THE STATEMENT OF THE ACCUSED

A New Year’s Tragedv In the Sierra Madre Foothills.

It was the day of the new year. I heard the mellow ring of old Juan’s horn lingering faint and sweet on the heavy scented air of afternoon, and the sheep on the foothills were scampering gayly away from the pathway of the herder and his broncho. I noticed that Jim was not as eager as once he had been to enter the cool and cavernous depths of the winding gorge. He had for some time been silent and. as it seemed to. me. embarrassed. ever since, indeed. 1 had welcomed him at the Mission San Gabriel, and now, I thought, he was almost unwilling to enter the familiar place, endeared as it was to both of us by crowding memories of overwhelming joy apd perfect happiness. 1 was always quick to comprehend, for Concha Ramirez has in her veins Castilian blood, and Jim’s thoughts, through my long association with him and my constant study of his moods, were almost as soon communicated to my' brain as given birth by his. And so, had I been less occupied with my delight at once more seeing him I loved. I might have been spared much of the pain that was to come. He was the same darling Jim as of old. His year's absence in the icebound east had served to pale his cheek a little, but in all else, except the ex change of the ranchero’s coarse clothing for the attire of the gentleman, he was Jim. my Jim, who would love me always and whom in return I loved as they say only Spanish women can. Ah, how often I have striven to picture while I prayed the pitying face of Jesu! But it was always Jim's—always. If I dreamed it was Jim who occupied my fancy, and in the morning when I gave thanks to the blessed Virgin for preserving me throughout the night I was grateful not that life was still vouchsafed to me, but that for yet another day I might love him who was my life. But at last as month followed month and I heard no word from him I began to fear, and when a woman, fears she doubts. It was a full year before a letter came, and when Padre Antonio read the sentence which told me he was in Los Angeles and would come to the mission the following day I put aside my evil thoughts and was overcome with delight. And now he was by my side! Together we were treading the familiar places. Together we were about to call up the happy past and make it real once more. We seated ourselves upon the moss grown ledge where so often we, had spoken words of’love, and again I felt his arms around me, again bis lips pressed mine; Yet it was not the same —this kiss. There was no sweet violence. It was as if the frost of the east had numbed his heart as it had numbed his body. I thought to warm him with the fervor of my love and so drew closer. Nombre de dios!, What was this? He shrank away! I kissed him once again. He repulsed the! But I contained myself.’ I did not strike him. Then he put on a serious air an.l said: - . “Concha, forgive me. It is my father. He has persuaded me. I have promised to marry an American girl, a girl of the gringo nation. As I say. I consented.” Mark this—l did not interrupt him. I only looked. Well, he went on: “I thought I could do it I thought I could forget you,' so I promised. But now I retract that promise. I cannot live without you.” I said nothing. He embraced me and caressed me, and I accepted his caresses and embraces. it grew dark. Above the pines sang the dirge of day. The brook hastened by to enjoy the last warm smile of the departing sun. Far up the canyon a mocking bird was rehearsing the vesper hymn of nature. He lay in my arms asleep, be who had been faithless to me. It is true he was faithless but in thought, in impulse. Nevertheless he had been faithless. It is the unpardonable sin. It was a keen knife, and as I drew it from my bosom it caught the rays of the rising moon. Slowly, as I gazed, they grew less and less bright Passed a cloud across the heavens? No, not so; the moon was brilliant overhead. It was the steel that was dulled. The moisture of death had covered it He slyieked as I plunged the blade into his breast. “Concha!” he cried. His eyes opened, and when they closed my image was painted upon each of them—not the gringo woman’s, you see. Influenced by an unaccountable impulse, I threw myself upon him. I kissed his lips, his cheeks, his brow, his eyelids. “Concha!” he whispered. It was my name—his last word. But he was yet alive; he breathed, though faintly. I leaned over and spoke softly in his ear. He had ceased to breathe. Carefully I bathed his wound with, the icy water of the brook, which was chattering like old Mother Lugo at a fiesta: stanched the blood with a piece of my best red petticoat, which I had put • , in honor of his coming, and made o the moss a pillow for his head. Am then for the last time I kissed him. Just as Our lips met the bells of the mission began to toll the funeral knell When I passed the church I saw the mission squirreli on the wall, all sitting erect as a major domo at a rodeo. They did not know of the other bod’’ lying uncoffined in the canyon. -

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Abe Attell, Most Remarkable Featherweight Champion.

