Irene had searched London for two
weeks. The confidence of her earlier
inquiries had diminished with each sue
cessive blind trail. which, promising at
first, led her into a maze of confusion
and disappointment. Her little store
of money was fast dwindling away; she
looked into the face of every man in
uniform with pathetic earnestness
that more than once caused her to be
misunderstood.
The organization of the military
service commanded less enthusiasm
than she felt month before She saw
It struggling with the apparently i'm
possible; 1t was as though she, in her
little studio. had been suddenly called
upon to paint all the portraits in the
world. In some degree she I'M
derstood the difficulties; In equal de-
gree she sympathized with those who
were striving TO overcome them, and
search with a logged determination
which set its teeth against admitting
that the search was hopeless.
AT last one great fear had settled
on her heart. Suppose Dave should
not enlist under his right name? In
such a case her chance Of finding him
was the mere freak of accidental meet
ing; chance not to be banked upon
i'm a country already swarming with
its citizen soldiery. :. And yet
there was nothing to do but keep on.
She had sought park bench where
groups of soldiers wefe continually
moving by. The lights shone on their
faces, and her own tired eyes followed
them necessarily. Always her ear
was alert for a voice that should set
her heart a-pounding, and more than
once she had thought she heard that
voice; more than scope of times she
had thought she had seen that figure
with its stride of self-relIance, with
strength bullying in every muscle. And
always 1t had been to learn that she
had been mistaken; always 1t had been
to feel the heart sink just little
lower than before. And still she kept
on. There was nothing to do but keep
on.
Often she wondered how he would
receive her. That cold look which
had frozen his features when she
seized the revolver In his hand, would
1t still sit there, too distant and de-
tached to be even scornful? Would
she have IL to break down? She could
not know; she could only hope and
pray and go on.
AS she turned her eyes to follow a
group Of men In uniform she became
aware of a soldier sitting alone In the
shadow short distance away. Some
quality about him caught her atten-
ton; his face was not discernible. and
his figure was too much In the shadow
to more than suggest Its outline. but
she found herself regarding him with
an intentness that set her pulses rae

Cabrera Ruled
 Guatemala P
 Years Before End

Guatemala, April 21.-Manuel Es- trada Cabrera, deposed President Of Guatemala, who is reported to have fled to Cuba following revolution which began last February, had the distinction of governing the Central American republic for p years.
 Growth of the Unionist party in Guatemala, the members of which ia vored an amalgamation of all the Central American republics under one government, was opposed by Cabrera on the ground that it was "reactionary." Upon his re-inaugu- ration as President in 1917 he issued decree severing relations between Guatemala and Germany. During the three succeeding years Cabrera s administration had been marked by internal dissentions and difficulties with Honduras and other countries close to the Guatemalan border. Numerous uprisings occurred during his regime and many attempts were made on his life. In 1907 he caused the arrest of 160 men on a charge of conspiring to assassinate him. Nine teen of these who were tried and sentenced to death, were executed.
 Many other attempts had been made to kill him On one occasion a bomb was thrown under his car riage. Cadets from the Guatemalan Military Academy, who acted as his escort, attempted to shoot him on April 21, 1908, when he entered the national palace to receive the Amer ican Minister, William Heimke. He suffered a bayonet wound in the hand and escaped death only by his bravery.
 Carlos Herra, financier, was cfo- sen Provisional President on April 12, upon the ousting of Cabrera who abandoned Guatemala City the next day and announced that he and q number of troops who had remained loyal would cut off the capitals wa ter supply and food shipments until "the rebels begged for terms
 Cabrera concentrated his quarters at La Palma, Matamoras and San Jose, and dominating Guatemala City began to shell the capital, killing, il was reported, many civilians, Mean while, the revolt against Cabreta spread over the entire country. Cab rera's government was in many re 1 spects like that of Porfirio Diaz, who
 ruled Mexico for years with an iror hand. He was born in Quezaltenangc
 on November 21, 1857, and received
 his preparatory education in tho l schools of that district, the secono lmost important in Guatemala. Later he attended a law school ill Guate

mala City from which he was grad uated in 1883.
 General Justo Rufino Barrios, then Dictator" named him as Chief Jus tice of the Department of Retalhulen where he remained until 1886, when he was appointed to the post of Chief Justice of the Department of Que zaltenango, his native district. In 1888 he was made justice of the Court of Appeals and later he became a member of the National Assembly
 Cabrera soon became a leader of the Assembly. When he had achieved this place. Barrios was assaSsinated in the streets of Guatemala City in February 1893, an election was called and Cabrera was chosen as Barrios successor. He assumed the Presi- dency the following October.
 1t was then that the real develop ment of Guatemala began. Cabrera built one of the most magnificent capitals in Central America. He was the first ruler on the American continent. it is said, to adopt avia- tiop for his army. He organized the West Point of Guatemala. He erected score of modern hospitals and many schools. He opened up the country to railroad builders and re stored the National Treasury. He promulgated decree of uncondition- al amnesty when he became Presi- dent, thus bringing together all fac tions and yet he proved strong enough to hold them in check when his enemies plotted to overthrow him, until the issue of Central Amer ican unionism arose.

