Of the lover whose passion is not hui
morous. Against his training. his
judgment. he was being drawn into
closer and closer union with this
daughter of violence. and he added,

You must not go without seeing my
mother. You must have your break
fast with us. 1t hurt us to think you
didn't come to us for supper"
Her words meant little, but the look
in her eyes, the music in her voice,
made him shiver. He stammered: II

row. l should go back tonight"

There was something delightfully."-

CHAPTER XIII.
THE OLD SHEEP HERDER

THE OLD SHEEP HERDER.
"HE ranger vas awakened In the
first faint dawn by the passing
of the girls light feet as she
went across the hall to her
mothers room, and a moment later he
heard the ow murmur of her voice.
Throwing off his blankets and making
such scant toilet as he needed, he
stepped into the hall and waited for
her to return.
Soon she anne toward him. a smile
of confidence and pleasure on her lips.
"How is she?' he asked.
"Quite comfortable"

edged. II didn't sleep very we'll"
"You didn't sleep at ALL" he declared
regretfully.
"Oh. yes, l did," she replied brightly.
These two ardent souls confronted
each other in absorbed silence with
keener perception. with new daring,
with new intimacy, till he recalled
himself with effort. You must let me
help you if there's anything 1 can do.
Remember, I'm your big brother"
81 remember" she answered smiling
ly, land I'm going out to see what my
big brother is to have for breakfast"
Cavanagh found the street empty,
silent and utterly commonplace. He
went forth to his duties with a deep
ened conviction of the essential law
lessness of the state and Of America in
general. for this spirit Of mob law
was to be found in some form through
out the land. He was disgusted. but
not beaten. His resolution to carry out
the terms Of his contract with the
government remained mistaken.
He carried with him also a final
disturbing glimpse of Eliza Wether-
ford's girl that did indeed threaten his
peace Of mind. There was an invol-
untary appeal, a wistful depth, to her
glance which awakened in him an in
dignant pity and also blew into fame
something not so creditable-some-
thing which smoldered beneath his
conscious will. She had not escaped
her heritage of passion. and her
glances, innocent as they were, reused
ever in him something lawless.

ORIGIN OF AN EXPRESSION.
"if This Court Knows Herself, and
She Thinks She Do"
fro BE CONTINUED

She Thinks She Do"
We frequently hear the expression,
IF the court knows itself. and 1t
thinks 1t does" but few persons are
aware Of the origin thereof.
The individual who gave birth to 1t
was a Pike county Missourian named
Blackburn, who fourished in the west
many years ago. Blackburn ran away
from home when he was q mere boy
and sought his fortune In the west,
where he grew to manhood as an In
dian fighter, hunter, trapper and
mountain guide. Although not an ed
ucated man. he was possessed of great
acumen, to which was united a keen
wit. When gold was discovered In
California, Blackburn was n Of the
first to proceed thither. The miners
as a sort of joke elected him alcalde,
an Office that combined the duties Of
mayor and justice of the peace. The
first case coming before the new al
calde was that Of q gambler who while
drunk had ridden his horse owe q
young Mexican m She was seri-
ously injured.
The trial took place in the largest
cabin In the neighborhood. The gam
bier, who was rich, had retained able
counsel to defend him. Alcade Black
burn called the young woman to the
witness stand. She told a straight
forward. honest story. When she had
finished the alcalde peremptorily end
ed the trial. The attorney for the de-
PENDANT protested vigorously, but the
alcalde disposed of his protest thus:
IF this court knows herself, and she
thinks she do, / fine you $500 damages
and assess upon you the cost Of putin
this young woman in good condition"
When asked what he meant by
good condition" the alcalde replied
that the gambler must pay the Doctors
bills and all other costs of the young
woman's sickness.-Exchange

AID WOLGAST WILL
 MEET M'FARLAND

Milwaukee, July 30.-Ad W olgast and Pac'-y Mcfarland may yet be opponents here in a 10-round bout in place of Mc- Farland and Matt Wells. The latter pair have signed articles for a 10-round, no- decision affair here early in September
 Champion Wolgast has sent word to Mcfarland that unless he signs to meet him in 10-round go in Milwaukee he will never consider him opponent for a 2O-round bout on the coast later on and it is possible that Packey will accede to the champions demands and sign up.
 Should Wolgast and Mcfarland be un- able to agree on a bout. Wells will go on with Mcfarland before the Badger Ath- letic club September 12. George McDon- aid, manager of Wells, today wired from Albany, N. Y, that all terms of the local match are acceptable and he says his $50O fofeit is on the way.
 Late tonight Emil Thiry, manager for Mcfarland, and Matchmaker Mullern of the National Athletic club of this city, matched the two pugilists for 10-round battle here some time during September, probably September II. The weight will be 133 pounds. Wolgast will arrive here two weeks before the battle to prepare for the affair.
