ments beyond the border. There was
nothing, however, to Indicate to what
extent the attitude of the Washing
ton Government toward the Sonora
revolutionary movement might be af
fected by the fact that the incidents
occurred IN Carranza controlled terri
tory.
Requests for additional warship pro-
lection at points on the east coast Of
Mexico already had been forwarded to
the navy by the State Department.
While this had no relation to the lat
est murders, it was said to indicate
the view of officials as TO the unset
tied conditions prevailing in that re-
gion, nomnally at least, still held bv
Carranza forces.
On the border, loss of Juarez, Of
ficlals said would be a serious blow
TO the federals, because of its revenue
producing capacity. They believed
complete rebel control of the State of
Chihuahua would be the logical re-
suit.
The murder of Eben Fra ncis Green
law and his young son by Mexicans
near Ell Orc only 1875 miles from Mexi-
co City, brought from the American
embassy in Mexico City prompt and
emphatic demand that the Mexican
Government arrest and punish the
murderers. The American Govern
mcnt contends that the Carranza au-
thorities were responsible for the pro-
lection of the Grcenlaws, because of
the presence of Mexican troops in the
Immediate vicinity.
The date Of the sailing of the fleet
of destroyers to Mexican waters was
not made public, but the belief was
expressed that they would be sent at
once.
Destroy erS will be stationed at Tam
plco, TuNpan, Vera Cruz and Frontrc-
raS, ready to take Off any Americans
who may be in danger either from the
Mexican federal authorities or the re-
bells. The State Department spccifical-
~ stated that these vessels were not
to take any part IN the struggle be-
tween faction in Mexico but were
asked for solely to provide haven in
case of need
Reports were received here today of
conferences attended by representa-
tvcS of Obregon, Villa, Manuel Pclaez
and Felix Diaz, which indicated that
definite coordination between the
| various factions was being arranged
Official information showed that the
revolution had been planned for scv-
cral months.
Unofficial adviccs from Mexico City
indicate that the censorship is being
exercised more sharply than ever and
that newspapers are not permitted to
print any news Of the rebel activity
IN the northern part Of the territory.

but Remy, had persuaded him as to
the safety OF his granddaughter.
Susan was to pass as an English
woman who had crossed to fetch
away the little girl from convent
at Orleans. She had been well
drilled in her part, and instructed
that, when questioned, she was TO
show the passports and speak In
broken French. She was TO saw

Susan. being staunch Protestant,

was removing her daughter from

which brought vividly to the young
man the scene Of the night before.
He advanced his hand to touch
it when a voice came from the door

"The carriage waits, Monsieur

apd Remy, glancing from the win
dow, saw drawn UP in the court
yard shabby, covered cart, with
broken and patched harness, and
filed with cases and boxes packed
in straw. This was the first step
in the journey to the "Taverne de

"Really, monsieur, 1t seems to
me that the Comedie Francaise lost
a likely recruit when Remy Peran-
court took to the profession Of
arms"
The young man, flattered, leaned
back in his chair and laughed.
"Come, Monsieur le Marquis, the
games been easy It's poor sport
to make fools of these provincials,
these jacks-in-office, who tie a
three-colored sash round their
shapeless figures and proclaim
themselves the friends of the peo-

than--pahl"
The fugitives had rested since
midday. They were few leagues
beyond Bolbec, and the sight Of the
"Croix d'Argent," which lay invit-
ingly back from the road, had
proved too attractive to the travel
worn men. The rain had poured
down incessantly and pitilessly,
and the interminable Normandy
roads had been for the last few
hours rivers of mud and at points
almost impossible. The fat fields
of the countryside lay desolate to
the horizon and the stately rows OF
poplars loomed up, gray silhou-
cites, in the mist.
But the little room of the "Croix
d'Argent" told nothing Of the
dreariness without The light
from the wood fire glinted pleas

the brass and china Of the dresser.

His eyes. large and set close to the
bridge of his nose. shone fixedly
from beneath his overhanging
brows, and gave one the impress

at one. A tangle Of reddish hair
was pushed back from a large fore
head and was tied carelessly be-
hind In a short pigtail. The face
showed shrewd cunning and was
deeply marked with the smallpox.
Altogether, thought Remy, a most
undesirable acquaintance for Mon
sieur the Marquis de Dartigny.
But he returned the strangers

came forward and stretched his
riding-boots out to the blaze. The
moment before the mans entrance

watched him. thought that the stage
had lost another capable actor In
the person Of the master Of the
Chateau Chauvilie. The Marquis
reached out to grasp the bottle,
