CHAPTER III.


The fire roared and cracked cheeri-
ly in the private room at the bank, but
neither Of the partners had arrived.
II never kpew him so late" re-
marked Tom Leslie, as if finishing
aloud a puzzling conjecture.
"Who Old Dart p
"Mr. Dart? Yes.'
Leslie feels it incumbent on him to
uphold the dignity OF his partners"
put in another clerk: "His breast
swells proudly with fellow feeling"
"What an idle set you are this NOR
ming !" remarked Tom, turning from
his desk with the quick, kindly smile,
which made his face so pleasant to look
upon. "As soon as anu senior part.
ner l shall give you all sweeping dis
missal"
The listeners laughed, enjoying the
absurdity of the idea and one or two
questioned him, with mock anxiety, as
to the occasion. Through all the
laughter Tom pursued his work, and
Dart noticed this when he entered the
bank /; and though it was very curtly
that he answered Toms quiet greeting,
yet before he reached the inner door he
turned and spoke to him.
"Cold outside, Leslie. Keep up
good fires. 1t is hard" he muttered
to himself, "to pass him without a
word" Then Mr.. Dart let the spring
door close behind him, and, sitting
down in his Office chair, leaned on one
arm only-as very calm men do when
they are i'll at ease, as we'll as tired.
He was sitting so, looking moodily
down into the fire, when Mr.. Maitland
entered the room. The senior partner
did not turn to greet him and even
when Walter stood upon the rug beside
him, he did not venture to meet his
eyes.
Maurice" began the younger man,
81 suppose I may congratulate you. 1t
is rather hard yet no one ought TO do
it SO heartily as I who know what
a good fellaw you are, and what-what
wife you have Won"
A glance of surprise into his friends
face, and then Mr.. Dart spoke in few
words, as was his custom.
"She has refused me, Maitland"
Refused you"
Walter repeated the words, though
not incredulously. Only truth, he
knew could have weighed them so sad.
ly. "She has refused me, too !" he
said. "She has never cared for me
but as friend-simply and only as a
friend"
"In few kind words to me-" said
Mr.. Dart, without looking up, "she
told me she had given her love else
where. was trying, when you came
in, to prepare myself to tell you, 4 re.
joice in your happiness, Maitland
And now you--you come and say the
same to me-"
Buried in one long, sad thought, the
partners in the good old firm sat in
their silent room, while the work and
the pleasure of the world went on with
out. But the days duties had to be
gone through, and these were not the
men to shun them selfishly.
81 suppose we had better settle with
Leslie about his holiday" remarked
Mr.. Maitland that afternoon, sending
to summon Tom to the partners room
"He will lose every glimpse of summer
if he waits longer"
"He should not have postponed his
holiday. He had his choice. Well,
Leslie when do you wish to start ?"
inquired the senior partner, when Tom
entered the room.

her. and this is the GOTH"
Thank you, Mr.. Dart but if il
would make no difference, l would
rather take my holiday from the Goth. "

On THE DowN GRADE. = Adviees from
San Francisco are to the effect that wheat IS
steadily declining in price. The decline in
prices is felt in this market where from 20
cents bushel freely offered two weeks since,
the highest figure is 62s cents. We have
noticed about harvest time that spectators
usually manage to depreciate the price of
grain, and that just as soon rs they gain
control of the crops prices go up again.
Whether this is the secret of the present de-
cline in price we are not quite sure, but un-
der all the circumstances we think that
farmers should be in 10 hurry about selling.
The high price for grain was mainly occa-
stoned BY the European war, and certainly
this influence is still at work. Instead Of
e short war, to be settled in a single cam
paign, it is now quite certain that it will
60 over to another year. and not unlikely
viii involve al the leading nations OF Europe.
With this outlook, high prices for bread
stuffs are likely to prevail for several years,
and hence we incline TO the opinion that the
present depreciation has been brought about
by SPECTATORS who aim to control the grain
market.

HORSE THIEF Arrested. - Early in the
summer number of horses were stolen from
parties living in Umatilla county, and for a
time it was impossible to get clue to the
thief. 1t subsequently turned ont that they
We're stolen by Cayuse Reynolds, man not
altogether unknown to fame, and that he
was heading East with the stolen animals.
Among the horses stolen were several that
bore the brand of Air. James Reynolds, who
happened to be over on the line of the Rail
road locking after a band OF stock IN which
he is interested. Mr.. Reynolds heard of
"Cayuse" being on the way with the stolen
horses and arranged to have ihethief arrested
on his arrival at Laramie city. This was
done, and Mr.. Reynolds hurried on to appear
at the examination Of the accused. On his
arrival at Laramie city. Cayuse Reynolds
had in his possession nineteen horses, all
stolen and identified as belonging todifterent
parties in Umatilla county On this state OF
facts the thief was committed to await &
requisition for the Governor OF Oregon. This
requisition has been obtained, and the sheriff
of Unatilla county will at once start for
Laramie to bring the prisoner back.

