On Sunday afternoon Dick strolled
across the meadows beyond the town.
He had grown to love the swelling
slope that stretched up from the river
to the mining sheds. For the first time
he was beginning to think that his
fathers taunt at the leader of 'cotil-
Ions" was to be productive of good;
that, combined with Alice Upham's re-
fusal, the taunt had forced him to see
life with broader view.
1t was the mines that had worked
the change, the mines and Marian!
Considering that she was a miners or
phan, Richard Houston gave a large
amount of his thought to Marian. Con-
sidering that she worked a bit for her
board" with Mrs. Lisbon. the miners
wife with whom Dick boarded. Dick
was having bad lapses of the Houston
pride. Still, as Dick said to himself,
there was not much danger of mans
making a fool of himself over a girl Of
sixteen.
On this particular Sunday, after a
week when the miners pick had been
particularly distasteful to him, Dick
had asked Marian to walk with him.
At first she had hesitated; then she
had refused, looking up into his face
with a little smile that, even though
she was only a child he had come to
watch and work fora smile that curl
ed delicate, deep red lips back over
perfect teeth, a smile that lightened
up the wistful little face to dazzling
loneliness. AS she slipped from the
room Dick watched the 1.-the figure and
the wonderful braid of hair that swept
her back.
eff she were five years older But
the sentence remained unfinished as
he filled his pipe and started on his
solitary tramp. He walked for hours

and it was late twilight when he again
crossed the meadows near the mines
1t was a lonely spot, SO Dick was sur
prised as he heard voice:
"Oh, Mr.. Houston"

''Oh, 1 am so glad! Mrs. Lisbon and
i have been worrying about YOU
Then, walking beside him with dis.
tractingly confiding air: Ever since
you and Jim Lisbon took such stand
against the strike some of the toughs
down at the end of the village have
been making threats. Mrs. Lisbon
went to find Jim, and / got to worry
ing and came out to find you"
STEADY, now, steady" said Dick to
himself. Remember that she is moth

aloud: "Well, now, that is mighty good
OF you, but there isn't bit Of danger

They were enveloped in an unbreath-
able cloud of dust. There was dull,

"Are you hurtY' asked Dick.
I'll think not"
Dick was now on his feet and pulled
the girl up beside him. Then he took
out his match safe and scratched three
or four matches in rapid succession
They were in pit formed by the
sinking Of the meadow into mining
level that had run too close to the sur
face. The pit was but half dozen
feet wide, but it was many times that
to the field above. Dick dropped the
match he held. II won't light any
more for awhile. We may need them
later"
Lets call" said Marian.
Dick gave a few lusty shouts, but
silence seemed deeper than ever as he
paused. A small hand crept into his
and his fingers closed warmly about 1t

ROOF LEAKED.

Ellsworth & Co. were greatly incon- venienced Tuesday afternoon by the rain leaking through their roof. Al though little damage was done to their stock. they were kept busy through most of the storm and for long time afterward. moving their goods from place to place and covering it with tarpaulins and anything else that would shed water. The company has been busy for some time raising the roof of the building and putting on a new ceiling and in doing so. damaged the roofing so that it would not keep out the unusual rain of yesterday.

TEMPE
TRAINING SCHOOL CLOSES.
An Interesting Program Well Render
 ed Yesterday Morning.

The closing exercises of the Normal Training School were held yesterday forenoon and attended by an unusual iy large and representative gathering of parents. relatives and friends of the graduates and members Of the lower grades of the institution. The large assembly room where the exercises were held. had been fitted with a stage in the west division or the room and was appropriately decorated. The room which has a large seating capac- ity, was entirely filled. The program was an excellent one and carried out without 9 hitch and in manner that reflects much credit upon those par ticipatins as well as the teachers of the training school. under whose di- rection and supervision it was given.

