Alfred Lawrence listens, his
weary eyes Frightening. For there
is nothing else. nothing but the
strains of old Dixie" song of the
Southland, that can bring back
to him even a shadow of his past.
"Cinnamon seeds and sandy

Lawrence is thinking hard. For
a few. seconds he sits erect, the
lines of his face hardened In in

to remember. Then his face soft

Called upon to suffer as few
men suffer, strange, sad, story
is the life of Alfred Lawrence. In
the short space of 6 months, this
artist and musician, who is 35
years old, but looks so, lost his
sweetheart and six close relatives
by death. This was in 1907. and
in December of 1908 the weight
of his sorrow wrecked his health
This is all he can remember. He
suffered shock, and was taken
to a hospital at Rock Springs

MARKETS WELL
STOCKED With
FRUIT

The markets are we'll supplied
today with fruit of every kind
owing to the fact that several car
loads arrived yesterday after be-
ing delayed for one day. The
shipments consisted chiefly of
fruit from California.
A large amount of sweet corn
from North Yakima also arrived
and was soon disposed of to the
dealers. 1t Is in great demand,
as there has been very little On
the markets this season. Peaches
are quite plentiful again and
Icrabapples are moving fast.
Some excellent sweet potatoes
were included in yesterdays con-
signments and they are selling fast
at fancy prices. Eggs are quoted
at 34c and are expected to advance
within the next week.

place from the depot.
1t was but an idle dream. No
one knew him, or his relatives.
A few days ago he came to San
Diego. He was without funds,
but Mr.. and Mrs. Hall. managers
of a hotel, have taken up his
cause, and are trying to help him
recover his memory and thus
unite him with his dear ones.
He tells them that his father
was a lawyer, but where, he can
not remember. He says he can
recall his mothers sweet and gen.
tie face, and somewhere, he be-
lieves. she is waiting for him to
come home.
When not engaged in roaming
the streets, or playing the piano,
Lawrence paints strange, weird
creations In water colors. He
loves the flowers and the birds.
and wants a chance to work in
some garden for his board and
room, and a little sack of tobacco
