I THE CH] By DONAI Copyright, 1910, by As: In the seat behind tho middle-aged woman and the girl with her sat Chevalier Darcy. Ho had been sitting there for two hours, and he had figured out that the woman was no lady. That is, she had not been born to the purple. She was just a woman trying to be a lady. He figured that tho girl was about nineteen, tho niece of tho other, and that she was frank and ingenuous and not trying to bo anything olse. Ills eyes had told him over and over again during those two hours that she was good to look upon. Chevalier Darcy looked to he thirty years old. Ho may have been ten years older. It was his business to iook tnirty and to size up people. For I half an hour he had seen that the ! girl had something on her mind (hat 1 she wanted to talk about. One would have thought the woman would have noticed It llrst, hut she didn't, llor thoughts were busy with other tilings. | Years before, when Joshua Flint | and his wife came to the city.

She thought that collision might have jarred the chevalier'B wallet out of his pocket and lost It. At his very first call she offered to become his banker. She put It In a way to spare nis proud reelings, and ho pocketed tho check and said he did not look for such fine consideration in crude America. They had already looked askance at him at the hotel, but that check saved tho day. For a fortnight Mrs. Flvnt had thoughts and dreams connected with herself and titles and castles. She was a chevalieress. She was the boss of a hundred servants. She was on | friendly terms with people of blue j blood. Then she became conscience- ' stricken. Thci ? was tliat poor girl Florence. She had premised to do the square thing by her, nn<l would it be doing it to beat her out of title and castles? Wasn't the chevalier already i showing by his actions that he was J falling in love with the pi? No. Old Josh Flynt had always been called a square man?even if he did divide with tiic alderman ?and his widow would uphold his reputation. Later on, of a lord or a count came her way, well? The aunt sought Miss Florence and , resigned the chevalier to her and asked no gratitude in return. Then came tho long-delayed confession. Florence was engaged to n i young man in Poughkcepsle. She ' didn't exactly know about his family er finances, but he had curly hair and ; black eyes and very white teeth and a tenor voice. She loved him, and she j would marry him, and she didn't care i two red cents for an old chevalier. As fi->r nnotlna II..,.

The chevalier would wait a week before committing suicide for love of Miss Ftyrejice. He wouldn't do it for any other person than-the aunt., lie j would do it for her because she had loaned him money until he could hear from Paris, and because he was obliged to ask another favor of the j same sort.

J IfflME f t - - " ^ ; ? T/Y/r T/7X/\i3'/?A/Y<?s THE TEXAS RANGERS, who have had a prominent part in trouble along our southwestern border, constitute a force that is more feared by miscreants than any other body of men that civilization has ever organized. They carry law and order to tlie re moto regions along the Kio Grande, where outlaws of two nations take refuge. They carry it into the backwoods, where feuds rage constantly, beside which those of Kentucky's mountains sink into insignificance. They carry it into populous cities. They carry it into- every nook and corner of that great state of Texas, the extent of which is such that they in? inuyieiiis 10 lace sucn an omer .states di'enm not of The Texas rangers are the most picturesque set of legalized fighting men in this country. They have no counterpart in the world. Only forty in number, they are equ:)) to almost anv cmereencv that mav.*ris? when it comes to putting to a tost real lighting qualities. The presence of one ranger upon a scene of disorder and threatened lawlessness is visually sufficient to quickly restore peace and uphold the dignity of the law. The ranger is there to do his duty, lie does it fearlessly. The rangers are picked men. every ono of them. They must he proved experts in marksmanship and at home in the saddle; they must be of good moral character, which means that they do not drink or gamble. When a vacancy in a company occurs the captain selects the. man to (ill it. "I can look into a man's eyes and tell whether he has pot the right kind of stuff in him to make a good ranger." Captain W. J. (Hill) Mc Donald, who saw many years in the servlVe! said the other day. "I never made a mistake in picking my men." .misi 01 km* rangers were lormer cowboys. When a man leaves the ranger servlc? ,ho usually ojiliof** room back to the, ranch or takes'apposition as pgaec officer in sqiuc. .^ounty or city. The official reports of the adjutant general's department of Texas show that during the period from' 1870 to ISSt Indians and Mexican thieves O(A1A Vii Q1Q I.A.wI o #-o ? ouwiu uv.oiin u?-?iu i?i tui i it'i i>,rni horses and 2",430 sliocp The maraiplf ers killed hundreds of citizens, burned many home# and' destroyed a vast amount of property.

In fact, these raids were soon turned into general robbery and muVder, i The conditions on 'the lowei* TUo (Srando border region began #to im-* provo as soon as Captain I>. H. McNolly and his company of rangoj-H : were sent down 'there to run down the outlaws. McNelly adopted tho policy of giving no quarter, lie asked none. It was a fight to tho death when lie and his men got within shooting distance of tho Mexican thieves. The Dion who won distinction In the , Texas rarigor service were tlie forerunners of the present era of peace, development and prosperity that the , stale is enjoying. Most of the many I rangers who won distinction for their J bravery and notable exploits In Iho performance of their duty are dead. | Some wore killed In the service, oth| ors succumbed to natural causes. A KSEIESfll ~ J r/? ; few of them are still alive and active. Hungers Carues, Lawrence, West and Craighead recently rode into a jungle that skirts the Rio Grande near its mouth. Mexican renegades wore hidden in tlie thickets and the rangers knew the deadly peril into which they rode. Despite Iho disadvantage under which they worked, the rangers rode into the thicket. They could dio but once and their business was to court death. A road had been cut through the jungle and following this the rang v.o ?viv iiimuiisucu. int: ouuiiws opened on thom at close range with shotguns and every man went down. T'arnes and Lawrence were killed and Craighead and West were wounded. Pablo Trevino was so indiscreet as to peji>p /or a moment from the thicket and Hanger C'arnes, whose right arm was broken and who was near death, shifted his sir-Bhooter to his left hand and got his man, then died. Sergeant W. J. I.. Sullivan, who has uv v-ii nuui 10 pieces so many nines that he is no longer able to chase outlaws, Is doorkeeper for the house side of the Texas legislature. He has the reputation of having been the best ranger sergeant that the force ever knew.
