fore long interrupted Mabel, as the blush
grew deeper on her healthy cheeks.
And l shall be happier than ever, then
and the speaker turned away, and, look
ing from the house out over the beautiful
stretch of country in sight, recalled the
days OF her young maidenhood when she
was wooed and won by one who had given
his life for the flag Of our common coun-
try.
The day passed almost uneventfully for
the two women in the Brazos home. Now
and then Mabel saw a horseman passing
along the road which, running near the
house, led to the little tow a few miles
away. Every once in awhile some Of the
riders would tip their hats to the flag, but,
for the most part, the men passed without
demonstration.
"Mexicans, some of Jacks 'greasers,' " the
girl would murmur when she saw the lat
ter.
Towards evening the young girl was
startled by a series Of wild shouts that drew
/ utT instantly 10 tlt NlIuoW anu NnthNt
to the door, in which she stood looking
and listening.
A party of horsemen had turned from
the road and were coming toward the
house.
They rode the sturdy Mexican pony, and
it did not take Mabel long to identify them
1--WE are going to have some callers" sht
said, ea.mly, turning back into the house
'"The jewellers are coming back from Gulcl
CITY and have turned from the road"
"MeAicans, child?'
Some of Jacks 'greasers,' " smiled Mabe
Brewster. Don't you hear their outland
ish cries!"
"They may have designs against tn
flag"
Instantly the face of the young girl red
dened. She knew what the half-drunke
greaser is capable of doing when he ha
spent a mad day in a frontier town, and be-
fore going again to the door she locke
4 toward a corner Of the room where she sa,
something that seemed to please her.
Then she opened the door.
By this time the hilarious horde ha
drawn rein in front OF the house, and th
foremost was throwing jibes at the bannt
!, that hoated zrandly in the winds.
Mabel faced the band with a smile o
S her face.
IN an instant arose the demand, accom-
PANIED by harsh words, for the lowering

"Do you think for a moment that a Brew

day on the range; but, if | can, why, III
come down toward evening. You'll nave
TO celebrate alone unless you can induce
some Of the greasers to assist you"
A few moments later Jack was riding
toward the west, watched by the young
girl. who stood in the doorway of the home
near the river, and who now and then re-
nlied to the wave Of his hand with a similar
use of the flag.
".Jack's patriotic, of course" she said,
half aloud to herself; "but he doesn't take
10 anniversaries like some other people. He
thinks them a little stale. But let some
one insult this flag in his presence, and
there will have to be an instant apology Or
or a fightl"
Early the following morning Mabel, who
was alone, with the exception of her wid
owed mother, who, being an invalid, was
seated IN an armchair at the window, car
RED the flag outdoors and hoisted it at
the lin of the slender pole which had been
