands, but they regard { the price as high, and the idea of con- | sessions to German corporations is | arousing some resentment.
 1 Fear that the United States would seize the Danish West Indies is the
 force driving Denmark to sell the isl
 ands to this country, Republican Floor , Leader Mann charged on the floor of | the house today.

TOWNS ISOLATED BY
 TROPICAL STORM FROM GULF

and loss of considerable army equip ment was reported. Fully 3O,OOO National Guardsmen and regular SOL diers, it was stated, were sleeping in public buildings in Brownsville last night. The guardsmen principally affected were those from Illinois, Iowa and Virginia. Their camps were either destroyed by the wind or flooded with water from a four and one-half inch rain.
 Last reports from Corpus Christi stated the storm had carried almost everything moveable before it, leav- ing in it's wake dozens of demolished summer cottages and doing thousands of dollars of damage in the business section.
 Other Towns Isolated.
 Other important places isolated by the hurricane included KingsVille, Sinton, Beeville, Harlingen and Alice.
 Port Lavaca reported a sixty mile wind with six foot rise in the tide, but little damage.
 The roof of a hotel was blown off and a motion picture theater de- stroyed at Fort O'Connor, but the in habitants had ample warning and reached places of safety before the storm struck.
 Governor Dunne of Illinois, who had been inspecting the Illinois guards mems camps in the Brownsville dis trict, left Brownsville for his home and apparently is maroOned on T train somewhere between Brownsville and Houston.
 Telephone communication was es- tablished this morning between Sinton and San Antonio. A train left Sinton at o'clock for Corpus Christi, thirty miles away.
 Te local telephone company had no wires to Corpus Christi but said re- ports received at Sinton indicated that while the damage was quite heavy there had been little or no loss of life in the coast resort.

had stepped on or thrust aside? He
heard the impatient pound of his
horses hOOfs Then all was quiet.
Still lie listened, not wholly satisfied.
He WIS never satisfied in regard to
safety; he knew too well that there
never could be safety for him in this
country. Certain he was now that
some kind Of danger threatened.
Suddenly there came IN unmistak-
able thump of horses hoofs off some
where TO the fore. Then Il scream rent
the air. 1t ended abruptly. Duane
Ieappd forward, tore his way through
the thorny brake. He heard Jennie
cry agatn-an appealing call quickly
hushed. 1t seemed more to his right.
and he plunged that way. He burst
into Il glade where a snOldering IRE
and ground covered with footprints
and tracks showed that campers had
lately been. Rushing across this. he
broke his passage out TO the open.
But he was too late. His horse had
disappeared. Jennie was gone. There
were no riders in sight. There was no
sound. There was a heavy trail OF
horses going north. Jennie had been
carried off-probably by outlaws.
Duane realized that pursuit was out
OF the questiOn-that Jennie was lost.

the scUurge of his thoughts. The mo-
ment he rode into sight of men a re-
markable transformation occurred in
him. A strange warmth stirred in him
"a longing to see the faces of people,
to hear their yoices-a pleasurable
emotion sad and strange But it was
only a precursor of his old bitter,
sleepleSS, and eternal vigilance.
Mercer was the first village he rode
into. He had many friends there.
Mercer claimed to owe Duane debt.
On the outskirts of the village there
was grave overgrown by brush so
that the rude-lettered post which
marked it was scarcely visible to
Duane as he rode by. He had never
read the inscription. But he thought
now of Hardin. For many years Hard
in had harassed the stockmen and
ranchers in and around Mercer. On
an evil day for him he or his outlaws
had beaten and robbed a man who
once succored Duane when sore in
need Duane met Hardin in the little
plaza Of the village, called him every
name known to border men, tainted
him to draw. and killed him in the act

Maybe the Captain wants to give

A little later a black horse with

who peered keenly into every shadow,
trotted down a pasture lane back Of

and then, breaking into swifter gait,
rapidly left Mercer behind.

CHAPTER XII.

Next morning Duane was off again,
working south. During the next few
days he paid brief visits to several
villages that lay in his path. And in
each some particular friend had a
piece Of news to impart that made
Duane profoundly thoughtful. A
ranger had made d quiet, unobtrusive
call upon these friends and left this
message, '"TeII Buck Duane to ride
into Captain MacNelly's camp some
time after night"
Duane concluded, and his friends all
agreed with him, that the new rangers
main purpose in the Nueces country
was to capture or kill Buck Duane,
and that this message was simply an
original and striking ruse, the daring
of which might appeal to certain out
laws.
But it did not appeal to Duane. His
curiosity was aroused; it did not, how
ever, tempt him to any foolhardy act.
He turned southwest and rode a hun
bred miles until he again reached the
sparsely settled country Here he
heard no more of rangers.
He got into rough country, rode fer
three days without covering much
ground, but believed that he was get
ting on safer territory. Twice he came
to a wide bOttom-land green with will
low and cottonwood and thick as
chaparral, somewhere through the
middle Of which ran a river he de-
cided must be the lower Nueces.
One evening as he stole out from
a covert where he had camped, he saw
the lights of a village. He tried to
pass it on the left, but as he mounted
a ridge he noted that the road made q
sharp turn, and he could not see wha t
was beyond it. He slowed up and
was making the turn, which was down
hill between high banks Of yellow
clay, when his mettlesOme horse heard
something to frighten him or SHE'D at
something and bolted.