Dr.. BRENAx. AT Masonic HALL II On
YESTERDAY afternoon the ladies of Portland,
East and West, turned out in large numbers
to listen to DR.. Brenan's able discourse on
the Health, Happiness and Beauty of Wo-
men," This delicate subject was handled so
admirably by the lecturer, that by nnani-
nous vote Of those present the Doctor was
requested to continue the subject in matinee
to-day, at go P. n. We are informed that
the Doctor was greeted this afternoon by a
full house, composed of ladies of our best
society. 1t is source of qualification, doubt
less to the Doctor, TO know that his lectures
are so well received by the intelligent men and
women Of every city that he visits. While
people listen to truth from the lips of one
who can so ably present the subject of hfe's
mysteries, there IS hope for the rising gener-
alton. The private lecture to gentlemen
only, last night, was decided success, both
in numbers and intelligence. So highly
gratiGed was the audience that by unani-
nous vote the Doctor was requested TO speak
again tonight on tae same subject, but to be
clothed III a new and elegant attire. TheDr.
can be consulted at his Oiiice, Rooms 81 and
g., Slime House Portland Standard.

SCARCITY OF WATER. = People living at
the lower end Of town complain that they
are unable to obtain water for irrigating pur-
poses. MANY of them have been at consider
able expense in the way of planting trees,
shrubbery, etc, and in that way greatly
beautifed their premises and enhanced the
beauty of the town. They now find vegeta-
ton whitening away, and the plants and
flowers they have learned to love, doomed
TO decay. The troable is that the mills be-
low town require all the water for milling
purposes, and as a consequence the fumes
leading to the gardens are turned of. Many
persons are of the opinion that if properly
utilized there is abundance of water for both
the mills and irrigating purposes. The fow
of Mil Creek is as great ROW as at any former
period, and those who were here few years
since VIII reeollest that the mills and irrigat-
ing bitches were all abundantiy supplied
with water. This IS matter that should be
enauired into, and if possible the distribution
Of the water SO arranged as to meet the wants
of the mills, and at the same time enable lot
owners to irrigate their premises

HANDSOME REsIDEScE-Z. K STRAIGHT
the matchmaker and ieweler, has inst com.
pieted the erection of very handsome resi-
dence, at the corner of Poplar and Sixth
streets. The structure is OF frame. one-and.
a-half stories high, and is in all respects well
and Substantially built. On the first foor.
fronting on the corner. is the parlor, room
l5xl5 and having bay window 10 feet wide.
Across tine hall is the sitting room. finished
IN much the same style as the parlor. In
the rear of this latter room is the dining
room, large and commodions and comruni-
eating directly with the kitchen. Roomy
closets communicate with these rooms. and
conveniently situated is the bathroom. with
out which no house can be regarded as COM
piete. The ascent to the upper rooms is
from the main hallway, the stairs making
half circle at tie head of which we have
three large bedrooms, each Of them provided
with closets. Ample provision is made for
ventilating the rooms and closets, a precau-
ton that is too often neglected. The build
ing is hard-fnished throughout, and all the
work is the best of its kind. F. P. Allen
was the carpenter and architect, and this is
a sufficient guarantee that his part of the
contract is well done The plastering and
carpenter work is completed. The painters
are now giving the building the finishing
touches, and when they are through Mr.
Straight viii have one of the finest as well
as the most convenient private residences
within the city limits.

WHAT SHOULD BE TAUGHT. - The true
mission Of public schools is, TO great ex-
tent, misunderstood There are thousands
OF people who look upon the public schools
as the means of emancipating their children
from the trades and bringing them into the
already over-crowded professions. The fun
damental idea of public education, however,
is to make the masses of the people intelE-
gent men and women, whatever may be
their subsequent vocation in life That is
what we need in this country-less unskill-
ed, unintelligent labor, and mere of the
skilled labor which our growing industries
demand. A well educated youth viii mas
ter the mysteries of trade with half the ex-
ertion required in the case of the ignorant
boy In many trades an education is abso-
lutely necessary, and the training in the pub.
he schools should be with view to prepar-
ing youth for the farm and workshop. These
ideas are suggested by the fact that in an
other week the public schools viii open for
the fall and Writer term. and We would
have the boys understand when they take
their places in the school room that it is to
prepare themselves for life Of usefulness.

FINE BEEF. During the last week Mr.
Kirkman, of the "Pioneer Market" has
served his customers with unusually fine
beet. He recently purchased from Mr.
w. s. Copeland Let of 2-year olds OF the
Durham stock, and it was this lot of cattle
that furnished such delicious roasts and
stakes. A few years since Mr.. Copeland
bought one of the Durham bulls imported by
the Sake Bros, and the cattle from this stock
is now coming into market. The 2-year obs
of this Durham stock weigh as mach as the
ordinary 4-year olds, azd the flesh Is more
tender and juicy. Gradually these improved
cattle win drive out all the scrub stock, and

a! years the levy for county purposes has
been s mills on the dollar. Now that the

Maier also gives very considerable attention
