THE BEGINNING OF THE END
The year $780, may say, marked the zenith
of the Spanish power though to the beginning
of the seventeenth century there was but little
decline. OF all Europe only nation dared
seriously to challenge its supremacy. But that
one did. An English captain ventured to 'singe
the King of Spain's beard" and to play havoc
with his argosies in the South Sea. Then came
the destruction of ,the Great Armada, the first
fatal blow at the world wide power. Thereafter
the fall steady. swift and hopeless. Nor

lied little shortly after noon, but towards
night ii was announced by the attending
physicians that he was growing rapidly
worse, ard that there was but slight hopes

growth. which has been developing for
some time. Colonel Fellows is in a high
fever, md is del:ricus at times. His heart

conscious. He cannot survive more than
hours.
