sions day, the total for the year
would amount to a billion and quar-
ter tons. It would require a string
of cars, carrying thirty tons to the
car, and reaching eight times around
the earth, to haul this material
'.The fact, however, is that the av-
erage inhabitant of the earth prob
ably uses more than two pounds OF
provisions day. The steerage pas
2 IL pounds each day. Even the
prisoner in the average jail gets more
than two pounds; the Russian con-
script four pounds, and the Austrian
common soldier 27a pounds day.
ssStill another way to get an idea OF
is to assume that the average individ-
ual consumes ten cents worth Of food
daily. On this basis it would require
the entire national wealth of the
United States, the richest nation OF
all history, to pay the worlds food bill
for twenty-six months. For every cent
per day per capita that the cost Of liv-
ing increases, more than $6,000,00O,-
900 is added to the worlds annual
market-basket expense.
''But when one considers the pos
sibilities of future food production, it
is difficult to have much faith in the
prophecies of pessimism Of these
twentieth century successors of NAL
thus For instance, in the United
States we have 935,000,000 acres Of
arabic land, 4OO,000,OOO of which are
under cultivation. Yet, with less than
half Of our available land utilized, the
United States produces one-sixth Of
the worlds wheat, seTen-ninths of it's
corn, one-fourth Of it's oats, one-eighth
of it's cattle, one-third of its hogs, and
one-twelfth of it's sheep.
Gwen with the land now under cul-
tivation, if we produced as much
wheat per acre as England and Ger
many, we could supply the world with
two-thirds of its flour. If we pro-
duced as much corn to the acre as
they do, we could double the worlds
supply of that product.
To-day the United States has q
total cereal crop of 5,000,000,O00 BUSH
els. Were all of our arabic land un-
der cultivation and producing only
according to our present standard.
which is less than half as high as
that Of western Europe, we could add
enough cereals to take care Of an adj
ditional population the size Of that
Of Europe.
"When one has lived on land, as the
writer has done, which, at the end or
the Civil war, did not produce more
than eight bushels Of wheat and 20
bushels of corn to the acre, and has
seen this land produce as high as 10
bushels of wheat and a 100 bushels
corn, it is difficult to take any other
than an optimistic view of the posi-.
bilities of American agriculture. Z

Mother Of Mary, we have been be-
trayed," almost sobbed the little doc
tor.
It may not be as bad as it seems"
argued Gard, talking against time.
"The four OF you should be able to
get me If you insist on shooting it
out. l will get one or two of you,
however, and the police will get the
rest. I would suggest that it would
be wiser for you to let me back slow
ly out Of that door and that you all
beat it for Mexico"
The little doctor stiffened stubborn
ly against the one exit, but before this
proposition could be seriously consid-
cred there came loud rapping at
the door, The noise of it sounded as
though it were made with the butt OF
revolver. The Mexicans present
stood transfixed with fear. The knock
ing was repeated with greater vigor.
Then drawing Texas voice sang
out:
ooh, you greasers, lift the latch.
This amt no way to treat visitors"

Gard, who recognized the voice of the
ranger chief. "This bunch is half cap
tured already
Then came the creaking of door
hinges as though great weight was
being thrown against them and, final
ly, a mighty crash. AS the door came
in nothing could be seen but the

Few other things will stop bullets like
cotton mattress and it is therefore
an excellent breastwork in an attack
which is likely to be met by bullets
fired through door. This was not
the first time such an object had been
used in ranger strategy.
Presently the head of ranger
peered cautiously around the mattress
and request for parley was made.
The Mexicans decided upon discretion
and surrendered without a fight. Gard
was thus relieved of a very delicate
situation
The four prisoners from the win
white-topped wagon. 1t moved on un-
ostentatiously to other parts of the
city and around it the ranger dragnet
frightened. RED Shirt Pena was
found in the act of boarding street
car to cross the bridge into Juarez.
He made fight but ranger floored
him with blow from big forty-five
six-shooter In two hours fifteen of
the ringleaders of the FL Paso revolu-
tionists were behind prison bars and
any expedition that might have been
launched in this vicinity was leader
less.
At Brownsville similar dragnet
had operated at about the same time.
General Reyes himself succeeded in
getting across into Mexico. But the
leaders from the American side had
been discouraged and failed to fol-
low him even where they were not
under arrest. The Mexicans did not
rally to the aged generals cause after
he entered his native land, as had
been expected. Discouraged and
heartbroken he. surrendered to the
Madero authorities a few days later
at the little town of Linares, and his
revolution was at an end.

