THE MYSTERY OF AMBROSE PIERCE

There are tens of thousands or personal mysteries hidden in the big war One Of them has just come 10 light It concerns a whose is familiar through out the United States and who is considered by some critics to be the foremost literary that America has produced in half a century.
 Ambrose Berce disappeared two years ago. It was known that he had gone to Mexico either for literary material from love adventure. He had fought in the Civil War and was over 70 years old His life for generation had been that of free lance editor and critic waging the hlt with sham ani dishonesty particularly the field of literature No American writ CT ever upheld sterner and higher standars oC fokht so fearessy and independently for his dwn ideals or made so many enemies among the mediocre and time serving gentlemen Of literature business and politics
 Though prolific in criticism his ventures n.c the fields of original literature few and unprc- tentious Neye.theless, they have won high praise. Charming Pollock, of the big guns Of American crl- ticism perhaps the biggest declares that n Bierces W le volume of Civil War tales In the Midst Of Life he has produced classic that ranks above anything produced America during bis tmetat Bierce is. in fact the modern American literary genius par excei lence
 Well, this fierce old lion of literature disappeared 10 the relief of enemies and the grief Of a few warm friends. He have attached himself to one of the Mexican rebel leaders. Then the story spread that had been killed in battle Another y9r sion had it that he assassinated Relatives anG friends sought in vain for trace of him, The gov ernments aid enlisted last fall but diplomatic in quires brought enlightenment Bierce given up for dead.
 And now, out of a clear sky comes letter to his daughter at Bloomington. n It is from Major Bierce himself It informs his daughter that the aged author a stan officer in Lord Kitcheners army. and is ac lively engaged the British battle front in France
 So Doctor Osler Is challenged again. It's long leap for one man to make from Chanceorsvle and thc Wilderness the Yser and the Aisne spanning hali century and half the world. Perhaps Bierce will end he begVn-with sword in his hand If he survives heu in spite of his age he may give us a book inter preting this yyidy and mercilessy he inter preted the other. And that would be book!

Message to Dwight B. Heard Tells of General Improvement Throughout Country in EIimi- nation of Stock Disease.

PHOENIX, April 8..- To consider quarantine regulations growing out of the recent foot and mouth disease prevalent among cattle in eastern states. a meeting of the state live stock sanitary board will be held Mon day morning at 10 o'clock in the office of Secretary sam Bradner at the state house
 The commission win meet because Of -he uecissity Of fixing some regu- lations for the state of Arizona. New Mexico Colorado and Texas. Re quircments must be lived up to for the interchange of livestock between the four states without much trouble
 If possible, an amendment to the present restrictions will be passed so that grain for milling and feeding purposes can be brought in from states not affected with tue disease
 Secretary Braduer has written for opinions from the states of New Mexico. Colorado and Texas, so that a quarantine can be passed in con formity with that of those states
 "H will take some time to tell whether cattle exposed to the disease will break out" said Secretary Brad uer today, when asked about the re- port that the disease no longer exist ed in the east
 Though this region was never scri- ously threatened, stock growers of Ar izona will learn with satisfaction that the government is getting the upper hand of the dread foot and mouth dis ease A letter from H. II. Hicks, in- spector in charge of the Bureau of Animal Industry Co President Dwight B. Heard of the American National Livestock Association, says q am in receipt of bureau circular No. 576 of March 80 which brings the work up Co March 20. This shows four in fected herds which have not been killed; one each in Kentucky, New York Ohio and Pennsylvania Mir Hicks quotes from the circular While it is expected that isolated cases may appear for some time to como, 1t is hoped that soon the foot and mouth outbreak of 1914-15 will be a matter of history. Comparatively few cases have been discovered dur ing the past week and slaughter is practically completed for the present A few farms remain to be disinfected and a careful examination is still be- ing made of stock near infected cen ters"
 The figures show that between tbe time of the outbreak last October and March 20, there had been slaughtered throughout the country, 124141 ami mals That number Of animals does not however, represent the total loss 0ccasioned by the disease. The dam age to the quarantined states because ! of the disease and the interference with operations in the large stock yards cannot be easily estimated

chair beside him, that is the limit
and then some! Quitting me cold, at

caused his outburst:

]. H. G. GAINES.
Mr. Frank Durand, City
Durand drew a scratch-pad to him
and for the next five minutes scrubbed
industriously and viciously. He was
writing just the kind of letter we all
write occasionally. 1t bristled with
irony and sarcasm; it held Mr.. Gaines
sudden accession Of wisdom up to
ridicule; 1t called attention to the fact
that Mr.. Durand, under verbal agree
ment with MIR. Gaines, had contracted
for two regular street-car cards in
every street car in the city for a
month, to be used in exploiting the
value of Gaines Peerless Preserving
Jar; and it wound up with such a tor.
rid collection of remarks that it would
have brought Mr.. Gaines to Durand's
office with an officer of the law-had
the letter been mailed.
But though Durand was angry, he
was also in love, and with no less a
parsonage than Katherine Gaines
wherefore, in place of mailing the let
ter, he tore it up and dropped it into
the waste-basket. With Mrs Gaines
willing, with Katherine almost willing
and with Frank himself more than
willing, it would not do TO jeopardize
his chance to win the father over to
his side.
That thought brought him back tC
the blood-chilling fact that Frank Du
