Only that Sautiaso hfr 8autiac

way. Ay buen rioii Marie madre de
Lios take btr life her soul fur tor
ture In purgatory only let Santiago
escape! Too weak to pray aloud, she
had crawled before tbe shrine, and
with burning, tear-covered face was
faintly whispering her petitions.
Tht girl drew herself up numbly on
her knees, nobs that came from her
very soul still shaking her slender
body. A sound outside startled her,
until she remembered that Santiago's
mother had come to weep and lament
with ber own mother. Out there, In the
patio, they were lamenting and wall
ing -with loud cries. How could they
do it lite that wailing and shrieking
so that the neighbors could hear? How
angry Santiago would if he could
hear tbem making such a noise over
him! She cast one more pitiful glance
at the Virgin, but the sweet, calm face
was so quiet, so restful, so little dis
turbed. What was the use to ask her
anything? No, there was no help. She
stood up, tottering, and moved over to
the window. There was no one In
sight; tbe hot sunshine poured down on
the yellow sandy street and the gray
adobe walls. Out In the middle of tbe
callejon some dogs and small children
rolled and tumbled In t lie dust to
gether in hlfch glfe. A burro, w ith mel
ancholy face and lung, drooping ears,
munched alfalfa, while his owner
drank pulijue in the pulque-shop near
by. It was all so ordinary, so every
day; and yet Santiago was to be shot
to-morrow! That is, unless she could
think of a plan to save him.
There wan a sudaen clatter, and the
children scattered rapidly, with many
duckings and bobblngs of their small,
fat bodies, ao good Padre Francisco, on
his pacing mare, turned the corner and
went rapidly down tbejstreet. Behind
him rode a mozo on a hacienda horse.
Panchlta thought dully that some one
at the pulque hacienda of San Juan
muet be very ill and wanted the padre
for confession. It would be a long ride
for the good old man, because San
Juan was many miles away. He would
be absent from the town for over a day.
Pulling at tbe strings of bis soutane,
Padre Francisco rode on, his old black
cloak flapping In the breeze. It was so
old and shabby that even Pancbita's
dim eyes could not but remark It Poor
Tadre Francisco, with no one to look
after bis clothes he was a good man,
and really deserved a better cloak than
that shabby thing! Perhaps, if she
asked her father, be would allow ber to
take the cloak that bad belonged to her
uncle, a priest of tbe same order as
Padre Francisco, to give to the latter
good man. And the hood that tbe padre
wore, covering his head and nearly all
his faee-was ever anything seen like
It? One could, of a surety, wear it to a
masquerade; perhaps she might borrow
It for tbe next "Balle de Mascaros." At
tbe thought she laughed and choked
It would be a good disguise.
The next moment alie was weeping
ber heart out, pressing passionate kiss
es on the cold feet of tbe Ivory Christ
He had beard her, after all, and tbe
Virgin had helped her interceded for
her! For now she knew what to do,
and Santiago should be saved. There
was a plan the Holy Morber had sent
It to her. Now to carry It out.
At 6 o'clock that evening the soldier
on gnard before Santiago's door admit
ted without question tbe thin, stooped
form of Padre Francisco, cloaked and
hooded In bis usual manner, and carry
ing prayer-books and rosary. Tho good
father was silently telling bis beads, !
and the soldier bowed bnuibly and
crossed himself as he opened tbe door,
speaking no word. For no Catholic is
privileged to address a priest wbo is
counting his rosary-beads it la a sign
that silence Is desired.
The cell door opened and closed si
lently after tbe padre, and the watches
outside beard a smothered, Impatient
ejaculation from Private Moreno, who
was smoking a cigarette and trying to
write that adlos to Panchlta. Then tbe
door was locked, for tbe padre was go
ing to confess tbe prisoner, and tbe
guards retired, laughing at tbe Idea of
confession for Santiago tbe wickedest
dog In tbe army of Mexico.
Lounging In tbe doorway, tbe soldiers
peculated laxlly as to what waa going
on In tne condemned ceii, u wii ao
quiet. Not even a murmur could be
beard, and finally tbe men agreed that
tbe padre was praying silently, with
Santiago cursing in the other corner or
tbe room.
It was dark quite dark when Padre
Francisco came out, with head bowed
lower than ever, cloak wrapped dlacon
solately about him, and Angers still tell
ing his beads. He bad been there Tor
an bonr, and surely Santiago was either
talked down or dead y this time.
"Shall we go and see 7" asked a guard
"No. bombre: let the poor brute
alone." said another.
To tbe men who watched all night
for fear that the prisoner might escape,
it seemed a century before midnight
amrt way to tbe darkness that comes
before dawn, though to the prisoner
qnlensabe! Such waiting is hard evss
on the men wbo are not to die, and
there was a sound of relief when at last
tbe first bugle sounded! it was time to
get ths prisoner and march. Because
a soldier is allowed two prlvllegss to
at sxaevted before dawn, and to be

a coward did not deserve such treat

the gray dawn, was rfectly calm and
composed wbeu he did appear made no
difference to them; perhaps he had
mustered up some courage, after his
weeping, but he bad played the coward