General Railway Strike in Germany
 Now Threatening 2

Berlin, April 24.-That the rail- waymen's demands for increased wages have taken the shape of a peremptory ultimatum to the govern ment with an alternative threat of a general strike was indicated late yesterday when at the close of the sitting of the national assembly the socialist deputy, Kotzur moved that 2,250,00o marks be immediately ap- propriated for that purpose.
 Dr. Wirth, minister of the treas urv, replied that with deep reluc- tance he would ask the house te assist, as he had been informed that partial strikes had already occur red at certain points owing to the impression among the men that the government was unduly delaying the matter. But he protested against the coercive methods employed as z violation of the rights of parlia ment and a pernicious example tt

Heisman's Squad
 Starts Football
 Practise April 26

Philadelphia, April 21.-The Uni versity of Pennsylvania football can didates will start spring practice or April 26. They will be under the guidance of John w. Heisman, the newly elected coach and his full staff of assistants until May 15. This will be the longest spring practice in the history of the University of Penn sylvania football. In commenting upon the 1920 prospects. former coach George Woodruff said it was his opinion that football at Penn sylvania will be successful under Heisman, despite the fact that Heis- mans pet shift play will be difficult to execute under the new rules.
 Speaking of the shift play, Wood ruff said it's effectiveness under the present rules depended entirely upon the attitude of the umpire, and, therefore, was not desirable.
 While I do not know Mir Heis- man very we'll personally" he de- clared, q do know that he has been successful in the past and feel sure he will continue his success with Penn teams in the future. He is very enthusiastic and has keen insight of the game. Enthusiasm is neces- sary for a successful coach. It is the spur for originative effort in bring ing forth new plays. Heisman has this desirable quality.
 "Shift plays usually give the team using them a tremendous advantage But, under the rules, they have a great drawback. That drawback is the umpire. If that official stristly adheres to. the rules after the first time or so the play is worked, he will be bound to penalize the team.
 "It is almost impossible in working a shift play to have the players ex- ecute it and still be within the pres ent rules. When the signals for it are given the instinctive muscular action of the players, made automat- ic by long practice, will invariably cause them to move in violation ot the rules. If the umpire lets it go we'll and good The team will prob ably run away with their opponents
 "If the umpire adheres to the rules he will stop it, penalize the team and dishearten them by rendering ineffective one of their most power full weapons of defense. Personally I would never use play which de pends for it's effectiveness upon the attitude of the umpire"

EVEN MIRACLE MAN CAN'T MANAGE TWO
 WOMEN AT A TIME

 cure

Omaha, Neb., April 17.-Ben G. Cooley is miracle man" with q wife and three children. but he couldn't for-see that Old Man Trouble was waiting for him just around the corner when the two oth- er-sides of the triangle got together and compared notes. After the Omaha Police Judge had fined him, his wife had sworn out warrant for him, his affinity had deserted him and the County Attorney had warned him to go to some other city to per form his miracles. Cooley realized that even miracle man" can't keep track of two women at the same time.
 Cooley came to Omaha two or three weeks ago. He stopped at the best hotel. He sent for the newspa- per eporters the first hour he was in town and announced that he was simon-pure, dyed-in-the-wool mir acle man." and the next morning his picture and his story was on the front page.
 By the middle of the morning his room at the hotel was the Mecca for the blind, the lame and the halt He made no charge for his ''wonderful" treatment, he told his callers. But he intimated to them that he would accept a little present-the bigger the present the more "merit" the giv- CT would lay up in Heaven and the easier it would be for the miracle man to complete a cure.
 Most of Callers Women.
 That kept up for about a week Most of Gooley's callers were wom- en. And for fact, some who came ~l1r H. = l1 hotel with their wooden legs tucked E under their arms, too.
 G0oley's miracles were coming on splendidly when one day Mrs. Mir acle Man. and three little Miracle Men showed up.
 Mrs. Miracle Man went to Marie, | manicure, the next day. Marie had mop of yellow hair on her head She was very chatty.
 "Oh. have you seen the miracle man!" Marie asked Mrs Cooley. He's wonderful. I was out to dinner with him last night
 Mrs. Cooley kept still and per mitted the girl with the yellow hair to talk. She learned, among other thins that the miralce man had been assoicating with Marie" much more often than real miracle man with a wife and three little miracles should. And to can the climax, Ma rie confided to her new friend that she and the miracle man were to be married very soon.
 Come and take lunch with me, i" Mrs. Cooley said to Marie. "I want you to meet my husband" Marie accepted the invitation.
 Mrs. Cooley stepped to a telephone and called her husband. She made an appointment with him to lunch ito meet nice girl friend of mine
 Mrs. Cooley and Marie were seat ed at the table when Cooley came in. Marie's back was turned to the door.
 There was a scene in that cafe when Marie and Cooley met in the presence of Mrs. Cooley. When the armistic was declared Cooley was in full retreat, some of Marie's vel low hair was in the soup and Mrs Miracle Man was in full command of the situation.
 Going to buy you diamonds and Ford and flowers and dinners and take you to the theatre, was he?' demanded Mrs. Cooley. "Well, he can't. He's got to come home and attend to the three babies"

 The minister of transport, Dr. Bell. also said he had reluctantly ar rived at the conclusion that 1t was necessary to submit, as not only had the Prussians joined in the demands, but also the Wurtemburg and Ba- den railwaymen. But this would be the last time, he declared, that the government would yield to coercion.
 The Tages Zeitung describes this IS pitiful surrender and the bank ruptcy of democratic government.