The operetta, "The Toy Shop" by the primary children, was a very en- joyabIe feature of the program; all were in costume which added much to the success of the number. Act five of the Merchant of Venice was pre- sente. by the members of the Eighth Grade 'n manner that showed plain lv they were familiar with the matter in hand IL was especially appropriate as il was directly in line with certain features of the years work in that grade. The other numbers on the pro gram were equally as well presented. and the whole was much enjoyed and appreciated by the audience.
 Dr. R. H. H. f5Iome ana Miss Emma Tausett. director of the Training school and critic teacher of the seventh and eighth grades. respectively. were re- 'cipiants of handsome presents. the former of a hand hammered brass jar diniere and the latter two pieces of cut glass.
 Diplomas were granted a class or twenty graduates from the Sth grade. and were presented by Dr. Blome. These graduates are now eligible to take up the work of the first year in the Normal next fall. and almost without exception il is their intention 10 do so.
 The exercises yesterday morning marked the close of the most success ful year the training school has yet experienced. both in point of attend ance and results accomplished. The attendance was not only large. but very regular IL is worthy of note that fine registration for the ensuing year is almost complete and practically the only pupils who have attended the school this winter and who will not be there when it opens again in the fall are those who graduated yesterday and who will leave town during the vacation permanently. As an example of the grade of work done. the follow ing is pertinent. Lester and Salome
 Hunt. who attended the training school six months the past term. returned to their home in Minneapolis a few months ago. Their work here had been so satisfactory that upon resuming work in their home school, both were promoted.
 The members of the graduating class represented not only Tempe and vicinity but the following other towns of the territory: Dudleyville. Nam moth. Pinedell. Globe and Kingman. Previous tO and after the exercises. the visitors were shown through the building and the work Of the various grades inspected. A quantity Of hand work, sewing crochet. etc. done by the tth and Sth grades was the subject of much favorable comment. It was done under the supervision of Miss Alice Merritt. one of the senior teachers.

age that southside farmers incurred by the rain. wind and, hail of Tuesday af- ternoon. No one seems willing to ap- proximate in dollars and cents. just the amount of damage. but one indi- Vidual rancher was heard to remark that the joss to him was no less than n thousand dollars. The greatest dam age occurred in the grain crop where the grain was as yet uncut but stand ing. South of town some hail fell. and this combined with the heavy wind and rain beat the grain down to the ground so that in certain cases 1t will be impossible to gather il with a head CT or binder Lots of grain WAS bunch cd in the stack or shock. and this was more or less damaged. 4 good many had grain sacked in the field that had just been threshed and had not Ecen hauled to the warehouse. IL is said however. that if there is no more rain. il will be little injured All thre Shers were of course obliged to shut down, though some of them ex- pect to remain operating today 1T there is no further rain.
 Up tO yesterday afternoon there had been no rise in the river and reports from further up the stream. indicated that there would be little if any in- crease.

JOE PETERSON NOT EXPECTED
 TO LIVE,

Joe Peterson. who has been quite sick for several days, has been grow
 ing worse in the last few hours and is now not expected to live. MT. Peter son returned from the K. of P con- vention at Kingman two weeks ago. not feeling well and soon after was compelled to take to his bed. It was thought at first that he was only suf- fering from light attack of la grippe but soon erysipelas set in and he steadily grew worse. Several doctors were called in yesterday afternoon to see what they could do to relieve him. IL is thought unless there is a change for the better soon he cannot live.

MEAT MARKET CHANGES HANDS.

Ruse & Gibbons have sold the Pio- neer Meat Market to Henry Davis and will give possession the first of June.
 The sale was made on account of the i'll health of MT. Gibbons and the de- sire of MT. Ruse to quit the business for a rest. Ruse and Gibbons have not yet decided what they wll do. but MT. Gibbons will probably go to the coast for the summer. Mir Davis is a well known cattleman of Lehi. and he will undoubtedly get his share of the meat business of Mesa. The retiring firm wishes 10 thank the public for it's lib- eral patronage in the past years and to heartily recommend the new firm to its old customers.

MRS. WRIGHT STILL IMPROVING.

Mrs. Eva Wright is still improving and is now practically out of danger. unless some new complication sets in.
 It is thought that there will be no serious after effects from her inury. She has her right mind and is not paralyZed as it was at first thought. Dr. Palmer. who performed the op- eiation of removing the pieces of broken skull from the brain and caring for the injury. deserves a great deal of credit for his remarkable work and has proved that Mesa has one of the most competent surgeons in the south west.

MESA
STORM DOES SOME DAMAGE.

The heavy rain which fell yesterday did considerable damage to hay and grain in this part of the valley and the hall storm. which was quite heavy here. knocked off quite a good deal of the green fruit. Such heavy storm is so unusual at this time of the year. that it caught the farmers with much hay down which will be practically spoiled. Southeast of town the wind blew down considerable grain, but most of it Is green enough to rise again.
 Many small chickens and turkeys were also lost. Mrs. Mcqueen, it is reported, lost something like fifty small turkeys.
