Tho extraordinary interest in tho af fair was less duo to tho murder and ltt peculiar circumstances than to tlie fncl that this was tho first case tried at San Saba in any moro formal court than the timo honored institution of Judge Lynch. As there was no placo specially nr ranged for tlie trial, Judge Pitblado hos pitably offered tho use of his shed. Here a rough table and chair were placed f 01 tho judge, the other necessary furniture intended to represent tho dock, the stand, etc., being eked out with boxer from Silas LtaRget s grocery store. Jako Smith looked nt these prepara tions for n time witli frowning dlscon tont nnd then strolled down tho road, turning into tho lanothat led to Blake's, When ho reached tho door of tho 6hantj ho leaned against tho jamb nnd poked his naked head inside, fanning himsell in un embarrassed way with his grcasj fragment of a hat. IIo had como then with tho intention of saying something but tbo sight within mado him forget it Blako's widow sat there, as sho had pretty much all tlio timo Binco tho raur dcr, staring straight beforo her, witl her chin in her palm. Tlio sunlight struck through tho foliago of tho red oak trees that grew beforo tlio door, and checkered with tho flickering brightnost tho floor and ciadlp in which Jem's babj was sleeping. Thoro it was, just as it had been thrci days ago (could It bo only three days?- just as it had been when sho went out that morning to look after tho drying clothes nnd left him standing in tho dooi by tho cradle (how fond ho was of tin baby!) just as it was when 6ho heard tlio crack of tho pistol and run in witl an awful senso of suffocating fright- just tho 6amo aB when sho had found him lying upon tho cradle, dabbling iti white linen with Ids blood and tho bab playing with his hair. Sho screamed once, tho first and Inst complaint anj one had heard her make; then sho wai quiet ond helpful through it all whei men came and lifted him up; when t)ie had laid him on tho rough bed in thi other roomi when they carried him tc tho grave, she following with tlio babj in her arms. Jako Smith was trying to find tlio link missing in his thoughts; he sniffed witl perploxity or something and Blako'i widow looked up without speaking Jako nodded pleasantly four or fivt timos. "Pooty chipper?' asked he. Blako's widow smiled sadly, bent ovei tlio sleeping child and smoothed the clothes with a tender touch. 'They're agoin ter try him in a court,' Jako went on, "an I don t believe 'Try who Antonio?' Sho turned to ward tlio burly figure in tho door with a Hash of interest In her black eyes. 'Yes. Ihe ledge is making a court out of his shed. 1 hope it'll turn out all right, but it seems liko glvin that Jleil can devil n chauco heoughtn t ter have. 'IIo can t get clear, can he? sho asked. rocking tho cradlo gently and patting tho coverlet. 'I don't see how, but he's got somt kind of n law cuss to speak for him feller that stopped here n day or two age on his way to Galveston nnd it make mo kind o nervous." Blake's widow did not appear to no tice the last remark, for tho child, dls turbed by tho talking, had awakened and sat up In ins cradle with a wonder ing look. "rooty, aln t her' said Jake, regarding the small figure with interest. "Look, just like ahem you. Poor little 1- a lie stammered, and treated his Hal liko a mortal enemy. "Of course he'd had you've got there's nothin I could do fur yer, mayuer" She answered with a grateful look, but it was aooompanied by a shako of the head. Jake bent down and with bis big fore finger softly rumpled the liair of the ba by's bead; then he went out and left them, Blake's widow sitting as ho found her and the baby staring down the path after him. lie walked on until lie reached the top of the little hill, where he could look down upon the root whioh oovered the piteous scene he ltad just left Here he seemed to have half a mind to turnback, for he hesitated and stopped; bat he changed his jiartial intention after Un garing a moment and walked medita tively onward, with the eiolamation, "Wal, some women do beat tbo .1 1 Of course everybody came to the trial The arrangetnouta were soon found t be altogether too meager. Pitblado' shad was filled to overflowing and Bag- get wade a clean sweep of every empty box In bit store. Antonio's lawyer, a sharp eyed, sharp featured fellow from Galveston, had bustled about witli surprising agility on the day previous, holding mysterious eonerenow with ill conditioned fellows of Gneldo's kidney. The court was assembled, the jury had been chosen, and the witnesses were all present save one Blake's widow. Pretty soon there was a stir at th. door, then a murmur of surprise ran through the crowded room. "May I be d-d," said Jake Smith, au dibly, "if she hasn't brought her bob!" what reafoa she may nave had for not leaving the little thing in charge of some symp-'lihrlng woman and there wet plant . .. would have been glad ,t of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report of tho trnst was not apparent; how ever that might be, there it was, clotped firmly In Lor arms, its bright red oheeks 1 contrasting with her whiteness, and its I father's sunny liair mingling with her dark lot Its. With some difficulty way was made through the throng to her seat, which had been placed on one side of the udge, directly opposite the candle box, on tlie other, where Antonio sat. She took her place and never moved during tho whole of tho trial, excepting an she was required to testify, and once when tho baby tagged nt some glistening thing