ing from the house out over the beautiful
stretch Of country IN sight, recalled the
days Of her young msidonhood when she
was wooed and won by one who had gver
his life for the flag OF our common coun
try.
The day passed almost uneventfuly foi
the two women in the Brazos home. Now
and then Mabel saw q horseman passing
along the road which, running near tn,
house, led to the little town few mile
away. Every once in awhile some Of Ia,
riders would zip their hats TO the flag, but
for the most part, the men passed without
demonstration.
"Mexicans. some OF Jacks 'grensers,' tn,

Towards evening the young girl was
startled by a series Of wild shouts that drew
her instantly to the window and theme,

greaser is capable OF doing when he has
spent a mad day in frontier town, and be
fore going again to the door she looked
toward a corner of the room where she saw
something that seemed TO please her.
Then she opened the door.
BY this time the hilarious horde had
drawn rein in front Of the house, and the
foremost was throwing jibes at the banner
that hoated grandly in the winds.
Mabel faced the band with a smile on
her face.
In an instant arose the demand, accom-.
panied by harsh words, for the lowering of
the flag.
