Dayi df ootnplsto pages followed
that abortlvu raid, lengthening teto
Scouts sent out by Captain Donald i
acting for Pa tria, report ad that
and Hnrokl had apparently j
again ventured forth from the J
thé?
mountaln fastnesses to which
had been driven by the Channlng ;
people, after their rescue of Patria
and Donald.
Nor was there perceptible any Indi
cation of concentration of Mexican
soldiery In the country south of the
border—whether troops of the de facto
government or followers of Zelaya's
outlaw fortunes.
In natural consequence that vigi
lance which had been excited among
border landowners by the raid In
sensibly relaxed. The stronger guards
which they had established against
further attempts against their lives
and properties were weakened by
degrees. With a single exception, they
relapsed into that fatally false sense
of security which had theretofore been
theirs, thanks to long Immunity from,
such outrages as had been visited upon
other sections or the border country.
That solitary exception was a note
worthy one—Patria Channlng. who
had suffered too much at the hands
of Baron Huroki and his associates to
believe that anything short of com
plete preparation to cope with further
attentions ^vould discourage the en
emy. '
Such measures, then, as Patria and
her counselors reckoned she must take
to provide against possible disaster,
must necessarily be put Into vffect
with the greatest secrecy. A minimum
of show must mask a maximum of in
telligently directed protective efforts.
Patria sprat days riding over her
lands in company with Donald, Rod
man Pillsbury and a small staff of
chosen lieutenants. The topography
of,the countryside was examined with
minute attention.
The tremendous acreage of the
Channlng: ranch favored such secrecy.
It would have been almost possible to
mobilize and maintain a great army
within Its boundaries undetected—it
would have been altogether possible
had the resources of the land been suf
ficient to clothe and equip and provi
sion such s force.
As It was, a verv considerable B um
^ .
ber of men was adued to the normal
population or the rpnch withoutand
tractlng any attention whatsoever. j
Picked employees rode, forth from
the hacienda well-nigh dally, for a !
time, on long tours Into the interior j
and east and west along the border, i
And thÿ results of their adventurings
appeared dally, by twos and threes
and singly—seasoned horsemen all,
alert, clear-eyed, determined patriots.
As a rule they timed their arrivals to
occur during the hours of darkness;
and as soon as they had reported to
Donald Parr, they were assigned to
specific dntles at a distance from the
main ranch houses, and disappeared
into the night as silentlyxes they had
come. The hinterland of the reach
swallowed them up; In Us remoter
stretches they lived and wrought sedn
lonsty<at their teaks, all-ready fog that
ra miDon s which might cogs* j«t
any hoar. Meantime they drilled quiet
ly, as ea*fili%»un Artillerymen, and as
machine gun crew». Within a period

liver a staggering blow before the en
emy can find out how insignificant our
forces are."
They sat In silence for a little, both
gazing out over the shadowed dis
tances beyond the border.
H It is too qnlet—too quiet alto
gether," Parr mused aloud. "I can't
forget that Hnrokl is somewhere out
there—hiding, planning, restlessly
scheming to serve his country's pur
poses and at the same time to gain his
revenge for the setbacks be has re
ceived at our hands."
"Nor can I forget It,"'the girl re
plied. "Of one thing we may feel as
sured : If Huroki has any voice in the
councils that are taking place down
will
The shadow of premonition dark
ened her mood transiently. She shiv
ered a little.
"I wonder," she said, "what iniqui
ties he is hatching down yonderî"
There is a certain psychic sympathy
between the minds of those that hate
well, even as it is with those who love ;
there vas less coincidence than might
be thought in the fact that, at approx
imately the same time, Baron Huroki
was uttering substantially similar ob
servations concerning Patria, at a dis-*
tance of something like a day's ride
from the hacienda.
The scene was the main room of an
adobe dwelling of somewhat more pre
tentious proportions and appointments
than is commonly to be found in the
wilder sections of Inland Mexico.
There were a number of other adobe
houses near it; but this was the larg
est of the lot; and it was further dis
tinguished by a restless going and
coming of orderlies rad officers of su
tkese bad been going on for weeks bo
Occaalenally. their reconnaissances
carried these swift sentries of the air
lanes south of the border; but the re
ports of their Observers were Invaria
bly destitute of alarming information.
Apparently the Mexican population
was apathetic, resigned to the pursuits
of peace. There was no more.gun-run
nlng that could be discovered. There
was no movement of troops percept
ible. There were no raids. There waa
not aveu a lonely case of sniping to
keep the patrols on the qui vive.
For a!!>thfit,:Pstria's preparation»
were pushed forward with rab a te d

