southwark toward those far purple
hills.
Behind 1t the Morgan homestead
roared with flames, a funeral pyre for
the body of the murdered mother.
The girl would not let herself think
of that. She understood now that she
had been taken alive for a purpose.
She must defeat hat purpose, either
by escaping or by bringing her own
death about in attempting to escape.
She dared not think Of the horror that
lay behind, lest it unnerve her and
make her fail.
Leaving the open country, the raid
ers took to the %highroad. If they had
eluded the patrols, they did not hope
for long to go unpursued. Their safest
course lay In open flight by the fastest
practicable route to the hills. They
spared neither their horses nor them
selves.
1t so happened that the animal rid

Then he retired to well-earned

calls. Then he retired to well-earned
rest.
In the gray dusk Of the next dawn
twenty mounted and armed Mexicans
r~endezvoused with the Killer at a
point some two miles south Of the
boundary line Of the Charming 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 it 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 a 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 v of
wooded ground. secure from spying
ewes. he secuted on afoot to a spot
whence, lying at length OF the crest
Of a little hill. he could spy through
the underground that concealed him.
Below him, just beyond a shallow
arroyo, lay the Morgan homestead.
1t was a Sunday morning, very quiet
and warm. The peace Of unaccus-
toned Incidence enveloped the home
stead. By convention it was a morn
ing for a late breakfast-late, that is
in the esteem Of folk in the habit Of
rising with the sun. So it was all

smoke began to ascend from the chin.

resourceful. unafraid, and she controls
rs per cent Of the arms and ammuni-
ton 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 niggardly and short
sighted to spend a dollar in its own
defensel
"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 a setback that ex-
plodes our entire scheme Of invasion! y
"How can that BET" Torreon In
quired. .
With a grunt of impotence Huroki
pointed to a great typographical map
spread out on the table between them.
"Have you forgotten that u 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 twiddling 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 it sensible to sup
pose that her advisers have overlooked
the fact that via the Claiming ranch
is the shortest and quickest route
toward our goal?-that. If we strike at
all from this quarter, it will naturally
and surely be along that line? And,
such being the probable case, is it wise

In that presence the clustering, val
liant Zelaya diminished to his right
stature, that of a 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-
lance 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
border.
This was due to the uncommonly
thorOughgOing and tireless system Of
patrols organized by Donald Parr and
maintained by Patria and her neigh
bors.
For several weeks spy after spy had
sought to penetrate the lines-and in
variably had been obliged to give up
the attempt. No less than three,
through unchronicled mischance, had
vanished utterly and inexplicably. And
no information of any real value had
been reported back to headquarters by
those who, acting under instruction,
had confined their efforts to long-dis-
lance observation with the aid of
powerful binoculars. They saw Pa
trials biplanes hanging in the skies or
swiftly cOursing through them; but
that was all.
And hour by hour it was believed by
all those present at this conference,
the moment drew nearer when the
word to advance would be given out by
Tokyo.
1T is not only humiliating," HUI
roki vas declaring, sit is madness,
downright madness, to contemplate q
movement in force without hrst-hand
information as to what this accused
girl is up to. 1t is insensate folly to
underestimate her ability and anxiety
to hinder and embarrass us. It is all
very well for you conference.-the adj
dressed himself specifically to Ze-
laya and TOrreon-"to point to oui
forces and say the United States car
muster nothing to withstand it. That
is true-as far as we know. But you
make the mistake of thinking you
have only the regular army and the
National Guard to reckon with. You
have something else-this puny sliT
of a girl, this Insignificant Patria
Claiming. 1 know her, as you do not

to mask the smile of relish with which
he anticipated permission to commit
yet another a~trocity on American soil.

"How so?" N0gi demanded.
Zelaya bent over the map and with
the blunt end Of a greasy forehnger in

"Here is a house fully twenty miles
from the hacienda" he said. 1T IS the
home Of the man named Morgan,
ranch foreman. He lives there with

and rose, ending the conference.

DISEASE OF LITTLE CHICKS
Adverse Weather Conditions Have
Made Diarrhea More Prevalent
This Year Than Usual.

Fight diarrhea among young chicks !!
The loss of chicks from bowel trou-
BILE Is greater than the loss from all
other diseases combined, asserts Ross
M. Sherwood, acting head of the de,
partment Of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Ad-
verse weather conditions have made
this trouble more prevalent this year
than usual. M
Infection usually occurs within n
day or. two after Matching, Mr.. Sher-
wood pointed out. Death may come
within the first few days. The chicks
present q droopy, sleepy appearance.
The eyes are closed and the young
birds huddle together and peep much
Of the time. An intestinal discharge
adherlng TO the fluff Of the vent is no
ticed.s
The cause Of diarrhea Is attributed
to improper methods Of handling the
chicks and the insanitary condition of
surroundings. Generally the young
chicks are chilled or overheated before
they are hatched. Later they are over
fed.
An intestinal antiseptic, consisting Of
a water solution Of copper sulphate--
one-half teasboonful dissolved In one
gallon Of water--should be kept before
the chicksstt, all times. Chicks two
or three weeks of ago seldom develop
the acsite form, of this trouble. Where
infection does occur and treatment Is
given the disease becomes less acute
after two weeks.

mash. The total grain CONSUMPTION
OF feed for the year was 52 pounds.
af which 20 pounds was scratch mix.
ture, Throughout the year It took 40
pounds Of feed to produce dozen
eggs.
This scratch mixture, with wheat
S2.5I, cracked corn $1.35, and oats 20
cents per bushel, Is 40 cents per hun.
dred pounds cheaper than the regular
mixture of equal parts cracked corn,
wheat and oats. Another mash which
is slightly cheaper than this one is
made of 4 per cent each bran and mid
dlings, 20 per cent beef scrap, and %
per cent cornmeal.
II the wheat Is omitted from the ra-
tion, IL Is very essential to feed n con-
siderable proportion of beef scrap In
the mash, but with present prices beef
scrap is one OF the cheapest poultry
feeds, considering Its high protein con.
tent, and Its adaptability as an effec-
tive welght-making combination feed.
These experiments, the specialists
say, prove that wheat Is not essential
in an egg-laying ration and that excel.
lent results can be secured by using
corn and oats as scratch mixture,
provided that this is fed with n good
mash feed containing 2J per cent beef

SPECIAL CARE FOR ROOSTER
Keep Male Exercising, Supply Plenty
Of Proper Kind Of Food and Eggs
Should Be Fertile.


Good breeding males sometimes get
themselves out of breeding condition
by overgallantry. Instead of taking
their share of the food they call the
hens. A good plan Is to give every
male a special feed at night. Many
breeders coop the male at night and
feed him morning and night.
See to 1t that the males spurs are
not long and sharp enough to cut tho
backs os the hens. Either wrap them
with narrow strips of cloth or saw
them Off.
If the male has bare spot on the
head, or torn waffle, the hens are
likely to peck at him. Some males
will permit the hens to pluck feathers
and peck at their noses until there is
o raw surface. Grease these bare
spots with carbolized vasellne, and
coop the bird until the wound has
chance TO heal over. All open wound
of this sort Is apt to become infected
with the germ of chickenpox and give
lots of trouble. Pigeons, sparrows and
other BIRDS are said to carry chicken
pox. II the germs are in the ground.
and the male rubs his sore spots with
infected feet, he Is almost sure to get
the disease.
Keep him exercising, give him plen-
ty Of the right kind Of food and the
eggs should be fertile.
