CHAPTER XII.
The euzman Incident.


Ricardo Guzman did not return
from Romero. The man had dlsap-
peared. 1t seemed. comnletelY and mvs-
teriously. At first the facis appeared
plain: a citizen Of the United States
had been lured across the border and
done to death by Mexican soldiers-for
1t soon became evident that Ricardo
was dead. The outrage was a casus

could ignore; So ran the popular YER

which lay along the Rio Grande stirred
itself.
OF course, the people of Texas we're
delighted that the long-delayed hour
had struck; accordingly, when the
state department manifested its will
inEuess TO allow Don Ricardo ample
time In which to come to life in pref
erence TO putting n further strain upon
international relations, they were both
surprised and enraged. Telegraph
wires began to buzz the governor of
the state sent a sarcastic message to
the national capital, offering to dis
patch company of Rangers after
Guzlnans body just to prove that he
was Indeed dead, and that the Mexi-
can authorities were lying when they
protessed Ignorance of the fact.
This offer not only caught the popu-
lar fancy north Of the Rio Grande, but
1t likewise had an effect on the other
side Of the river, for on the very next
DAY General Luis Longorio set out for
Romero TO investigate personally the
ranchers disappearance.
Now, throughout all this public
clanor' truth, as usual, lay hidden at
the bottom Of its well, and few even
OF Rlcardo's closest friends suspected
the real reason for his murder.
Jonesville, Of course, could think or
talk of little else than this outrage,
and Blaze Jones, as befitted its lead
Ing citizen, was loudest in his criticism
OF the governments policy. Blaze's
conception Of diplomacy was peculiar.

rode with them.
Once through the gate and safe in
side the restraining pasture fence the
herd was allowed to settle down. Then
began a patient search by outraged
mothers, series of mournfm quests
that were destined to continue far into
the night; endless nosings and snlfings
and caressings, which would keep up
until each cow had found her own.
until each calf was butting its head
against maternal ribs and gaining that
consolation which 1t craved.
A new moon was swinging in the
sky as Alaire and Dave rode back
toward Las Palmas. How or when
AlRire Austin came to feel that this

to say, the knowledge did not disturb

had quite the opposite effect. She was
eager for friendship, hungry for affec-
tlon, starved for that worship which
every woman lives upon. Having a
wholesome confidence in her own
strength Of character, and complete
faith in Laws sense Of honor, she was
neither alarmed nor offended.
For the first time In years she al
lowed her intimate thoughts free ex-
preston and spoke Of her hopes, her
interests and her efforts; under the
spell Of the moonlight she even con-
hded something about those dreams
that kept her company and robbed her
world OF its sordidness. Dave Law

Fifteen minutes later the order came
to 'go over the top" and this same
"Tommy" was among the first. He was,
also among the first to fall, mortallx'
wounded.
1t was discovered at the dressing
station that he had been struck by a
nearly spent bullet that had gone

know that this country is aiding the allied nations
in extermnating so-called "kultur" and in estab-
fishing peace earth for centuries at least. The
boys will give thanks because they have been
privileged to give their services, their money for
Liberty bonds and their lives, if necessary to
bring to close this worst struggle of all the ages.
AT the naval stations elaborate programs have
been prepared. Mrs. William A. Moffett, wife of
the commandant Of Great Lakes naval training
station, early conceived the idea Of giving big
Thanksgiving dinner to the 10000 boys now train
ing there. Actuated by her splendid mother spirit
Mrs. Moffett confded her wish to some Of her
friends

asked "Many of the young boys actually need to
pass Thanksgiving In real home--they have been
separated from their own people so long that their
hearts are calling out for glimpse into home
where there is mother, father, noisy
children and home-cooked food"
Mrs. Moffett's idea quickly became popular. A
committee was formed to secure the boys who
were to accept the scores of invitations from Chi
cagoans and other hospitable people along the
north shore Of Lake Michigan who showed de-
sire to entertain the jacFes on Thanksgiving day.
Chaplain Charles w. Moore lent his aid in select

An Odd Fish--The Sea Horse

If mermaids were no bigger than some fairies,
they might have horses to ride. The sea horses
are creatures familiar enough though most people
have never seen one alive. Summer visitors at
the seashore find them for sale--very Dead and
dried-at shops that specialize in marine curios.
The sea horse (naturalsts say is one of the
most ancient Of fishes. 1t Is one of natures
oldest imitatons-a "camoufage," so to speak.
1t has horselike head, and its body is so
shaped as to resemble the neck of that quadru-
ped. But really, when one comes to examine 1t,
the thing 1t counterfeits Is the knight" piece Of
the chessboard.
The sea horse has a tubelike snout at the end
of which are the mouth and jaws. Its head is
topped by sort Of coronet. Glad in complete
suit of arnor plates 1t cannot flex it's body like
other fishes, and Its finless tail is of no use for
locomotion.
1t feeds on small shrimps and other crusta-
ceans Occasionally, uncoiling its tail from the
supporting plant, 1t swims slowly not like other
fishes but always in vertical position, its back
fin vibrating rapidly.
Like other fishes, the sea horse possesses an
air-bladder which is always distended by a guam
tty OF gas so exactly adjusted for equilibrium
that, II a single bubble no larger than the head
of small pin be extracted the creature falls to
the bottom and must crawl about until the wound
Is healed and n fresh supply of gas has been
secreted.
But the most remarkable point about the sea
horse Is that the male is provided with an ex-
ternal stomach-pouch, in which. at the mating sea-
sen, the female deposits her eggs The lining
membrane of the pouch secretes nutritious fluid
on which the young, when Matched, are fed When

Rome In the days of Augustus was a city OF
more than 100000 persons. and it did not have
single hospital.
The city was built mainly of brick with narrow,
tortuous streets. But it had some broad and
well-paved thoroughfares, the fashionable avenue
being the famous Appian way, which was the
metropolitan terminus, to speak, of one of the
great military roads that radiated from Rome as
n center to all parts Of the empire.
The houses of the rich and even those of the
fairly well-to-do, were supplied with running wa
ter. No modern system of aqueducts surpassed
that of ancient Rome, and the water was dis
tributed to dwellings by underground pipes that
furnished the fluid through lead pipe connections
to tanks elevated on pillars at regular intervals
along the street. From these tanks lead pipes
carried the water to the houses on either side,
which were provided with faucets and basins like
our houses Of today.
Ths in itself is very interesting fact, because
even two centuries ago there was no such ade-
quate system of water supply for cities anywhere
In the civilized world In respect of this import
ant item of civilization. the destruction Of Rome
by war put the world back about 1900 years.
When julius Caesar first visited Alexandria in
Egypt, the occasion on which he was captured by
the Greek charms Of Cleopatra, he found there SO
complete an underground water-supply system
that the city seemed "hollow underneath"
Inc aQueu1ctS OF ancient Rome, SUBSTANTIAL re-
mains of which still exist, supplied numerous
street fountains, at which the people drank and
much more important, the enormous bath build
ings, erected and maintained at fabulous expense
by various emperors.
There were no street lamps Soldiers employed
as policemen carried torches through the streets.
1t was method corresponding nearly to that In
use in European cities couple of centuries ago.
Stoves were unknown and dwellings were heat
