stated that the National Guard would be
kept in Texas indefinitely and the men,
restless under their enforced, and to their
way of thinking unnecessary, presence
along the border, took this means of ex-
pressing their opinion.
To show such open disrespect Of the
head of the war department is subversive
of military discipline. But it is not sur
prising guardsmen feel resentment at be-
ing kept away from their homes when
the necessity for their absence seems re-
moved. Many can i'll afford to be kept
away. Families of some of them are in
actual want. Employers are tiring OF
continuing guardsmen on their payrolls.
The talk by Secretary Baker of the
"bloodless victories" the men are win

quite bushes fails to impress them.
Things have progressed far enough to
make it possible to form some definite
idea as to how much longer the presence
of the National Guard along the border
will be required. Mr. Baker should be
able at least to approximate the date OF
the return of the troops to their homes.

He knew of such an instance nova

almost ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
He made his way across the crowded
docks to the gangway of the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
a quick look as countrymen of land
he knew.

on:
Listen. men," said he. There are
two spies here in the city, a man and
