CHAPTER LII.

Mr.. Whit was invariably nervous In
the presence Of Dan Torrington. He was
more so now under the searching Scru-
tiny of the old mans eyes.
IT will allow Stormer to understand
many of my peculiar requirements, but
when it comes to a question of appoint
ing a secretary I must be best judge,
Mr.. Willitt Will you tell or cable your
principal to that effect?"
Willitt shifted uncomfortably. He was
already sitting on the edge OF his chair.
and any further movement would pre-
cipitate him to the floor.
I'VE have no desire to dictate or even
to suggest, Mr.. Torrington," he said,
awllwardly, land Mr.. Stormer under
stands that you are quite well able to
manage your domestic affairs without
assistance. But he particularly wishes
this person engaged"
Let Stormer engage him, then"
Torrington was smoking cigarette
through long black holder, his back to
the fire. his thin legs outstretched.
by all means let Mr.. Stormer engage
him-he has my permission. for my
part will offer no suggestion"
Its not him, it's girl" blurted
Willitt
"Then certainly will not employ
her!" retorted the other emphatically
"a girl would get on my nerves. don't
understand them. and I should be one
half the time offending her and the
other half apologizing." He glanced at
the crestfallen face and laughed. You
seem to have set your heart on this.
Who is she?"
"She is the young lady who was en-
,ployed by Mr.. Malpas."

"Is she by any chance the friend of that
very engaging young man Capt. Shan
non?"
Eyes. SIR" said the other.
"Oh!" Torrington stroked his chin.
''Is it Shannon's wish?" he asked at
last.
Shannon knows nothing about it: it
is entirely Mr. Stormer's idea. The
truth is" he began.
Now we have it," said the other
dryly. st thought that you would pass
through that painful process-tell me
the truth"
"She is in our employ and we\want
somebody near you in case things go
little wrong"
"And is she one of those capable
females who will put them rfght?"
laughed the old man. 'Iu oppose you
no more. 16ll IleI W SIC IilC t4Alo okIC4 :
noon What is her name?"
Audrey Bedford"
The words conveyed nothing to Tor
rington.
I'll see her at 3"
"She's in the hotel at this minute;
won't you see her now?"
"You brought her, did your"
"She's staying here" said Willitt TN
fact, Mr.. Torrington, she has been in
structed by us to devote her attention
to you and she is in course of carrying
out those orders"
Torripgton chuckled and rubbed his
hands.
so that is It'll" And then his face
grew graver. Send her along. Miss
Bedford? I'm not so sure, if my recol-
lection of the girl is right, that I
shan't have all my time occupied In
protecting her"
Willitt slipped out Of the room and
returned in a few minutes, ushering
in the girl, and Dan Torrington took
her in from the crown of her little has
to the toes of her dainty feet.
Anything less like detective I have
never seen" He shook his head.
And have never felt" she laughed,
as she took his hand. MT Willitt says
that you want me to be your secretary"
Mr.. Willitt is exaggerating," said

ZAPATA, Tex, April 3.-When
visitors come here April s to cele-
brate the opening of the new in
ternational bridge, many thousands
of them will possibly not be aware
Of the fact that they are to stand
on ground that vas the home OF
the last tribe of Indians to occupy
lands on the Texas side of the
Mexican border. These were a
remnant of the Carrie Indians, a
Mexican tribe who remained here
until the early sos, under a grant
issued them by the Mexican gov
ernment. 1t comprised several
thousand acres on both sides OF
the Rio Grande.
When Texas joined the American
union, the majority of the Indians
crossed the Rio Grande and settled
on lands given them on the Mexi-
can side, but a few of them re-
manned in Garlic, as Zapata was
known for many years after annex
alton, and in 1881 the last Of these
went over to Mexico. Of the tribe
that at one time numbered sew
eral thousands, but one remains
today near the scenes of their
birth rights. She is Dona Pan
chita.
Dona Panchita was born in the
old Carrie Indian village on the
American side which afterwards
became Zapata, but which long
since has passed into oblivion. The
meandering Rio Grande swallowed
it, and the only remaining vestige
of the town now is an island in
the middle of the river which can
be seen from the international
bridge.
Panchita claims to be the last of
her people. She claims also to be
a princess Of her race; a daughter
of the last chief of her tribe. AS
proof Of this claim, she holds in
fee simple 400 hectares Of lands
on the Mexican side which were
the properties Of her father and
the title Of which were protected
by a decree of Porfiro Diaz grant
ing to her the lands for life. She
never married but adopted a num-
Der of Mexican children Of mixed
blood, Offsprings Of Carrizos and
Mexicans, and to these children
she has Willed the lands.
! Dona Panchita lives in a jacal
near the end of the bridge and
has for years been the dispenser
