the dark cloud again settled DER his
senses and it was hours before the light
came into his soul
Deaths door is a mirror and the dy-
ing have good memories. When con-
seriousness returned the boys mind
went back to his home. He wondered
II all was well on the old farm, where
he and his mother and brother had
lived ia peace until the war with Spain
called him to the front He had let
ter in his pocket from home-he would
read IL again. But, alas! he could not
reach his pocket-both arms were dis
abled and in the inky darkness he
could not see.
How long since had he left home?
Three months only three months! And
now he lay dying in his young man
hood. He remembered the morning
that he left his home. The birds were
singing and nature was at her best.
The fields were clothed i'm green and
the brook softly murmured over the
pebbles at the bottom. He had donned
his new uniform, and he felt little
sharp pang as he left his home. He
remembered it all very we'll.
"Goodby, Bill" he had said to his
brother. "Take good care of mother"
Look out for Spanish bullets and
bring back machete," said Bill.
I'm off, mother"
"Goodby, my son. BE brave and
serve your country like man." Then
she embraced and kissed him, and the
parting was over.
The old house eat rubbed against him
and purred as il to.bid him Godspeed.

the lane, but with stern words his mas
ter drove him back. At the edge of

Eyes, Helen, and have come to say

"a warm pressure of hands, and thus he
left home.
Everything was so hushed and dark
now. Was the whole world dead?
Why was he lying helpless here? How
had it happened? Then he remember

field, up the hill and over the crest in
the face of a rain of Spanish bullets
The air hummed and whistled. From
the trenches and block houses the Maui
sers spit at them. Then the blow came
to him. 1t was terrible shock. 1t
seemed TO lift him from his feet and
double him up and pitch him forward; !

two more bullet wounds, and then un-
Now he was dying in the darkness.
How strange it all was! That dead Gu
black he looked, and how his |
eyes glared! There was tiny hole in
his forehead where life had leaped |
through. Some one was crying for wa

tell. The night was getting cold, and
the heavy dew made the tall grass sog-
gy. There were no stars to watch him.
Would nobody help him? Hank! That
was his dog bowling, and how loud it
was!
How weak and dizzy he felt.

growing dim.

ALOSr PETITION
FOR the Abolition or Relocation of

"a petition to the board of superYis-
ors for the removal of Block Al was
circulated and numerously signed
some time ago. It has been side
tracked some where, for the board has
not received it and the promoters CT
it do not know where it is.
Deputy United States Marshal Joe
Porterie was especially active in its
circulation among residents in the
southeastern part of town and
about Tempe. United States
court coming eli Mr.. P0rterie
gave the petition to another gentle
man interested in the removal of the
block and it was sent by him to Mesa
for signature. On its return it was
mailed to Chairman Priest of the
board Of supervisors, but Mr.. Priest
did not receive it.
Prosper Bordone. against whom the
petition was drawn, claims to have it
in his possession He says he paid
$500 for 1t but does not say who the
seller was.
Mr.. Poterie says he has been osten-
tatiously flashing some kind of
document, which ne says is the petit
ton and Mr. Porterie says in general
way II resembles LIE paper Win "A4cD
he was 90 long familiar He has not
been able to make an examination at
close range of the paper in NJ Bor--
done's possession.
1t is inconceivabIe that NJ. BordOne
would pay $500, or any other sum for
a document which could be easily
duplicated He could have no copy
right on it or in any way corner the
petition market. The appearance OF
this document in his possession con-
with the sudden drop
