alcoholic ciHhosis but since prohibition
would neither increase nor decrease the
non-alcoholic type, it may be assumed
that the same number occurs now as be-
fore prohibition. The gross cirrhoSis death
rate of the Metropolitan policy holders
shows fall of over one-half accompany
ing war restriction and national prohibi-
ton and little change after that event. If
the figures are corrected by subtracting
four deaths per 100000 policy holders, for
each year, to eliminate the non-alcoholic
deaths, the result is fall of three-fourths
in the rate and this has been maintained
up to the present.

IN MEMORIUM
JAMES GARRETT


For many a year has he rOamed
the range
On his favorite mount, in the past,
And with his love of the great out
doors
He enjoyed his life to the last.
A man that loved all that nature
gave
True and loyal to all in the land,
Always the one to love and help
his friend
And put forth his helping hand.
He loved his home and dear ones
there
With proud devotion he served
them all,
He was always ready to willingly
act
With Council and help to every
call.
He loved to have his friends around
him
AS the evening shadows fell,
And have them sit by his fireside
light,
To spin the yarns they had to tell.
He has passed on now to the Gread
Roundup
And passed over the River of Strife,
Calamity he will ride in the Great
Beyond
To meet his Master in the Heaven
ly life.
We who loved him apd knew him
best
Will in sorrow miss his smiling face,
And as the days and years go on
for us,
We will never find one to take his
place.

1t was the same day in the list of
visitors in the paper who we're ex-
pected at the Palace Hotel Caux for
Christmas that Julie saw Giles Chit
tenham's name.
She was glancing down the list with
out much interest, wondering if any
one she had known in England might
by chance be mentioned there, when
suddenly his name seemed to leap out
at her in letters of fire.
"Mr. Giles Chittenham and his
iancee Miss Beatrice Neale-"
There followed little chatty para
graph about them-but Julie read no
more. She stood with the paper
clutched in her hands,. cold to the lips.
He had forgotten her so soon-he
was to be married to another woman.

him.
They trampled on in a silence which
Chittenham broke at last to ask
curtly:
rs it ever possible to find any
one who gets lost on such a night?"
'They have been found-often-"
"Alive?"
Adolph did not answer this, and
Giles dared not press the question.
1t was not until early morning that
the snow ceased falling. 1t was get
ting light then-the faint outline of the
mountains began to stand out against
the darkness as if drawn by a ghost1y
hand.
Chittenham was nearly worn out,
but he refused to go back, or to rest
although the others often urged him
to do so.
Further on there is an Inn wfers
he can rest-the people who keep the
inn are friends of mine," Adolph said
But it was half an hour before they
reached it-a small, unpretentious
little building of wood, standing back
from the roadway and half hidden by
great drifts of snow.
Adolph tramped up to the door and
knocked; there were lights in several
of the windows, and the door was
opened almost Immediately, to admit
the men into the warmth, stamping
the caked snow and ice from their
boots.
Chittenham dropped on to the near
est bench. 1t was not fatigue SO much
as despair that had beaten him.
Like man in dream he heard
Adolph calling for brandy and hot
coffee. He leaned back and closed his
eyes. Everything seemed whirling
about him; it was only the rough but
kindly touch of Adolph's hand on his
shoulder that reused him.
"Mademoiselle is herewith my
friends" he said.
"Herel" Chittenham stared up at
the mans kindly face with dazed, un-
believing eyes. Here! Oh, for
Gods sake, if it is not true -"
'It is quite true-they found her
along the road last night-in the
snow. She was lost-the poor lady |!
They brought her here and put her to
bed, but she is i'll. -"
Chittenham staggered to his feet.
'Let me see her-let me be sure -"
He followed the daughter of the
house up the narrow, creaking wooden
stairs. There was a shaded lamp
burning on a bedside table, and its
light fell full on her face which was
half turned from him.
Chittenham gave one glance
Julie! Oh, thank God!"
He bent his head and pressed his
lips to her hand again and again,
kissing her fingers, and wrist, and
soft warm palm, till suddenly she
stirred restlessly and turned.
For a moment she lay quite still,
staring up at him with far-away,
dreaming eyes, then suddenly the tears
welled up into them, and her lips
quivered as she said in a voice all
broken with sobbing:
"Oh, you belong to me-you belong
to me"
"Always-always :"
She began to cry weakly.
"You were so long coming to me
! 1 thought you didn't care any more"
Julie" His voice broke; he
slipped an arm beneath her head,
drawing it to rest against him.
She drew back a little, the tears
wet on her face, her voice broken with
pitiful sobbing as she asked once
more:
"Oh, do you still belong to me?"
and Chittenham answered again
as he bent to find her lips Always,
always :. always"

