Father Van Quentin has kept alive
the old family custom of saying grace
at the dinner table. Last night, just
as things were quiet and heads were
bowed, the servant announced that Mr..
Van Quentin was wanted at the tele-
phone-long distance. He excused
himself and answered the call, which
proved to be of considerable impor-
lance. When he returned ten minutes
later, he resumed his attitude Of pray

ingly. With bowed head he began |:

said at last. "Whcn YOU heard Of

He smiled, showing the whitcst and
cvcncst teeth.
Such cXtravagant homage was en-
barraSSing, yet no woman could be
wholly diSplcascd by admiration so
spontaneous and intense as that which
Iongorio manifested in every look and
word. Alairc knew the susceptibility
of Mexican men, and was immune to
ordinary tlattcry; yet there was some
thing exciting about this martial hero's
complete captivation. To have charmed
him to the point OF bewildelment was
a unique triumph, and under his hun
CRY eyes she felt an adventurous thrill.

and gesture his most hearty approval
of the change Of plan.
"We mustn't hold the train" Alaire
said quickly. II will arrange to see
YOU in Nuevo Pueblo when I return"
Longorio smiled brilliantly and lift
cd brown hand. "No, no! am a
selfish man; refuse to deprive myself
Of this pleasure. Now about these
cattle" He thought for moment, and
his tone altered as he said: "Senora,
there seems to be an unhappy compli-
! cation In our way, and this we must
remove. First, may ask, are you a
friend to our cause?"
II nm m American, but what has
that to do with my ranch and my
cattle? This Is something that con-
Germs no one except you and me-"
Longorio was plainly flattered by her
words, and took no trouble to hide his
pleasure. "Ah! IF that were only
true! We would arrange everything
to your satisfaction without another
word" His udmiring gaze seemed to
envelOp her, and It's warmth was un-
mstakable.
"Why did you take my cattle?" she
demanded, stubbornIy.

Stores were empty, the people were
idle. Over all was IN atmosphere of
decay, and, what was far more signiii-
cant, the people seemed content.
All morning the monotonous Journey
contnued--a trial to Alaire and DolO-

experience. He covered the train from
end to end, making himself acquaint-
ed with everyone and bringing to
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
interminable delay it transpired that n
northbound troop-train was expected.
Jose brought this intelligence: "Soon

initiative, at least and Alnire had no
reason to doubt his loyalty. The party
went to Pueblo by motor. On the fol

ports from the federal headquarters

tended to the railroad tickets. On the
second morning after leaving home the
party was borne southwark into Mex

The revolution had ravugcd most Of

trucks and twisted car skeletons beside
the track showed how the railways
rolling stock had suffered in this par

and the chnrrcd ruins Of station houses
spoke even more cloQucntly Of the
struggle. Now and then Il steel water
tank, pierced with loopholes and ripped
by cannon balls, showed where some
detachment had made stand. There
was military guard on the train,
too--a dozen unkcmpt soldiers loaded
down with rifles and bandoliers Of car
trdgcS, 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
bcsicged by the customary crowd Of
curious poems; the same noisy huck-
sters dealt out enchiladas, tortillas,
dirty baskets and pals: even their out
stretched hands seemed to bear the fu-
