PERSHING S CAMP AT THE FRONT IN MEXICO, April 5. —(By Aeroplane land Motor Couriers to Columbus, New Mexico, April 11.)—The ride of Lieuten ant Albert Myer, of the Seventh cavalry, ' a*, the Guerrero fight, when Colonel , George A. Dodd caught the Villa forces , I’or the ffrst time, was described here I today by an officer from Dodd’s column who brought dispatches to the headquar | ters camp. Lieutenant Myer is from New York, a grandson of the former chief signal ' officer of the United States army. During much of tlie fight Colonel Dodd had a position on one of the hills which form a bowl about the town of Guerrero. A mile and a half from this bill Colonel Dodd saw some Villa troops, numbering possibly one or two hundred, riling stealthily through a ravine. Moving in their direction, but in such a position that they might not see the ; Villa men. was Major Tompkins' squadron of the Seventh cavalry. There seemed a chance for the Villa force to < take the squadron on the flank, and Col onel Dodd ordered Lieutenant Myer to • carry word to Major Tompkins of the bandits' movement. Myer rode a horse conspicuously i marked with white. Between him and Major Tompkins lay a mile of .open field, swept by the fire of snipers. Lieutenant • Myer made the distance at a run, jump . ing ditches, dodging boulders and leap ing fences. The ride thrilled the officers who were watching. The messenger reached the American squadron in time | to warn them of the bandits* position. Rare Old Bible Is Sent Emory By an Admirer Bishop Warren A.

THE RED CIRCLE (Continued front Last Issne.) SYNOPSIS THIRD INSTALLMENT. Jim Borden, crook, tries to wipe out his family by killing: his son and himself, thus ending the crim inal curse of the Red Circle birth i mark. June Travis, girl reformer, tells her nurse Mary of the im pulse to commit suicide. Mary sees the Red Circle on the back of June's right hand. ' • Mary is overcome, but solidly re fuses to tell June the terrible secret. After June threatens to ask her mother the meaning- of the "Red Circle" brand, Mary*' breaks down and confesses. June proves to be the daughter of Jim Borden, born in a little min ing town in the west and through peculiar circumstances raised by Mrs. Travis m the belief that it was her daughter. They promise to keep it secret from Mrs. Travis. Detective Lamar, suspicious of June, calls at the Travis home on an invitation from June. During the conversation, Lamar asks her if she had seen anything of the "veiled” woman in black; she an swers in the affirmative. The butler blunders in with a piece of burned note, which June had stolen from a loan shark, but one of several benevolent crimes which she has committed, and asks whether It has any value. Trap ped, June offers to show Lamar where she found it. rOUBTH INSTALLMENT. FOR seven or eight blocks, after she left police headquarters, Juno Travis hurried on, from street to street. Policeman Meeks ever close at her side. The officer’s eyes never for an instant left the coat that hung over his companion's arm. Meeks, being new to the force, was tremendously zealous in carrying out to the minutest detail, every order of his chief. If that bedraggled and gas oline-talnted black coat had been the interest on the national debt, Meeks could not have watched it more closely. Every time June would quicken or re tard her pace, Meeks would at once ac commodate his stride to hers; sticking close to her elbow. The girl was in despair. She had planned so cleverly this kidnapping of the coat! She had worked out her mad scheme to the tiniest atom. And now*, through the duty-sense of one stupid policeman, she had lost her battle. It had seemed a simple thing to go to headquarters, disguised as a man. to pass herself off as a tailor, to se cure the coat, and thus to deprive the police of the only clue that could con nect her with the Veiled Woman. Once she could hide the coat in her own home she would be safe. Wholly safe. And now—w’hat was she to do? She could not escape from this porous-plas ter policeman. Clad in this awkw-ard masculine attire, she could not hope to outrun him. The night was too bril liantly moonlit for her to dodge him in the darkness. What was to be done? To her fe vered Senses it seemed as though he were beginning to watch her with a vague suspicion added to his former watchdog zeal. June could have w’ept, through sheer despair. She had a crazy impulse to attack him with her Malacca cane; of trying to beat him into senselessness. She even drew off her gloves, so as to wield the stick more powerfully. But almost at once, she saw the stark folly of such a move. The man w-as fully six feet tall. He looked strong and wiry. At her first blow’, he would undoubtedly wrench the cane away from her and club her with his night stick. Moreover, the spectacle of a civilian attempting to thrash a police man would be certain to draw crowds— and probably other policemen. She was helpless, despairing. And with the bind Instinct of the despairing, she unconsciously turned her steps homeward. From the business district, she and her companion now came out into one of the residence sections. There were fewer people abroad here, but the moon- Georgia Senators Plan to Attend State Convention BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, April 11.—It is be lieved probable that Senators Smitta and Hardwick will attend the state convention at Macon on May 3, unless the state of the public business re quires their presence in Washington. The senators have received many let ters from friends in Georgia, request ing them to be present at the state convention and both are anxious to attend. « LABOR-fiARD TO GET IN COLUMBUS DISTRICT COLUMBUS, Ga.. April 12.—Nearly every day new contracts are being awarded in the Columbus district and new enterprises are being launched. Already building operations have be come so brisk that labor is scarce in the district and the music of the ham mer and saw can be heard in every section.

