A Message

~ EDGAR wnIroN COOLEY.
tcop,nshs. 1901, by Author. syndicate,

Under the blue Of the Cuban sky,
u a soldier lay, with a great Jagged
hole In his side and fever burning
in his veins. But in his eyes, fast
growing dim, the fire of battle still
fingered.
With painful effort he raised upon
one elbow and gazed up the hill at the
stars and stripes that were pushing up,
up, up, into the very jaws of death.
His ears caught the wild yell Of his
comrades, exultant and far of, and he
grabbed the hat from his head and
swung IL excitedly. Then he fell back,
exhausted, and lay quite still, listening
to the spasmodic volleys that told that
the battle was all but over.
Presently there came to him two
comrades. On an arm of each was
,fed cross and between them they bore
. litter. They gave him sup Of water
from . canteen. II revived his depart
Ing strength and he raised his head
slightly. His features were marked
with the lines Of agonizing pain, but
his lips had no complaint.
The FIRE in his eyes fiared up for an
instant as he gazed at the American
hsg floating above block house away
yonder on the hill.
"Hurrah!" he cried, feebly. "Hur---"
It was night at El Caney. Above,

ing dim in the gathering twilight.
In her hand was letter written on
military paper and bearing Cuban
postmark. Many of the sheets were
damp and the lines blurred with the
tears which still glistened in the wom-
ans eyes.
Presently her glance fell upon an OBJ
ject hanging on peg behind the door,
and sudden sob escaped her. II was
a boys cap, soiled and torn and faded.
Slowly she crossed the room and
took II in her hand. Then she sank into
chair and laid 1t in her lap and ca
ressed 1t with her fingers. smoothing

ing of the past.
So she sat while the twilight deep
ened into dusk and the dusk into dark
ness.
The war was over. In the heart Of
the great nation. which but recently
throbbed with The fire NJ vengeance
and of war, now pulsed the happiness
that is born of peace. From the fields
Of strife; from the camps of fever and
death, homeward marched the rem.
nant Of the army.
Warm was the handclasp of those at
home; bright was the gleam Of joy in
the eyes Of those who had loved and
feared and waited.

At The Theater.

Everything that has been said of
the Chicago Opera company in these
columns proved to be true. 1t is
doubtful If a finer lot of soloists ever
gathered on the stage. The singing
of the members of the company was
superb. Those who failed to attend
missed rare treat. The opera house
should have been packed. Many a
person here has gone to Cleveland
and paid more to hear worse singing.

ist, Miss Clara Dausch, was very good.
