The Spirit Of the Ancient Wood.
Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon, was the memory
of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her to
bed and tucking her in, in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
and gratitude, as another blessing

The Turn Of the Tide.


Lights in a country house at night
are often the signal of birth or death,
sometimes of both. The old red house
threw it's beacon from almost every
window that night, and seemed mute
ty to defy the onslaught OF enveloping
darkness, whether Plutonic or Stygfan.
Time was when Parson Thayer's IL
brary lamp burned nightly into the lit
tie hours. and through the uncurtained
windows the churchyard ghosts, had

almost as quiet AID noiseless as the
ghosts themselves. Now ne had stepped
across the threshold and joined them,
and new spirits had come to burn the
light in the old red house.
Agatha, halfdressed, had slept, and
woke feeling that the night must be
far advanced. The house was very
still, with no sound or echo OF the In.
coherent tones which, for now many
days, had come from the room down
the hall. She lit a candle, and the
NSputtering match seemed to fill the
house with noise. Her clock indicated

ROBERT HARRIS GRANTED NEW
TRIAL BY SUPREME COURT
SIGNAL VICTORY FOR AL
LANCE AND STAR.

The case of Robert Harris, which
was tried at La Junta, Colo, for the
shooting and killing of two officials
on the 4th day of July, 1911, and for
which he was tried, convicted and
sentenced to hang twice, was reversed
by the Supreme court of Colorado
Tuesday and Harris gets a new trial.
Harris contended that he was in his
home and was quiet, though he had
had some trouble some time before
the officers went into his home with
out warrant and beat him and his aged
mother and father and then attempted
to shoot him when he took the revol-
yer of one of the officers and did the
shooting which resulted in the death
of the two officers. The Peoples Sun
DAY Alliance and some citizens took
up the matter of securing for Harris
a new trial and DIR. Jones appointed
a committee from the Alliance, assist
ed by the Women's Clubs of the city,
to collect fund to take the case to the
highest court. Lawyer Townsend was
very active in helping to raise the ne
cessary funds and he also appeared
with Harris lawyer, Judge Henry OF
Pueblo, in the Supreme court, and as
sisted in the presentation of the case,
sometime last March. Now comes the
DEGREES that Harris did not have fair
trial and the case is to be tried again.
The colored citizens of Colorado. es-
pecially of Pueblo and Colorado
Springs, who took interest in the case
and gave their money freely to see
that Harris got justice, have shown
clearly what they CAN do for the race
when injustice has been done to one
of it's members. The Star congratu-
lates the colored citizens because this
means that the courts of Colorado
stands for fair play and exact justice.
Judge Essex, who tried the case in La
Junta has since been paralyzed.
