Aborigines of Texas Unlike the Fierce Tribes of Other Sections of
 the Country.

Stone implements found in ancient workshops in Texas, antedating French, Spanish Or American settlers, prove that the original settlers of this state were not like the fierce tribes encountered in modern times by the white settlers.
 Little is known about the aboriginal population of Texas, which lies be- tween the Pueblo and mound builders area, but Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the American bureau of ethnology, aided by Professor Peace of the Uni versity of Texas, have located Some lOng-forgotten village sites. Their in- vestigations lead to the belief that the original people of the middle part of the state were hunters, while those of the eastern part near the timber belt, were followers of agricultural pur- suits and were skilled in the manufac- mound builders. The western part of the state was a more elevated and less arid plateau. Here the people re- sembled the Pueblos of New Mexico Some of the tribes are reported to have been cannibals. In the opening of the eighteenth century Apaches. COmanches and other savage tribes rOamed over Texas, following the buff faIo, or raiding across it into Mexico. There seems to have been constant hostility with these Indians, in which many smaller tribes were extermi- mated.

 As an Anderson he was already a public character, and the story of his adventure in the Rev. Malloch Smiths front yard became a town topic. Many people glanced at him with great dis taste thereafter, when they chanced to encounter him, which meant noth- 'ns to GeOrgie, because he innOcently believed most grown people to be nee essArily cross looking as a normal phe- | nomenon resulting from the adult | state; and he failed to comprehend l that the distasteful glances had any personal beuring upon himself. If he had perceived such bearing he would have been affected only so far, prob ably, as to mutter, "Riffraff!"

But Georgie heard noth- ing of this, and the yearners for his taking down went unsatisfed, while their yearning grew the greater as the happy day of fulfllment was longer and longer postponed.

CHAPTER W.

The hero of the fete, with the dark eyed little beauty upon his arm, reached the top of the second flight of stairs; and here, beyond a spacious landing, where two proud-1ike darkies tended a crystalline punch bowl, four wide archways in a rOse-vine lattice framed gliding silhouettes of waivers, already smoothly at it to the castanets of La Paloma." Old John Minafer, evidently surfeited, was in the act of leaving these delights escorted by a middle-aged man of commonplace ap- pearance. The escort had a dry, lined face upon which, not ornamentally but as a matter of course, there grew a business mans short mustache; and his thin neck showed an Adams apple, but not conspicuously, for there was able part of this festival, and although there were a dozen or more middle

James mamma left Jane home alone for a few moments while she ran around to the store. Before going she told Jane that she positively must not let the cat in before she returned. Jane assured her mother that she would do as she was told and not let him in. Ten minutes later Jane's mamma re- turned and Jane sat where she left her, betting the cat.
 "Jane," said mamma, ''I think told you not to let kitty in until I came back"
 You did, mamma" replied Jane, "'n' 1 didn't let him in. He opened the door hisself and walked in."
