While future u, ,o..r are ex-
pected to heighten the sensational
character of the Carranza mission,
it is now known as certainty that
the Mexicans, assisted by two Japan
ese, Dutch adventurer and Welsh
man discharged from the British
army. for conduct unbecoming an of
ficer, succeeded in chartering the kot-
ehira Maru, a Japanese vessel of H.,
100 tons. After loading cargo, this
boat left Yokohama during the night
of January 4, and proceeded to Muro-
ran, where it coaled and sailed direct
for Salina Cruz, Mexico.
According to the manifest, the
shipments consisted of 403 tons, but
il is known that this steamer of 1000
tons did not sail direct for Salina
Cruz with cargo of only 400 tons,
listed as machinery. 1t is also u
known fact that the Kotohira Maru
carried twenty-seven Japanese gun
experts.
1t is believed that the Mexicans,
handicapped in their operations by
the alertness of the Japanese govern
ment, were offered only inferior mat
erial, OF an old pattern and lacking
in uniformity, so the trio finally re-
solved to add to their small arms
purchase quantity of machinery for
the manufacture of guns and am-
munition.
The three Mexicans we're J. NJ
Carpio. X. Vargas and Guitterz As
terga. They arrived in Yokohama
November %. They are all Carran-
"a men. Capio was chief of staff un-
der General Obreeon, Carranza's war
minister.
The Mexicans had money-all kinds
of it. They had credits issued by New
York banks totaling more than ST.
100000 gold. This money is general
ly known to have been deposited in
the Chartered bank, the First Bank
of Japan and the Mitsui bank. In ad-
dition to those credits there is al
large sum deposited in powerful
bank here, the remnant of sum plac-
ed here by General Huerta when that
bandit was supreme across the Rio
Grande.
During their stay here the Mexi-
cans were frequently seen in the com
pany of two smooth-looking Phili-
pinos, but while the movements of
the Filipinos are being constantly
watched, as yet their connection with
the Mexicans has not been establish
ed.
The two Japanese aiding the Mexi-
cans were 7. Sudzuki, former princi-
pal of the Toxic Marine college and
NJ. Nakashima, who has been active
in Mexican interests for years. Max
asthma sailed for Mexico on the Koto-
hira Maru. He lived in Mexico for
nearly 10 years.
The Mexicans made frequent calls
at the Mexican legation and were of
ten seen in company with Colonel
Romero, Carranza's minister here.
The latter claims, however, that his
countrymen only came to Japan in
quest of new trade markets for Mex
ican products.

CHAPTER XXI.
FrederIca's Paradox.

Frederlca's Paradox.
Two days later Rodney walked in
on Frederica at breakfast, alone.
"Hello r. Frederick said, holding out
hand to him, but not rising. "Just
in time"
Don't ring" he said quickly. i've
had all I want. My train got In an
hour ago and I had a try at the sta
ton restaurant"
"Well, sit down, anyway" said
Frederick. She reached out a cool,
soft hand and laid it on one Of Rod
ney's which rested Imply on the table.
There was rather long silence-ten
seconds, perhaps. Then:
"How did you fnd out about itf'
Rodney asked.
They were both too wen accustomed
to these telepathic short cuts to take
any note of this one. Shed seen that
he knew, just with her first glance at
him there in the doorway; and some
thing a little tenderer and gentler
than most Of her caresses about this
one, told him that she did

