The Daily Short Story

The words of the big fellow, clad
in the blue flannel shirt, chaps and
boots, seemed to tear apart the
heartstrings Of the young woman
as she fell to the ground with a
sob
wait, wait" she pleaded to the
mob. 81 wish to say something
Listen to me, for Gods sake"
The girls eyes were dull and list
less. She spoke in a monotone
without gestures of any kind. Her
plain black dress with the white
ashen hue Of her cheeks made a
contrast not to be forgotten in a
moment.
Gentlemen, I am the cause of
the man standing there, dumb to
my entreaties. 1t was not because
he wished the animal for himself,
but because | had called him a
coward for not being brave enough
to face this very scene.
my sister, you all know her, was
in agony at her cabin in the hill
last night. and it was the fault of
the man, her husband, who is most
strenuous in his efforts to have
Jack, my Jack, strung to that tree.
He would not get a doctor himself.
He was too much of a coward.
asked Jack to get one. He did not
want to take chances on getting a
horse at the time, and you men
were angry at him for taking a
hand in the argument of my
brother-in-law the other night |
called him a coward for not getting
an animal some way. Not thinking
of the penalty of such an act,r he
took the nearest horse" she ended
with sob. IS.
The mob was interested, intense
ly, open-mouthed, but many of
them claimed the story to be the
invention of clever woman's
brain.
The big fellow in the blue flannel
shirt was speaking again.
Boys, we will only decide this
matter in one way. We will place
six slips Of paper in hat and on
three of the sheets will be written
the word death, and on the other
three liberty One of you will
draw a slip and the first slip drawn
will decide the answer whether this
man lives or dies. 1t that all
right?"
The crowd gave unanimous as
sent.
! The big fellow prepared six slips

ard taking of his hat, slipping his
belt and revolver holster a little
more to the front and convenient,
he again stepped upon the stump
and told the crowd to pick man
for the work of drawing the fatal
slip. A miner advanced, was blind
folded and put his right hand into
the hat, suddenly drew it forth, tore
the bandage from his eyes and
holding up the slip read Liberty"
Four years later the same three
central figures were gathered
around log fire in the mountain
cabin. Another figure came into the
room. 1t was baby three years
old. The mother drew her to her
arms and then the big man in the
center spoke. you ask me how l
knew the result of that drawing
would be liberty. Well, I'll tell
you. You see l marked all the
sips Liberty"

WIFE, you MUST FOLLOW
HUBBY!

DETROIT, July 29.-"The wife
may not choose where the family
is to live, but must follow her hus-
band, provided he treats her kind
ly." the supreme court said in de-
cision. The court set aside de-
cree of divorce recently granted by
the lower court to Mrs. Anna Wis
ner, who applied for separation be-
cause her husband went to Mexico.
She would not accompanying him
and he refused to support her in
Detroit. She obtained a divorce on
the grounds of non-support. Wis
ner appealed.

THE DRAWING

W. 6fhN
The captive w as to all appear
ances living the last moments Of
his life. With rope about his neck,
the limb of a tree in close proxim.
ity, and the crowd of excited
miners, gamblers and prospectors
surging round him, he stood, fear
lesslyy, quiet and resigned.
The leader of the mob was speak
ing.
Boys, this critter is about to die.
Not because he shot man, not be-
cause he killed half a dozen men,
or is brigand. No, because he
has done what no man in this sec
ton of the country would do had
he any spark of the stuff we are
supposed to have lost on our en-
trance to the west in him-honor.
He has been convicted by common
assent as a boss thief. To be a
boss thief in the section of the
country where we are is to be the
lowest thing a man-an' he amt a
man at that-can be. | amt got
much to say, and | amt taking long
to say it, but he's got to suffer the
penalty of his crime"
Finishing his speech amid the
roar of the mems voices, he
stepped from the log on which he
was standing and addressed the
man.
IF you know any prayers, mis-
ter, say them; cause you won't
have long to live. Do you want to
be blindfolded.
NO" was the calm answer
"Then pray" were the words of
the big fellow.
The crowd did not expect to see
the figure move, but in an instant
the man wos on his knees praying
with fervor. Several minutes had
elapsed when horses hoofs were
heard grinding over the rocky road.
A minute more and young woman
of comely appearance threw herself
from her horse and sobbed upon
| the neck of the kneeling man.
Joe, Joe, what is the trouble
Oh, don't kill him. Don't murder
him." she sobbed, with the tears
binding her and rolling down her
| ashen cheeks "Joe, | love you
| love you-love you. Do you un
| derstand? she cried
He said nothing, not even return
| ing her caresses, and staring
straight ahead, seemed to be lost
in oblivion.

gaudiness. The ebony stick with
chunk of that which glitters at 1
end of it is now passe. 1t is in
delibly associated with a plug hat
and mutton-chop whiskers. The
plug hat still fingers on it's reserva-
ton, but the mutton-chop whiskers
are no more. Such also is the fate
of the gold-headed cane. Like its
head, it is chased.
Old customs are hard to eradi-
cate from the human system, how
ever, and the gold-headed cane still
shines in the mournful function at
which it is conferred upon the most
popular man at a picnic. The re-
cipient always replies in low,
broken tones, for well he knows
that he has been stung and cannot
even give the blame thing away be-
cause his name is engraved on it.

THE, SUPREME DUTY

No one disputes that the Chief Execr-
tive of a State should be a man of eX-
allied character, Of moral and imellec-
tual worth, and a type of its cleanest
and highest citizenship.
But his official duties have been wise
1y prescribed, and beyond them, except
in times of extreme peril when the safe
ty of society is the supreme law, he
should not be suffered to stray
For years, or to be exact. since 1888
now quite twenty years. the Governor
of Louisiana has grown to be the State
and to him has been delegated through
our Constitution, our laws and our sub
missive conduct. all the powers of al
autocrat. with no responsibility to any
one save his will
Four years ago public opinion began
to assume its deserted functions. A
primary election law and other reforms
followed. and now we are at period
when we must determine that Chief
Executive shall resume those functions
and those duties only which, in repub-
lies, constitutions wisely prescribe for
him.
Our courts are now free from eNecu-
