HIGGINS PLANNING
TO BETTER YANKS
With Full Control Crafty Little
Manager Will Make Sweep
ing Changes.

When Miller Higgins. the new man
ager of the Yankees, reaches Louisville
today for the big base ball conclave
1t will be with the intention of start
ing plans which will result in sew
eral trades. by which he hopes to
strengthen tho Yankee club next sea-
son. Higgins has been in ST Louis re-
Gently. finishing up his affairs there,
and has sounded the management of the
st. Louis Browns about possible trade
which will involve Ray Caldwell.
1t is stated that the Yankee owners
are disappointed in the erratic pitcher,
for he received liberal treatment even
after he had knocked the clubs train
ing rules to pieces. While Caldwell has
pitched good ball in New York, he seems
to be pursued by mysterious jinx,
which prevents him from winning
games. He can lose them by the mar
rowest of margins, but whenever he
turned in a high-class performance the
Yankees failed to hit behind him.
Yankees Want Pratt.
1t is believed that Caldwell would
pitch better ball in new surroundings
second baseman and as Pratt seems to
be about the most desirable man in the
market. it is not unlikely that Hug
gins will engineer a deal by which
Caldwell and some other Yankee play
ers will go to ST. Louis for Pratt.
Among the Yankee players who are
likely to be placed on the market are
Gedeon, High. Nunamaker Miller, Hen
dryx and several of the recruits. Hug
gins has shown himself to be pretty
shrewd manager in trading ball play
ers. When he first took over the man
agement Of the st. Louis club he sur
prised the base ball world with a
sweeping trade, which sent Ed Konet-
chy Bob Harmon and Mike Mowrey to
Robinson, Wilson, Dolan and Butler. It
was freely stated that Higgins had
wrecked his club. but later events
proved that the wee managers judg-
ment was sound. He is sure to nego-
tiate big deal for the Yankees before
another season starts.

Stores were empty, the people were
idle. Over all was an atmosphere of
decay, and, what was far more signifi-
cant, the people seemed content.
All morning the monotonous journey
continued-a trial to Alaire and Dolo-
res. but to Jose Sanchez a red-letter
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 a siding, and after an
interminable delay il transpired that a
northbound troop-train was expected.

CHAPTER v.
a Journey. and q Dark Man.

Alaire's 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 we'll to provide her with let
tiers from the most influential Next
cans in the neighbOrhoOd what is
more. in order to pave her way toward
a settlement of her claim he succeeded
in getting telegram through to Mex
leo City-Ellsworth's 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 we'll 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
ticular 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 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 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
miliar 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.
AS 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, were growing up to weeds.

"Mr. Austin's business occupies his
time; this is my own concern. / am
not the only practical woman in Tex

Longorio appeared TO be laboriously
digesting this statement. "So!" he
said at last. ''When you heard of
this-you came. Ell? You came alone
into Mexico. where we are fighting and
killing each other? Well That is
spirit You are wonderful, superb !"
He smiled, showing the whitest and
evenest teeth.
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
word. AIaire knew the susceptibility
of Mexican men, and was immune to
ordinary fiattery yet there was some
thing exciting about this martial herO'a

him to the point of bewiiderment was
a unique triumph, and under his hun,

While he and Alaire were talking the

queerly. No ordinary man could MT

yet on the hand of this splendid bar
