H is Celebration ULTIMATUM IS SENT MEXICAN REPUBLIC PROGRESSIVES ENDORSE HUGHES; ROOSEVELT GIVES SUPPORT Chicago- By a vote of 32 to 6, with nine members declining to vote, the National committee o f the Progreaaive party Monday, at the end o f a stormy Bession, indorsed Charles E. Hughes for President and the Bull Moose party practically went out o f existence as a National political organization. The fight in the committee to in dorse Hughes was led by George W. Perkins, of New Y ork ; Jsines R. Gsr- fleld, of Ohio, and Chester H. Russell, o f California. The radical element in the commit tee, represented by Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts; Bainbridge Colby, of N ew Y ork ; Henry F. Cochema, o f Wisconsin, and John M. Parker, of Louisiana, vigorously protested against the indorsement o f any candidate for President and fought the m ajority at every step of the proceedings. The m inority's first move was to insist on Washington, D. C.— A demand for an open meeting of the committee, the immediate release o f the American which it won after a number o f the troopers taken prisoners at Carrizal, coupled with a stern notification that M ay Be Attorney General. the United States expects an early | statement o f the purposes o f the Car ranza government was telegraphed to Mexico C ity Sunday by Secretary Lan sing. The note discloses that the State de partment received Saturday a commu- | nication from the de facto government \ stating that the Carrizal fight was the | direct result o f orders to attack Am er ican soldiers moving otherwise than toward the border, personally issued by General Carranza to General T re vino and by the latter communicated to General Pershing. In reply. Secretary Lansing requires that the de facto government transmit a definite statement "a s to the course o f action it has determined upon” through the usual diplomatic channels “ and not through subordinate m ilitary I officers.” The Mexican communication is con strued, Secretary Lansing states, “ as a formal avowal o f deliberately hostile action against the forces o f the United | States now in M exico and o f the pur- |M>Be o f attack without provocation whenever they move from their pres- j ent position” despite the friendly mis sion on which they are engaged and | which is reaffirmed in the American rejoinder. wtlNI General Carranza is required to i Immediate Release of Captured Negro Troopers Demanded.

W ill they come to see you again tonight ?” "N o one will come to me again." It was very still. H is hand groped for hers and held It with feverish strength. " I t was an act o f friendship,” he gasped. "I understand— you were tbluklng o f those other days— long ago — and you were merciful. You bad Judged and passed sentence— and then you forgave. I aui glad— It was like you— like tuy dreams of you— ” "In your dreams did I pass sen tence?'' she interrupted In the same low tone. "Y es— you remember— out there In the churchyard. What you said then— It has haunted me like a curse. ‘ I wish to God I bad never met you, Itlchard!' ” “ The woman who said that was cruel and foolish," she said. "She didn't un derstand.” “ And now?” " I f I do not understand everything, at least I have still my faith.” "Faith? In whom? An outcast »¡(b o u t name or honor?” "Y o r are not without name or honor. You may have strained both In that first defeat— I do not know bow or why— but you have not lost them. They are yours still. I believe that they will be yours always." "You know that? You believe that?” " I know.” H er arms were about him; she held bis exhausted, tortured frame In a strong tenderness. " I f I had not known I would not have re come coi here to you. Only the best o f us ci can fall from great heights. Only the bravest can pick themselves up and begin tbe long, heart-breaking climb back." She lifted her white face to the sky. biding tbe blinding tears. All was still again. The black grotesque shadow of the sentry crossed the fading line of campfire«, and she crouched lower. He passed oil Indifferently. “ You are right.” Farquhar went on at last. “That was what I prayed that you should understand. I had failed, utterly. Ignomliilously, hut not Ignobly. I can't explain. I shall never be able to; but I meant to go out o f your life and leave you happy. It was all I thought of. Can you believe that?" “ I do believe It," she answered hoarsely. "Thank you.” He smiled a little. As though overtaken by a sudden ir resistible thought, he dragged himself up and his eyes, sightless and yet tragically conscious, sought her face. C H A P T E R X III— Continued. '‘Comrade, In a few days we shall be going south— four hundred o f us and thirty officers. Tbe devil goes, too.

