CHAPTER v.
A Journey, and a Dark Man.

Alaire's preparations for the journey
10 La Feria were made with little de-
lay. Owing to the condition of affairs
across the border, Ellsworth had
thought Ii well to provide her with let
ters from the most influential Mexi-
cans In the neighborhood; what Is
more, In order to pave her way toward
u settlement Of her claim he succeeded
In getting telegram through to Mex
leo City-Ellsworth's influence was not
bounded by the Rio Grande.
Alalre took Dolores with her, and for
male escort she selected, after some
| dellberation, Jose Sanchez, her horse
breaker. Benito could not well be
spared. Sanchez had some force and
Initiative, ut least and Alaire had no
reason To doubt his loyalty. The party
went to Pueblo by motor. On the fol-
lowing day, Alaire secured her pass
ports from the federal headquarters
across the Rio Grande, while Jose at
tended to the railroad tickets. On the
| second morning after leaving home the
party vas borne southward into Mex
I leo.
The revolution had ravaged most Of
northern Mexico; long rows of rustlng
trucks and twisted car skeletons beside
the track showed how the railways
rolling stock had suffered In this par
tienlar vicinity; and as the train pene-
trated farther south temporary trestles
and the charred ruins OF station houses
spoke even more eloqnently Of the
struggle. Now and then n steel water
tana, pierced with loopholes and ripped
by cannon balls, showed where some
detachment had made a stand. There
was a military guard on the train,
too-a dozen unkempt soldiers loaded
down with rifles and bandoliers OF car
tridges, and several officers, neatly
dressed In Khaki, who rode In the first
class coach and occupied themselves
by making eyes ut the women

Alaire the gossip that he picked up.
1t was not until midday that the first
Interruption occurred; then the train
pulled In upon siding, and after an
interininnble delay II transpired that a
northbound troop-train was expected.
Jose brought this intelligence "Soon
you will behold the flower OF the Mex.

see thousands of Longorlo's veterans,

lie smiled, showing the whitest and
eyenest teeth.
Such extrayagant homage was EN-
barrassing. yet no woman could be
wholly dlspleased by admiration so
spontaneous and intense as that which
Lorgorio manifested In every look and
word. Alaire knew the susceptibility
OF Mexican men, and was immune to
ordinary flattery; yet there was some
thing exciting about this martial hero's
complete captiyation. To have charmed
him to the point of bewilderment was
a unique triumph, and under his hun
cry eyes she felt an adventurous thrill,
While he and Alalre were talking the
passengers had returned TO their seats:
they were shouting good-bys TO the
soldiers opposite; the conductor ap-
proached and informed the general OF
his train orders.
Longorio favored him with a slow
stare. "You may go when | leave"

FIRST ENGAGEMENT OF
CIVIL WAR WAS ON
MAY "a, 1861

"HE war proper may be said to
have opened on the twenty
fourth Of May, 1861. The en-.
gagement was ut Bethel
Church, where Gen. B. F. Butler was
In command, and In western Virginia,
Gen. George B. Mcclellan began to be
a conspicuous figure. In the latter
part of May General Morris won an
engagement at Philippi, and on the
eleventh Of July General Mcclellan
gained victory at Rich mountain.
On the tenth of August. General Rose
Grams drove out detachment Of the
enemy at Carnifax Ferry. On the
eleventh Of June, Col. Lewis Wallace
made successful onset ut Romney.
These, and other minor engagements
occurred up to the sixteenth Of July,
when began the first battle Of Bull
Run. On that day the Federal army
moved forward and an important en-
tagement took place between Center
Vile and Bull Run. They pressed for
ward and on the twenty-first day of
July found the enemy strongly posted
between Bull Run and Manassas June
ion. General Mcdowell, successful at
hrst, was driven back by the re-en-
forcements.
Missouri now became a battlefield
Tor the contending armies Captain
Nathaniel Lyon acted promptly at
Camp Jacks /. near ST. Louis, and
saved the arms and stores. Later,
General Lyon gained decided ad-
vantage at Bonneville and on the fifth
Of July the Federal troops under Col.
Franz Sigel We're again successful at
Carthage On the tenth of August
the hardest battle fought thus far in
the West occurred at Wilson's creek,
where General Lyon was killed. Gen.
John c. Fremont followed the enemy
MS far as Springfield, ILL.,. and was
there superseded by General Hunter.
The enemy led strong detachment
into the state Of Kentucky and cap
tured the town Of Columbus, where
they planted batteries SO as to COM
nand the Mississippi and the Missouri.
In order 10 dislodge them, Col. Ulysses
!. Grant was sent with a brigade of
three thousand Illinois troops. by way
Of Cairo into Missouri. where he made
vigorous and successful attack at
Belmont. Thus closed military opera
lions In the West for 1861.
General Scott was unable to bear
longer the burden resting upon him
and Gen. George b. Mcclellan was
brought from West Virginia to take
command Of the Army of the Potomac.
As an organizer and discipinarian the
young commander had no superior.
From the first II was seen by the Fed
eral government that the command of
the seacoast was an essential Of sue
cess and n close blockade was placed
upon all Southern ports.
At the beginning Of 1862 the Federal
forces numbered about 10000 men.

