The fund being raised in Texas for a Pythian home is nearing the $1OO.OOo mark, and work oD the institution will shortly begin. When it is considered that only so short time back as 1898 the small sum of $20O0 was set aside as nucleus for the establishment Ot this home. the rapidity with which this fund has grown stands out as mat ter to be commended by all institutions of kindred nature and is record that the rank and file" of Texas can justly point to with feelings of pride.
 The uniform rank is reported to be growing rapidly in many jurisdictions.

CHAPTER II.
From .'Graphic.n

John Ogden turned his head; the
muzzle of a Winchester carbine was
within an inch of his neck, and the
Sheriff's cruel eyes were behind it.
Ogden felt numb and nerveless. In a
flash he saw the significance of the
words; he was as a bird within strik-
ing distance of a r~attlesnake.
Walk out of this said the Sheriff.
Ogden turned to the door, meeting
the eager faces of a crowd of people
who had heard the shot. The sheriff
beckoned to two men.
Take him to the casa, boys, and stay
by him."
The promptness of action and lack
of official ceremony in Western trials
by jury is one of the features of from
tier life. At eight o'clock in the morn
ing John Ogden had been a free man
by noon he was on trial for his life.
The courthouse was the largest room
in the hotel, a convenient spot, for the
judge was the hotel proprietor. Johns
trial lasted exactly two hours. Sheriff
Lassiter, our worthy officer of law"
as Judge Sanderbach explained to the
eastern visitors assembled to enjoy the
ceremony, gave his evidence with a
dignity and self-restraint that was
much admired. He stated briefly, how
when passing the ~post-ofice, he had
heard the sounds of a struggle inside
followed by a revolver shot, and enter
ing had discovered the deceased in a
dying condition. the prisoner standing
over him, pistol in hand.
Long before this Ogden had re-
covered himself.
1T is a lie" he blurted out, in re-
spouse to a bland and courteous ques-
ton from the judge, "a foul lie from
beginning to end"
"Do you say so, now" echoed the
Sheriff's attorney, the only lawyer in
town. THAT, l reckon, will be most
interesting news to the jury. Please tell
us why?"
The cowboy gave his account of the
incident, and then the lawyer passed
a very pleasant and profitable half

hour in croSs-examination, during
which Ogden's previous assault upon
the Sheriff was introduced into the
case in a manner which completely
ruined any chance of acQuittal he
might otherwise have had. Ultimately
a verdict of Guilty of murder" was
given by the jury and sentence of death
by hanging solemnly passed by the
judge, the execution to take place at
sunrise the next morning. The prisoner
was then marched back to his cell-an
empty shanty-the court adjourned for
lunch, and those who had witnessed
the trial went quietly home. Only one
person felt at all uneasy. This was a
Mr.. Edward C%lincher. the store-keeper
and oldest resident in the town. The
most stability dressed and insignificant
of men in appearance, Ed" Clincher
was the richest man in the country;
and his dollars had been accumulated
by twenty years hard work, endurance
of much hardship, and constant danger
TO life and limb.
"A queer bit there" he muttered to
himself as he stepped out of the hotel
blinking in the bright sunlight. Burt

wonder-well, we'll" shaking himself,
what does it matter to me? Hello, Jose
Gallegos-"
A hand had been laid on his arm;
and a brown face, now a sickly yellow
with anxiety, was eagerly peering into
his.
ooh, Senior Edwardo, mi want to
speak you bad. All, caramba! very, very
bad"
The boy was mad with excitement,
and Ed. a kindly nan with Mexicans
and especially with this one, soothed
him like a child.
"There-there, little fool" he said
in Spanish. whats to do? Wait, now;
don't try firing off like a pistol at half
cock. Come into the store and talk"
Jose yielded with a ordnance, follow
ing Mr.. Clincher to a capacious log
and adobe building, and once inside, he
poured forth in the most voluble OF
Spanish, a story that moved both Mr..
Clineher and his wife, who listened
with her husband, to EXPLANATIONS Of
horror and Indignation. 1t appeared

lad OF thirteen, had been cook, house

quietly. wei share the expense, meb-
be. I'll have a letter to write, which
you must take to Jonathan Hame,
who's Ogden's boss, and told me ono
Ogden would beat the band for honesty
and grit. Vamos, now"
1t was ten miles to Hame's ranch,
but the Mexicans caught the cattleman
just as he was off for d holiday in the
Eastern States. By shutdown he was in
Clincher's store.
That evening the Clincher family
.supped late. They entertained a dozen
guests, and it was a pleasant, sociable
supper, for all the men were neighbors
and friends. At the head of the table
sat Clincher, the host, quiet and serene;
on his right, Jonathan Hame, the larg-
est owner of cattle in the country, a
trifie absent in manner, but as undis-
turbed as his friend; opposite was a
sheep king; and on his right Dan
Bacon, most successful breeder of
horses in New Mexico, and so the list
rose quietly from his chair, and locked
the door. Friends" he said, returning
to the table, 1--WE must talk business
now"
All this time Ogden was locked in
the Casa awaiting his fate. With his
coat rolled up for a pillow, he lay on
his back gazing up through the graf
ing at the sky. Hope was all gone
nothing left but dreary, bitter des-
pair. Thus thrown back upon his
thoughts, his mind flew away from his
present surroundings. over land and
sea, five thousand miles, back to the
smoky Lancashire town where he was
born, and where all he loved in the
world were now living. His father,
his brothers, his mother-here he
choked, and hot tears streamed down
his cheeks unchecked. She had been
a very foolish mother. John had been
her frst-born, and she had petted him,
spoilt him, cuddled him. He had re-
paid her as a willful young daredevil
will, by trampling upon her with care
less scorn, and utterly defying any
later attempts at control, yet he had
loved her passionately, and for her
sake had resisted many a grim tempta-
ton.

Lassiter fire the fatal shot, and with

knowing the contempt with which the
evidence of a Mexican would betreated,
and the danger to his brother if they
had moved in the matter. had been in
despair, until a thought came upon
him to seek the help OF Mr.. Clincher,
who happened to be the banker of the
remaining portion of his legacy,
Clincher paced up and down theroom,
his face growing darker every moment,
and little Maxine when he was brought
in, was horribly scared. But when Mr..
Clincher questioned with gentle firm
ness he concealed nothing. AT the end
the storekeeper fell into deep thought,
the Mexicans eagerly watchingh his face.

the city, which is one of the interest
ing historical relics of particular in
terest to all tourist. The bear is the
heraldic animal on the coat Of arms of
Berne which has derived its name from
Master Bruin and from time immemorial
the CITY has maintained pit in which
a family of bears was kept. Grave fears
had been entertained for some time.
that the municipal bear family would
ultimately die out, as the female had
been addicted to the horrible and unnat-
ural habit of eating her offspring when
born. This time, however, change has
come over the depraved she bear, and
two little cubs enjoy the full measure
of her maternal affections. They are
thriving splendidly and within fort
night will make their first bow to an
adrniring public. The only danger they
will run after that will be that of
death by overfeeding.
