Zavier Lopez knew that his time was near
at hand.
The thing happened near his own homo.
His wife and all the children except little
Manuela were away. The child was at
work cooking the familys supper, when
the Mexican soldiers came.
Manuela gave a warning cry and ran
to her father when she saw them coming
far away. The old man thrust her aside
and called his men to him. She stood
at the door and watched.
There was a small band Of Mexicans,
a still smaller band Of Indians that
Lopez could muster. There, beside the
old chiefs settlement. before his very
door, while his own daughter looked on,
the battle was fought sharply to finish.
Two Indians fell dead at the first fire. A
few more vain shots-then the child saw
her father fall.
She did not scream, for Manuela has
never learned the utterance Of an emo
ton, you remember She ran to him and
put her little brown hand over the tiny
fountain of blood that was squirting out.
A Mexican soldier checked a shot that
was aimed In their direction.

With regard to the amount Of sleep re-

Now, viewed simply from q purely ma

Events moved % swiftly then that
when the child comes to tell her story we
shall find, no doubt. that she barely re-
members them. The Yaqui warriors who
were not killed were taken prisoners.
Women and children who had returned to
the settlement were taken along with
them.
Then again luck went against the old
chief. Just as the Mexicans were moving
off, leaving him. for dead. he revived. A
sturdy soldier turned back and took him.
He has been captive ever since. Death
would be q joy to him, for his pride is
broken by captive's life. No matter
how well his captors treat him, 1t makes
no difference. He longs only for escape
or death.
When General Torres took a fancy to
the little girl, Manuela, the old man was
pleased, for the child is his favorite. He

The interesting feature OF the election
was how great the vote OF Mayor Pat

would be over that cast for George II.
Swallow, the candidate OF the Republican
party. Two years ago. at the last city
election, Mayor Collins defeated Mayor
Thomas N. Hart the Republican nomi-
nee, by a plurality of over $1,000. Today
the Democrats declared and even wager
ed that Mayor Collins plurality over Mr..
Swallow would run as high as 1900. The
absence of all doubt as TO the reelection
OF Mayor Collins produced Republican
apathy.
The other interesting things about the
election were the questions whether the
for office endorsed by the
Good Government association and those
for the school committee. supported by
the Public School association, snould be
by the voters. The great con-
test OF the canvass had been the diffi-
oulties between the Public School asso-
citation and the Democratic party on the
subject Of candidates for the school
board
The cry Of the Public School association
has been that the schools should be kept
out OF politics. The Democrats, headed
by Mrs. Julia NJ. Duff, declare that every

school board will be elected.
