MRS. L. G. DE LARA.

the instigation of Diaz, are in
danger of Immediate rearrest
when their terms are completed
in the spring, Mrs. L. Gutierrez
De Lara, wife of the famous polit

a canvass to Insure iheir defense.
She has been notified that war
rants for the arrest of these vic
tims of Mexico persecution are
now In the hands of the U. S. dep

Prompt action on the part of citi
zens of this country who still be
llevo in liberty is the only thing
that will save them from another
and longer sentence fßr the same
crime—willingness to suffer for
their people's emancipation.
"I am going to speak before
tbe labor organizations, and I
shall appeal also to club women
and prominent people to whom I
have beea referred by Los Los An
geles friends," said Mrs. De Lara
today. "It will be a difficult
work, but there is no one else to
do it. What, these men need le a

especially in caring for the fund,

a local committee can be organ

canvass to other cities.
"This is the first experience I
have had in public speaking. If
the object were noi so important,
I should remain at home in Los
Angeles. But no one has offered
to do this work, and it needs doing

Building Trades council and the
Labor council, and I shall keep on
speaking until the men down

Five Mexican liberals are im

"We can appeal to Russia In
this hour of stress. Moreover, we
may expect that help will be forth
coming. But we will have to
make an unpleasant sacrifice.
jßussia is.eager to take over our
I new Issue of railway bonds.
I Hitherto, we have voted against
| disposing of the bonds in that
jcountry, the reason being obvious.
St. Petersburg wants a new con
necting lino with her possessions
in Afghanistan. Our line will pro
vide a most direct route —a cut
off, I believe they call it. Last
year the Grand Duke Paulus vol
unteered to provide the money for
the construction of the line from
Edelweiss north to Balak on con
dition that Russia be given the
right to use the line in connec
tion with her own roads to the
Orient. You may see the advant
age in this to Russia. Mr. King,
if I send word to the Grand Duke
Paulus, agreeing to his terms,
which still remain open to us,
signing away a most valuable
right in what we had hoped
would be our own Individual
property, we have every reason to
believe that he will send armed
forces to our relief, on the pre
text that Russia is defending
properties of hnr own. That is
one way in which we may oust
Count Marlanx. The other lies in
the ability of John Tullis to give
battle to him with our own people
carrying the gnus. I am confi
dent that Count Marlanx will not
bombard the castle except as a
last resort. He will attempt to
starve us Into submission first;
but he will not destroy property if
he can help it. I have been as
brief as possible. Lieutenant
Haddan has told us quite lately of
a remark you made which he hap
pened to overhear. If I quote him
correctly, you said to the English
man Hobbs that you could succeed
in reaching John Tullis. The re
mark interested me, coming as It
did from one so resourceful. May
I not implore you to tell us how
you would go about it?"
Truxton had turned a brick red.
' Shame and mortification surged
within him. Ho was cruelly con
', scious of an undercurrent of irony
,in the premier's courteous re
> quest. For an instant he was
sorely crushed. A low laugh from
I the opposite side of the room sent
- a shaft to his soul. He looked up.
' Vos Engo was still smiling. In an
' instant the American's blood boll
. Ed; his manner changed like a
\ flash; blind, unreasoning bravado
, succeeded embarrassment.
; He faced Count Halfont coolly,
almost impudently. "I think I
> was unfortunate enough to add
that your men were going about it
—well, like amateurs," he said,
with a frank smile. "I meant no
offense." Then he arose sudden
ly, adjusted his necktie with the
> utmost sang frold, and , an
nounced:
"I did say I could get to John
Tullis. If you like, I'll start to
night."
His words created a profound
impression, they came so abruptly.
The men stared at him, then at
each other. It was as If he had
read their thoughts and had
Jumped at once to the conclusion
that they were baiting him. Ev
eryone began talking at once.
Soon someone began to shake his
hand. Then there -were cheers
and a dozen handshakings. Trux