[lffl D«pt. 435, CHICAGO , lit spaces were larger and there were no alleys or dark doorways into which she could hope to dive. "Where does this cutter of yours live, anyhow, Dummy?" the policeman was asking. "He must do his cutting with solid gold shears, if he lives up in this region. There ain't a house around here that don’t rent for an easy eight thousand a year. And those that ain’t rented belong to millionaires. Where are you steering me?” June paused, uncertainly. This farce could not go on much longer. Meeks was beginning to grow suspicious. There could no longer be any doubt of that. The girl looked about her in des peration. . . , , ■V quarter block ahead the boulevard split into a "Y.” At the left it con ■ tinued at Us present level. At the right ran a flight of forty marble steps, leading downward to a terraced avenue one tier below the boulevard on the city’s hillside. And then, as ever of late in her mo ments of direct need, an inspiration came to the girl. It was an inspira tion, which a week earlier, could never by any possible chance have occurred to her. Indeed, even now, she found herself dazedly marveling at it —revolt- ing at the idea it presented; yet oddly powerless to resist it. Once more she took up her former brisk stride; the grumbling Meeks close behind her. As they came to the fork of the boulevard she halted again. "Well,” growled Meeks, “which way, now? ” . . She pointed down the long fhgnt of marble steps, snowy in the vivid moon light. The man hesitated. She glanced at him and sajv the reason. His eyes were fixed in stupid wonder at the right hand with which she was point ing. on the surface of the hand gleamed the Red Circle; necessarily dis tinct in the clear light. June caught the policeman roughly by the arm with her other hand, point ing again toward the terrace beneath them, and started down the steps at a run. Fearful of losing sight of the precious coat, the policeman also broke into a lumbering run, protesting: “Hey, go easy there! What’s your hurry? Want me to break my neck?” Even as he spoke June planted her feet firmly on one broad step and came to an abrupt standstill. Meeks could not his own speed as suddenly. So he lunged ahead a step or two. As he lumbered past her the girl deftly swung her stick, holding it by the ferule end. The crook handle caught Policeman Meeks neatly around the left ankle. At the same instant June braced her self and jerked backward with the stick. It was a trick she had seen hockey players use, when the referee was not looking. Always it had worked to a charm; but never before as completely as now. Policeman Meeks’ six feet of height anti Policeman Meeks’ one hundred and seventy pounds of weight, driven on by his impetus, shot forward into space; his balance irretrievably lost. Policeman Meeks’ body smote the stairway about six steps further down; bounded in air; missed a step or two: then struck the stairway again and proceeded to roll rapidly down the re maining twenty-four steps; stopping only when, at the bottom, it rolled into a stone bench with a force that drove nearly every cubic inch of breath out of Policeman Meeks’ inflated lungs. For a bare half second the patrolman lay there, half stunned and breath less Then he scrambled groaningly to his w -et, sore all qver. Before he was fairly off the ground he drew his re volver. A glance above showed the white stairway was empty. Limping, swear ing, moaning, he hobbled upward to the boulevard above, pistol in hand. But at the summit, the street in both directions lay vacant and silent under the flood of moonlight. “Gone!” croaked Policeman Meeks, still catching his breath with diffi culty. "Gone! An’ now wottinhell will the chief say to me! Lord, but I sure must ’a’ been born on a Friday!” Yama, the Travis’ Jap butler, was a sentimental soul. Moonlight affected him as it is supposed to affect tomcats. But, instead of yearning to sit on a back fence and howl he had a less feline and more picturesque fashion of greet ing fair Lunar’s rays. It was Yama’s custom, on moonlit nights, to take his Japanese flute from his tin trunk in the storeroom and to fare forth into the farthest reaches of the Travis garden; there to lean pen sively against a tree in the midst of a clump of shrubs, and his eyes on the moon to play sentimental and hideous Japanese melodies to it. The sound- was horrible but it sooth ed the heart of the exiled Yama; anl always brought up before his mental vision a picture of fragrant cherry blossoms, of swaying temple bells, of homeward winging white storks against a blue Nippon sky—of home-r-and of a Kyoto geisha girl who wore her sash with the bow in front and who had robbed him, on one blissful evening, of seventeen yen. Tonight, Yama • was tootling away right dreamfully, when the sound of crackling bushes broke in upon his music. He lowered the long flute and looked about him. He heard the crack-' ling sound again—this time nearer the | house. He stepped out of the shrubbery clump to investigate. Then the flute ! fell from his nerveless fingers and he i stared goggle eyed. Across a patch of lawn a figure was running; its feet soundless on the turf. The figure reached the house. It paused at the bottom of a vine trellis, then skillfully began to climb the trellis. It reached a second-story balcony, stepped over the railing and began to fumble with the long French windows of a room. The windows opened aJid the figure glided into the room, softly ; closing the windows behind it. The spell was broken. With a yell of ; alarm, Yama grabbed up his fallen flute and dashed for the house. A sec ond or so later burst unceremoniously into the library where Mrs. Travis and Marv were sitting. “’ScuseT >e sputtered. Scuse, please! But man climb up to honorable Miss June’s room!” “What?” screamed Mrs. Travis and Mary in one breath. “Yes!” panted Yama. his eyes rolling wildly. “I see him. While I make a sweet musid on this flute in a garden. "I heard you," moaned Mary. . 1 thought it was cats. What’s this you re tellin’ us about a man —?’’ "I play and I hear a noise. I look.