BIN had often said bitterly that no
man could be faithful and Julie had
not believed her. Well, she believed
her now-and such tide of hatred
and despair rose in her heart that she
was afraid.
Three times Giles had struck at her
three times he had made her suffer
beyond all endurance, and now, she
would suffer no more. She put on
her thick boots and her warmest coat
and went out. At the front door she
met the woman who kept the house.
"You are going out?" she asked !;
she glanced up at the sky. II should
not go far. There is more snow to
come, much more snow"
"I am not going far" Julie said and
hurried on.
The woman closed the door and
went back to her warm kitchen. She
told her husband who was sitting
smoking his pipe by the, stove, that it
was a good thing Miss Langdon was
leaving-not that she wished her to
go for she liked her we'll enough, but
because now she could get three times
as much money for her room. There
was a knock at the front door, and she
broke off ir what she was saying to
see who the visitor might be.
A tall man in big overcoat stood
there-he asked for Miss Langdon.
He spoke eagerly as if with great
excitement.
"Shc has but a moment gone out
if Monsieur would put himself to the
great trouble of coming in to wait"
II will certainly wait"
1t had begun to snow afresh, and the
shoulders of Chittenham's coat were
white as he stepped into the little
hallway.
He had been visiting some people
in London whose daughter had come
home for the Christmas holidays from
school in Switzerland. She had been
showing amateur photographs of her
school friends, and amongst them was
one of Julie.
Giles had been bored by her chatter,
and had pushed the photographs aside
when she pressed one more upon his
notice.
That's Miss Langdon, who comes
to teach the Swiss girls English. She's
a darling. {"
And he had looked down into jules
face. -.
And now he was herein a few mo-
ments he would be with her, and hold
ing her in his arms. He walked over
to the window and stood looking out.
How long would she be? Every
moment seemed an eternity.
"I will wait here till Miss Langdon
comes in," Giles said obstinately.
But at ten o'clock she had still not
returned.
Giles went to the front door and
looked out, followed by Adolph.
The snow was falling so thickly
that one could hardly see yard
ahead; there was deep menace in the
unbrol1en silence.
Chittenham looked at the man be-
side him..
"Well?" he said sharply, struck by
something in Adolph's eyes.
1T would be good now to look for
Mademoiselle," Adolph said. Il have
friends-good fellows all. If Mon
sieur wishes it"
LET us start at once" Giles broke
in.
He was afraid of the fear in his
heart; he was conscious of nothing
but despair when an hour later he was
stumbling along through the binding,
clogging snow with Adolph and half a
dozen other men.
The lanterns they carried shed
weird, dancing shadows on the white
ness of their feet; the fakes whirled
in their faces half choking them. It
was as if all the human forces had
ranged themselves as enemies against