'ton grimly realised that he had
THE TACOMA TIMES
done just what they had expected
him to do. He tried to look un
concerned.
"You will require a guide," said
Colonel Quinnox, who had been
studying the degage American in
the most earnest manner.
"Send for Mr. Holsbs, please."
said Truxton.
A messenger was sent post
haste to the barracks. The news
already was spreading throughout
the castle. The chamber door was
wide open and men were comirfg
and going. Eager women were
peering through the doorway for
a glimpse of the American.
'There 3hould be three of us,"
said King, addressing the men,
about him. "One of us is sure to
get away."
"There is not a man here—or
in the service—who will not glad
ly accompany you, Mr. King,"
cried General Braze quickly.
"Count Vos Engo is the man
I would choose, if I may be per
mitted the honor of naming my
companion," said Truxton, grin
ning inwardly with a malicious
joy.
Vos Engo turned a yellowish
green. His eyes bulged.
"I —I am in command of the
person of his Royal Highness," he
stammered, suddenly going very
red.
"I had forgotten your present
occupation," said Truxton quietly.
"Pray pardon the embarrassment
I may have caused you. After all,
I think Hobbs will do. He knows
the country like a book. Besides,
his busines in the city must be
very dull just now. He'll be glad
to have the chance to personally
conduct me for a few days. As
an American tourist, I must in
sist, gentlemen, on being person
ally conducted by a man from
Cook's."
They did not know whether to
laugh or to treat it as a serious
announcement. •
Mr. Hobbs came. That is Jto
say, he was produced. It is
doubtful if Mr. Hobbs ever fully
recovered from the malady com
monly known as stage fright. He
had never been called Mr. Hobbs
by a prime minister before, nor
had he ever been asked in person
by a minister of war if he had a
family at home. Moreover, no as
semblage of noblemen had ever
condescended to unite in three
cheers for him. Afterward Trux
ton King was obliged to tell him
that he had unwaveringly volun
teered to accompany him on the
perilous trip to the hills. Be sure
of it, Mr. Hobbs was not in a men*
tal condition for many hours to
even remotely comprehend what
had taken place. He only knew
that he had been invited, as an
English gentleman, to participate
in a council of war.
But Mr. Hobbs was not the
kind to falter, once he had given
his word; however hazy he may
have been at the moment, he knew
that he had volunteered to do
something. Nor did it seem to
surprise him when he finally
found out what it was.
"We'll be off at midnight,
Hobbs," said Truxton, feeling in
his pocket for the missing watch.
"As you say, Mr. King, Just as
you say," said Hobbs with fine in
difference.
As Truxton was leaving the cas
tle ten minutes later, Hobbs hav
ing gone before to see to the
packing of food-bags and the fill
ing of flasks, a brisk, eager-faced
young attendant hurried up to
him.
"I bear a message from his
royal highness," said the attend
ant, detaining him. «
"lie should be sound asleep at
tins time," said Truxton, sur
prlsed.
"His royal highness insists on
staying awake as long as possible,
sir. It is far past his bedtime,
but these are troublesome times,
hu says. Every man should do
his iiart. Prince Robin has asked
tor you, sir."
'How's that?"
"He desires you to appear be
fore him at once, sir."
"In—in the audience cham
ber."
"In his bedchamber, sir. He Is
tery sleepy, but says that you are
to come to him before starting
4way on your mission of danger."
"Plucky little beggar!" cried
Truxton, his heart swelling with
love for the royal youngster.
"Sir!" exclaimed the attendant,
his eyes wide with amazement
and reproof. •
"I'll see him," said the other
promptly, as if he were granting
the audience.
He followed the perplexed at
tendant up the grand staircase,
across thickly carpeted halls in
which posed statuesque soldiers
of the Royal Guard, to the door of
the prince's bedchamber. Here he
was confronted by Count Vos
Engo.
"Enter," said Vos Engo, with
very poor grace, standing aside.
The sentinels grounded their
arms and Truxton King passed in
to the royal chamber, alone.
CHAPTER XX
is.v the \\ n(. i -t.;.(c
It was a vast, lofty apartment,
regal in its subdued lights. An
enormous golden bed, with gor
geous hangings, stood far down
