Illackwell, 70 years of ae, slnxle, mid tin married all Ills life, was born and raised at Lnnu Creek, (Irani county, In eastern Ore Kim. He has been In Hint vi cinity ever since his birth. He has u nice house In a Khnsl town with a creek and beau tiful trees and mountains around. He bus been a prospector for Kold nil his life, except for four years which ho served In the American Army In France and on the Mexican border and for wlilln in the Ha waiian Islands. Recently he eaino to the domiciliary with a shuklnK hund. He lias look white hair and a snow while beard, and maintains there Is little wronu, with It 1 tit . He is a ready talker and loves to tell at the proper time and place of the beauti ful Klrl hn was once cnnnKcd to, when a ynuuK man. While on the western front In France, he was youiiK and much In love, and came from tlic trenches with the rlKht to wcur a victory medal. Once he was made a serifeant on the field of battle. This promotion did not take, evidently, for he was reduced to buck private again, after some peace-time exploit. He wos happy IhrouKh it all, for he had a country and a Klrl both, to fight for. A lot of men around him scarcely ever got letters, but Blackwell heard regularly from his girl, who was a school teacher in eastern Oregon, U.S.A. Hut then, one day when the fighting was all over, soldier Dlackwell, at a time of great loneliness, received a "Dear John" letter. It came from eastern Oregon. He stood with hobnails In the mud and took out the let ter from the wet, broken en velope. He read It in the prcs- ence of the whole army, It seemed to blm. The news was bad that came that day from bis girl friend In Long Creek, Oregon, U.S.A. One of bis hands began to shake. She had decided not lo mur ry Illackwell. And she would, her letter suld, be married to a young barber by the time soldier illackwell got her let ter In France. Ills hund shook so bad, he dropped the wet letter In the mud. After all, be hud been "keeping company" with her for a long time and bad more or less assumed that when the war was over, she would be his wife. Resides, be bud pro tected her nearly all his life. She was beautiful. Black well still remembers, her to this day. He can never forget bow she looked the duy be left for wur In France. Slio prom ised to be faithful. "But, you know how that is " com mented liluckwcll. "Time and tide wuil for no man." The shock was too great to bear. It upset him when she suld she would be murricd by the time he got the letter. He leaned on his gun und bent to pick up the letter but his hand was shaking so bad, he couldn't get hold of it with his fingers. He left it there in France in the mud. When he returned to Long Creek, Oregon, a few months later, his coal-black hair and beard had turned white as snow.
