Last Saturday our national Mem
orial Day, with It's flood of memories
both sad and sweet, dedicated in
tribute to the soldier dead, who gave
all to perpetuate the freedom which
their forefathers had fought to es-
tablish, was fttingly observed in all
of it's impressiveness and beauty in
Lancaster, the weather being ideally
perfect for the occasion.
In the morning at 9 80, the pro-
cession formed in front of the G.. A.
R. post hall on the west side of the
court house square, in the following
order:
The Colors.
Lancaster City Band.
Young People With Wreaths and Flowers.
Tom Cox Post GAR, Combined with Soldiers
of the Civil and Spanish American Wars
w. r. 9. and Ladies of the G. A. r.
Citizens.
Arrived at Hillside Cemetery the
ceremonies were conducted by the G..
A. R. post. Lincoln's immortal
Gettysburg Address was read by Ira
D. Totman, the memorial ritualistic
services of the G. A. R. were given
and the decoration of the graves of
the honored dead was performed by a
large number of boys and girls.
At two O'Clock the procession
again formed at the post hall and,
headed by the band, marched round
the square to the Grant County Soldi
ers' monument erected in 1867. Fol-
lowing the band were about two hun
dred boys and girls bearing flowers,

FIRST BAND CONCERT
GIVEN This SEASON
Occurred in Evening of Memoir
ial Day.
Court Yard Crowded With Pleased
Listeners and Streets Well
Lined With Autos.

The first concert of the season by
the Lancaster Band, which was to
have been given on Wednesday even
ing of last week, but which had to
be postponed on account of rain, was
given from the band stand on the
court house grounds, Saturday even
ing.
A large crowd had been in town
during the afternoon to attend the
Memorial Day ceremonies and many
remained over to hear the concert.
This is the first public appearance
of the new band since its reorganiza-
tion and it was gratifying to note
that although number of new and
inexperienced members were added
only six or eight weeks ago, they
have been we'll drilled and instructed
and acquitted themselves with much
credit. The older players did we'll,
of course and made up for minor
defects upon the part of the younger
members.
The people of the city were out in
great numbers, particularly the
younger set and the children, and all
found much enjoyment in the music.
The streets on three sides of the
square were crowded full of vehicles
principally automobiles.
While the evenings program in
cluded some classical and snowy
selections, it was noticeable that it
was the medleys and other old
fashioned melodies that met with the
heartiest applause.
One medley produced 'When You
and I Were Young, Maggie, !" The
DEVILS Dream" 'Last Rose of
Summer, - My Bonny Lies over the
Ocean" ''The Mocking Bird and
Ben Bolt" all songs of the long ago,
but they were all full of melody and
awakened memories of bygone days.
They found much favor with the audi
ence.
These concerts will be given on
Wednesday night each week during
the season, unless bad weather
prevents, in which case they will be
given on Thursday evening".

The three men loped onward through

Affairs at the Flying Heart Ranch
were not all to Jack Chapin's liking.
Ever since that memorable foot-race,
more than a month before, a gloom
had brooded over the place which
even the presence of two Smith Col

Fresno, was unable to dissipate. The
cowboys mored about like melancholy
shades, and neglected their work to
discuss the disgrace that had fallen
upon them. 1t was a task to get any
of them out In the morning, several
had quit, the rest were quarreling
among themselves, and the bunk
house had already been the scene OF
more than one encounter, altogether
too sanguinary to have originated
from such a trivial cause as a foot
race.
The master of the ranch sought his
sister Jean, to tell her frankly what
was on his mind.

CHAPTER /.

TT OUR cowboys inclined their
EEh bodies over the barbedwire
MI fence which marked the d.
m viding line between the Cen
T\fA tipede Ranch and their own,
X S%A staring mournfully into a
~ summer night such as only
E>& the far southwestern coun-
p(-- try knows. And as the four
inclined their bodies, they
inclined also their ears, after the
strained manner of listeners who
feel anguish at what they hear. A
voice, shrill and human, pierced the
night like a needle, then, with a
wall of a tortured soul, died away
amid discordant raspings: the voice
of q photograph 1t was their own,
or had been until one over-confdent
day, when the Flying Heart Ranch
had staked it as a wager in a foot
race with the neighboring Cent?
pede, and their own man had been too
slow. AS it had been their pride, 1t
remained their disgrace. Dearly had
they loved, and dearly lost it 1t
meant something that looked like
honor, and though there were ten
thousand thousand monographs, in all
the world there was not one that could
take It's place.
The sound ceased, there was an ap-
proving distant murmur Of mems
voices, and then the song began:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Lift up your voice and sing"
Higher and higher the voice mount
ed until it reached again it's first thin,
ear-splitting pitch.
"Still Bill" Slower stirred uneasily
In the darkness.
"Why'n'ell don't they keep her
wound up?" he complained. Gala
gher's got the soul of wart-hog. It's
criminal the way he massacres that
hymn"
From a rod farther down the wire
fence Willie answered him, in boys
falsetto:
81 wonder If he does 1t to spite me?"
He don't know you're here" said
Slower.
The other came out Of the gloom,
a little stoop-shouldefed man with
spectacles.
Il amt noways sure" he piped,
peering up at his lanky foreman
why do you reckon he allus lets
Mrs. Melby peter out on my favorite
record? He done the same thing last
night 1t looks like an insult"
'It's nothing but his ignorance,
Slower replied. "He don't want no
trouble with you None of 'em do"
I'D like to know for certain" The
small man seemed torn by doubt. "If
only knew he done it a-purpose, I'd
git him. bet l could do it from
here"
Stover's voice was gruff as he com.
manded:
Forget It'll Amt it bad enough for
Ms fellers to hang around like this
every night without advertising our
idiocy by gun-play?"
"They amt got no right to thai
