came from the room, the men hurled
their weight against the door and
finally broke 1t down.

had set fire to the mass. She then
stepped into the middle of the blaze
and stood there until her figure famed

The woman was rushed to the sur

was done to alleviate her agony, but
her body was literally roasted over

chant of Marlboro, Va, was
dead sure" he saw snakes while
he slept, and he is not yet en-
tlrely convinced he didn't.
Mrs. Knee had an encounter
with six-foot black snake while
she was gathering eggs late In
the afternoon. The snake was
colled up under hen, and Mrs.
Knee touched the serpent when
she reached In to get the eggs
the hen had laid.
After the snake had been
killed an egg came out of its
mouth, being the egg the hen
had laid while sitting on the
snake. Mrs. Knee, 1t was said,
laid the egg aside, but Mr.. Knee
got 1t by mistake, boiled it and
ate 1t. During the night he had
terrible dreams, nelghbors said,
all caused by eating the egg.

with his eyes and the end was draw
from the box
Where are the pictures?" the general de-
manded. II don't see any,
They don't come out until they are devel
oped, said the cameraman, while mentally
he crossed himself
Villa, however, wasn't going to take anv
chance IN the pictures getting back TO
America, SO he pulled the film out until it
was in great heap at his feet.
"Why don't you burn it," one of his
henchmen mildly suggested
Because it won't burn" said Villa. who
would never have risen so far in photography.

And the general pulled at his proud mustache
savagely. How dare anybody dispute him?

Moreover I will show you, hombre." said
the general Bending over the pile of cellu-
lold, he struck a match. The general hasn't
mad such start in four years. 1t sure took
MN right back to Laredo. In a moment it
was al ABOUT MIN, and back he staggered
gasplng and suffering, his mustache a. mere
fragment of its former glory
The general was for disposing of the nho
tographer at once; one could come down
there and betray his pet mustachios without
paying the penalty Not if the general knew
himself. 1t was all the interpreter, could do
to save the photographer by telling the general
that the photographer was merely doing what
he was paid to do. At last The general COM
promised the matter by putting guard over
the photographer. Two men were assigned to
the duty and the photographer was locked up.
Finally when the last repairs were made on
the tractor the camera and tripod were re-
turned to the photographer and he was hur
ried to the railroad. But the two guards never
left him, day night, never took their ewes
off him until he arrived at the border. And
then he opened the box. Fortunately the nega-
tive was in good condition-in far better eon-
dltion than were the mastaehies.
And no one will be more surprised thar, the
great general himself when he hears that his
pictures are once more abroad IN the land
for did he not burn them himself with his own
hands. Carrambal
By the great hot chill concarne the next
time an advertising man comes down there to

business you've got to be a hustler Of re-
cent years in Mexico competition has been too
keen for dilletante to make success.
AT last the tractor was set up and attached
20 the bmder and about noon the general
returned from one Of his mysterious morning
errands. Proudly he walked behind it while
1t gathered the golden gran-that is, until
the machine got stuck and then the general
reverted to type. And as he thus freelv ex-
pressed his opinion on things in general and
especially Americans, he began eyeing with
fresh interest the cameraman cranking awav.
Through the interpreter the cameraman. c.
}. Kaho, told him that he was merely taking
picture of the tractor.
AT last the tractor was started again and
the cameraman ordered the driver to stop
while he focused. With that the general be-
gan to crack his fists, for it must be known
that for temper the general is no Queed.
he informed the cameraman that nobody on
mat ranch gave orders except himself. The
cameraman, however, managed to focus the
lens ON the general and began cranking as
the general walked behind the binder 1he

ton seized him. Motion picture film in a
camera runs from a top container, where it is
unexposed, to a lower one, where it is taken
up Taking out his knife he cut the film

handed the guard the box containing the

along who would make motion pictures of the
tractor in operation on Villas ranch and
would give them print if they would let his
photographer pass himself off as their staff
advertising man merely out to take pictures
OF the tractor at work, the pictures to be used
by future statesmen. The deal was arranged,
and the mechanic who was to set up the ma
chine and the photographer who was to take
the pictures of it in operation were started
south.
Hardly had they crossed the border when
Villa IS agents began to report on them, for be
1t known that the great bandit takes no chance
with strangers. He has been in the business
too long to believe that all is with the world
as Or. Frank Crane says it is. At last they
arrived at Rosario the end of the railroad
Where Villas cars came to meet then-and
three armed guards who wanted to sobe the
camera. More than one man had crossed the
border to turn up missing
They found Villa on his estate, lord of all
he surveyed and master of thousand hills
A splendid tomb he has built for himself, with
all the ornateness of the last resting place of
PERSIAN prince. He is not soon to be forgotten
when he goes to his banditical reward. And

VILLA HAS HIS PICTURE TAKEN

TWN HE first motion pictures of Villa for
II mer bandit, taken in years were on
Ia broadway last week-and this is what
it means to take pictures of a general
who has given up the bandit business in
favor Of the simple quiet of country pleasures.
When a prominent bandit retires he draws the
hole in after him and doesn't want anybody
with lens coming around him. Ne, indeed!
Senior Francisco Villa, the worlds leading
bandit, has been the goal for motion picture
Photographers for four years. They have been
constantly his trail, but it was only last
week that motion picture was made of him
and the man who made it is still seeing things
in his sleep.
Ever since Villa gave up the profession in
which he so emfnently distinguished himself
he has been in hiding. Now it develops that
he has merely been on his ranch of several
thousand acres. 1t seems that no one ever
thought of looking on his ranch or in his castle
for him. Looking for bandit who has risen
rapidly in his chosen profession is not lob
that is particularly alluring. 1t is even more
preferable to go to Coney Island on Sunday.
However, General Villa had retired to his
estate there to cultivate soy beans and his
mustache-both a great favorte with him
for be it known the general is as vain as lesser
lights But especially has he always been
proud of his mustache, which has been brought
to high state Of cultivation. In that respect
it is far ahead of his ranch, but with all that
General Francisco is determined to make lust
as great success of farming as he did of
raiding and to use in the latter the same up
to-date methods as distinguished him in his
border work.
So very quietly he let word filter through
to Cleveland tractor company that he was
IN the market for machine. And so the deal
made. Word got to the editor of one of
the news reels that tractor was to be shipped
to Villa. For years motion picture of Villa
has been considered the biggest thing that a
melton picture news reel could pull off Elk
petition after expedition has gone out after it
to return with their flag of hope trailing in

The word reached H. e. Hancock of The
Fox News, that something was to be pulled
off with Villa. Immediately he got the tractor