Four hundred men and thirty o f ficers I H ow simple! W e shall go so docilely. W e shall march on and on. forty kilometers a day. right to the edge o f tile desert, and then one fine morning you shall blow tlie reveille and tbe thirty officers w ill go on sleep ing. and we shall leave them there— and follow you wherever you lead, against the Arabs, against the devil himself, right through Morocco— to freedom ! Comrade, you are a brave Englishman. W e trust you. W e will hear and suffer anything i f you will lead us. I f only a dozen o f us gel through we shall bless you. No evil can he worse than tills. Death Is for all o f us sooner or Inter, and we would rather die us free men under you than as rats— ” Farquhar struggled to free himself. "D u ty !" be said sharply and clearly. He thought he heard a sigh and a curse— fnrther away now— and the shadow lifted. There were the stars once more, their pure sereulty un changed, and the white-glowing min arets lifting (heir lace-work o f dreams high up Into the light as o f their In spiration. It was then that Farquhar saw her. He grouud Ills teeth together to that he should not call her, and In stead prayed— "God keep her—oh, God help her!” It had not been more than a breath, tbe first utterance o f an anguished sens« o f failure, but site heard It. for •he came to him and knelt beside him. He felt her hand touch his forehead aud glide sw iftly over his helpless limbs. "S ylvia!” H er hands touched his wrists, and In answer tbe dull glowing fire hurst out afresh and shot up along bis limbs, burning deep Into his brain, so that for a moment earth and sky became an endless blazing furnace Then when tbe flame died down again be knew that her touch had set him free. He lay still, the cramped half-paralyzed body stretched out In the exhaustion o f relief, and she bent over him, peer lng Into tbe quiet face with passionate anxiety "Richard!*’ she whispered Impera tively "Osn you hear me? Do you know m « r n e looked up at her. I d the pale supernatural twilight which hovered over tbe plateau bis features bore that look of white tran.spsr.-ucy wh'cb be longs to death, but his eyes, h.ack un der tbe straight resolute brows, were deliriously alive. They were lifted to >era. but gated beyond her latently and without recognition. •'I know you," he said. " I saw you coming I tr!.«d not to call, hut you must have heard my praying for you. Did you knew I needed you?" "Y es," she answered Very gently the raised bis dark bead, so that it ruatfel against her knee, and paaecsl above him. as though It was from thence that her voice came to him. “ It Is not likely that we shall meet again," she went ou rapidly, “ aud I want yon to remember what I am saying—a* long as you live. I am not unhappy, Richard— remember that. I have gam bled away my heritage In a mad bour, and I have no right even to sorrow. I love you. I thank God that you cams Into my life. Remember that!” She bent over blm and with her handker chief brushed the sweat o f breaking fever from his forehead. “Can you bear me still, Richard— can you stU understand me?” “ I understand," be answered. “ You must live— for my sake. I am ouly a poor human being— I cannot do without you on my earth. And then— you cannot throw down your weapons now.” He started, as though at sonje far- off, fam iliar sound. “ That Is what the little gray lady would have said. ‘ W e cannot throw dowu our weapons In the first skir mish.' I have often thought o f th at Tell her— I have not forgotten.” “ I w ill tell her.” He was silent a moment. Then his eyes opened fully, aud a smile o f bril liant hope, ns o f a man who has laid strong hands on an adverse fate, flashed over his wan features. "W e must go on— at whatever cost— we must go on.” he cried hoarsely. And with a s w ift change o f tone. Infinitely pathetic in Its sheer Joy and gratitude: "H o w beautiful you are, how beauti ful— ” That wns all. His voice, roused for that brief moment In the strength of a reborn happiness, passed like a ripple on the face o f the deep silence. Very gently she slipped the lung cloak from her shoulders and laid It over