Boys Shrek Brings Aid.

By the time the police on the street
below had heard the thunder of the
collapse, the high voice of Metzel came
to their ears, yelling for help. Edward
Connolly, park employe, reached the
lad first Sharp bits of rock were
being forced into his legs and the
weight Of the hillside was crushing
him, but Metzel shook his head when
the man picked up a broken shovel
lying nearby and started to dig him
out.
There's three others in there" he
gasped please git them first. Please
git them"
They tried hard to git them" Police
and iremen and citizens dug frantically
into the loose earth. Ambulance sur
geons dropped their medicine kits and
grasped shoyels to help. Nicholas Nargi
was dragged out first. He appeared
dead but the pulmotors Of the rescue
squad famed the flicker of life until
it glowed again. Then Patsy Nesta's
body was dug out, and at last the res
Cuers came upon the form of Captain
Nargi, lying face downward, his mouth
still open in his last warning cry.
MetZel waited until the last Of the
bodies was brought out, then he broke
away from the doctor who was dress
ing his cuts and ran sobbing toward
80 East l53d Street, where all four
of the lads lived. Even a cavalryman
may need his mother pretty badly
sometimes.

Captain Nargi Is Dead.
Captain Nargi is dead, at thirteen
wears old. Patsy Nesta died with him
Patsy was twelve. When the roof OF
the cave suddenly closed down ike
huge mouth, crushing its occupants
Nicholas Nargi, eleven, was also caught
He was almost smothered before he
was dug out, and Joseph Metzel
twelve, was badly cut and bruised. His
cries were all that saved part Of the
bard from death.
Villa got through minding the baby
early yesterday morning. He and his
forces had planned an ambush long be-
fore Captain Nargi had brought back
the groceries TO his mother and had
summoned his troop. As the cavalry
wound their way about the mesa, they
were suddenly met with stones which
fell and yells that rose from all direc-
tins. Captain Nargi Immediately or
dered a retreat and withdrew his men
uninjured except for few stone
bruises, to the cave they had followed
in the hill long before.
Once there, they sat down in com
fort, TO await reinforcements or the
hour when irate maternal yells should
summon the bandits to dinner.

until it began to rain The captain in
sisted that it was fine place to stay
even then. although 4 stream Of muddy
water presently began to seep through
the ceiling. Villas shouts of defiance
delivered in shrill tones. had died away
during the shower When the rain lie.
up Captain Nargi sent some Of his
more rebellious troopers those who
had been soaked by the waterspout
out to scout. Only four boys remained
in the cave. Joe Metzel was nearest its
opening.
Presently there came a little shower
Of mud and stones. The captain shift
ed his position and looked out. Could
it be possible that the mouth of the
cave had been as To- as that?
Then Captain Raphael Nargi lived UP

u Gentleman.
"Cit outa here, youse k.ds!" he
screamed, pushing his younger brother
Cit outa herel The roof is comm in.

The roof came, and Captain Nargi
didn't say anything more. Beneath tons
of stone and dirt he and Patsy and his
brother Nicholas lay buried. The
mouth of the cave had caught Metzel
abou' the hips as he started to scram-
bic forth.
