Field Headquarters Of General
Pershing, Chihuahua, April 3.-De-
livering a second surprise attack,
American cavalry again has routed
the main force Of Villistas, killing
between thirty and forty in a run
ming fight of thirty miles. At last
reports the Americans were still hot
on the trail of the demoralzed BAN
dts. There were no American
casualties. Details Of the fight were
brought TO General Pershing to-day
by two Mexican ranchmen from San
Antonio.
Defeated early Saturday morning
by the Carranza force under Colonel
Cano in a sharp but brief battle near
Santo Domingo, the Villistas fed
southwark, leaving their leader,
Manuel Boca and a number OF
others dead on the field. Cano's
troopers abandoned pursuit early.
News of the approach of the Vii
listas was conveyed TO Colonel
Brown, commanding a detachment
Of the 10th Cavalry, stationed at
San Antonio. Rushing his men
northward at terrific pace, Colonel
Browns force encountered the ban
dts about noon at Aguas Calientes,
twenty miles southeast Of Bachinaba
and thirty miles north Of Guerrero.
Evidently deeming themselves safe
from further pursuit, the Villistas
were resting their horses. Many Of
the bandits were enjoying siesta.
The bandits scarcely had time to
reach their horses before the negro
cavalryTnen were upon them. Then
ensued a running fight, in which
Andrew Martin Lopez, Villa lieu
tenant in command. led his scatter
ing band in wild fight southwark,
through San Antonio and beyond.
The outlaws hurled away guns and
cartridge belts in their fight.
According TO the ranchmen,
Colonel Browns troopers still were
in hot pursuit when the ranchers
left San Antonio.
Band in Wild Flight.
Only $50 Villistas now remain In .
sizeable band. Colonel Andres Mar
tin Lopez is leading them into the
hills, depredating as he fees before
Colonel Browns energetic drive af-
ter him. His force is loaded down
with wounded and is demoralized,
throwing away arms as it moves into
the hilly sections.
General Pershing returned here
yesterday after a reconnaissance
southwark. He reported marked
progress in the steady pursuit OF
Villa by his newly organized noun
tain infantry detachments. Pershing
is placing great hopes now on this
branch of the pursuit, especially as
further service at the front by aero
scouts is seriously handicapped by
planes of insufficient strength OF con-
struction and lack Of motor power TO
overcome the attitudes and vicious air
currents.
The army in the field in this dis
trict realizes and is constantly talk
ing about the significance Of the good
beginning made by the fight at Guer-
zero. where Colonel Dodd's cavalry
routed the Villista camp, killing
sixty Of the bandits and capturing
many more, wounded and uninjured.

madame, my sincere regrets-but this
accusation happens to be one Of which
I am altogether innocent.
Instantly, from his passive pose,
Lanyard Strengthened up, and the
heavy brass and mahogany humidor
wherein his right hand had been rest
ing seemed fairly to leap from it's
place on the desk as, with sweep OF
his arm, he sent it spinning point
blank at the younger sergent.
Before that one, wholly unprepared,
could more than gasp, it caught him a
blow like kick just below the breast
bone. He reeled, and the breath left
him in one mighty gust; he sat down
abruptly-blue eyes wide with look
Of aggrieved surprise-clapped both
hands to his middle, blinked, turned
pale, and keeled over on his side.
But Lanyard hadn't waited to note
results. He was too busy. The fat
sergent, with a snarl, had leaped upon
his arm and was struggling to hold it
still long enough to snap handcuff
round the wrist, while the commits
saire had started with below Of rage
and two hands extended, itching, for
the adventurous throat.
The first received half-arm jab on
the point Of his chin that Jared his
teeth, and without in the least under
standing how it happened, found him
self being whirled around and laid
PROSTATE in the commissaire's path.
The latter tripped, fell and planted
two hard knees, with the bulk of his
weight atop them, on the zenith of the
sergent's rotundity.
At the same time Lanyard, leaping
toward the doorway, noticed that Popi-
not was Juggling at revolver in his
nip pocket.