the room. So huge was this royal
couch that Truxton at first over
looked the figure sitting bolt up
right in the middle of it. The tiny
occupant called out in a very
sleepy voice:
"Here I am, Mr. King. Gee, I
hate a bed as big as this. They
just make me sleep in it."
An old woman advanced from
the head of the couch and mo
tioned Truxton to approach.
"I am deeply honored, your
highness," said the visitor, bow
ing very low. Through the win
dows he could see motionless sol
diers standing guard In the bal
cony.
"Come over here, Mr. King.
Nurse won't let me get up. Kx
cuse my nighty, will you, pleaso''
I'm to have pajamas next winter."
Truxton advanced, to the side of
tire bed. His eyes had swept the
room in search of the one person
he wanted most to see of all in
the world. An old male servitor
was drawing the curtains at the
lower end of the room. There
was no one else there, except the
nurse. They seemed as much a
part of the furnlhsings of tlii;
fcoom as if they had been fixtures
from the beginning.
'-'I am sure you will like them.'
said Truxton, wondering whether
she were divinely secreted in ono
of the great, heavily draoed win
dow recesses. She had been in
tills room but recently. A subtle,
delicate, enchanting perfume that
he had noticed earlier In the
evening—ah, he would never for
get it.
The prince's legs were now
hanging over the edge of the bed.
His eyes wore dancing wkh ex
citement; sleep was momentarily
routed.
"Say, Mr. King, I wish I was
going with you to find Uncle Jack.
Tou will find him, won't you?
I'm going to say it In my pray
on tonight and every lnght. They
won't hardly let me leave this
room. It's rotten luck. I wan",
to fight, too."
"We fire all fighting tot you.
Prince Robin."
"I want you to find Uncle
Jack, Mr. King," went on fiobby
eagerly. "And tell him I didn't
mean it w.hen I banished him the
other day. I really and truly
didn't." He was having difficulty
in keeping back the tears.
"I shall deliver the message
your highness," said Truzton. his
heart going out to the unhappy
youngster. "Rest assured of that,
please. Go to sleep and droaru
that I have found him and am
bringing him bark to you. Tlie
dream will come true."
"Are you sure?" brightening
perceptibly.
"Positively."
"Americans always do what
they say they will," said the boy,
his eyes snapping. "Here's some
thing for you to take wit'a you,
Mr. King. H'b my lucky stone. It
always gives good luck. Of tourse.
you must promise to bring H back
to me. It's an omen."
He unclasped his small fingers
in the damp palm lay one of tlioso
peculiarly milky, half-transpar
ent pebbles, common the worM
over and of value only to small,
impressionable boys. Truxtou ac
cepted it with profound gravity.
•1 found it last 4th of July,
when we were celebrating out
there in the park. I'm always go
ing to have a 4th of July here.
Don't you lose it, Mr. King, and
you'll have good luck. Haron
Dangloss say it's the luckiest kind
of a stcne. Ahd when you come
back, Mr. King, I'm going to
! knight you. I'd do it now, only
Aunt Loralne says you'd be wor
rying about your title all the time
and might be 'stracted from youi
minion. I'm going to make o
baron of you. That's higher than
a count in Graustark. Vos Engo
is only a count."
Truxton started. He looked
narrowly into the frank, engaging
eyes of the boy in the nighty.
"I shall bo overwhelmed," he
said. Then his hand went to his
mouth in the vain effort to cover
the smile that played there.
"My mother used, to say that
American girls liked titles," said
ithe prince with ingenuous candor.
"Yes?" He hoped that she
was eavesdropipng.
"Nurse said that I was not to
keep you long, Mr. King," said the
prince ruefully. "I suppose you
are very busy getting ready. 1
just wanted to give you my lucky
stone and tell you about being I
baron. I won't have any luck till
you come back. Tell Mr. Hobbs
I'm thinking of making him a
count. You're awful brave, Mr.
King."
"Thank you. Prince Robin. May
I —" he glanced uneasily at the
distant nurse—"may I ask how
your Aunt Loraine is feeling?"
"She acted very funny when I
sent for you. I'm worried about
her."
"What did she do, your high
ness?"
"She rushed off to her room. I
think, Mr. King, she was getting
ready to cry or something. You
see, she's in trouble."
"In trouble?"
"Yes. I can't tell you about
it."
