They thought at first that both of
the boys were dead; but when they
tenderly lifted Jack, all burned and
blackened by the powder, they found
Cecil unframed, save by the shock;
and, with returning consciousness, his
first thought was for Jack-Jack, who
had saved him from injury at the risk
Of his own life.

him that you would do for me-all Of

And Cecil was obeyed affectionate
ly; for each one knew that, were it
not for the strange boy lying there,
one so endeared to all their hearts
would be lying In his place.
1t was evening; and the bursting Of
crackers and torpedoes, and the boom
ing of guns and cannons, was silent
for the nonce; but the illumination of
the evening sky, by rocket and candle,
seemed a celebration in honor of the
fact that the boy who had been so
willing to give up his life for another
was released from the sacrifice. The
great surgeon had done his work skill
fully. and the pain was not so bad.
Jack said, as swathed in bandages, he
lay in Cecils lace-draped bed, Cecil
kneeling at the bedside with one arm
gently and lovingly around Jacks
neck.
Gle belongs to us now, papa-doesnt
he?" the little boy in velvet said
proudly, yet tenderly; land all that l

his efforts in this direction which first
attracted Jack, and challenged his adj

by the pony, which did not second the
desire for military tactics displayed
by his young master.

Olaf A. Tveitmoe, secretary of
the Asiatic Exclusion league, and
Eugene A. Clancy, both of San
Francisco, were eloquently de-
Tended at the so-called dynamite
trial here today by United States
Senator John w. Kern of Indiana
of counsel for the defense.
"These charges" Kern said,
against Tveitmoe and Clancy
are ridiculous. They say here
that these two men are guilty of
completely in the dynamiting of
the Los Angeles Times building,
but they did not indict them on
that charge in the jurisdiction of
California. They try to bring
against them here what they have
not tried them for in their own
jurisdiction.
