If James Graham gets out of his
troubles II will be on a well support
ed plea of lunacy,
Graham admits that he killed
Claude Bass on the night of August
II, but says 1t was done in self-de-
Tense. This is the substance of his
confession, yet he mixes details and
has told over half a dozen different
tales about IT, His first confession
was made on the day after his first
presentation in police court to
Charles Smell. a fellow prisoner. who
sat next to him on the prisoners
bench In the police court room.
Graham confessed to Charles
Smell on the morning he was brought
down from the big Jail TO the city
hail." F. NJ. Matlock, the policeman
who arrested Graham, stated today.
''Snell was charged with assaulting
William Rawson and the two sat to-
gether. Smell told me that Graham
appeared nervous and a conversation
was started. II was not long before
Graham began TO confess and asked
Smells opinion of what he should
do"
Has no Lawyer.
From Indications the prisoner is
weakening and this is the reason he
made his confession after leaving the
city hail. This morning when seen
he was nervous but more from cigar
cite smoking than anything else.
mo, I have not employed an at
'torney yet" he stated.
II had been reported that he had,
but Graham denies this He says he
has few dollars coming to him from

Graham is the star prisoner in the
Jail today and he has so many Wis

Graham does not seem to mind the
visitors. In fact. he seems indiffer-
ent to their calls.
Graham planned an escape this
morning He asked Charles Smell
IL he thought It would be of any use
to attempt to jump out of the win,

with heavy wire and Smell replied in
the negative. Graham hung his head

For weeks the image of it had been
craven on her heart. Sleeping or wax

the actual contamination before her
she felt its hideous novelty as though

Far down the trail she could hear
the gallop Of horse coming closer,
and mingled with the sounds Of it's
flying feet was voice urging the
horse to greater speed in the shrill
cabalistic "Hi-hi-hi-ki!'' Of the plains
man. What was it? One of them re-
turning to see that she did not cheat

Then Judith called out, make papa

heard the showing of shoulders against
the door. Once; twice, thrice the lock
resisted them. The brown bureau
spun across the room like child's toy.
The lynchers, bursting In, saw Aida
with her arms around Jim. When the
last hope had gone it was instinct with
her to protect him with her own body.

The hoofs rang hollow on the little
plank bridge that crossed the ditch
about stones throw from the door.
Not word was said either within or
without. The lynchers seemed to have
drilled for their part. There was no
whispering, no deferring to a leader.
On they came, so close that Jim and
Aida could hear the creaking Of their
saddles. There was the clank of spurs
and the straining Of leather as they
dismounted. Then some one knocked
at the door till the warped boards rat
tied.
Jim could feel the thudding Of Ali
da's heart as she chung to him, but
when the knock was repeated a new
courage came to her, and she left Jim
and went on her knees close to the
outer wall
"Jim, is that your she called. And
now every sense was trained to bat
tie. Her voice had even a sleepy ca
dence, as if she had been suddenly
reused
"That won't do at all, Miz Rodney.
We know you got Jim in there just as
certain as We're out here, and we want
him to come out, and We'll do the thing
square; otherwise he can take the con-
sequences"
Jim opened his mouth to speak, but
she, still on her knees beside the wall,
gained his silence by one supplicating
gesture. There was sleepy, fretful cry
from Tho =
reused one Of the children.
"Sh-sh, DEAR" she called. "It's only
bad dream. Go to sleep again. Moth
er is here"
Through the warped door came
sounds Of the whispering voices with
out, drowned by the shrieking bellow
Of the cattle. There was not breath
Of air in the suffocating ROOM Jim
bent toward Aida:
I'm goin' out to 'em. They'll do it
square over on the cottonwoods. This
rumpus III only wake the ~kids."
But she shook her head imploringly,
putting her finger to her lips as sign
that he was not to speak, and he had
not the heart to refuse, though know
Ing that she made desperate Situa-
ton worse.
"Gentlemen"-she spoke in a low,
distinct voice-"Jim amt here. He's
been away from home five days.
There's no one here but me and the
children. You've woke them up and
frightened them by pounding on the
door. ask you to go away
IF he amt in there, will you let us

that spoke-Henderson, foreman Of the

"Whas er matter, muvvy?" called
Judith sleepily. Young Jim was by
this time crying Justify. Only Topeka
said nothing: With the precocity of a
frontier child she half realized the
truth. She tried to comfort little Jim,