ing was very dim and the stranger
had come in from the sunlight. His
eyes we're not adjusted to the dark
eneds apartment and he therefore did
not recognize the special agent when
presented to him. Approaching the
reason for this lack Of recognition,
Gard made an excuse for going out
and approached the door. Flores
again sat with his back against it.
When the young man gave his excuse
for wanting to go the doctor waved
him aside and stated that he desired
that he should hear the report Of the
man from Los Angeles. Gard dared
insist only to- reasonable extent.
Doctor Flores would not hear of his
departure Quietly he settled into
the remotest and darkest corner.
The man from Los Angeles began
to tell Of the part he had played in
lighting the fuse that was about to
start revolution. His remarks were
addressed to Doctor Flores and to
Comacho, the dynamiter, an associate
of his. The man in the corner was
given little attention. But as the
takers vision became adjusted to the
darkened, room, he turned his glance
occasionally in the direction of the
special agent.
That young man sat as one hypno-
tized with the possibilities of the situ-
alton. He felt very sure that, as time
passed, the visitors eyesight would adj
Just itself and he would be recognized.
His mind ran ahead and saw the scene
that would then be precipitated. The
thrill of it held him taut, ready for
any emergency.
It was the third time that the eye
of the visitor passed him that it lin
gered moment questioningly, and
passed on. He looked at the dynamiter
during long explanation of some prep
aration and then his glance again re-
turned to Gard. By this time his eye
sight had become entirely readjusted.
He started forward, mouth agape.
He sprang to his feet He pointed an
accusing finger at the special agent
and fairly screamed:
by the Holy Virgin, spy,
traitor! He is an agent of the per-
f1dious United States. He is detec-
tive, an informer. / knew him in Los
Angeles. He peeped into our windows
and stole our papers. He has already
betrayed you and the cause"
A vile oath was ripped from the
throat Of the pock-marked dynamiter.
The nervous little doctor sprang to
his feet and started as if to spring
at the throat of the special agent.
But as he advancedehe found himself
looking into the muzzle of big Amer
lean pistol He recoiled.
Don't make great mistake said
Gard. what this man says may be
true and it may not. Granting that
it is true I am then in the best posi-
ton right now ] could hope to be in.
If one Of you advances a step toward
me / will fire. None Of you dare fire
upon me as the shots that would fol
low would expose you. Now sit tight
and talk business. What do you pro-
pose to do about it?"
"Gringo pig of spy, you shall die
and be fed to the buzzards," Kissed
the dynamiter.

with relation to the American customs
house at Ncgsles, and the consulate
at Laredo was to be blown up.
While Comscho was performing
these outrages, RED Shirt" Pena was
to be busted in the fine art Of murder.
The sheriff of Ell Paso, Juan Ortego.
and Archie Dobbs were the men
against whom the capacities of Pena
as a killer were to be directed. But
failing these he was to run amuck and
DO whatever damage he could. Any
representative of the American army,
any Madero official, was to be regard
ed as a fair mark. The object was to
at least create great sensation to
advertise the new revolution, and pos
sibly to bring about intervention. At
any rate the border should be aWak-
ened.
With all this information in hand
the United States authorities were
ready to act. They wanted, however,
to time their coup in such way as
to have the most discouraging effect
possible upon the revolutionists. With
this idea in mind they postponed max
ing arrests until the last moment
The revolutionists were to be taken
into custody by Captain Hughes of
the Texas Rangers. There were some
fifteen of the active plotters that
should be arrested and the Ranger
force was the best fitted agency on
the border to cope with these. Every
man was known to the Rangers and
all were being kept pretty wax To-
Gated.

eraI Reyes as soon as his forces start
ed into the interior.
"And is senior, the dynamiter, ready
to perform his service to the cause
of liberty?" asked the doctor Of Co
machO.
"The noise we will make will be
heard from Tia Juana to Brownsville"
responded that inf1ammatory and en-
thusiastic individual.
''Pena is now on the street ready
to strike" stated the leader. This
afternoon Reyes will cross the Rio
Grande and, pish! the powder will be
ignited."
At this moment careful knock was
heard at the one entrance to the
rendezvous, and the doctor, who al
ways sat with his back against this
door, opened it an inch. He recOg-
nized the man outside and welcomed
him. He ushered him inside and be-
gan his presentation to those already
assembled. He was a revo1utionist
from Los Angeles who had but just ar
rived.
The entrance Of the visitor would
have been Of no great Importance but
for one fact-he was from Los An
geles. Gard had done much work in
Los Angeles and a few Of the mem
bers of the revolutionary junta there
had learned his identity. The visitor
was one of that few. If Gard were
recognizedr he would be exposed and
in this desperate company would be
in a delicate position.