from DR.. r. w. Noble. who ad-
vances the theory that the lost
city was the home Of Uncle Til
ly". q man who apparently spent
his time as a beach comber on n
island back before the Civil War.
This theory does not fit into the
facts OF the lost city" as Uncle
lilly apparently had only one
building, a small shack nea the
southern tip of Padre Island, while
the lost city" was a community
covering a hal mile OF ground. and
including fifteen buildings, a black
smith shop. corrals. etc.
Another theory OF DR.. Noble Is
the site Is the old camp Of the
Carancahua Indians. but this
theory does not fit into Alexander
Singers story Of the situation.
These are, apparently, two theories
which do not fit into the others.
DR.. Noble cites from McCulloch's
Texas Rangers in telling about the
end of the Carancahuas. whom
this history paints as settling on
the island and resignedly waiting
for their fate. The story Of the
C~arancahuas as told 1y Indian
Tom the last Of the race, to the
Singers apparently fits better into
Indian psychology.
There have been n dozen other
theories about the lost city,, but II
is very likely that they are about
persons who lived at the camp for
a while. OF who built a hut az some
other spot on the island
One of these is about a man
named Lyme. who settled on the
island In 1860, and whose sons now
live at Beeville and George West.
John Champion OF Brownsville
says the settlement IA known as
Santa Cruz. and said among the
| people who lived there during the
time he was at Port Isabel, fifty or
more years ago, were Mrs. Elizabeth
Simmons. her daughters. Betsy and
! Louise, and a son. Pete: Theodore
! Holland and his mother. Mrs.
Margaret Holland, and William
Wendt. who were engaged In cat
tie raising. and who lived at Santa
Cruz in the early seventies.
These people all moved TO Port
Isabel when the narrow auge
railroad was built from that city
to Brownsville In 1872. and estab-
lished a dairy at Port Isabel, MIR
4 Champion said. They swan their
cattle across the Laguna Madre, he
said.
Soldiers Tome
Mr.. Champion said a large force
OF Federal soldiers camped at the
site during the Civil War. which
accounts for the many swords anc
other army relics found there.
After everybody had left the old
city except William Wendt. ajor
1 Richard z. Halter, u. S. engineer
with the geodetir survey. camped
at the site with his wife and chill
making a survey of the island
Champion said.
He said Santa Cruz appeared on
J charts used by navigators IN those
days.
These theories and others ap-
parently are correct. because the
old settlement unquestionably ex-
listed from 1927 until probably thu
latter part Of the century. Mr.
Champion says one old building
stood the ravages Of tide and
time. and was used by occasional
campers years after the city wa:
abandoned.
1t was by a strange coincidenc;
that Col. Sam "A. Robertson In be-
ginning a development on Padre
Island four years ago constructet
a hotel not a mile from the site o
the old city OF Santa Cruz, hu
never knew that II was there.
He later moved this hotel.

which theory has been proved or
rect.
There also was a theory that 1t
was the lost city Of Santa Cruz.
and since the interview of Alex
ander Singer the fact has been
fairly definitely established that
the settlement was both Santa
Cruz and the Singer estate, and
was established in 1927.
Another theory. advanced by Ra-
fael Cowan Of Brownsville. whose
p~redecesscis lived at Port Isabel
for a hundred years, was that the
settlement was Los Tres Cor-aleS-
ranch, established in the early sew
entities or late sixties BY the King
and Kennedy estate. as a ranch.
Cowan said the descendants OF
Juan Torres. who was in charge OF
the ranch. still live IN the Valley,
and talked TO him about the ranch.
He said the last traces OF the
buildings were washed away in
1880 BY a high tide, and the lost
city" was no more, as Ii was not
populated after that time.
In all probability Los Tres Cor
rales" and Santa Cruz were the
same spot, Davenport said.

Strange Tribe
The aged man continues to re-
late more incidents Of this strange
Indian tribe.
Once my father sent me out TO
round up some mustang horses,
which were fairly plentiful on Pa
Dire Island at that time.
While hunting them I came
across the ruins Of the old village
Of the Carancahua Indians. There
were many objects OF interest
there. including clay pottery YES
sells, earrings. flint arrow heads
and tomahawks, beads and other
objects.
Il carefully noted down the spot,
and returned there later. intending
to bring some OF the things 10 our
camp. but the shifting sand had
covered 1t all up. and / could find
nothing.
This ruins OF the village OF the
lost race was located between Wat
or Hole 8, and Water Hole 10.
about ten or eleven miles north Of
the Santa Cruz ranch.r
The battle in which the Caran-
cahuas defeated the Comanches
was about rs miles north Of the
Santa Cruz ranch, Alexander Sing
err said.
The aged resident of the island
said descriptions OF the site Of the
lost city, fit into the facts OF
Santa Cruz. His father had a
blacksmith shop at Santa Cruz. and
had several corrals for his live
stock. These objects were found
BY recent expeditions or Browns
vile people who went to the site
after il was discovered a short
time ago by Charles Hardin of
Brownsville.
There were some Spanish dou-
blooms among the money buried on
the island. Alexander said. as his
father secured this from a Spanish
ship which was wrecked on the
island near Santa Cruz once.
There were six Singer children
born on Padre Island. Alexander
was the eldest SON..
AT the outbreak OF the Civil War
the Union troops took Brazos San
tiago pass and Brazos Island, and
held these points throughout the
w.. Alexander Singer states they

goes on to urge a larger force. and
some fresh meat. which he says

But the war was soon over and
his worries ended.
Because OF the shifting nature OF

time to time relics OF tragedies and
adventures OF the past.
Its long rows or sand hills could
tell some strange stories.