961, and the value of merchandise
Louisiana was admitted into the
Union in. 1812. With a gross area of
48,506 square miles, of which
45,409 represent land surface, it
renk» thirtieth in size among the
states. Its inhabitant» in 1900 num
bered 1,381,04, in .1910, 1,656,388,
and its estimated population in i914
was 1,773,000. In total population
Louisian» ranked twenty-fourth in
1910 and in density of poputetoia-it
ranked twenty-eenventh*, with 36.5
inhabitants per square mile, the cor
responding f igure for 1900 being
30.4. The urban population in 1910
rrtbat ia,,the population residing in
incorporated place» ha.ving 2.500 in
habitant or apora-^-wa» 496,516, or
30 per. cent., of the- total, as against
26.5. p»r cent; in 1900. There few in
tiie state jn 1914 six cities—Alexan
dria,.Baton. Rouge,. Lake Charles,
Monroe, New .Orleans and . Shreve
port—each having an estimated pop
ulation of. more than 10,000. These
cities, whose , aggregate population
formed 25.4 per cent of the estima
ted total population of Louisiana in
that year, reported 32.5 per cent of
the value of the state's manufactur
ed products. New Orleans alone,
with an estimated population of
361,000, or 20.4 per cent of the to
tal for Louisiana, produced 27.3 per
cent of the state's manufactured
products, as measured by value.
The steam-railway mileage in
1914 was 5,720, and the electric
railway mileage in 1912 was 199.
Excellent facilities for water trans
portation are provided by the Miss
issippi River ports on the Gulf of
Mexico, and an especially well-de
veloped canal system.
Agriculture is the leading indus
try. The total value of all farm
crops grown in 1909 amounted to
$77,336,143, the leading ones being
cotton (including cotton seed),
sugar cane and corn, valued at $20,
274,747, $17,752,537, and $16,480,
322, respectively. The state's pro
duction of cotton from the growth
of 1914 was 449,458 equivalent to
500-pound bales, or 2.8 per cent of
the total in the United States.
According to the annual report of
the United States Geological Sur
very, Louisiana led all other states
in the production of sulphur in 1914,
ranked fifth in the output of salt,
and contributed an important part
of the total production of petroleum
and natural gas. The salt deposits
are extensive and of unusual purity.
The sulphur deposits are extraordi
nary and the sulphur mines of the
state divide with those of Sicily the
control of the world's market of this
product. •
The value of merchandise export
ed from the port of New Orleans in
the fiscal year 1914 was $193,839,

Importance and Growth of
, tures.
The natural resources of Louisi- !
ana .which ate Qf great importance, :
have a marked influence o'n the es- ■
tablishmeat and growth of many in- j
dustries. Some of the materials used
in manufacture—such as timber,
sugar cane, cotton,' and rice—are
produced in large quantities. Lum-1
her alone supplied the raw material
lor almost one-fourth of the total
products, as measured by value; and
cotton, sugar cane, and rce together
constituted the raw materials for
about one-third of the total
Louisiana's manufactured pro
ducts in 1914 were valued at $255,
312,648, and the average number of
wage earners employed in its manu
factoring industries was 77,665. In
that year Louisiana ranked twenty
first among tha states in the former
respect and twenty-second in the lafr
ter; the corresponding ranking in
1909 was nineteenth and twenty
first, respectively. The output of
manufactured product«* fn Louisiana
in 1914 represented 11 per cent of
«he total for the United &ttees, as
measured by value; tee eoftespond

were 1.1 per
