If there was never any storm or rain.
Fair flays would cease to be so rare and street;
-It is when fainting on the dusty street
We mind us of the woods; ah! then we faia
Would rest among the shadows once again.
We long for Winter; when the wild stomas
beat
Upon our heads we pine for Summer's heat:
There Is no Joy without somo loss or pain.
To take Life as we find It is the art
Of living well. Ah, let us not forget.
Though life be dark today there may be yet.
When Summer comes, much joy for each sad

Perhaps God sends us trouble as a test.
To see if it will prove us at our best.

Pretty Favors.
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

Jem Blake was shot dead in his own
doorway by Antonio Gneldo and the
trial was to come off directly.
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.

"Try who Antonio?" She turned to
ward tho burly figure in the door with a
flash of interest in her black eyes.

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,

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. Detroit
