.MIDDIES CROSS Line
THREE LENGTHS AHEAD
Potomac Boat Club Eight Downed by
Annapolis.

Annapolis April 14.-The Potomac
Boat Club picked eight was defeated
by the fast Naval Academy first var
sity crew here this afternoon by three
open lengths.
The better condition of the Mid
shipmen was the telling factor in the
Washington crews defeat. the Poto-
macs getting the Jump on the Middies
at the start, leading by a half-boat
length until the eighth of mile mark
was reached. Here the pace began to
tell and the powerful sailor crew
showed its superior condition, taking
the lead and holding II until the finish.
Coxswain Kintz. of the Potomacs,
called his men to p ick II up, when he
saw the Annapolis b oys aiming, but
the visitors were not equal to the task.
They fought gamely against odds, but
could not overcome the handicap of
lack of condition.
The Washington crew made a vain
effort to overtake the Navy oarsmen
near the finish line, when Hutterly ran
the stroke up to thirty-four and the
men responded well. but the lead of
the local crew was too great to over
come.
Coach GIendon, of ANNAPOLIS, in
speaking of the race, stated the Poto-
mac crew showed themselves to be an
excellent club crew, but they were out
of their class against a first varsity
eight, that has better facilities and a
greater time for training.
Navy has a powerful. smooth work
ing crew that should give an excellent
account of themselves against Penn
sylvania when they meet next Satur-
day.
Coach Hecox said he was perfectly
satisfied with the showing of his crew,
as the men sat up and rowed the
best they were capable of w ith the
short time they had to condition them
selves. The perfect equipment used
by the Middies was another factor in
the race" said Hecox, "and feel my
boys would have made a very close
race OF II had they a good stiff boat,
but do not want to take any credit
away from the Annapolis crew, as
they are a fast. we'll trained eight, and
deserved to win"
II the Potomac crew is able to keep
together for the season they should
win several good races in the regattas

Of cactus and dagger, of thorn and

The roads were unfenced, the mea-

splendidly, and the sunset grew more
brilliant. more dazzling, until it glori-
fed the whole mean, thirsty, cruel
countryside.
Dawes eyes were set upon that riot
Of blazing colors, but for the time 1t
failed to thrill him. In that weller of
changing hues and tints he saw only
red. Red! That was the color of
blood; it stood for passion, lust, vio-
lence; and it was fitting badge of
color for this land of revolutions and
alarms. At first he saw little else

was Mexico-red and yellow, blood and
gold, lust and license. Once the riders
fancy began to work in this fashion, it
would not rest, and as the sunset grew
in sp1endor he found in it richer mean
ings. Red was the color of woman's
lips-yes, and a woman's hair. The
deepening blue of the high sky over
head was the hue of certain woman's
eyes. A warm, soft breeze out Of the
west beat into his face, and he remem-
bered how warm and soft Alaire's
breath had been upon his cheek.
The woman of his desires was yon-
der, where those colors warred, and
she was mantled in red and gold and
purple for his coming. The thought
aroused him; he felt only a throbbing
eagerness to see her and to take her
In his arms once more before the end.
With his head high and his face
agleam, he rode into the west, into the
heart of the sunset.

lores inquired of her mistress, o few
days after their arrival at La Feria.
"They tell me that Mexico is invaded
and that the American soldiers have
already killed more than a thousand
women and children"
"Who tells you this?" Alaire asked.
"The men-everybody," Dolores
waved hand in the direction of the
other ranch buildings. "Our people are
buzzing like bees with the news, and,
of course, no one cares to work when
the Americans are coming"
II shall have to put an end to such
talk"
sThis morning the word came that
the revolution Is ended and that the
soldiers of both parties are uniting to
fight for their liberties. They say the
gringos are killing all the old people
everyone, in fact, except the girls,
whom they take with them. Already
they have begun the most horrible
practices. Why, at Espinal'-

"There isn't any war, and there

"Glory Of God! 1t would be the end

You can imagine what would happen

over which his will power had no con-
troll. Nor would insensibility come to
his relief-Law watched him too care
fully for that. He could not even voice
his sufferings by shrieks; he could only
writhe and reich and gurgle while the
ropes bit into his flesh and his captor
knelt upon him like a monstrous stone
weight.
But Jose had made a better fight
than he knew. The canteen ran dry at
last, and Law was forced to release his
hold.
evil you speak?" he demanded.
Thinking that he had come safely
through the ordeal, Jose Shock his
head; he rolled his bullying, bloodshot
eyes and vomited, then managed to call
God to witness his innocence.
Dave went into the next room and
refilled the caGteen. When he re-
appeared with the dripping vessel in
his hand, Jose tried to scream. But
his throat was torn and strained; the
sound of his own voice frightened him.
Once more the torment began. The
tortured man was weaker now, and in
consequence he resisted more feebly;
but not until he was less than half con-
scious did Law spare him to recover.
Jose lay sick, frightened, inert. Dave
watched him without pity. The fell
lows wrists were black and swollen,
his lips were bleeding; he was
stretched like dumb animal upon the
vivisectionist's table, and no surgeon
with lance and scalpel could have
shown less emotion than did his in
quisitor. Having no intention of de

"I? Bah! Who says + killed hin? p
Jose glared defiance. "Why are you
looking at me? Come! Take me to

good"
''It's lucky rode to Las Palmas this
morning. In another hour you would

He inclined his head toward the

you be willing to help me?"
Jose's brows lifted. whats this

"Where is Sonora Austin?"

"Oh yes, you do. She started for La

You'd better tell me the truth, for

did his best to read the Mexican's ex-
preston, but failed. "Senor Eds death

and I'm willing to pay, with your lib

was plain.
Jose exclaimed: "Ho! I under

glad to be rid of him. Well, we have
40 business fighting with each other"
"Will you tell me-"
"Tll tell you nothing, for know
nothing"
"Come! I must know"
Jose laughed insolently.
Laws face became black with sud.
den fury. His teeth barred themselves.
He took step forward, crying:
"By heaven! You will tell mel"
Selling his prisoner by the throat, he
pinned him to the wall; then with his
free hand he cooked Longorios re-
volver and thrust it's muzzle against
Jose's body. '"rell mel" he repeated.
His countenance was so distorted, his
expression so maniacal, that Jose felt
his hour had come. The latter, being
In all ways Mexican, did not struggle;
instead, he squared his shoulders and,
staring fearlessly into the face above
him, cried:
Shoot"
For moment the two men remained
so; then Dave seemed to regain control
of himself and the murder light flick.