Let us in, dearie!

She tore off her wig, shook down her hair, flung a negligee wrap per around her, rumbled the pillows and threw back the coverings of her bed, an J presently appeared, sleepily blinking, in the doorway. “My dear! My dear!” shrilled Mrs. Travis. “Come out quickly. There'-s a burglar in your rooms." "A burglar?” repeated June, sleepily cross. “How silly! There can’t be.” Mary, who feared nothing human or superhuman, had darted past her into the suite. Yama tremblingly followed. Mrs Travis brought up the rear. At first cautiously, then with grow ing courage, as no burglar confronted them, the three searched the entire suite. June, still drowsy and resentful at being waked from so sweet a sleep, followed them from place to place. "Who saw this wonderful burglar?” she asked, as they finished poking be hind the portieres of the sitting room. "Yama saw him,” said Mrs. Travis. “Or he thought he did." “Oh'” laughed June, "Yama, eh? I might have known it. , This is the fourth burglar in six months that .Yama has discovered, and that nobody but -ama was able to see.

"Iln speaking ot that ladies’ tailor who came from you ten minutes ago to get the coat —” "I tell you,” reiterated Lamar, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. 1 haven’t even seen any ladles’ tailor—" "Good Lord!” groaned the chief, in sudden consternation. “Sold out!
