Many deeds of bravery are record- | ed of the Rangers. At one time a band of Mexicans besieged the home | of one of the members of the band. Only his wife and daughter and him self were present to protect thelr prop. | erty and they considered themselves lost. They were in dismay, too, for another Ranger who was coming to ' meet the first, and were thinking desperately for a way to notify him of his danger. Suddenly he appeared in the clearing and boldly rode toward the house directly under the fire of the astonished Mexicans. In thelr amazement they falled to hit him and he reached the door in safety For hours he alded his friend in de. fending his wife and child until a rescuing party arrived. It is such feats of bravery that make the Rangers universally known and respected. They are a very old organization, having helped to butld the State of Texas, and often defend ed_its borderline.
