No attention was paid to sip and I stood watching and lis tening. "When it was signed, madam reach ed for it with one hand, and with the otner hand rang a- bell f or - a mes senger. She knew that-at that mo ment the Chamber of Deputies was In session, and .that there was a terrible turmoil demanded her husband's re signation. 'Diaz thrust the paper in his pocket and refused to hand if over to his wife, and brushed her one . side The original drawn up by the lawyer lay on the floor, and it was afterward burned up and never used. 'There were tears on the bent face of majlame, as she 'begged Diaz to give - her - the - resignation, or at least send it at once, so as to avert mass acres and riots. She argued for more than twenty minutes, and then Diaz tore the crumpled paper- from his pocket, thrust it into her hand, say- ing: ' . ' - mere! Do with, it what you please,' and threw himself on a couch, sobbing as if his heart would break. "Madame rang the bell and called the military messenger, and with him Bent the resignation to the Chamber of Deputies. That nieht the- mobs rioted here, and I understood more than 60 were killed. That night madame started to argue to flee the city. 'At first Diaz was unmoved, and de- clared that he was going to his native state of Oaxaca, then about midnight, suddenly drawing his wife and son Into his arms, the old mansaid: , ' " 'For your sakesjmd for your hap- Piness I will eo: hut find bears -writ- cess that I do not wish. togo. -Mexico cept the driver of the presidential au has .been in my charge and care f of tomobile and one guard, who eat with 3 years, and now she does not want the chauffeur." . - - - .