I Out on the bare, swampy plains of
San Geronlmo. Ju.st where Mount AJus
I co rises up bleak and rock-covered, was
' the place of execution. The walk was
not long for the men, to the sound of
the mutlled marcUa. but very dreary.
There wa hardly light enough to see
each other's faces, and the trees ami
cactus shrubs loomed up gray aud
! ghostly along the side of the rocky
; trail. As for the comlcuiued man.
i though he might have played the part
of a coward in tbe prison, tln-re was no
i sign of fear now. With quick, light
steps, almost out-distancing the regu
lar mice of the others, lie walked out

decoration by el presidents instead of
to the ii-atb or a luuruerer, ni im

had fought at Matanstas, and Huelle
and other places, arm to arm, buck to

Here was the spot And, with hie
back to AJusco. his feet sinking into
tbe damp ground, ami the gray tuixt of
the morning resting like a pall about
him. the prisoner was allowed to stand
for a moment, while the CuptaJn made
a brief address, concluding with the
statement that only because the prison
er was a soldier the "law of fire" would
be put into effect; when the word "uno"
was pronounced he was to run for his
life. On the craggy side of AJusco. he
might find shelter, perhaps. Tno

the squad would fire. Therefore he
would have to hasten otherwise, God
have mercy on his soul.
"A tendon!" The soldiers stood on
guard.
Tno!" was counted slowly. The pris
oner stood stock still, and the man
nearest swore that there was a smile
on his face. "Dos!" (Ilos do la vlda,
was he paralyzed, that be could not
run, even to save his life?) and at last,
slowly, "Tres! Fire!"
Motinles. horrified, the men bad
watched. Still the prisoner stood there,
head up and shoulders lnck. At the
sound of the "tres," however, muskets
were towered, and every hammer pull
ed. Out thundered the salute of bullets,
a veritable hall of tbem, and the soli
tary, pathetic figure tottered, then
reeled over, face downward, in the
damp grass. Dead, of course how
could It be otherwise? Tbe Captain
should havelooked to make sure, but he
wanted bis breakfast and some cognac;
merely glancing casually at the body,
be gave the order to march, and with
tht niarcha once more ringing out tbe
men tramped lck through the light of
the coming day to lmrracks and break
fast, leaving the dead man alone on tbe
plain.
Tbe next day Private Santiago Mo
reno himself, whom we have seen shot
and left dead on the San Geronlmo
plains, was there at sunset pale,
crazed with grief, and holding In bis

made to display Just all tbe ornamenta

bit of unconventionally to plan even
a ball gown with one sleeve different
from the other, but now this piquancy
appears on tbe street dress, a big bow
being set at one shoulder and not at
tbe other. The gown Just considered
was found in pale gray casslmere, the
lace yoke over white satin and the
cloth skirt ending with scrolled em
broidery over an underskirt of white

An old man by the name of Keissrof
Sslem whohaUor the past two sod a
half year resided st the cunty poor
farm, was struck by the eastbound
f.eiht No. tiS Thursiay and killed. Tbe
train crew brought him to the depot
where he died shortly alter arriving.
Tne old man was about seventy yesre
old and was quite ieeble and somewhat
demented. He left tbe poor farm ths
day before, staying all night with a
farmer about a mila east of town sod
continued hi journey west tbe nesl
morning. He conversed with parties
at tbe depot in the morning and by bis
talk they concluded that he was un
sound mentally. He stopped at ths
section bouse and was given something
to eat after which he ent on up ths
track a short distanc-" and cat down.
The engineer upon coming around a
bend saw the old man and whistled
which caused bim to get up and en
deavoring to walk past the train wss
struck by ono of the box cars which
hurled him to the ground his head
striking aainst the end of a tie crush
ing his fku'.l, and bally diifluring his
face. After the arrival of the coroner
and the selection of a jury the o d man
was enniined and upon his pe.8'n was
found several (null packages covered
with rags and fe arely sewn, which
upon
investigation were touna to con
tain small bits of iron and steel, oiu
nails and pieces of old files. Mr. Cook,
keeper of ti e poor farm came up and
identified him. The jury then render

''they were in no way at fault. He was