that lay hidden iu the folds of iter ilrom, at which sho took pains, to distract its attention with a chip from the floor. As for the baby, it sat there with it big blue eyes open to their fullest extent, entirely absorbed in the novel rcene, save at tlie moment when that irresisti ble glitter caught its eye. livery one being now present, the trial went on in good earnest. A number of witnesses woro examined, whoso testi mony showed that Gueldo had had trou ble with Blake, nnd moro than once threatened Ids life; that Gneldo's pistol was ono charge empty on tho evening of tho day of the murder, whereas in the morning it had been full; that he was seen that morning around Blake's house, and more than that, Blako's widow had heard Gneldo's voice just before the fatal shot, and had seen him retreating as sho ran out. At this last point the Galveston law yer asked tho witness a few questions re garding how sho knew it was Uueldo s, and how she had recognized tho voice for his. KIio dldn t know how exactly. but was none the loss suro for that. Thero had been a rumor about that some ono hail heard Antonio mako a boaet of "having dono for Blnko this tlmo," but if thore wero n witness for tins ho could not bo found now. And so the prosecution cloted. The Galveston lawyer began by in volving in n whirlpool of helpless con tradiction the witness who had sworn to having scon Gueldo near Blako's house. Theu he expatiated on tho case with which one person may be mistaken for another, and brought a witness to show how Gueldo had nlready been said to re- semblo some one in the village. Finally lie produced threo of tho ill conditioned fellows before referred to, who sworo that Antonio was with them on a hunt ing expedition during tho whole of the day on which tho murder was com mitted. It wiii a clear case of alibi. Jack Smith's astonishment at the ease with which tho thing had been accomplished was unbounded. He threw n disgusted look toward Pitblndo, bnt the judgo was nonplussed nud didn't seem to bo inter ested with things in Jake's vicinity. "Gentlemen of the jury," said he, iho 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'vo got to go by tho ovldenco, an that don't ueod any cxplaiuin. EC you kin mako out, nccordin ter that, that Antonio Gueldo killed Jem Blake, .why, jeet recollect mat s what yer ncre fur." Jako Smith iigdeted about on his box nnd cast anxious glances through the open door toward tho clump of nopils where tho jury was deliberating. Antonio talked and laugned in an un dertone with his counsel, nnd Blako's widow sat staring nt them with com pressed lips and n strong expression of determination coming into her face. It wasn t long beforo tho jury filed in again, all seating themselves but tho epokesinau, nnd Judgo Pitblado rose, wiping ids forehead with his shirt sleeves. 'Straightened it out, liavo ye?' agked he, nodding to tho spokesman. The man nodded in return. "Yer sec," Eaid tho spokesman, with n hesitating and disappomted nir, "ef yer hadn't a-corrulled us witli sticking ter the evidence we might 'a' done bet ter, bnt accordin to that Antonio wasn't thar when tho murder was dono, an of ho weren t thar ho couldn t n dono it, an ef ho didn't do it, why then of course he's not guilty." Pitblado didn't daro to look at any body; he stared up nt the rafters, down at tho table, nowhoro in particular, nnd then turned half way toward tho pris oner. You kin go," said he at last, nud with great deliberation, "but don t stay around here too long." There was a dead pause, during which nobody moved. Jako bmltli exploded a singlo cuss word which he had held in for some timo past, and Blako's widow stood up, "Have you got through, judge," she asked. "Waal I s'pom so." "And there is nothing else to be done?' "I am afraid there aln t." "And lie's free to go?' "Y-a-s." Antonio Gueldo arose with an insolent grin and picked up lus hat. Tho baby crowed, for it saw the glit taring thing again. There was a sharp report Antonio pitched forward in a heap upon the floor and Blake s widow Btood with the pistol pressed to her breast. A line of thin blue smoke curled from the muule of the weapon and f onned a halo aronnd the ohild's flaxen head. Tlie glittering thing was quite near the little hands now, and they took it from the yielding grasp or the mother. Blake's widow.looked steadily at the figure on tlie floor it was quite motion less; then alio turned and went through the wide passage opened for her by the tilent crowd, holding the baby very ten derly, and -the baby carrying the pistol. Tlie olitltl laughed with delight; it hail got it its shining plaything again. Detroit ews. llsilnl Auliual.. A lady was showing little Zaidee some pictures of birds, among which was a nightingale.

Criminal court lawyers always like to have their cases on the tint two or three days of the term if possible. The reason is that the jurors iu many instances are fresh and green at the work of listening to evidence, and invariably show more sympathy for the persons on trial than they have after they have sat for a couple of weeks. Jurors in tho general sessions court are chosen to try cases for a month. Every terra there are always some who hare never been In the court before, while of course others hare had plenty of experience and are adamantine. So the young lawyer at the bssjinnlng of the month dwells on the sympathetic side of his case and resorts to all tricks, such as bringing the weeping wife into court, and tells the juries ot the terrible results of a term In state prison.
