Three days passed before Jesus and
his comrades came to the bait, but dur

Just ut dark on the third day they
| came-not with rush, but crawling
and sneaking, until only the space of
the dooryard separated them from the
houseful of women and children. Then
they started up boldly. The Apache
yell of triumph was still in the air when
the soldiers fired. Each bullet found
an Indian, and all fell, and when the
soldiers came out to make sure of their
work there were six dead Indians in
the dooryard. So TIL. soldiers went
away, and the holy sister of Ste. Gene
| We've, who had come with the other
women. prayed until far into the night
for the dead. While she prayed she
heard a voice ont Of the moonless night
"a weak, dying voice-and it pleaded
and begged for water.
aqua! Agua!"
The voice was growing weaker.
"Agua! Agua!"
1t was almost a whisper-a hard,
rafting whisper from a palate blaz-
ing and dry from thirst. !.
| The good sister could not listen to
| it. The words of her prayer came back
to her-her plea for Divine mercy for,
the poor savages.
"Dios mi mandn," she murmured.
| good sends me-"
She filed canteen from the cool
ola and stepped out into the night.
She could not see, but the hoarse voice
of the dying Indian guided her. She
stumbled over something in the dark,
and it made her shudder. She reached
| the side Of the form from which the
faint cries for water came-a form with
a great bleeding, mortal wound in it,
through which the soldiers bullet had
gone-and stopped over to put the
canteen to his lips.
AS she did SO the right hand of the
dying man shot up. and the hosy Sister
of Ste. Genevieve fell backward with a
knife driven through her heart. For
Jesus was an Apache.--N. Y. Journal.

where their silhouettes can be seen
from miles and miles away. So Jesus
simply slipped behind rock and watt
trotting ahead came on down the trail
and passed the rock behind which the
Indian hid, and when he had passed
Jesus raised his Winchester across the
rock and shot him fair in the middle
CT the back. The man rolled off, of
course, and Jesus watched him struggle
and choke and die, and then Jesus cut
the body and crushed the textures with
rocks. Then he caught the dead pros
pector's horse. He did not need horse,

and let him die of hunger and thirst.
He could have killed the horse with less
trouble, but that would not have been
in accordance with what he had always
done, and the Apache is creature of
habit.
The murder of the prospcctor would
of course, be discovered, and men would
come to hunt him. Jesus, from his
long experience, knew this, SO he
MANNED and mangled the dead man
some more to show his derision and
contempt, and went away. What he
found in the pack was welcome. He
got drunk, and he ate until he could
eat no more, but he did not celebrate
his triumph this way until he WAS back
in the high mountains again.
So Jesus lived alone in the mountains.
He did not modest the ranches except
to steal horse OF COW for food, when
he did not want to waste ammunition
on deer. There was danger about the
ranches, and Jesus took no chance of
getting shot. He killed n man whenever
he could do so safely, not because he
cared about Dlundeying him but On

One day he went out to the road that
led to the north. He waited among
the rocks and brush of the great canyon
until he heard the sound of wheels, and
pretty soon carriage came along with
Mexican and lady and a baby in it,
And from his perch along the rocks
he shot the man, but he did not kill
him outright. The Mexican had life
enough to know that he was in an
Apache ambush and killed the woman
before o second shot from Jesus VIM
chester killed him. That man knew
what an Apache was, and Jesus, in
revenge, mutilated the dead bodies and
killed the baby.
At last regiment of Mexican cav
airy was sent to round him up. They
found his camp among the cliffs by
the Lake of the Virgin and waited for
him. but Coyote saw the too numerous
tracks and only approached near
enough, to see his danger, and then
went away again to still deeper fast

had SO long waited for.

championship of the world against
all corners. The winner of the Maher
Fitzsimmons fight, to be decided in

him.
Corbett was seen the other night at
New Brunswick, n. j., and he admitted
that he had made up his mind to fight
again. He said: "When turned over

Tho Magic of Old Rome.

The charm of Rome has never been
in it's architecture, nor in the beauty
of its streets, though the loneliness of
its old time gardens contributed much
which is now in great part lost. 1t
can certainly not be said, either, that
the all-subduing magic of old Rome lay
specially in it's historical associations,
since Rome has been loved to the verge
of folly by half-educated girls, by ex-
tremely flippant little women of the
world and by empty headed dandies

the men of genius who have ever spent

Nell is a dog. She has special delight

often as she would like. That is not be-
cause she is left behind, but from the in
ability of the members of the family to
keep walking constantly. which would be
Nells idea of perfect happiness. One day
the weather, the atmospheric conditions

seemed to Nell to Indicate that a walk
would be an unusual pleasure. She went
to one OF her numerous mistresses and said
so as plainly ss dog could say anything
Her actions spoke louder than words could
1t was of no avail, but Nell was not TO be
discouraged. She stopped. evidently to
think moment. Then she bounded up
stairs, to be gone only a few moments
when she was heard again coming quietly
and evidently with great care. Straight
down and into the room she came and
laid her mistress hat which she had found
on the bed in an upper room on her lap.
There was bird in the trimmings of the
hat but it had beer carried so carefully
that she had not touched il once. This is
an entirely up-to-date story, and il stops

As TO Personal Property.
Does a will of personally have to be
likewise witnessed?"
by the law of Maryland, and conse-
quently of the District Of Columbia, a will
of personal property need not be attested
by subscribing witnesses, but might be es-
tablished when offered for probate by suit
able proof Not even the signature. mark
or seal of the testator is essential in a
will of personality, nor need il be written,
in such case. by himself What is es-
sential, however, is proof that the decedent
intended the paper-writing pronounced as
his will to operate after his death as a
disposition of his effects"
lis il safe for one not verSed in law
to draw his own will?'
I'm answer to that question 1 would
say that there is no branch of law which
better illustrates that no man should
| act as his own lawyer. II is particu-
larly true in the District of Columbia.
where our laws differ so materially from
those of nearly every state i'll the Union,
| that one not thoroughly conversant there
with should not undertake to make will
| involving title to property. The services
of an attorney should always be sought
in the preparation of a will. If this rule
were strictly observed there would be less
dlSappOln- meats, dnNOydHCeS anu
of intentions than We now see only too
often.
"How soon after death should will be
iled?"
1T is customary to file such soon after
burial of the testator. But before doing so
| 1t is lawful for any private person to open
and read the will in the presence of any
near relatives, and Immediately thereafter
| 1t should be delivered at this Office
"Is there any penalty for failure to de-
| liver a will to the register?
Yes, sir. If any person in whose Gus.
| tody a will has been intrusted shall will.
| fully neglect to file the same, or to deliver
| 1t to some executor named therein. for the
| space of three calendar months after the
death Of the testator shall be known to
J him, he is liable to suffer tine imposed by
the court"
| Can wills be left here for safekeepire
| during the lifetime of the maker?'
THE laws of the District of Columbia dc
| not provide for the deposit or safekeepins
| of will during the lifetime of the maker
but as much advantage Is to be gained
| from having a safe depository for wills
avoiding much search and inquiry after tn,
| death of the maker, we recently adopted
| plan for receiving wills for safekeeping
Now any will can be left in this Office anc
the same will be placed in the vaults and
permanent index record made for read,
| reference, but not for public inspection

| cause of the prejudice that exists agains