savate-Lanyard had dislodged the
light switch, knocking it's porcelain
box from the wall, thus breaking the
connection and causing a short circuit
which extinguished every light in the
house.
With his way thus apparently
cleared, the police in confusion, dark
ness abetting him, LANYARD plunged
on; but in midstride, as he crossed the
threshold, his ankle was caught and
jerked from under him by the still
PROSTATE younger sergent.
For the next minute or two Lanyard
fought blindly, madly, viciously, strik-
ing and kicking at random.
Then, free, he made off, running,
stumbling, Keeling, gained the recep-
ton hall, flung open the door, and
needless of the picket who had fired at
him from below the window, threw
himself bodily down the steps and
away.
Three shots sped him through that
intricate tangle of the night-bound
park. But all flew wide; and the pur-
suit-what little there was-blundered
off at haphaZard and lost itself
He came to the wall, crept along in
shelter of it's deeper shadow until he
found tree with a low-swung branch
that jutted out over the street, climbed
this, edged outward, and dropped to
the sidewalk.
A shout from the direction OF the
nearest gate greeted his appearance.
He turned and dashed off. Running
feet for time pursued him, and once
he heard the rumble of motor. But
he recovered quickly, regained his
wind, and ran well, with long, steady.
ground-consuming strides, and doubled,
turned, and twisted in a manner to
wake the envy of the most subtle fox.
The pursuit failed once more. In
time he felt warranted in slowing
down to q rapid walk.

the biplane. The wind was now blow
ing more fitfuily, creating pockets
those 'holes in the air" so dreaded by
oud-pilots-and in quest Of a more
constant resistance the aviator was
swinging his craft in a wide northerly
curve, climbing ever higher and more
high.
The earth soon lost all semblance Of
design; even the twisted silver wire Of
the Seine vanished far on the left; re-

After some forty minutes more Of

disquiet in the mind of the aviator,
and stared until he caught his eye.

other in futile effort to lift his voice
above the din.
But the Frenchman understood, and
responded with sweep Of his arm to-
ward the horizon ahead. And seeing
nothing hut cloud in the quarter indi-
Gated, Lanyard began to grasp the ma
ture OF phenomenon which, from the
first, had been vaguely troubling him.
The reason why he had been able to
perceive no real rim to the world was
that the earth was all asteam from the
heavy rains Of the last week; all the
more remote distances were yelled

Wear;laess was now heavy burden
! upon him, and his spirit numbed with
desperate desire for rest; but his pace
did not flag nor his purpose falter
from its goal
1t was long walk to which he set
himself and, as soon as he felt conf.
dent of freedom from espionage, a di-
rect one. He plodded ..-lout falter-
ing to the one place where he could
feel sure of finding his beloved, il she
lived and were free. He knew that
she had not forgotten, and in his heart
he knew that she would never again
Of her own will fail him.
Nor had she, when-weary and
spent FROM that heart-breaking climb
up the merciless activity of the Butte
Montmartre-he staggered rather than
walked past the sleepy verger and
found his way through the crowding
shadows to the softly luminous heart
of the cathedral Oh the Sacre-Coeur
and found her kneeling, her head bent
upon hands resting across the back of
the little chair before her, slight and
timid figure lost and lonely in the long
ranks of empty chairs that filed the
body Of the nave.
Slowly, almost fearfully, he went to
her, and silently slipped into the chair
by her side
She knew, without looking up, that
it was he.
After little her hand stole out to
his, closed round his fingers and drew
him forward with gentle, insistent
pressure. He knelt then with her,
hand in hand-filled with the wonder
of it, that he to whom religion had
been nothing should have been brought
to this by the magic of q woman g
love.
He knelt for a long time, for many
minutes, his somber gaze questioning
the golden shadows and the ancient
mystery of the farther choir and dis
tant shining altar-and there was no
more doubt in his heart but that, what
ever should ensue of this, the restless
spirit Of the Lone Wolf was laid at
last.
But in time he remembered how
urgent was their plight; and remem-
bering, found courage to break in upon

