HALE 1 was la Mexico examining a mini foi New York capitalist when 1'ienl dent Modem was nmn-itliMtwl Mini lluorui took bis place. Fortunately Tor inc. I had completed my work when the revolution broke out and managed to get a train lot Vera Cruz, wlieio 1 Intended to cm bark for the L'nltwl States. It nit not n pleasant Journey by any menus No one knew whether the new gov eminent would permit tne tnilii to go through or Intercept it on the way Mr tho purpose of getting Its hands on an enemy or whether adherents of the old regime would take revenge on homo ono who bad been pioinliieiit In bringing about tho change. At a little station barely ten miles fiotu Vera Cruz tho train stopped and remained stationary so long that I concluded to wnlk tho rest of tbo way. Everybody went about armed, nnd I was no exception to the rule. But 1 lrnd my vouchers about me that I wax n United States citizen, and I relied for safety moro on being ablo to prove myself a foreigner than on my arma ment, though I confess it would have been better for mo to havo been al most nny other foreigner than a gringo. I nm a good walker and believed 1 would bo able to do tho distance In from two to two nnd u half hours. I stepped out briskly, enjoying the stretching of my legs far more than sitting in a trnin which for nil any one could find out might remain whore It was till nnother revolution had been accomplished. As I walked 1 reinem bcrcd that 1 was on the road Cortex and his ndventurers passed over when they wcro beginning their memorable march to tho capital of Montezuma. I looked ahead, fancying that I could see their head of column coming up tho declivity. I didn't see tho mailed Spaniard, bur I did sco the back of a man rather a boy ho secoied walking nhead of tne nnd in tho same direction 1 was going I soon caught up with him. and fro'n his dnrk complexion, his coal black eyes nnd long lashes 1 knew him to bo a Mexican. There was no one neir us, and I accosted him in Spanish, which I spoke Indifferently, bidding him good day and remarking that It was a fine morning. Ho seemed very shy. But the Mexl enn people have not that self reliance common among us of tho United Stntes. and I did not expect him to meet mo halfway. Besides, he was boyish looking and even for n boy del Icate In appearance. The only sign of ruggedness about him was a color In his checks. He looked at me askance nnd us though he hud no desire for m company until I told him that I was a citizen of the United States, when ho began to ask mo questions about how he should get from Vera Cruz to an American port, when and to wlin: point the steamer sailed, what was the fare and other Information desirable for one who Intended to make the journey. I told him what I knew on tho sub Ject nnd then began to talk about oth er things. 1 found him willing to eon verso except upon tho subject of the revolution. No sooner did 1 mention nnythlng. however remotely connected with tho revolution, than he shut up Ulco an oyster. Occasionally 1 would glance aside at him when 1 know bo was not aware ol It and saw on his face Indications that ho was under the Influence of some powerful emotion. I would have liked to gain his confidence that I might learn what moved him, but I did not believe this possible, so I did not tr. However, as we proceeded on our way together bo ceased to appear nnxious to get rid of me, and before wo roach ed Vera Cruz he seemed to coiisldct mo something of a protector. Finally I ventured to ask him about what be would do at Vera Cruz, ami he told mo ho was going to sail on the first vessel leaving for the United States. I replied that 1 was goiiu also and we would bo fellow pasMii gers together. When we were enter Ing tho city ho surprised me by hand Ing me his purse and asking me to lin his steamer ticket for htm Fortunately for us both a steuuu-i was to sail early the next morning and we were permitted to go aboard tit once. The young man retired to It . stateroom, and 1 saw htm no more thnt day. In the morning I was walking t'f deck while tbo ship was making mm:h ton knots an hour over the gulf. I saw coming up the eompanlonwny tin counterpart of tho boy who had been my fellow traveler the day heloiv But this person was n girl. The tit i thing that caught her eye on emergo.' from below was the stars and strips flying from the peak. A relieved c presslon came over her face, and I knew she was saying to bersell "Thank heaven!" "Aba. senorlta!" 1 said. "I suspect od yesterday that you were not nun cullne." "Oh, senor." she replied, "you weic very good to me. At first I wished to get rid of you, but at last I lelt thai you were my protector." During tho voyage 1 saw much ot tho girl nnd gained her promise on my own promlso of secrecy to tell why she left Mexico In dlsgulso. When coming Into port sho relloved my curiosity. "My brother," she said, "was one or thoso who were reported killed while trylug to escape. I stabbed to the heart the man who shot him." A Typhoon In Japan. My room on tho second floor rocked nnd swayed, and It scorned as though tho building could not hold together. After awbllo I grow accustomed to tho motion nnd tho nolso of breaking, glass nnd dropped off to sleep, but n terrific crnsh right by my enr brought mo up with a start. Tho sheet iron shutters of my windows had finally succumbed to tho fury of tho gale nnd, nlthough fully eight Inches outsido of tho glass, had bent In until tho win dows, sash and all, lay shattered on tho floor. A drenching torrent whirled In through tho crack between tbo re listing shutters, seized a screen and hurled it clear across tho room on to my bed and then seized tho bed and bounced it savagely up and down. Then part of tho roof took leavo and slid pnst my window with tho nervo racking clatter of coal pouring into an empty steel bin. By dawn tho typhoon was satisfied with whnt It had done nnd moved on out to sen. I retrieved my saturated clothes and went downstairs. Melvln A. Hall in Century. Unconscious Memory.