Something that had once beer, a man.
inert hands. II dreamed it all and
came. If could have dreamed it
sooner!'
Aida did not seem to hear, neither
could she speak. She only pointed
again to the thing beside her.
Judith understood. The women had
task to share, and in silence they be-
gan it. The lynchers had done their
work all too well. Again and again
the women stroye with all their
strength to take down the dangling
parody of man, which in it's dead
weight resistance seemed in league
with the forces against them. At last
the thing was done. Down to pale
world that in the haggard gray Of
morning seemed to bear in it's coun-
tenance something of the pinch of
death Judith lowered the thing that
had so lately been a man. She cut the
rope away from the neck, she straight
ened the wry neck that seemed to wag
in pantomimic representation of the
last word to the lynchers. They'd
have to reckon with him on dark
nights and when the wind walled like
famished wolf and when things not
to be explained lurked in the shadows
Of the desert.
The morning stiffness came flooding
into the cup shaped valley like soft,
resistless wave. Something had come
to the gray old another day,
with all it's human gift of joy and woe
and the earth welcomed it, though it
had known so many. The sun burst
through the gold tipped aureole Of
cloud, scattering far and wide lavish
promises of perfect day. The earth
seemed to respond with a thrill. No
longer was the pinch of death in her
countenance. The valley, the noun
talns, the invisible wind, even the dead
cottonwoods, seemed endowed with
throbbing life that contrasted fear
somely with the terrible nullity of this
thing that once had been Jim Rodney.
Aida had ceased to take any part in
the hideous drama. She sat on the
ground, a crouched thing, with glitter
ing eyes. 1t was past comprehension
that the sun would shine and the
world go on with her man dead before
her. judith had become the force that
planned and did to save the family
pride. While her hands were busy
with preparations for the dead she re-
hearsed what she would say to this
and that one to account for Jim's alb
sence. The silence Of the men who had
done this thing would be as steadfast
as their own.
And there We're the children. Through
all her frantic search for things in the
house Judith remembered that she
must step softly and not waken the
children. With each turn of the screw
as her numbed consciousness rallied
and responded afresh to the hideous,
realization of this thing, there came no
release from the tyrannous hold of pet
ty detail. She remembered that she
must be back at noon to hold post.
Office, and there would be the endless
comedy to be played once more with
her cavaliers. They must never sus-
pect from word or look of hers And
there was the dance tonight at the
Benton ranch. She hid her face in her
hands. All, no, she could not do this
thing. Aud yet they must not suspect.
She must contrive to give the impress
sion that Jim had cheated the rope.
Yes, she must go and dance and IL

Punch Discusses the Question of Furnishing Bedroom

r EFT US suppose, says London Punch,

LID with four walls, one floor, one
ceiling, one door, one window and one
fireplace. A word about each Of these.
!. /. X
Walls.-It is customary to have
pieces Of paper stuck on to the walls
Of room. This is done by means
of substance called paste. You first
buy enough paper for the purpose and
then call in a tradesman known as a
paperhanger and say to him, Chang
this paper.' You need only say it
once, unless you decide to stick the
paper on yourself, in which case you
will say it more frequently. ~
Floor.-This is the part Of the room
you will walk on. In order to save
wear of the wood-of which it is made
YOU must cover it with carpet.
Carpets may be bought either at Will
ton (near Salisbury, in Turkey, in
Brussels, or in Pile. Pile is not shown
on the maps. ... -.
Ceiling.-It is not necessary to car
pet the ceiling. The flies prefer 1t
whitewashed.
Door.-A structure Of wood made
to open either outward or inward.

to enter your room or to leave it more
