Some pretty favors that may be made at home for a dinner, dance or luncheon have as their foundation the flat circu lar boxes used by confectioners. The boxes should not be more than an inch or an inch and a half high. Their cir cumference is a matter of taste, though a box of about twelve inches is perhaps the best. Make as many bags of surah or China silk, in bright colors, as yon have boxes, and leave the bags open across the bottom. Sew the bottom of the bag around the box on the outside, and over the stitches put a band of satin ribbon the width of the rim of the box. Turn the top of the bag ia a hem suffi ciently wide to allow of a shirring string. Sometimes the band of ribbon around the box is powdered with tiny painted flowers. If for a color luncheon, these bags Bhould be of one color. If for cotillon favors, rainbow hues have the best effect. One box can be used for two bags, as both the bottom and the cover are of the same size. New York Post.

The extraordinary interest in the af fair was less dne to the murder and its peculiar circumstances than to the fact that this was the first case tried at San Saba in any more formal court than the time honored institution of Judge Lynch. As there was no place specially ar ranged for the trial, Judge Pitblado hos pitably offered the use of his shed. Here a rongh table and chair were placed for tho judge, the other necessary furniture, intended to represent the dock, tho stand, etc., being eked out with boxes from Silas Bagget's grocery store. Jake Smith looked at these prepara tions for a tiino with frowning discon tent aud then strolled down tho ro.td, turning into tho lane that led to Blake's When he reached the door of the shanty he leaned against tho jamb and jwked his naked head inside, fanning l.liiisclf in an embarrassed way with his greasy fragment of a hat. Ho had come there with the intention of saying something. but lho sight within made him forget it, Blake's widow Kit there, as she had pretty much all the time since the mur tier, staring straight before her, with her chin in her palm. The sunlight struck through tho foliage of tho red oak trees that grew before the door, and checkered with the flickering brightness the door and cradle in which Jem's baby was sleepiug. There it was, jnst as it had been three days ago (could it be only three days?) just as it had been when sho went out that morning to look after tho drying clothes and left him standing in the door by the cradle (how fond he wa3 of tho baby!) just as it v.'as when she heard the crack of the pistol and ran in with an awful sense of suffocating fright jnst the same as when sho had found him lying upon the cradle, dabbling its white linen with his blood and the baby playing with his hair. She screamed once, the first and last complaint any one had hsard her make; then sho was quiet and helpful through it all when men came and lifted him up; when they had laid him on tho rough bed m the other room; when they carried him to the' grave, she following with tho baby in her arms. Jake Smith was trying to find the link missing m his thoughts; ho sniffed with perplexity or something and Blake's widow looked up without speaking. Jake nodded pleasantly four or five times. "Pooty chippor?" asked he. Blako's widow smiled sadly, bent over the sleeping child and smoothed the clothes with a tender touch. They'ro agoin ter try him in a court,' Jake went on, "an 1 don't believe" "Try who Antonio?" She turned to ward tho burly figure in the door with a flash of interest in her black eyes. es. Thejedgo is making a court out of hi3 shed. 1 hope it'll turn out all right, bnt it seems like givin that Mexi can devil a chance he oughtn't ter have." "He can't get clear, can he?" she asked, rocking tho cradlo gently and patting the coverlet. "1 don't seo how, but he's got some kind of a law cuss to speak for him a feller that stopped here a day or two ago on his way to Galveston and it makes me kind o' nervous." Blake's widow did not appear to no tice tho last remark, for the child, dis turbed by tho talking, had awakened and sat up in his cradle with a wonder ing look. "Pooty, ain't he?" said Jake, regarding the small figure with interest. "Loolcs just like ahem you. Poor little 1 a" he stammered, and treated his hat like a mortal encniy. "Of course he'd had you've got there's nothin 1 could do fur yer, maybe?" She answered with a grateful look, but it was accompanied by a shake of the head. Jake bent down and with his big fore finger softly rumpled the hair of the ba by's head; then he went out and left them. Blako's widow sitting as he found her and the baby staring down tho path after him. He walked on until he reached the top of the little hill, where he could look down npon tho roof which covered the piteous scene he had just left. Here he seemed to have half a mind to turn back, for ho hesitated and stopped; but he changed his pax-tial intention after lin gering a moment aud walked medita tively onward, with the exclamation, "Wal. some women do beat the d 1 amazin." Of course everybody came to the trial The arrangements were soon found to retreating bo altogether too meager. Pitblado's ehed was filled to overflowing and Bag' get made a clean eweep of every empty box in his store. Antonio's lawj-er, a sharp eyed, sharp featured fellow from Galveston, had bustled about with surprising agility on the day previous, holding mysterious conferences with ill conditioned fellows of Gueldo's kidney. The court was assembled, the jury had been chosen, and the witnesses wero all present save ono Blake's widow. Pretty soon there whs a stir at the door, then a murmur of surprise ran through tho crowded room. "May 1 bo d d," said Jake Smith, au dibly, "if she hasn't brought her bob!" What reason she may have had for not leaving the little thing in charge of some sympathizing woman and there were plent- who would have been glad of the trust, was not apparent; how ever that might be, there it was, clasped firmly in her arms, its bright red checks contrasting with her whiteness, and its father's sunny hair mingling with her dark locks. With somo difficulty wav was made thro-h the throng to her seat, which had been placed rn one Fide of the judge, directly opposite the candle box, on the other, whero Antonio sat. Sho took her place and never moved during the whole of tho trial, excepting as she Do You Know it?

