BOYD Lester

BOYD Lester"
I want to remember them" said the
young fellow, a slight huskiness in his
voice. II noticed this Just now for
the first time" He laughed half
shamefacedly, and he fumbled at his
mustache.
Come with me and will see to
mending that" pledged Lester, and he
did not hesitate TO take the man to
his room, provide razor and toilet
accessories, and sent him home with
grateful, though rather wretched
face.
Lester made only one reference
alter that to the episode and
tnat was to report his action to Grace
III accordance with her request to him.
he received sweet friendly smile. a
glance OF rare approval from those tell
tale eyes. Then a few days before
the judgeship election were hus,lv
spent.
1t was heated contest, and the
most expert politicians could not pre-
dict the outcome with any confidence.
Votes were sought after eagerly.
About four o'clock in the afternoon a
wagon drove up filed with denizens
OF the creek district. A man jumped
out and approached Lester.
Remember me?" he inquired.
I do" assured Lester, "and / am
glad to see you. Did you get home all
right that day."
Yes, and told my wife all about It

Lester in genuine appreciation Of the
favor bestowed.

That was the report OF the judges
OF election two hours later.
In favor Of Boyd Lester" was the
final bulletin.
The Judge hooked arms with the
successful candidate-in fact, took
formal possession of him at the an
nouncement. Ellis Deane read the &C
ton Alright, and went home generally
disgruntled.
Grace watched them coming and
great throb OF Joy permeated her be-

First Eootnatha In 1852.

The student of old London, motto
ing the whitened curbs in the streets
today, is inevitably reminded that the
institution of the footway is really
of quite recent date. It was not, In
deed. until after the Westminster paw.
ing act of 1852 that footways became
at all general. Before that time man
and beast took the same road. Many
of the old iron posts, which are still
to be seen in Regent street and else
where, showing the crown and the
monogram of the Georges. indicate the
corners of these first footways.

Flavor Of "cruuru."

The palm grub was called "grugru"
in the West Indies. 1t was there that
the late Sir John La Forey learned to
eat it. AS he was thought to be man
somewhat more particular than the or
binary individual in his choice of food,
he found listeners when he discoursed
on the great delicacy and the delicious
flavor of the palm grub.
The Greeks served the grub instead
Of fruit. A novel way OF preparing it
at the table was to take the worm,
roasted. from q plant which was
brought In by a slave The Grecian
epfcures were high in their praise of
the grubs.

enter towns before their identity

town OF Sauz. Sonora, was rAided last
year. The inhabitants saw the
mounted body approaching with
trumpets hourishinE and drums ruff

pected detachment OF troops was ar
irving. Not until the Indians were
actually in the town was II realized
what had happened. Men. women
and children were forced out OF their
homes and driven to the town plaza
where all were stripped. Terrified
and helpless they stood while the
Snvages packed the clothing. looted
the houses. gathered in the horses
and mules. and rode off unnolested
with four Of the young girls.
The Mexican wife and family Of an
American, John Lehr. were carried
on by the Indians during a raid up
on the town Of SuaQue Grande during
November OF last year after after the
