MEXICAN CAVALRY
 NEARER VERA CRUZ
Federals Expect Fall of Cordoba
 Ratification of U. s. Claims

By The Associated Press.
 Mexico City, Feb. 1. (Ry Radio via Fort Worth Star Telegram 1.-The federal cavalry has reach Forth. near Cordoba. in it's advance upon Vera Cruz, according to a war department announcement, which also states that General Urbalejo has occupied Ori- zaba without resistance.
 Official announcement of future federal movements was withheld, but it was intimated that capture of Cor doba is considered probable since the failure of the revoiutionists to defend Orizaba and their precipitate retreat after their defeat at Espcranza indi- cates they have no ready reserves. Indications are that the federals will attempt to take advantage of the broken morale Of the fleeing rebels and try to dominate the difficult coun- try in the vicinity of Metlac Bridge and adjacent tunnels.
 Specials from Vera Cruz indicate that the first statement of rebel cas- ualties placing the number at ?,0oo was too conservative since numerous wounded prisoners still are being counted with prospects the total will reach 4.ooo. This number includes many prisoners and descrters.
 Forth is in the state ot Vera Cruz approximately 65 miles west Of the port of Vera Cruz.

 "I did that" She returned to the rocker ,wiping her eyes on her stiff new black bordered handkerchief. There was little else to know her by, poor darlin', but the sunny hair of her, for the bit of nightgown an wrapper had been burned away away an'-an' you'd not have known her yourself, Michael. Thank God they'd sent ye to Philopolis an ye got back too late."
 He stifled the exclamation which rose to his lips and asked slowly:
 Tt was as bad as that, then? It was only by her hair that you were abel to identify herr"
 "Yes, Michael" Preoccupied by her own grief Ma Brennan was still oblivious to the new note in his voice. I wassnear crazed an when at last I give up all hope O findin' her amongst the livin'-most O the-the others were accounted for. I shall never forget it till my dyin' day."

 ''The cry of the creech owl" I replied, I'm not very good at it, but Mrs. Underwood can give the call very realistically, and as she will be listening for my response it vii not matter if ii is not so realistic as if might be"

Who Drives the Other Boat That Follows Fast?

NOW" said little Mrs. Bird in- cisively. Make your good-bys brief
 l stopped and kissed my husbands s small niece and nephews, bidding them good-by with a voice that I tried strenuously to make cheery. But my spirits were anything but high. It seemed, suddenly, a sad and mon- strousiy unjust thing-this enforced hurried flight to a far country be- cause of the greed and meanness of their dead fathers relatives.
 It was a perilous undertaking, also, I told myself, with vision of the obstacles which still intervened be- fore they should arrive safely in their alien haven And in the fare well embrace which Harriet gave me there was q conyulsiye clmging. ut terly foreign 10 her solf-contained nature, which told me that she shared my apprchensions Of tle difficulties in front Of them.
 But neither of us gave verbal ut- terance to the fears that were ob- sessing us.
 Tell Mother everything went all right" Harriet said quietly.
 'fn keep her from worrying" I replied. You're sure you have the address right for writing or ca bling?"
 For answer she touched her bodice where, in a little oil silk packet, she always carries a card of identifica- ton and an emergency sum of money. To these she now patently had added the carefully selected ad- dress which Dicky had given her from which he could secure her mes ssges.
 Mrs, Bird, the young driver and the man in charge of the boat had been busy getting the luggage and the children aboard. Harriet and the small Roderick stepped into the boat, and Edwin wrung my hand hastily.
 You're a trump. Madge." he said heartily, "Good-by."
 Mrs. Bird is Optimistic
 In another minute the small mo- tor boat which held them was chug- chugging its way along the winding creek. The noise it made seemed terrifying loud to me.
 Wont those men, watching in front of the house, hear that and suspect something?"
 What good would it do them if they did?" Mrs. Bird rctorod. By the time they can get a boat and go after them, our people will be on board that other boat and far enough out in tn bay so there will be no chance to distinguish their craft from any other Of the many in the harbor."
 The last word was hardly out Of her mouth before tho noise of an other motor boat engine punetuated | her sentence as with an exclamation l point. Mrs. Bird wheeled toward l the sonnd.
 Isn't that Grifnn's?" detected l strained note in her voice as she ! nccostcd the young chauffeur, who stood just behind her.
 lc listened to the noiFe carefully then delivered his andgmcnt cauti- ously:

 "It can't be---" she broke of i abruptly and turned to mo. "lt's | only fair to tell you," she said "that | Griffin occasionally rents out his boat. There's hundred to one shot that | the people behind you may not have overlooked this bet of ours but you may he sure they won't copper 1t. George. who's in charge Of your party, is wise old bird.

 Tho nice fat policeman was doubt - ful. but Racgcdy Andy said. Even if you are changed, Raggedy Ann can change you back into the nice fat po- liccman' again. if you are not satis- fled"
 So the nice fat policeman finally said. "All right. Go ahead, Raggedy Ann!" and stood up while Raegedy Ann read the magic words from the book.
