During the last act Of the matinee on

Merkle. 1.-THE Judge" led him to her
dressing room, then shuffied away,
leaving him alone with her and Mrs.

familiarity with these surroundings.

ferred not to telephone" He looked
meaningly at Croft; and Lorelei, inter-
preting his glance, sent the dresser
from the room on some errand. "Well,
the game worked" said Merkle. MRS.
Harmon has left home and COM

Miss Lynn had set out to ruin Jarvis

Most mothers deserve all the
love and kindness their children
can bestow on thern, but occa-

be Justified in seeing her moth

"What did they-want?" The girl
was still smiling, but her lips beneath
the paint were dry.
'sThey felt that l had-er-involved
you in a great deal of notoriety. From
what they said I judged that you
shared their feelings" He paused awk-
wardly once more, and she motioned
him to continue. 1--WE didn't get on

averted her face, for she could not
bear to meet his frank eyes.
"Yes-what considered great deal
Of money. / understood they repre-
scented you. They didn't insist, how
ever; they offered me a choice"
"Choice! OF what?"
"Well-I inferred that marriage
would undo the wrong I had"
"Oh-hv' Lorelei rose with gasp.
Bravely she stilled the tremor Of her
lips. "Tell me-the rest"
/ "There isn't much more. Your moth

Merkle showed his teeth in mirth-

"Please-leave me, and-let me
think this over. I must do something
quickly, or-I'll smother"

"But I am not the one to give it.

Eyes? Why"
Because I'm going to leave home"
Lorelei's head was up, and she spoke
with note of defiance.
'"Then perhaps can do something.",
He seated himself again. "You ~
need money"
"Oh, no. have my salary and the
other revenues you know about. /

"Work won't hurt you, but why

Prosperous Little Towns Al
ways In Danger Of Raids.
ASHURST EXPLAINS IN FULL
Arizona Senator Would Establish q
Zone In Mexico and by S%tstioning
Sentries There Make IL Impossible
For the Bandits to Surprise Ameri-
can Towns.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, April Especial ITO
the people of the Mexican border the
raiding bandits are n reality. The
peaceful people along 1900 miles OF
border on the United States side have
reason TO be uneasy on ccoun of con
d%itions. and they have been asking
their senators and representatives to
secure protection.
Senator Ashurst OF Arizona explain
ed the situation I'm n recent conyersa-
ton. "As In all parts OF the United
States" he said, there are scattered
along the border many cities and
towns. some of good size and others
smaller. All of them are prosperous,
some with banks and all with mercan-
tile establishments, and there are large
quantities of those supplies which are
wanted by the bandits who infest Mex
leo. Those towns are all the time In
danger of raiders, for no one can say
at what moment n gang Of Mexicans
will appear and rush across the border
and make an attack.
Hungry and Desperate.
"These rowing bands are hungry and
desperate. Their horses are worn out.
they are without supplies. BY n short
raid they can ecure arms, ammuni-
ton, horses. flour, bacon, sugar, salt
and all the other supplies carried in
stores. and where there are banks they
n secure money. 1t is natural that n
leader of a gang of 200 or 800 desper-
ate men Is not going to hesitate when
plenty can be obtained by a bold dash
upon an unprotected town even IL 1t IL
:n another country.
There is no method by which Amer
leans can protect themselves unless a
sufficient number of troops Is station
ed along the border to patrol 1t. But
that is not feasible. Men living In
the towns raided would simply sacrifice
their lives for nothing If they offered
resistance to the raiders. Those ban
dts shoot down every person they see.
After a few hours I'm a town they ride
away with their spoils."
Will Not Consider q Zone.
Senator Ashurst wanted our govern.
ment to establish q zone on the Mex.
lean side into which no Mexicans
would be permitted. People who live
In the border states believed that
one way In which the Americans could
be protected would be by ESTABLISHING
a line beyond the border into which the
armed bands of Mexicans should not
come BY a system OF sentries 1t would
be possible to notify American authori
ties when raiders appeared.
