June leaned out over the porch rail,
keeping her eyes fastened on the organ

the hand on the rail with fear and
trembling. Her worst suspicious were
realzed. A faint red ring appeared.
Mary put out her hand as II to stop it's
growing more vivid. Slowly the color
came into 1t. 1t blazed forth in all it's
strength just as June exclaimed angrily:
on, why does he mistreat that poor,

old woman. Come now, before you see

June looked back as the nurse cosxed

down atop of the organ with such vio-

this mark came on your hand, you're
so different-so changed from the sweet,
gentle little girl that I've known and
loved all these years"
"Oh, look!' June exclaimed, glad
OF an excuse to change the subject.
Look at the monkey, Mary. Isn't he
perfectly adorable? Oh, you're not
looking in the right place. He's doing
all sorts of tricks. Isn't he wonder

II don't see anything wonderful; in

WASHINGTON. May 9.--The Am
erican consul at Liverpool wired today
that the crew OF the Cymric had been
landed at Bantry. Despite the state
ment of Consul Frost at Queenstown,
that some sailors were lost, Liverpool
insisted that all were saved.
The report that the Cymric was In
the service OF the British admiralty
complicated the situation. White star
officers denied this. II true. the
steamer will have to be classed az a
warship and America Will not be con-
cerned in the attack.
Consul Frost has left Queenstown
for Bantry to learn whether the Gym
ric had been warned. He will inter-
view the officers. The fact that the
Cymrlc was allowed 10 leave New
York indicated 1t was not engaged IN
un-neutral business and therefore not
a warship.
IL was believed that Germanys new
submarine policy would be tested IN

WASHINGTON. May 9.-The raid

Secretary Lansing today. He charges

sible
Scott's message this morning indi'
Gated that the conference with obre-
gon had ended and efforts to secure
the pact had been shattered. 1t inti-
mated that obregon had not threat
ened to use force. but it stated that
the situation is no good and we bet
ter prepare for trouble"
Obregon has demanded time linn
it to the expedition remaining in
Mexico. The cabinet today decided
to refuse this positively 1t was learn
ed that the department of justice is
extensively investigating the Mexican
raids, believing they were organized
here.
Officials said that the European
powers might desire Intervention,
wishing to have America on the job
for the influence that such a cam
paign would have on Europe. 1t was
said that American interests owning
huge properties in Mexico were re-
garded as likely to want intervention
to redeem their holdings.
The force starting after the Mara
thon raiders was regarded as pitifully
small. Funston was unable to rein
force the battalion however.

said despairingly. The country
ahead of the tiny column is the most
difficult in northern Mexico. There
is no forage enroute. The chances Of
catching the bandits is believed
small. That section of territory has
long been regarded as a refuge for
; desperadoes from both sides of the
border.
Funston felt secure regarding Per-
. shings men. His supplies are ample
and his lines of communication are
efficient. Scott and Obregon today
. sent their governments lengthy re-
ports of last nights meeting.
Funston has been fully empowered
to dispose of the national guard
troops The militia is available for
lservice in Mexico if needed. The
presidents step does not require con-
gressional action unless the militia
crosses the border. If crossed the mi-
litia will be enrolled as volunteers
losing the status of militia. This is
the first time since the Spanish Am
erican war that the militia has been
called out Official records show
that the militia of the three states
comprises $3.50 men.
