Such extravagant homage was en-
barrassing, yet no woman could be
wholly displeased by admiration so
spontaneous and intense as that which
LongOrio manifested in every look and

CHAPTER v.
A Journey, and a Dark Man.

Alaires preparations for the journey
to La Feria were made with little de-
lay. Owing to the condition of affairs
across the border. Ellsworth had
thought it well to provide her with let
tiers from the most influential Mexi-
cans in the nelghborhood what Is
more. In order to pave her way toward
a settlement of her claim he succeeded
in getting a telegram through to Mex
leo City-Ellsw0rth' influence was not
bounded by the Rio Grande.
Alaire took Dolores with her, and for
male escort she selected, after some
deliberation. Jose Sanchez, her horse
breaker. Benito could not well be
spared. Sanchez had some force and
initiative, at 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 was borne southwark into Mex
leo.
The revolution had ravaged most of
northern Mexico; long rows of rusting
trucks and twisted car skeletons beside
the track showed how the railways
rolling stock had suffered In this par
ticuIar vicinity; and as the train pene-
trated farther south temporary trestles
and the charred ruins of station houses
spoke even more eloquently of the
struggle. Now and then a steel water
tank. pierced with loopholes and ripped
by cannon balls, showed where some
detachment had made a stand. There
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 at the women.
At It's frequent stops the train was
beSieged by the customary crowd of
curious poems; the same noisy buck
sters dealt out enchiladas, tortillas,
goat cheeses and coffee from the same
dirty baskets and pals; even their out
stretched hands seemed to bear the IA
millar CRIME of ante-bellum days. The
coaches were crowded; women famed
themselves increasingly; their men
snored. open-mOuthed. over the backs
of the seats, and the aisles were full
Of squalling, squabbling children.
AZ for the country Itself, it was dy-
ing. The ranches were stripped OF
stock, no carts creaked along the high
ways, and the roads, like the little
farms, we're growing up TO weeds.

THE FIRST 70 FIGHT; OUR D[SIR0NRSI
/ SWIFT LITTLE SHIPS NOW IN WAR ZONE
Others to Follow as Soon as 1t

From Our Own Shores
Across the Ocean

TIME first to fight! The neat, trim,
fit and fleet little destroyers, the
pride Of their officers and crews,
are the first vessels Of the United
States navy to begin active operations
against the subsea pirates, now en-
deavoring to starve England and
France by torpedoing all food laden
vessels attempting to enter allied ports
The fact that our war vessels, man.
ned by our own brothers and sons,
are securing the North sea for a
glimpse Of German submarine, run
ning great risks Of being torpedoed
without warning, brings the war closer
to the American heart than anything
else that has happened
That torpedo destroyers are operat-
ing in the North sea did not come as a
great surprise. In fact, it was general
ly known in newspaper offices many
days before the official announcement,
but publication was delayed by the self
imposed censorship.
England Rejoices.
England received the news of the
presence of the American boats with
loud cheers and high praise for the
fine standard Of men composing their

the comfort Of the British soldiers and

diately forthcoming at meeting of
the American Chamber Of Commerce
Several American firms subscribed
$500 each, bringing the fund up to 49,,
OOO
| 1t was DECIDED to provide two build
| ings at ports where the sailors will
have their shore leave, and two repre-
! sentatives of the fund started hither
| the next day to begin the work. The
buildings will have sleeping, eating
and recreation accommodations for the
men, including reading rooms. A
movement is also on foot to secure
| clubhouse suitable for the needs of all
! American sailors and soldiers who are
likely to visit London during the war.
| Our Seamen No Strikers.
At the American consulate it was
stated that at no time Of the submarine
campaign have there been more Amer
lean seamen than are now traversing
the barred zone, and that there had not
been one case where any Of them had
sought to leave their vessels.
| Fully 5000 American seamen have
been through the zone in recent months,
and many have been on ships Of other
nationalities which have been torpe-
doed or mined. In several instances
American seamen have been in three
torpedoed vessels.
One of the most remarkable phases
of the development Of the American
mercantile marine is the adaptability
Of the American negro as a sailor.
Ships masters have declared them to
be among the brayest Of crews under
| the most trying situations.
American naval authorities quite APP
prove of the system adopted by the
British admiralty as to concealing the
number of U boats captured or sunk
and have adopted it in regard to the
operations Of American warships. This
system, of course, also covers the meth
DDS by which they are dealt with, which
all form part of an extensive scheme
constantly being altered and improved

service, are being built with all posi-
bic haste Several will be commits
stoned early In summer Others will
be ready a few months later and still
others at Intervals of a few months
thereafter.
There docs not appear to be any pres
ent necessity for heavy craft in addi-
tion 10 the British and French fleets
Destroyers and cruisers are holding the
lines against the submarines, while the.
big ships are held in readiness to meet
any attempt by the Germans to claim
a place upon the surface of the sea.
The American battle fleet stands as an
additional line behind the mighty ar
mazda the allies can fling into such a
fight.
Secretary Daniels had not planned to
! announce at this time the fact that our
| war craft are actively cooperating on
the other side of the Atlantic. The
press dispatch from London that the
British admiralty had made the an
nouncement was the direct cause of his
making the fact public.
| The policy OF secrecy was due to the
remote danger that the German admi-
rally might receive the news in some
way before the destroyers reached the
other side and pick off one or more of
| them en- route.
All officials and naval experts have
not been agreed as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of withholding this news from publica-
! tiOn Some have felt that Dublica ton
of the fact would have had tremen-
dous sentimental effect in this country,
in England and France and especially
in Germany and throughout the central