"Startedi" he echoed. do you
think I'm going to let this beastly
farce 60 any furtherr
And with that he told her what
had happened In his ONCE that after
noon, told her Of the attitude Of his
friends. how they'd an known about
undoubtedly had come to see for
themselves, and. ont Of pity or con-
tempt hadn't told him. He told
her how he'd felt, sitting there I'm
the theater. He accused her as his
wrath burned brighter, Of having Sc
lected the thing to do that would hurt
him worst, Of having borne q grudge
against him and avenged II.
It was the ignoblest moment Of his
life, and he knew It. The accusa-
lions he was making against her were
nothing to those that were storing up
in his mind against himself.
He didn't look at her as he talked.
and she didn't interrupt; said no word
Of denial or defense. The big out.
burst spent itself. He lapsed into an
uneasy silence. got himself together
again, and went on trying to restate
his grievance-this time more reason
ably, retracting q little. But under
her continued silence he grew weak
ly irritated again.
When at last she spoke, he turned
his eyes toward her and saw sort Of
frozen look in her dull white face that
he had never seen in 1t before. Her
intonation was monotonous, her voice
scarcely audible.
II guess understand" she said. II
don't know whether wish I were dead
or not. # I'd died when the babies
were horn. But I'm glad I
came away when did. And Tn glad"
alternative, 'Tm glad I've got job
and that can pay back that hundred
dollars owe you. I've had it quite
while. But I've kept it, hoping you
might find out where was and come
to me, as you did, and that we might
have a chance to talk. thought I'd
tell you how I'd earned 1t, and that
you'd be q little-proud with me
about 1t, proud that could pay 1t
back so soon."
She smiled a little over that, a smile
he had to turn away from. II sup
pose I'll be glad, some day, that
1t all happened; that met you and
loved you and had the babies, even
though It's all had to end," she shud-
dered again, 'like this" u
1t wasn't till he tried to speak that
her apparent calm was broken. Then,
with a sudden frantic terror in her
Cheyenne record., 1917-11-08

eyes, she begged him not to-begged
him to go away, If he had any mercy
for her at all, quickly and without
word. In q sort Of daze he obeyed
her.
The tardy winter morning. looking
through her grimy window, found her
sitting there, just as she'd been when
he closed the door.

again and was twisting it up. His eyes
didn't once seek her face. But they
might have done SO in perfect safety,
because her own were fixed on his
hands and the newspaper they crum-
pied. 81
He didn't presume to ask her for
giveness, he told her. He couldn't ex-
pect that; at least not at present. he
went on lamely, in broken sentences,
repeating what he'd said already in
still more inadequate words. He was
unable to stop talking until she should
say something, it hardly mattered
what. And she was unable to say any
thing.
The formality Of his phrases got
sitter and finally CONCEALED into a
blank silence.
Finally she said, with a gasp: 81
have something to ask you to-forgive
me for. That's for leaving you to find
out-where was, the way you did.
You see, thought at first that no one
would know me, made up and all. And
when I found out I would be recog-
nizable, 1t was too late to stop-or at
least 1t seemed SO. Besides, I thought
you knew. saw Jimmy Wallace out
there the opening night, and saw he
recognized me, and-I thought he'd
tell you. And then kept seeing other
people out in front after that, people
we knew, who'd come to see for them
selves, and thought, Of course, You

silence, tnat the only thlng Tor you
to do is to go home and forget about
me as well as you can and be as little
miserable about me as possible. I'll
tell you this, that may make 1t little
easier; you're not to think of me as
starving or miserable, or even un-
comfortable for want Of money. Tn
earning plenty to live on, and I've got
over two hundred dollars in the bank" !"
There was long silence while he
sat there twisting the newspaper In
his hands, his eyes downcast, his face
dull with the look Of defeat that had
settled over 1t.
In the security of his averted gaze,
she took long look at him. Then,
with a wrench, she looked away.
"You will let me go now, won't
your" she asked. ''This is-hard for
us both, and Il isn't getting us any
where. And-and I've got to ask you
not to come back. Because it's impos-
sible, guess, for you to see the thing
my way. You've done your best to, I
can see that"
He got up out Of his chair, heavily,
put on his raincoat, and stood, for q
moment, crumpllng his soft hat in his
hands, looking down at her. She
hadn't risen. Shed gone limp all at
once, and was leaning over the table.
@Good-by," he said at last.
"Good-by. Roddy.". She watched him
walking out into the rain. He'd left
his newspaper. She took It, gripped
1t In both hands, just as he'd done |:
then, with an effort, got up and mount
ed the stairs to her room.
