resourceful, unafraid, and she controls
75 per cent of the arms and ammuni-
tion industries of the United States.
In addition, she has at her command
this immense treasure, this hundred
million-dollar trust. which she Inherit
ed and declares she will spend 1t for
the sole purpose of defeating our
plans since, as 1t appears, her
country Is too nlggardly and short
sighted to spend dollar In Its own
defense!
"And we sit here in ignorance of
her plans! We must know them, and
we must know them without more de-
lay-or we risk setback that ex-
plodes our entire scheme of invasion 7"
"How can that be?" Torreon in
quired.
With n grunt of impatience Huroki
pointed to great Typographical map
spread out on the table between them.
"Have you forgotten that our chosen
line of march strikes directly through
the Claiming ranch property? And
what are we going to find there? What
is this girl doing there. all this time
while we sit here twlddling our
thumbs? She isn't idle-I promise you
that. She can purchase, If need be,
the best military intelligence in the
United States. Is 1t sensible to sup
pose that her advisers have overlooked
the fact that via the Claiming ranch
is the shortest and quickest route
toward our gonl?-that, IL we strike ut
all from this quarter, 1t will naturally
and surely be along that line? And
such being the probable case, is 1t wise

lis. Then he retired to welI-earned

calls. Then he retired to well-earned
rest.
In the gray dusk of the next dawn
twenty mounted and armed Mexlcans
rendezvoused with the Killer at a
point some two miles south of the
boundary line of the Claiming ranch,
and about twenty miles from it's ha-
cienda.
He was well-informed as to the hab-
its of the patrOl-both that maintained
by the United States government and
that which Patria Claiming had Or
ganized. Since 1t was the custom for
raiding parties to cross the border by
night or In earliest dawn, Gomez re-
Trained from doing anything as COM
monplace. He recognized no necessity
for clash with the patrols when 1t
could be avoided by the exercise of a
little patience.
Conducting his command to a point
where they could skulk under cover of
wooded ground, secure from spying
eyes. he secuted on afoOt to a spot
whence, lying ut length on the crest
Of little hill, he could spy through
the underground that concealed him.
Below him, just beyond shallow
arroyo, lay the Morgan homestead.
It was Sunday morning, very quiet
and warm. The peace Of unaccus-

In that presence the blusterin.. val
liant Zelaya diminished to his right
stature, that of rowdyish braggart,
not lacking in courage and initiative,
conspicuously deficient in education,
wisdom, judgment.
Only less dwarfed was the repre-
sentative of the Carranza interests,
General Torreon. a trim and intelli-
gent Mexican, well grounded in the
fundamentals Of his trade-which was
simply and exclusively war.
Baron Huroki alone seemed able to
address Nogi in terms Of equality-if
without once suggesting any reluc-
tance to accord the commander in
chief the Difference that was his due.
This, perhaps, was quite natural, in
view of the authority with which
Baron Huroki had been clothed by the
imperial government at Tokyo-an au-
thority only second to that of General
Nogi, who was Huroki's only ranking
officer in the allied camp.
The occasion which had brought
about this conference was the failure
of the Mexican system of espionage
to secure any accurate Information as
to conditions Immediately north of the
