The manne. ST making these arrests
was peculiar to ,lis cowboy police IF
the southwest. The plan was ,tat,
when the time to strike should cou:e,
operations should begin at the i:'tle
building without windows where the
ringleaders of the revoIutionists gath
cred. These should be arrested, none
being allowed to escape and give the
alarm. They should all be put into a
wagon, inclosed with white canvas
such as is common in the southwest
and which would attract no atten-
ton in passing through the streets.
This wagon, with two or three rang
ers aboard and others riding careless
ly near it, should then drive about Ell
Paso, picking up a man here and an
other there until all those wanted
were under the white canvas. So
was it planned that clean sweep of
the revolutionists should be made IN
manner of raid that might seem
queer to those accustomed to the
methods of metropolitan police but
which was Intended to accomplish it's
purpose.
But as far as Billy Gard was con-
cerned, the raid came near coming
too late. The position Of Gard, the
American special agent, in revolution
headquarters as Mexican conspira-
tor was never one of especial secur-
ity. There was the danger of his
identity being found out, which would
not only spoil his case but might re-
suit in personal violence being done
him as his associates were not men
to trifle with. There was the diff
Guilty of getting his information to
Archie Dobbs and thence to the de-
partment at Washington without this
connection being discovered. Finally
there was his part to be played in the
arrests.
Eventually the time came to strike.
General Reyes had disappeared from
San Antonio and was believed to be
fleeing for the Mexican border. The
order was issued from Washington to
intercept and arrest any Of the
Reyes party that might be found at
any border points The trap was to
be sprung at Ell Paso.
On that morning, December %, 1911,
Billy Gard reported at the windowless
building at ten o'clock. Doctor Flores
was there and was soon Joined by
Comacho, the dynamiter. Presently a
ranchman from Sonora was admitted.
Senorita CaldeTon was expected from
San Antonio with additional funds,
and Pena and other moving spirits
were to drop in.
"Is there any news from General
Herrera" Doctor Flores asked Gard.
That young man reported that the
Herrera troops would go over to Gen.

Thus did a special agent of the
United States become a member of a
Mexican revolutionary junta.
Through Gard the department of
Justice soon had all the particulars
of the Reyes revolution as far as they
were known to the Ell Paso junta. 1t
knew that the aged general had been
promised support from many sources,
that he had been provided with con-
siderable sums of money, that arms
hsd been bought in hundred lots from
dealers all along the border, that these
were being doled out to individuals
a given time and form the nucleus
Of the revolution. In, Ell Paso some
two hundred men had already been
thus provided. These men were be-
ing maintained at boarding houses
about town and were being handed
regularly small sums of money. Gard
met every day with the members Of
the junta and talked over the details
of these matters.
In the little building which had no
windows and which stood back Of
Doctor Flores house, Gard also met
the individuals who were the fire.
brands of the revolution. Red
Shirt" Pena was always there and was
steadily engaged in smuggling am
munition across the border. The peck
marked anarchist, Comacho, was ma
turing his spectacular plans. Senorita
Josefa Calderon, slim as cactus,
came now and then, with message
from Reyes or Orozco. Often she
brought large sums of money. Gard
once accompanied her to Juarez and
used all his charms in an effort to
develop a love affair with her, but in
vain. He afterward learned that she
was mourning a sweetheart who had
died in fighting Madero and was de-
voting herself to this cause in hope
Of revenge.
Toward the end of December the
plans for the revolution grew near ma

FOOD FAMINE remote
WORLDS RESOURCES ARE FAR IN
ADVANCE OF POPULATION.
United States Alone Could increase
Food Supply From One-Sixth
to TWo-Thirds.

Forecasting condition in the future
in which there will be too many peO-
pie in the world for the grain fields
and stock ranges to feed, the question
of a possible general shortage in hui
manity's market basket supplies has
received more than 100 years OF vo-
luminous consideration. Since the out
break Of the world war, probabilities
of food shortages have been discussed
more than ever before, but in respect
to definite and narrow geographical
limitations. Mr.. William Joseph
Showalter, in a careful study of the
worlds food supply, considering the
bulk production, it's distribution, and
the potentialities for increased pro-
duction, discounts present-day fears
of ultimate universal famine. OF the
bugaboo theory that general under
supply of foodstuffs is the menace of
the future, he has the following to
say in a study prepared for the Nation
al Geographic society at Washington:
"Many men are inclined to sound a
pessimistic note as to the adequacy
of the worlds food supply for future
generations, and, like Nautilus a hun
dred years ago, are inclined to predict
that the day has at last come when
the human race must cease to expand
it's numbers, or else face inevitable
hunger.
"And when we consider how many
mouths there are in this world to feed,
and how much food it takes to satisfy
them, little room is there to wonder
at this pessimism.
1.-THE earth's population today
reaches a grand total of about 1,70o,-
100000 souls. If they vera all set
down at banquet it would require six
teen tables reaching around the globe
to seat them. For every ounce OF
food they ate, the dinner-giver would
have to provide $4,000 tons of proVi-
sions, and if the dinner were no more
than a democratic dollar-a-plate affair,
it would cost, in the aggregate, as
much as it costs to run the United
States government year and a nalf.
Expressed in terms of annual con-
sumption, the worlds market basket
is one that defies portrayal in weight
and size. One IS forced to cast around
for new units of measurement to give
a proper idea of its proportions. AS
Stunning that the average inhabitant OF
the earth uses two pounds OF provi-

house at Nogales, and the consulate
at Laredo was to be blown up.
While Comacho was performing
these outrages, Red Shirt Pena was

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 fair mark. The object was to
at least create a 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 revoluticnists 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

"Pena is now on the street ready

afternoon Reyes will cross the Rio

At this moment a 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 revolution1st

The entrance of the visitor would
have been Of no great Importance but
for one fact-he was from Los An

LOS Angeles and a few of the men,
bers Of the revolutionary junta there
had learned his identity. The visitor
was one of that few. II Gard we're
recognized he would be exposed and

than two pounds; the Russian con-
script four pounds, and the Austrian
common soldier 21a pounds day.
"Still another way to get an idea of
the size of the worlds food problem
is to assume chat 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-stx months. For every cent
per day per capita that the cost of liv-
ing increases, more than $6,000,0 0O,-
900 is added to the worlds annual
market-baskey expense.

sibilities Of future food production, it
is difficult to have much faith in the
prophecies of pessimism of these

under cultivation. Yet, with less than

United States produces one-sixth of
the worlds wheat, seven-ninths of it's
corn, one-ftlurth of it's oats, one-eighth

one-twelfth of it's sheep.

had come in FROM the sunlight. TVS
eyes were not adjusted to the d"1t-
ened apartment and he therefore d>d
not recognize the special agent when
presented to him Approaching tae
reason for this lack Of recognition,
Gard made an excuse for going out
and approa ched the door. Flores
again sat with his back against it..
When the young man gave mis- excuse
for wanting to go the doctor waved
him aside and stated that be 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 stu
alton. He felt very sure that, as time
passed, the visitors eyesight would ad-
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 a 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, a
traitor! He is an agent of the per-
fidious United States. He is a 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 advanced>he 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 I could hope to be in.
If one CT you advances a step toward
me I will lre. 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 a spy, you shall die
and be fed to the buzzards,' Kissed
the dynamiter.