wv YHEN Lawrence was first
AA/ sacked on May II. 1856, BY
Missourians and proslav-
cry men directed by terri
torial officials, David A. Atchison, at
one time United States senator from
Missouri, figured prominently in the
work of inciting the mob to its
rash deeds. Atchison had at one time
served as vice president Of the United
States, but during the Kansas trouble
he hovered about the border towns Of
Kansas and Missouri helping greatly
to incite the lower classes OF Mis-
sourians to violence toward the free
state settlers, especially those In Law
renee.
When Sheriff Jones and his allies
came to Lawrence on May q, 1855, to
abate the Free State hotel and the two
newspaper Offices as nuisances-tech-
nically they were charged with "con-
structive treason"-Atchiso was In
the front ranks, says the Lawrence
Journal-World. and incidentally slight
ly upsy. He made a famous speech
that day, to the effect that by c.,
boys, I'm q Kickapoo ranger" and
among other things urged his men to
shoot down women and children II 1t
seemed at all necessary. 1t Is a mel
ancholy fact that many helpless per-
sons were slaughtered.
But 1t was not until the work of de-
stroying the Free State hotel COM
menced that Atchison really did HIM
self justice. The Offices of the Her.
aid and Freedom and the Kansas Free
State had already been sacked and de-
molished, and then the mob turned
on the Free State hotel. First the
hotel was bombarded with cannon, but
with little success; the shot simply
made holes In the walls. and the
actual work of destruction was finally
accomplished by blowing the building
up with kegs Of powder and firing it
with paper from the newspaper offices.
Not to be kept out of the public eye,
Atchison insisted on firing the first
shot at the hotel. A small howitzer
was dragged out into the street east
Of the hotel and slightly north-about
where the car track now turns east or
possibly few yards farther east
and Atehison went about aiming the
gun at the hotel. The howitzer used
was not loaded with the customary
round cannon ball. but with shell
set In a brass jacket-the only one
of the kind the company had.
Atchison sighted down the gun bar
rel, but his good right eye told him the
gun was not properly aimed.
"Lower her a little bit higher boys:
lower her little bit higher" he COM
manded.
That done, he touched the can
of-and completely missed the hd
The shell went screaming over into
the west Of the town and was heard
distinctly by many people, VINO de-
scribed Its passage as being accom-.
panied by peculiar whistllng sound
unlike that of any other shot fired that
day.

The South does not celebrate the

1t has Its own days for paying tribute

no reason after the lapse of fifty years
TO regret the triumph Of that cause for

Navy Officials Expect Early
Completion of Dirigible
Program
fBy Associated Press.l

Washington, May 31.-Navy officials
enthusiastic over the successful build
ers' trial of the first Of sixteen nom
rigid dirigible balloons ordered by the
department two months ago last night
said that the dirigible program was as
sured of completion much sooner than
had been expected.
The contract called for delivery
within four months but the builders
will turn the first ship over for active
duty in coast patrol work within less
than ninety days Of the day of the con-
tract and thereafter one or more Will
be delivered every week.
The sixteen ships will be added TO
the coast patrol service.
Crews are being trained at the naval
aviation station at Pensacola. where
the first navy dirigible DN-1, an older
type craft suitable only for training
purposes, is in daily operation. The
new airships, with greater speed and
weight carrying capacity are expected
to be an effective element of the coast
defenses, particularly in the detection
of submarines. The navy department
expects that the entire sixteen will be
in service by the middle of August and
that they will be distributed to operate
in pairs along the Atlantic coast, work.
