morning. When the trouble began, he
had secreted himself where he could
see all that went on, and had been an
eye witness to the quarrel; had seen
Lassiter fire the fatal shot, and with
great difficulty had contrived to escape
detection and capture. Terrified he had
ridden off to his brother and told him
all. Jose wishing to save Ogden, but
knowing the contempt with which the
evidence of Mexican would betreated,
and the danger to his brother IL 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 thereon,
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 ST. .rekeeper fell into deep thought,

1t was ten miles to Hame's ranch,
but the Mexicans caught the cattleman
just as he was off for a 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 1t was a pleasant, sociable
supper, for all the men were neighbors
and friends. At the head OF the table
sat Clincher, the host, quietand serene;
on his right, Jonathan Hame, the larg-
est owner of cattle in the country, a
triffe absent in manner, but as undis-
turbed as his friend; opposite was a
slim, hard-featured man, Collett, the
sheep king; and on his right Dan
Bacon, most successful breeder of
horses in New Mexico, and so the list
went on. After the supper, Clincher
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 mis- 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

choked, and hot tears streamed down
his cheeks unchecked She had beer

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

STATUS OF THE RATE BILL.

The railroad rate bill is easily the
most important piece of legislation be-
fore the present congress. 1t is de-
signed to correct the abuses which can
not be reached by the Interstate
Commerce Commission under the law
as it now exists. The sticking point is
of course the rate making power. The
the house with an -whelming ma
jority gives the interstate commerce
commission authority when a rate is
complained Of as unreasonable" by a
shipper, to investigate that rate, state
whether or not it is unreasonable. to
reasonable and fairly remunerative
and which is to be the maximum rate
charged This rate is to go into effect
in 80 days after it is announced and is
to remain in effect for three years but
may be reviewed by the courts and set
aside If found in conflict with the act
or with the constitution.
The Hepburn bill is now up to the
senate committee for consideration
where there Is disposition to substi-
tute the Dolliver bill which Is Identical
to the Hepburn bill in that 1t provides
for rate to be fixed by the commits
sion upon complaint and after hearing,
but it differs in this that when it does
go into effect it shall stay in effect until
1t is adjudged on appeal to be con
fiscatory and unremunerative. The
weight of objection to the whole meas
ure bears on this point, and the same
objection applies to the Hepburn bill
even with its three year limitation
clause. The modification proposed is tc
limit the operation of such a rate tC
one year and to provide appeal from

the effect is extremely pleasing and in
variably becoming.
When speaking of Jet as being so
much in favor / neglected to mention
how charming it is when used with
black net. A black net dinner gown
was made over a foundation OF radia
silk. BY the way, this radia has no
equal for evening wear whether as a
foundation for chiffon or net. or made
up in its own soft, shimmering plable
self. The dinner gown mentioned was
in black radia. with black net over
dress. This was made with many
tucks in the skirt and shirrings in the
waist. The belt was fastened at the
back with a Jet star. and long black
radia sash-ends fell to the bottom OF
the skirt, having narrow lines OF jet
across the lower edoe to keep the silk
from falling into strings.
Another Of these radia foundations
was in mauve that pinkish shade al
ways so lovely. with chiffon over
dress OF the same color. The radfa
SKIRT or underslip fitted the figure per-
fectly and smoothly. The chiffon over
dress was made with a hip-yoke on
the skirt, which was shirred to fit the
figure. Two groups of shirrings cross
ed the skirt lower down. and the hem
was headed with three wide tucks.
These tucks are a favorite finish for
these thin Over-dresses. or in fact thin
silks or muslins. as they give sub
stantial touch where most needed and
keep the skirt from sagging about the
feet.
Shoppers are still calling for spring
and summer goods. Mohairs are hold
ing their own, of course, for the sum-
mer traveller must have them. For
the ever-smart shepherds plaids are
being made up.
Checks and stripes are equally pop
ular. Certain figures demand checks,

colors or stripes.

Of the ady-to-wear hat. Some Of
these have velvet crowns and lend
themselves to home trimming most
satisfactorily. 1t is well to take the
bargains in these when opportunity Of
fers for these hats are not as a rule
cheap or many. There are also sup
pie felt walking hats that are useful
and pretty and can be bent to fit any
face or head.

Latest News from The
Realm of Fashion
BY ESTELLt.

New York, Feb. 10--A letter just re-
in trimming and ornaments, is much in
vogue, and to be quite up to date one
must wear it on either couture or cor
sage for full dress, or even both, II
properly selected. There are slender
jet tiaras for the hair, and jet collars
neck dresses.
A set of these ornaments has just
been received by fashionable lady Of
New York. It conists Of tiara to be
worn well forward around the pompa-
dour two large jet pins. also for the
hair; collar made Of twelve rows Of
small Jet beads; jet pin or brooch in
the shape Of a star, and a pair Of jet
earrings to match. They were ordered
to go with a black velvet evening
gown. and were most becoming to the
white hair and fresh complexion Of
the wearer.
There are jet buckles to fasten the
girdle at the middle of the back and
are most effective with black or white
or gray gown. Jet does not blend
we'll as a rule with colors.
Add to the above list Jet belt pins,
shoe buckles. long jet chains. and even
jet rings, and you have the Jet outfit
OF one OF the best dressed and mast
fashionable women in Paris.
Another fashion abroad. this time
originating in Vienna. Is the wearing
Of artificial flowers at afternoon func-
lions. This is doubtful taste, and al
though the reason given Is the exhor-
bitant price put upon the real flowers
this winter. yet better go without or
wear fewer real violets, sroses or other
blossoms. than indulge too freely in
the limitations. However. the idea has
taken root and already some Of the
best dressed women in New York are
wearing punches of violets so beauti-
fully made and delicionusly scented
the deception Is its own excuse.
These artificial flowers. however. are
mostly seen on the promenade, or the
park drives and do not seem 80 out
Of place as at close range.
Some Of the colors for spring cos
tunes are very attractive. There is
