A. R. and Hill Military Academy Cadets Salute the Flag. One of the features at Hill Military academy recently was a patriotic ceremony In which the honored guests were prominent members of the Qrand Army of the Republic. The tiniest cadets and the elderly heroes of the Civil war united in the service. These Inspiring ceremonies are frequent occurences at the academy in Portland. Among the juniors were three little lads whose mother passed away a few months ago. Tho father who lives in California could not leave his business to care for them and so sent them to the Hill Military academy saving, "Keep them through the grades and high school." The private schools of Oregon are carefully caring for many orphans and half orphans who would be most directly Injured if the so-called compulsory educational measure should become a law. For that reason many taxpayers are working to defeat that moasure. In addi tion if adopted the bill would cause a great increase In taxes as the private school children, numbering nearly 8,000, would have to be cared for in publio institutions and schools.

I3AA.12.U , 1022, Wc.t.ru N.mimixr Union) Mike Moloney had traersed many wild places during his sixty jears of life, but Dead Valley seemed likely to be the last of tlicm. Tor fie dajs ho had set his face steadily westward oer the burning, barren nlkall lands, toward the myth ical mine, In spite of warnings that ho man had cer crossed Dead Valley from end to end. And now Mike saw his own end approaching. He had trusted to luck and to his own dogged will power. Tho will burned as unquenchably as ever, but the luck was out dead out. It was twenty-four hours since he had tasted water. Twenty-four hours under a Dead Valley &un 1 If he could go on twenty four hours longer, ho could reach safety. But the blood In his elns had turned to sirup and cinders, and he hod staggered to the thin shade of a cactus and fallen there. "I guess this is nil, BUI," he said. Tho great wolfhound stood beside him, panting, its tongue hanging from Its mouth. In its appealing ejes old Mike, too, rend the presentiment of death. Mike strqtched out his hand. "We been good friends these four or fhe jicnrs. Bill," he said. "It's kinder hard." Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind that made him wince with shame and humiliation. But It re turned unbidden. As If sensing It, the gient hound leaped bnck with a whine nnu laid its ears forward. Old Mike had one bullet left In his revoher. He had planned that for himself, in case ho fulled to win out In his fight with Dead Vully. Now another use for It had occurred to him. After all, If death for both was cer tain, was It not more merciful to end tho hound's sufferings quickly and to restoro his own life by the sacrlflce of the animal's? In lonely places thoughts become al most as things. As Old Mike drew the loaded revolver from its holster and called the animal, Bill snarled and be gan running In circles round and round him, just out of reolver range. He might suddenly have gone mad, for he was snapping and snnrllng, and showing n marked inclination to dash In upon his master. "He's gone mad," thought Mike. "That Axes that." ne drew aim and fired. A few hairs flew from tho hound's tall. Mike Maloney had missed. And, like nn arrow, BUI darted at hla throat. Mike was Just in time to spring to his feet nnd greet tho animal with a vicious kick that hurled -It, snarling and whimpering, a dozen feet awny. And then Mike knew that tho samo awful thought that had come to hlra had come to the dog too. And like primitive man ho had to face his ca nine foe unarmed, trusting In his wits ugalnst Its superior speed and the grip of its fangs. Hours must have gone by, while tho two circled about each other, watch ing ench other. Mike still had his Jackknlfe. If It came to close quar ters he felt confident that he could plunge through tho shaggy hide Into the heart provided his strength held out. But already the first coma of unconsciousness was ocrcomlng him, and the brilliant nlkall desert swam before his eyes. The dog seemed to have become a pack of six. ever circling round nnd round him, sometimes uttering a feeble yelp from tho parched throat, out of which the tongue, swollen to n frightful size, protruded. Mike lay down nt last, his Jack knife In his hand, waiting. Slowly the hound came nearer. Its bloodshot eyes gleamed wickedly. It showed nn almost human cunning in tho way it appreached, fawning, whimpering Mike thrust. He missed. The hound leaped back with a yelp. But It had been almost too cunning for him. Mike had been half unconscious without knowing It. Another Instant and those fangs would have been in his throat. The hound was ljlng in the distance, panting, looking at him. Mike stole cautiously towurd It. He must make an end before unconsciousness super vened. Then he would bo refreshed, to tuke up his terrible journey. He walked with hand outstretched. "Good ole 151111" ho said thickly. The nnlmal watched him ; then, see ing the knife, it suddenly turned tall and disappeared Into the distance. And Mike fell prone and uncon scious upon the alkali. Water I It was tr.ckllng Into his throat, the sweetest drink that he had known in nil his life. Mike opened his eyes. A tent was over him. And besldo him stood Jim I.afry, his old partner. "Lie still, yo durned old fool. Ye'll bo all right now," said Jim. "You where am I?" "Right in the middle of Dead Val ley. We got up a search party out In Larrabee. Guessed we'd find you purty nigh finished. But wo'd never hnvo found jou if that hound of yours hadn't found us." A bofi tongue caressed Mike's hand. Mike looked into the fulthful eyes of the watcher at his side and understood. Roman Emperors Dullded Well.