ierr. BY that telltale rneIr course lay
nearly due northeast Already the
weltering roofs Of Paris were in sight
to the right, the Eiffel tower soaring
from them like fairy pillar of fine
gold lace-work, the Seine looping the
cluttered acres like a sleek brown
snake.
Versailles broke the horizon to port
and slipped astern. Paris closed up,
telescoped its panorama, became a
mere blur, a smoky smudge.e
But it was long before the distance
eclipsed that admonitory finger Of the
Eiffel.
Vauquelin manipulating the levers,
the plane tilted it's nose and swan
higher and yet higher. The song of
the motor dropped an octave to rich
er tone. The speed was sensibly in
creased.
Lanyard contemplated with untem-
pered wonder the fact of his equanim-
ity-there seemed nothing at all
strange in this extraordinary expert
ence; he was by no means excited, re-
manned merely deeply interested. And
he could detect in his physical sensa-
lions no trace of that qualmish dread
he had always associated with high
places-the sense he now experienced
Of security, Of solidity, ever afterward
remained wholly unaccountable in his
understanding.
OF sudden, surprised by a touch on
his arm, he turned to meet through the
mica windows of the wind-mask the
eyes Of the aviator, informed with an
expression of importunate doubt. quite
illegible. Assailed by sickening fear
lest something was going wrong with
the machine, Lanyard shook his head
to indicate want of comprehension.
Then, with an impatient gesture. the
aviator pointed downward.
Approaching the fact that speech
was impossible, Lanyard clutC ed the
struts and bent forward. But the pace
was now so fast and their elevation
so great that the landscape swimming
beneath his vision was no more than q
brownish plain fugitively maculated
with blots of contrasting color.
He looked UP blankly, but only to
be treated to the same gesture.
Piqued, he concentrated attention
more closely upon the fat, streaming
landscape. And suddenly he recog-
niZed something ODDLY familiar in the
bend of the Seine that was approach
ing.
est Germain-en-Laye! he exclaimed
with a start of alarm.
This was the danger point.
EsAnd over there" he reminded him
self-'to the left-that wide field with
a queer white thing in the middle that
looks like a winged grub-that must
be De Morbihan's aerodome and his
Valkyr monoplane! Are they bringing
it out? Is that what Vauquelin means?
And if so-what of it? l don't see."
A sudden doubt and wonder chilled
the adventurer.
Temporarily, Vauquelin returned en-
tire attention to the management Of

CHAPTER XXI.
WINGS of the Morning.


About half past six Lanyard left the
dressing room assigned him in the bar
racks at Port Aviation and, waddling
quantity in the heavy wind-proof gar
ments provided at the instance Of Du-
croy, made his way between two hang
ars to the practice ED.
Now the eastern skies were pulsing
fitfully with promise of dawn; but
within the vast Enclosure Of the aero,
dome the gloom of night fingered so
stubbornly that two huge searchlights
had been pressed into the service OF
those engaged in tuning up the motor
of the PARROT biplane.
In their intense, white, concentrated
glare-that rippled eddy upon the
wrinkled, oily garments Of the dozen
or so mechanics busy about the ma
chine-the under sides of those wide,
motionless planes hung against the
dark with an effect of impermanence-
as though they were already af1oat
and needed but breath to send them
winging skyward.
At one side a number Of young and
keen-faced Frenchmen, officers of the
corps, were lounging, overlooking the
preparations with alert and intelligent
interest.
On the other, all the majesty of Mars
was incarnatc in the rOtund person OF
M. Ducroy, posing valiantly in fur
lined coat and shining top-hat while
he chatted with an officer Of tall, ath-
letic figure who wore an air of uncom-
mon efficiency together with his await
ing uniform.
AS Lanyard drew near, this man
brought his heels together smartly,

She had donned, over her street

enveloped her completely and but

Her small hat, too, had been replaced
by a leather helmet-cap which left
only her eyes, nose, mouth and chin
exposed, and even these were soon to
be hidden by heavy veil for protec-
