yesterday afternoon in awarding the contract for the work to the California Arizona Asphalt Construction company and designating Tarvia specifications No 9. Previously the commission had made a like award, but upon showing that the award had been premature, the city fathers rescinded their action. Yesterday despite the protest of those advocating other forms of paving. the commission repeated it's action. The Cnly discussion attending the award of the contract was relative to a hearing as to the wishes of the taxpayers in the Central avenue district. Mayor Young said he believed such q hearing should be held, but that it had been demonstrated that such hearings were not ordinarily attended by majority of those interested and were therefore of little value. Commissioner RicheY
 introduced the awarding resolution and
 it was adopted without dissenting vote
 Just before the award of the contract petitions were read asking that bithu- lithic be specified and that the width of the street be changed to 4S feet in stead ot B feet as indicated in the plans for the proposed improvement
 Plans for the paving of portions of Second avenue Fillmore and Mckinley streets introduced by City Engineer J. B. Girand. were approved. but no further action taken pending the ac- ceptance of plans for the paving of that portion of Second avenue connect ing Van Buren street with Fillmore street.
 Leave of absence for three days of next week was granted to City Clerk Frank Thomas
 There was discussion of . prOposi- tion to serve city water to the north ern portion of the Oakland addition. but no action was taken Adjournment was taken to one week from tomorrow the regular meeting day.
 Last evening Mayor Young an- nounced that he would call for q spe- i cial meeting for this afternoon at two o'clock for the purpose of arranging | for special registration stations during the day supplemental registration period beginning next Saturday The | call for this meeting vii include pro- vision for such other business as may
 come before the commission, which will | likely include the introduction of q resolution approving certificate of the
 primary election, the vote of which was
 canvassed yesterday and the figures
 of which were found to correspond
 exactly with those presented in The
 Republican the morning after the pri- mary election.

 "7'he prvate Secretary is an old play. English copyr.ghted, and was first presented m London by the famous actor, Sir Hcrtert BeerbOhm Tree.
 While it is somewhat of the slap stick variety, the play has a good story and is really funny.
 Douglas Cattermole. to gain his pri vate ends, masquerades as private secretary and accepts a position in an English country home owned by Mr. Marsland, uncle of his best friend. He finds he is expected to tutor two at tractive young ladies, not only in their studies, but in music. Knowing noth- ing of the latter, he resorts to some clever skirmishing to meet the situa- tion. Finally the real private secre tary arrives, whose coming Douglas has forestalled, thus adding more com plications and funny happenings. An old maid ChaperOne, who is interested

 In the end all is strengthened out. Douglas accomplishes his purpose and wins the daughter of the man in whose house he has carried on the deception.

 But yesterday, after the judge had finished his work in connection with the central committee, he departed for the north of the state. where, it is rumored. he will see how much of Judge Henry D. Ross thunder he can steal It is also rumored that Judge Duffy has pledges from COchise, Santa Cruz and Gila county. Yet, so far as he will admit himself, he is no candidate.

attracted no attention, Tor there were
many other young Indians who looked
just as they did. On their way the
young men stopped at the carpen-
ter shop, where the hammer strokes
had now ceased. John Cohee entered
and looked critically at the plain white
coffin which had just been finished. As
his form darkened the doorway, the car
penter looked up from his work and
started toward the visitor, but the youth
breast, and the other went back to his
work without wasting words. Soon the
two continued on their way. 1t wanted
but a quarter of an hour until sunset
when the door of the house opened and
the soldiers care out, three of them car
rying guns. Several officers and one or
two Indians were with them, and when
they spied the two young men standing
so still under the nearest tree, they
stepped towards them, knowing instinc-
lively that one of them was the con-
demned man. John Cohee turned to-
ward them and, as he did SO, one long
ray of sunshine fell full upon the leaf
on his breast, and it glimmered and
glistened like living thing. Each man
struck out after the soldiers who led the
way, and John Cohee, followed by his
companion, brought up the rear.
The procession filed down toward the
shop, the soldiers walking
briskly as if anxious to be rid of their
task.
In front of the shop there now stood
a wagon to which was hitched a small
team of Indian ponies. Inside the wagon
bed the white coffin cleaned. AS if by
common consent the man, after seeing
the wagon and coffin, turned down the
street in the direction of the little knoll
which had been occupied so shortly be-
'ore. And also, as if by prearrange-
nent, John Cohee climbed into the
wagon and sat upon his coffin while he
ode. Lewis James followed and kept
lis eyes upon the condemned man. Still
lie could scarcely believe his senses. The
hing now seemed to him like a night
mare, and he visioned himself perform
ng the actions which John Cohee did so
aturally,
The calmest and coolest of the process
ion was the condemned man sitting on
is coffin in the rattling wagon. Once
rowing tired of his position, he rose
nd sat on the other side with his face
the opposite direction. He seemed
n absorbed astronomer studying the
pavcns.
Now the road dipped suddenly, and
Irned abruptly into the thick woods

row and looked to the pruning OF their
guns. When the condemned man saw
this, he strobe the required length away
and very slowly faced the weapons, feel
ing the green leaf as he did so to make
sure that it covered the exact spot where
his heart now beat so strongly. The
town physician, white man, was to
apart from the soldiers. In his right
hand he held a snow white handkerchief,
which futtered now and then in the
gentle breeze.
John Cohee, standing so straight in
the green nook, over which the evening
shadows had crept, turned his gaze
toward the treetops tipped with gold,
and if one had been close enough, he
might have been heard to whisper to
himself, "Son of dog, but a Choctaw
still" The guns were poised now, and
the doctors right hand stretched forward
with the handkerchief. Overhead the
sky was rosy pink, as if blushing at the
things she was obliged to witness; in the
woods the little birds were beginning to
chirp sleepily and think of their dreams.
1t was sunset.
"One," cried the doctor, and the hand
kerchief trembled slightly in his fingers.
John Cohee turned his gaze little high
so as not to see the guns too clearly.
Drops of sweat stood out on his face
and he breathed deeply as if tasting the
last drop of some sweet and delectable
drink.
Lewis James stopped breathing at the
word. 1t was here the death he had
escaped. The horror was coming, now,
in one instant. Not muscle of his body
could he move, although he wanted more
than anything else to turn his head away
from the sight.
"Three."
The handkerchief futtered slowly to
the ground and the guns spit forth,
making the evening softness hideous
with their clamor. A startled bird
screamed and a black nighthawk dis
turbed from her nest, circled overhead
like some thing of evil omen. What had
once been John Cohee swayed slightly
for moment, and then pitched forward
on his face, and the green leaf was hid
den from sight. 1t was green no longer,
but red with blood
Looking on, Lewis James felt himself
suddenly sick. He wished for his littla
'ony that he might ride quickly through
he cleaning and get far away from the
hing before his eyes. As the men were
fitting the body he seemed to regain the
Use of his legs after they had been long
'aralyzed. He did not pause to speak to
nyone, but turned and plunged into the
darkness of the woods to his
ight. He did not wish to see the town,
or to hear the rattle of the wagon
heels as they bore the coffin and its
reight away He wanted to be at home,
nd to hear the welcome baying of his
ounds; to see the familiar things, and
} forget the nightmare which he had
lst lived through. So he rushed for
