There he sat down at his disordered desk and wrote “Marquesa Carlota de Lulz y Cabrera Michel Street w Orleans Dear Marquesa: “Will you kindly call at my office tomorrow—Thursday—night__at__nine o'clock?

In touch pres- ently with an agreeable female voice— not Senorita Flores would see him that evening from 8 till 9 o'clock. She would be in the patio. It was on an errand for Nelly that | Kirk was calling, or he allowed him- | self to call it that. Mrs. Belaise told him that Senorita Flores looked like Delphine, his mother, and when Kirk confessed to the feeling of having seen the senorita before, she added. “That is it.” Kirk could not see Juanita's resemblance to his mother’s pictures, yet he would not disabuse Nelly’s mind of a thing that seemed to fill it with such comfcrt. She was prattling about the senorita’s refusal to choose some- thing from the casket, had in the end chosen something herself, a ring that had been Delphine’s, bidding Kirk give it to Senorita Flores.

I thought you had forgotten.” She smiled, all in white, diaphanous stuff that fell away from her arms and about her feet. Kirk saw her parted hair, drawn over her ears, knotted on her_neck. “I never forget,” she answered. Kirk sat down on the bench beside her. He looked at her, white and lovely, wondered about her. Why was she here? Who was with her? What eyes were watching from the upper win- dows, even now? She had called alone yesterday—yet one unsed-rlmcul-rly here—that she was invisibly guarded. He would meet her protectors, no doubt, before the evening was over. “Do you like New Orleans, senorita?"” Very much. A little warm, but she accustomed to that.

Odd he should think of this now. ‘The music had stopped. The couple who had danced went out. Then almost at once the music began again. “Over the Waves.” The senorita’s eyes met Kirk's. They rose, and began to dance. She was fragrant and soft in his arms, moving lightly, at one with the music, at one with him. . . . ‘You dance beautifully, senorita ... and you speak English with such little accent—you just sort of kiss | the words, I mean.” “I had an American tutor.” “And he taught you to kiss the words!” She laughed. He had never heard her laugh before. A ripple of bright sound. “If you could have known him! didn’t know the meaning of kisses.” ‘The music had stopped. They went back to the bench. “Senorita, I have something for you.” Kirk seemed to know her better now that they had danced together. “And you must take it, or else—" “Or else what?” softly. “Or else some one will be very sad.

Guillermo Mascarenss, rancher, who appealed for protection yesterday, at- tributed the outbreak to the employ- ment of Chinese as workers. Observers sald they believed it was an outgrowth of the Mexican labor law which re- quires all employers to use at least 80 per cent Mexican labor. Mascarenas reported that his loss in an attack Sunday amounted to 12.000 es08 (approximately $5.006). The losses included money, supplies and ranch products. Chinese employes fled at_the approach of the armed mob. Yao Hslang Peng.