Streitz. 4-1 was required to testify, and once when the baby tugged at some glistening thing that lay hidden in the folds of her dress, at which she took pains to distract its attention with a chip from the floor. for the baby, it sat there with its big blue eyes open to their fullest extent, entirely absorbed in the novel scene, save at the moment when that irresisti ble glitter caught its eye. Every one being now present, the trial went on in good earnest. A number of witnesses were examined, whose testi mony showed that Gueldo had had trou ble with make, and more than once threatened his life; that Gueldo's pistol was one charge empty on the evening of the day of the murder, whereas in the mormng it had been full; that he was seen that morning around Blake's house, and more than that, Blake's widow had heard Gueldo's voice just before the fatal shot, and had seen him as she ran out. At this last point the Galveston law yer asked the witness a few questions re garding how she know it was Gueldo's, and how she had recojmized tho voice for his. Sho didn't know how exactly. but was none the less sure for that. There had been a rumor about that some ono had heard Antonio make a boast of "having done for Blake this time," but if there were a witness foi this he could not bo found now. And so the prosecution closed. The Galveston lawyer began by in volving in a whirlpool of helpless con tradiction the witness who had sworn to having seen Gueldo near Blako's house. Then he expatiated on the ease with which one person may be mistaken for another, and brought a witness to show how Gueldo had already been said to re- semblo some one in the village. Finally he produced threo of the ill conditioned fellows before referred to, who swore that Antonio was with them on a hunt ing expedition during the whole of the tlay on which the murder was com mitted. It was a clear case of alibi. Jack Smith's astonishment at the case with which the thing had been accomplished was unbounded. Ho threw a disgusted look toward Pitblado, but tho judge was nonplussed and didn't seem to be inter ested with things in Jake's vieinitv "Gentlemen of the jurv," said he, "the verdict took a turn I didn't alto gether cxpec'. I don't know as there's much to bo said. I s'pose you've trot to jo by the evidence, an that don't need any explainin. Ef you kin make out, accordin ter that, that Antonio Gueldo killed Jem Blake, why, jest recollect that's what yer here fur." Jake Smith figdeted about on his box and cast anxious glances through the open door toward the clmnp of nopals where the jury was deliberating. Antonio talked and laughed in an un dertone with his counsel, and Blake's widow sat staring at them with com pressed lips and a strong expression of determination coming into her face, It wasn t long beiore the jury filed in again, all seating themselves but the spokesman, end Judge Pitblado rose, wiping his forehead with his shirt sleeves. "Straightened it out, havo ye?' asked lie, nodding to the spokesman. Tho man nodded in return. "Yer see." said the spokesman, with a hesitating and disappointed air, "ef yer Iiadn t a-cprralled us with sticking ter the evidence wo might 'a' done bet ter, bnt accordin to that Antonio wasn't thar when tho murder was done, an ef ho weren't thar he couldn't 'a' done it. n ef he didn't do it, why then of course he's net guiltv." Pitblado didn't dare to look at any body: ho stared up at the rafters, down at the table, nowhere in particular, and then turned half way toward the pris oner. Yon kin go," said he at last, and with great deliberation, "but don't stay around here too long." There was a dead pause, during which nobody moved. Jako Smith exploded a single cuss word which he had held in for some time past, and Blake's widow stood up. "Have you got through, judge," she asked. "Waal 1 s'pose so." "And there is nothing else to bo done?" "I am afraid there ain't." "And he's free to go?" "Y-a-s." Antonio Gueldo arose with an insolcn grin and picked up his hat. The baby crowed, for it saw the glit tering thing again. There was a sharp report Antonio pitched forward in a heap upon tho floor and Blake s widow stood with tho pisto pressed to her breast. A line of thin bine smoke curled from the muzzle of the weapon and formed halo around the child's flaxen head. The glittering thing was quite near the little hands now. ::nd they took it from the jielding grasp of tha mother. Blake's widow looked steadily at the figure on the floor--it was quite motion less; then she turned and went through the wide passage opened for her by the silent crowd, holding the babv verv ten derly, and the baby carrying the pistol. The child binghed with delight; it had got its shining plaything again.
