"Who shot you, Pedro?' inquired on,

"Who shot you, Pedro?'' inquired on,
of the gamblers.
IL did," All eyes we're turned to the
door, in which stood Jack Martin, {
smoking pistol in his hand, "That

shot him in self-defense.

money from--from ME. Twenty

With gurgling groan, the Mexican
sank back on the floor, the blood gushed
from his nose and mouth, and in anoth-
er instant he was dead, The partner
ship was dissolved.
On the trial for murder Jack Martin
told the whole story, and he told 1t
truthfully, Notwithstanding the advice
of his lawyers, who expected heavy
fee IN the advent of his acquittal. He
confessed the robbery, detailed the
double play of himself and Pedro, and
testified that when the latter on that
fatal night accused him of removing
the treasure from the place where he
(Pedro) had hidden it, he admitted the
fact, When he refused to divide, the
Mexican had attacked him with the
knife, and in self-defense he had killed
his partner. This version of the atTail
could not be disputed, and verde. Of
not guilty was rendered.
But Martin had not revealed the hid

pleaded guilty and was sentenced to ter
years in the State prison. He carried

THE STORY OF A STAGE ROBBERY IN
CALIFORNIA.

Jack Martin and Pedro Valencia
stood beneath a fragrant buckeye by
the roadside awaiting the arrival OF the
stage, then due at the village OF Campo
Seco. 1t was the twilight of warm
summers day, and the cool breeze that
had sprung up seemed to have freshened
the perfumes of withering wild flowers
and dropping grasses, The air was
scented with the fragrance of the bal
samic pine and the odor of the buckeye
blossom. The two men stood silent
and watchful under the shadow of the
oveFhanging foliage, occasionally glanc-
ing impatiently down the road, which,
from their position, slOpad pFeeipitogsly
for q considerable distance, making an
abrupt turn at the foot Of the hill and
then descending a deep canyon, into
the bottom of which the sun never
penetrated. 1t was out of this canyon
that the stage must emefgs before be-
ginning the last ascent, at the summit
of which stood the two men who await
ed its coming. 1t was a long, weary
climb for the horses, and a slow, tedi-
Gus interval for the passengers. The
soft winds of evening rustled the SOM
Der pines, and far away In the gray
chaparral the mountain quail called TO
his mate. Out of the canyon arose the
murmurs of turbulent waters, and a
great yellow jack-rabbit hopped lazily
down the dusty road. The brown hills
arose on either side, their bases grown
thick with greasewood and taF-gFass,
while to the eastward, through the twi-
light haze, the loftier peaks of the Sierra
rearsd their dark, bastion-like slopes
against darker sky,
1t was a scene that would have inn
pressed any observer, whether artist or
layman, but for Jack Martin or Pedro
Valencia it had no such charm. They
were simply and solely waiting for the
coming stage. IT was matter of basi-
ness with them, and they were not pre-
pared to sacrifice business for sentiment.
Theirs was 4 mercenary partnership, a
partnership that admitted of no other
consideration than mutual loyalty in
the transaction of their affairs, courage
in the execution of their designs, and
an honest division of the profits of theiI
enterprise.
There she comes. Il was Martin

listened mtently. Up through the
murmuring canyon fioated the creakiRs
of wheels and the jingle of harness
Then the sharp crack OF whip wa
heard, followed by the hoarse voice o
the driver as he urged his horses TO re

ONLY A BABY.

ONLY A BABY.
"Only a babyW Softly and low,
Telling a requiem, measured and slow,
The sad, sweet tongue of the mellow-toned
bell
Voices our tears in its sorrowful knell,
And loving hands lay
Deep under the sod
The beautiful clay
Whose soul is with God,
While strangers TO grief whisper under their
breath.
ITS only baby'-gone TO its death"
"Only habyl" All! do you not know
That little feet walk where no others can gop
That soft little fingers
Laid on the chords
Make music that fingers
SWeeter than words?
That the touch of baby has magic that
brings
Harmonics rich from dlspordant heart
strings?
That in her little voice all the melodies
sweet
Which are sung in the home in unison meet9
"Only baby!''-So little Il life,
That no one can tell how amid the world
strife
The whrr of the loom-where our lives take
their form.
This little gold thread should have weayet
in its charm?
Yet into those nooks
Where secrets are kept,
BY laugh and by looks
She wordlessly crept,
And smiled away fnrrows from faces grow
old,
Made warm nesting places in natures grow
cold.
"Only baby?" And yet from the skies
The great God looked down and smiled II
her eyes.
Till we saw them shine
From glory just given
The light all divine
The radiance of heaven!
"Only baby!" Yet so needed above,
That an angel came down with a message c
love.
And lifted the bahe-at the word of til
lord
From the mothers warm breast to the bosoI
of God.

THE MOTHER KNEW.

Fond mother-"Now look here,
George, l want you to break off with
that girl. She is very pretty, and all
that, but l know her too well to want
you to risk your life and happiness by
marrying her. Why she knows no more
about housekee. ing than l do about
Greek; not Bit"
George-"Perhaps not, but she can
learn"
"After marriage is rather late for that,
George"
"But you said yourself that you did
not know thing about housekeeping
until after you were married."
"Very true, George, and your poor
father died of dyspepsia twenty years
ago."