When it comes to gathering the coin of the realm Abe Attell, the featherweight champion, is the master harvester. Two or three battles a week are merely exercise for the clever Able. And no fighter is too tough, no bit too small, to be overlooked or passed up by the boxing business man. Attell's record since the outset of the present boxing season attests this fact In the last three months the featherweight champion has fought fifteen battles of varying lengths. In no contest was Abie extended. His most recent one was with Pal Moore, the crack Philadelphia lightweight, in New York. Moore was only a play toy on Attell’s hands, and the latter could have put him out at any time he chose. He will meet his master some day; but, judging by his present grand form, it is many years off. AttelJ is the last of the old time champions to remain, r ' Canadian Hockey Rules Changed. A most radical change has been made in the Canadian hockey rules. It appears as though the legislators of the ice game had taken a lesson from the shifts in the American football rules. The number of periods has been lengthened from two to three. This is one less than the division made of football playing time. Canadian teams will play three twenty-minute periods instead of two thirty-minute sessions, as was the case last year. There will be ten minute intermissions instead of five, as was the case last season, t The name of the new organization is the National Hockey Association of Canada. The number of clubs was fixed at seven and the salarj’ limit fixed at $5,000. The Canadian Athletic club and Quebec take over the franchises of Harleybury and Cobalt. Big Walking Match Arranged. E. J. Webb, the English champion walkist, has been matched against George Goulding, the Canadian and holder of the world’s records for one mile and seven miles, the event to be held in Toronto the latter part of December. In a match a couple of months ago at one and three miles Gould-Ing won both contests, but there are those who claim that the seven miles is Webb’s best distance, and they look for a victory for the English champion. Last spring Webb won the English seven mile title in 52 minutes 37 seconds, and he earned the gold medal for the two miles in 13 minutes 56 3-5 seconds In the English championship last July. Boxing Club For London. If the present plans of Hugh D. McIntosh and Jimmy Britt do not go astray the English sporting public and particularly those living in London will have an opportunity to join an athletic organization the like of which does not exist in the British isles. It is to be modeled on the lines of the New York Athletic club, Olympic club of San Francisco and Chicago Athletic association, and aside from the usual features for the furtherance of sport the art of self defense will be more than a side Jssue. ■ Football Fatalities Lessened. Statistics of baseball fatalities show twenty-one for the year, which is Within seven of the number of the football deaths recorded last year. Football deaths for this season are proportionately far below the record for 1909. British Footbait Players Wear Numbers Bristol Rugby players this season are wearing numbered jerseys. These correspond to the, numbers set against their names upon the cards, so the spectators can readily identify the men.

NEW “CHRISTMAS CAROL.”

Not by Charles Dickens, but an Incipient Parody on His Famous Story. Barley was dead to beginwith. He was as dead as u doornail, which must be going some in the dead line, as people have been usings a doornail as a simile of death for several centuries. But Smpodge was alive and kicking. Smoodge kicked particularly against Christmas presents. He didn’t believe in Christmas presents. Barley, his old partner, dead these seven years, hadn’t believed In Christmas presents either. When Smoodge shut up his warehouse and went home on Christmas eve—he lived in lodgings that bad been Barley’s—the doornail assumed an expression which he had never noted before. The head of that dead doornail resolved itself into the head of B:irl<<y< “Hey. Jacob; I thought you were dead!" cried Smoodge. “So 1 am. Ebenezer,” replied the vii ilized dooiuaii. "but I've come back t ; v aru you that you Will be visited midnight by three ghosts, one after li e* flier. So long. Eb!” r.m hw’s ghost again became a dead d< : tmil. Smoodgewent to bed and I'romptly at midnight was awakened 1 v au apparition. It was the first of tlie three spirits. It seemed to crawl out from under his bed. It danced on the footboard of the bed. “1 am the Ghost of Christmas Present Past,” said the spirit. “You look to me like one of those Slippers my niece gave me last year/’ said Smoodge. > “YoU win,” said the ghost and vanished. Presently the second spirit arrived, doing a inerry ddnee over the wash stand. “You look to me like another slipper,”! said Smoodge. “I am the Ghost of Christmas Present Present.” said the spirit. “Ha, I see!” said Srnoodge. “You’re one of t&e slippers my niece Is going to give me this year.” Whereat Spirit No. 2 smiled and vamoosed. In a jiffy Jhe third of the promised spirits came in. It jumped upon the bed and slapped Smoodge In the face. “I'm on.” said Smoodge; “you’re another slipper.” - “I am the Ghost o' Christmas Present Future,” said the spirit sepulchralJy. “Yes, I know,” remarked Smoodge. *My niece will present you and your mate to me next Christmas. Because I’m an old man she never sends me anything but slippers. But these ghostly visits have taught me a lesson. Hereafter* I’ll ne a better man. I'll give my niece a Chantecler hat instead of the usual pair of gloves, and maybe next time she'll give me a silk topper.” T, SAPP.

HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE

Hanging Cupboard For Use In the Cellar.

A useful device, known as the bang* Ing cellar cupboard, can lie made from an ordinary store box, a pair of binges andjtwo small pieces of fly screen, the entire cost not exceeding GO cents. Two sides of the box are covered with netting, one side being in the form of a door. Some of the boards removed from the boy are used to form the frame of the door, while the remainder will form the shelf and supportsWhen completed the outfit is suspended to the joists at a convenient place in the cellar. This is an improvement over the old form of hanging shelves and may be used for the storage of cooked meats and foods. It has certain advantages even where an Icebox is maintained. Where any ipeat or vegetable has been cooked and it is desirable to let it stand to cool, it may be safely placed in the hanging cupboard in the cellar without fear of molestation by vermin, and at the same time all steam and odors are given an opportunity to escape.

Green Tomato Mincemeat. Chop up four quarts green tomatoes, drain off the juice, cover with cold water and scald thirty minutes. Drain well, then add two pounds brown sugar, one pound seeded raisins, onehalf pound candied orange or lemon peel, one-half pound chopped suet, onehalf cupful cider vinegar, one tablespoonful salt. Stir all together anti cook till thick. When cold add one tea- . spoonful cinnamon, one teaspoonfui ground cloves, one teaspoonfui nutmeg. Keep in stone jar. When making the pies after filling with the mince. spreads one thinly sliced apple over each pie before putting on top crust. These pies taste very much nicer when eaten warm.

To Hang a Skirt. Sew on belt and then put on skirt. Use a y ardstick and place the end on the floor aud mark with chalk at the top of yardstick about every two inches all around the hips. This mark is just thirty-six inches from the floor and the extra hip length is already allowed. Lay skirt on table and subtract as many inches from this length as you want it from the floor. If two inches mark the skirt thirty-four Inches in length from the measure, and your skirt will be perfectly Teven, and brie can do this nearly alone.
