But Jimmy had other reflections.
Ten minutes later he walked past his

around in the sitting room.

mother.

He would not let his eyes find the

the other side of the ear roof, and his
jump fell short. The father saw his
sons head SO down, and for an awful
minute Henry Sears heard the lum-
bering train go by. In the first second
of that minute the frantic man list
ened for scream. He heard none.
Then slowly he sank upon a baggage
truck. He was helpless. The paraly-
sis of horror was upon him. Car after
car jOlted along. At last the yellow
caboOse flashed by him. Half of the
longest second Henry Sears ever knew
passed before he dared turn his eyes
toward the place on the track where
his son went down. Then he looked,
and saw nothing but the cinder track
and the shining rails But an instant
later he heard a familiar WhOOD. and,
staring around, he saw Jimmy sitting
on load of wheat which was stand
ing between the railroad tracks.
In this the boy had falleu after his
sidewise jump had thrown him from
the moving train. When Henry Sears
saw his son, Jimmy was holding his
foot, juggling Ii vigorously, and roar
ing, moved half by the hysteria of
fright and half by the pain of a fresh
laceTatiOn of his bruised toe.
The boys face was black with
coal dust and wheat chaff, and tears
were stripping his features grOtesquely.
The palsy of terror lOOsened it's teel
bands from the fathers limbs, and he
ran to the wheat wagon. Jimmy Sears,
for all he or his father knows, may have
flOated to the ground from the wagon
bed. But a moment later, in a frenzy
wherein anger furnished only a sub
conscious motor and joy pumped Wild
ly at the expanding valves of his
blissful heart, Henry Sears took his
13-year-old son across his knee and
spanked him in a delirium Of ecstacy;
spanked him merrily. while a heaven
Iy peace glorified his paternaI soul;
spanked him, caring not how many
times the little body wriggled and the
little voice hOwled, and the dirty little
fingers foiled his big, bOny hand as il
fell. At the end of the felicitous Oc-
casion the father found his voice:
Haven't I told you enough, sir, tC
keep off the Cars2 Haven't? Haven't
I? Answer me, sir, Do you hear me-
Haven't I?'
And Jimmy Sears knew by that turr
OF the conversation that the episodes
of the stolen chicken and the broker
/ showcases were forgotten; so he nod
ded a cOntrite head. His father re-
/ turned to earth by giving his son {
| few casual cuffs, with, will you try
/ that again, sir?" and continued
Now, sir, let me see you walk right

a grand novelty of entertainment
portraying Wild Western Histori

ing one, it dosen't signify that the
entertainment is ali shooting, nor is
the plot founded upon dime novel
lines. The acting is somewhat
sensational, the climaxes are ex.
hilierating, the scenes are western,
true TO life, but the show as a
whole is entertaining, instructive
aud strictly moral The company

comedians, actors and a complete
outfit of scenery, costumes, cowboy
band, etc, to produce the big spec
ticular western entertainment.
The novelty of the show offers
an entirely new amusement The
, comedy features are very strong as
the old negro servant of Jesse,
Lige, keeps the audience in con.
vulsion. The press is speaking
very highly of this show in the
different cities where they have
appeared, the entire show is pre-
sented in big water proof tent
especially constructed for this
show.
The following from the EI Paso
Times of March 18th, is self.ex-
planatory:
"The W / Swain Dramatic com
pany, located in the big tent east
of the city hall, made their initial
bow to an Ell Paso audience last
night. 1t was estimated that fully !
seventeen hundred people were in
the tent. The Swain company is
a strong dramatic organization,
and if applause counts for anything
the show was thoroughly appre-
ciated by the big audience last
night. Mr.. Swain has arranged !
his tent with commodious stage
and bright scenery. The seats are
comfortable, making the tent a
complete tbeater. While all the
available space was occupied last
night, the audience seemed to be
in good humor and out for good
time. The best of order prevailed.
A successful engagement will un
doubtedly greet them during the

lief of Coroner Hamburger, as expressed

burger told the jury that before coming

oner I believe and expect to show to
you that Albert J. Adams was murdered

before you"