blm. H e did not move. The loDg-drawn-out seconds became minutes, the minutes — hours. One hy one the great host of watchers above them flashed out, leav ing a blank waste o f darkness. A chill wind, sand-laden from the soufh. brushed against her face. Still she knelt there, with the man's uncon scious head agalust her knees, her eyes fixed in proud strong patience on the western sky, where slowly, almost Im perceptibly, the dawn was breaking. In all the glory of reawakened life the pale-gold heralds o f the morning rose above the distant horizon and, gather ing warmth and deeper fire as they swept the desert, broke in one mingled flood agalust the topmost minarets, which glowed back In splendid an swer. The bivouac fires had long since died out, and the sickly ghost o f night crept hack Into the groves of olive. I Tom the high tower of the mosque a white-robed figure greeted the one God In solemn thanksgiving— “ Holiness to thee, O God, praise be to thee. Great Is thy name!” Then came the gay, joyous call o f a bugle aud the clatter o f arms. The woman rose slowly to her feet. She stood for a moment facing the grandeur o f rising light; then she bent dowu, and with s w ift strong hands bound the unresisting figure Into a semblance o f its first helplessness. Stern Indignation blazed In her eyes as she lifted them for a moment, hut she neither flinched uor hesitated. Ouly as a stilled groan broke from tbe blood less Ups she bent lower and kissed him. "F o rgiv e me. God bless you, dear.” He smiled faintly, as though In apol ogy, In weak unconscious gratitude, then, sighing, passed from stupor Into a peaceful dreamless sleep. C H A PTE R XIV, iV» “ W e Must Go on at W hatever Coat— We Must Go on.” The End of Ramazan. On the outskirts o f Hldl bel-Abhes half a dozen Arabs stood and waited patiently. They had stood on the same *pot since the hour o f sunset, watch ing the pale emerald change to deep est sapphire, and bad neither moved nor spoken to one another. In their spotless burnoose« they had looked like statues placed there as sentinels over the gayly lighted, hustling town behind them. Now, as slowly, gracefully, the thin circle o f the new moon rose above the distant line o f palms, the foremost Arab bowed himself to the ground. "The fast Is over. Fralse he to A l lah. the all-merciful." From the distance came the dull reg ular thud of horse's boofB. A moment later a spahl, mounted ou a foam- flecked, blood-stained horse, which reeled In Its gallop, burst through their midst aud swept on toward tbe gates o f the fortifications. As he passed be dragged himself up In his saddle and whirled Ills flint lock In a semicircle about bis head. "Ram azan Is over!” he gasped. "Ouled Nall hae risen— ” Tbe last words w ete lost In tbe swirl o f wind which clung to his horse's beels. Tbe half a dozen Arabs turned their glance for a last time to the sky. Behind the brooding. Im penetrable gravity there burned up a controlled half-smlllng exultation. Then, still silent, they dispersed s w ift ly In the direction of the town. "That night—nt the Villa Bernotto’s.” he stammered— “ was It for me that you risked so much?" "Y es,” she answered simply. " I t was for you.” “ What had you come to tell me?” "That the woman who had made you suffer was unjust and unworthy o f you. She knew nothing o f life or pain or temptation. She Judged like a child.” "H a v e you learned so much In these few weeks?” “ At least 1 know now enough to Judge more gently.” He groaned In 1-IUer recollection. "That Is the worst— to know that was all useless. Oh. Sylvia. It was all a terrible mistake. 1 should have fought for you— 1 never should have yielded place lo that poor scoundrel— ” “ No, no, Richard, not a scoundrel, hut a man tempted nod suffering and maddened like yourself.” Ills head dropped hack against her shoulder. "M y God— what Irony that I should Judge— ” He seemed to drag his fevered thoughts together with a su preme effort. "W h at are you doing H M B M — here?" he demanded with the old Im M — periousness "IIo w did you come here? A T h e A r a b s a r e r e a d y f o r re - It Is not safe.
