Doubts Official Presentation.
In view Of the fact that the plan was
not to be presented until at is certain
that there will be an outbreak of war
with the United States," it was not
certain, Secretary Lansing said, that
the matter had been officially present
ed to General Carranza at all.
1t is known definitely, officials said
that Zimmerman's instructions reach
ed Count Won Bernstorff here in Wash
ington, that he forwarded them to Mex
leo City and that they reached the Ger.
man minister there.
At this point the trail Of official GER
tainty is lost to view.

Secretary Lansing fatty refused to
give any indication Of how the infor-
nation came into possession of the
United States government on the
grounds that would endanger the lives
of those concerned. For obvious rea-
sons which he could not amplify, he
refused to discuss the source in any
way.

The town of Carick-on-Suir has been
isolated from the adjoining rural dis
tricts by the heavy snow and severe
frost. The want of bread and other
provisions is being felt in the country
districts. All the rural schools are
closed. The snow drifts are ten feet
high in many places. Severe weather
still prevails in South Tipperary. The
county, covered with snow, is now
frost-bound, and rural work is Suspend

Logan pushed back his chair. AS he
turned his legs from under the table
to rise, hand rested on his shoulder.
He looked up and saw the brown
face and feeble smile of Scott. Logan
with his nearest foot kicked Sandusky.
The big fellow looked up and around.
Either by chance or in following the
sound of the last voice, his glance fell
on De Spain. He scrutinized for a
suspicious instant the burning eyes and
the red mark low on the cheek. While
he did so-comprehension dawning on
him-hfs enormous hands, forsaking
the pile Of chips with which both had
been for moment busy, fattened out,
palms down, on the faro table. Logan
tried to rise. Scott's hand rested heav.
lily on him. "What's the row." de-
manded Sandusky in the queer tone
Of deaf man. Logan pointed at De
Spain. '"That Medicine Bend duck
wants fight"
"With man, Logan; not with q
cub" retorted De Spain, matching in.
suit with insult.

interrupted Sandusky. His eyes ran
like flash around the table. he saw
how Lefever had tempted the best
place in the room. He looked up and
back at the man standing now at his
shoulder, and almost between Logan
and himself. It was the Indian, Scott.
Sandusky felt, as his faculties cleared
and arranged themselves every in.
slant, that there was no hurry what,
ever about lifting his hand; but he
could not be faced down without
show Of resistance, and he concluded
that for this occasion his tongue was
the best weapon. IF I cam" he added
stifly, I'm at your service"
De Spain made no answer beyond
keeping his eyes on Sandusky's eyes.
Tension, overhearing the last words,
awoke to the situation and rose from
his case. He made his way through
the crowd around the disputants and
brusquely directed the dealer to close
the game. While Sandusky was cash.

henson said was not audible, but II
sufficed to quiet the little fellow. The
only thing further to be settled was as

CHAPTER viii.
A Cup Of Coffee.

He was willing, after long and
bootless search, to confess to himself
that he would rather see Nan Morgan
for one minute than all women else In
the world for lifetime. The other
incidents Of the evening would have
given any ordinary man enough food
for refection-indeed they did force
De Spain to realize that his life would
hang by slender thread while he
remained at Sleepy Cat and continued
to brave the rulers Of the sinks.
But this danger, which after all was
portion OF his responsibility in free
ing his stages from the depredations
of the Calabasas gang, failed to make
on him the moving impression of one
moment of Nan Morgan's eyes. There
was in the whole world nothing he
wanted to do so much as in some way
to please her-yet 1t seemed his i'll
luck to get continually deeper into
her bad graces. Every day that he rode
across the open country, his eyes
turned to the far range and to Music
mountain. The rounded, distant, i'm.
mutable peak-majestic as the sun,
cold as the stars, shrouding in it's un-
known Businesses the mysteries of the
ages and the secrets of time-meant
to him now this mountain girl whom
Its solitude sheltered and to whom his
thoughts continually came back.
Within two weeks he became des.
perate. He rode the gap trail from
Sleepy Cat again and again for miles
and miles in the effort to encounter
her. He came to know every ridge
and hollow on it, every patch and
stone between the lava beds and the
Rat river. And in spite Of the coun.
tels Of his associates, who warned him
60 beware OF traps, he spent, under
one pretext or another, much Of the
time either on the stages to and from
Calabasas or in the saddle toward Nor.
