Behind them rose the tremendous piles or

After the effendi had eaten he betook
himself to his chamber in search of much
needed rest. Ferende followed him, and.
sitting down upon the side of the bed,

But he pushed her from him, saying in
a querulous and disgusted tone:

And the hands that hold IL true.
'Tis far far cry from Lexington
To the isles Of the China
Ever the same We.
For the blood of the sires at Bunker Hill,
Through countless fierce campaigns,

In the depths of the cEildrens veins
And the heart and the eye support the hane
No matter what odds there be
Ever the iame. thy sons, o land,
Ever the same We.
Not a Valley Forge, nor a Wilderness;
Nor hail OF Cuban steep,
Can take one 5ot from our fearlessnese,
Who daily thy honor keep.

From the sign of the old pine tree
To the stars and stripes OF the Philippines

Fights his fathers fought
