Whether Asia's most famous treas

mystery to those who have dreamed OF
finding the precious relics of kings and
emperOrs hidden somewhere i'm the
ruins of the cities of central Asia. Re

TO her husband, who forgave her. He
took her child into the family and
moved to another neighborhood, so

was to take place, had not had ample
time in which to pick a team. He
finally consented to enter.
Our team was Lieut.. James Rosser,
Sergt. Benton James and Privates
Floyd Johnson and Frank NARROW.
The distance was the length of the
athletic field, which is 10 yards
(more or less). The teams lined up
with Lieut.. Rosser and Sergt. James
at the north end of the field and
Privates Johnson and NARROW at the
south end The multitudes who had
gathered to see the happenings were
silent, and every nerve was strained
upon the starter and runners, and
probably prayers were muttered as
the boys were about to start.
At the sound of the whistle the run
ners were off. Amid a cloud of dust
and amid the cheering of 1900 stu
dents, it was clearly seen that Lieut..
Rosser was leading. The same Ros-
ser who had turned many defeat in
to victory on the football field for
Phoenix High was now headed to-
ward his partner, Private Frank Mar
low, who was anxiously awaiting his
turn. In the twinkling of an eye,
Ross" as he is commonly called, chad
touched Marlows hand and Marlow
was leading the field nearing his part
ner, Sergeant Benton James, who was
awaiting his turn to do his share.
Sergt. James hand had been touched
by the speeding NARROW and Sergt.
James was now tearing down the field
like wild horse with the others close
on his heels. Touching Private John
sons hand who was stationed there
waiting for him, Private johnson was
off like a deer with swiftness seeming
to equal that of Rosser This last
sprint was close roce. In the center
of the field the racers were almost
neck and neck but with that courage
and determination which had won for
him the manual of arms competition
drill, and with tiger-like agility he
forged ahead of the field and finished
first amid the excitement of 1900
students.
1t was grand achievement for the
Colored boys of the Phoenix Union
High school, and it speaks well for
Lieut.. James Rosser, who himself is
a student.
The students and teachers of the
Colored department of the school are
proud of their boys, as are the Col
ored people of Phoenix in general.
