ceremony closed by long and ferVent
invocation, and with outstretched
hands uplifted over the bowed heads
of the pair.
At the conclusion, and after the Sec
Ond bridal kiss had been exchanged,
the old man uttered a subdued "Hslle-
lujshP' a melloWed echo of the blstent
cries Of the conVenticles to which he
had once ministered, and went about
his household tasks, quietly, but with
an air of dignity which was quite
noticeable.
But the consent of the young people
to this daring "scheme" made them
masters of his heart, and of his ul-
bounded confidence. So after dinner
be proceeded at length to unfold
plan he had formed by which he and
his friends might become msrVelously
rich. In the interest of economy Of
time and space, for these people have
each a part to play in stirring scenes
in the course of this narrative, it will
be advisable to summarize the old
mans version of his wonderful idea.
Few New EnglanderS Of mature age
at the period in which this stage of
our story lies were exempt from the
haunting opinion that somewhere along
the almost interminable coast line from
Calias to He'll Gate, Captain Kidd had
buried treasures, which were never &C
cepted below hundreds of thousands in
value. Many had been the fruitless
surveys, as many the toilsome excaVa-
tions, but there was little decline of be.
lief in the legend. Mr.. Shrouds had
himself been engaged in this search
but the stress of daily demands, to say
nothing of the incesssnt devotion OF
Deb had given him little opportunity
to work out the realization Of faith
which never Wsvered. In the course of
his Investigations, he had discovered a
rough chart or plan of some kind which
assumed to be the original and only de-
sign of the burial place of his riches
made by the redoubtsble pirate him
self. Having settled this point, the
rest was easy. Tne circles and arrow
heads and indiscrible scrsWls upon the
plan were interpreted by the old man
to denote that the treasure had been
hidden in this old town of East Green
wood, and astonishing fact, upon the
site of this very warehouse. Calvin
keen by intuition, study and practice
to turn the effects of things facing the
cause, saw readily in the old mans
theory a deduction from experience
Shrouds had hidden treasures near thai
spot, why may not Kidd have done so

aye see," he unconsciously spoke his
thought, "ye see, 1t might hev been a
partnership in store-nothin' mole,
nOthin' less. / swan 1 don't under
stan it; folks is so dogon new fash
ioned these days. 1 can't keep up"
"Mr. Shrouds," said Calvin, rising
and standing with his back to the fire,
"you have been dear, good friend to
us tonight. 1 know that neither Miss
Ford or myself would do anything
purposely to wound you. We regard
the marriage relation, as l told you, as
a civil contract, and we have executed
that contract"
81 know, ! know" said the old man,
"that's all right, but you're so cool
about it. Why, even Gypsies jump
over a broomstick when they wed. You
didn't even kiss your BRIDE"
81 am always ready to perform that
duty" Calvin answered good humor-
edly, and advanced toward Nettle, who
met him half way, and the salute was
exchanged. In a spirit of mirthful-
ness Nettie went on, threw her arms
around the old mans neck, and gave
him hearty kiss also.
81 Vum," he exclaimed, thoroughly
aroused and delighted, "that ere beats
all. Haint he'd such a buss since long
afore the Wsr-Wall, WALL" and the
greatful old soul spread his lean hands
toward the leaping blaze and seemed to
battle them in the flaming flood which
flowed so evenly and cheerily into the
outer winter air. Yet he could not re-
press q sigh, which his guests, obserV-
ing, truly interpreted, and after short
consultation, Calvin laid his hand on
the old mans shoulder, and said:
"My dear sir, no thought of opposing
your wishes crossed our minds in this
matter. We have had our choice, and
q civil contract is completed. Now we
are willing to defer readily to your de-
sire, and ask you to marry us accord
ing to your form. After all, the bless
ing of an old man can do no harm, as
the Pope told a pretty Puritan.
The Reverend Habakkuk Shrouds
rose instantly to the occasion. Whether
this marriage ceremony was numbered
one or 100 on his list, no one could de-
termine by his bearing.
"Jine yer right hands," he ordered,
as general might order up division
of reserves.
The command obeyed, he strobe in
front of the pair, and demanded in q
voice of great depth and volume, if any
one present knew Of any impeachment
or other reason why these parties here
present should not be jined in holy
matomony. He waited a suitable time
for q possible response, and then, as
though relieved by the resulting 81
lence, went on:
"You, an each of you, in the pres
ence of Almighty Gawd and Hiram
Abiff, do hereby declare and publish
that you take each other as man and
wife to walk together in peace an love
and leaVin' all other men an wives to
keep true to each other in sickness an
in health, in prosperity and in poverty
in life an in death, so help you Gawd.

Joe ChoynskI in four rounds. Mike Bren-
nan. the Port Costa giant, went out In

rounds, and Frank Smith was whipped in
three rounds George Atkinson and
Frank Glover were each whipped in two
rounds. In Corbetts second fight with
Choynski he won in the twenty-seventh

THE PALousx FARMERs.
VIII Decrease the Wheat Acreag
Hauling Grain TO Market In Sleigh


Hauling Grain TO Market in SieiEhs.
UsroSrowS, Jan. Especial. Never
In the history of the Paiouse country has
sleighing been so good as at the present
time, and farmers are taking advantage of
/, by rushing in their grain. But at the
same time calculations must be made of
the damage this snow will cause IL it
should go off with a rush, as several
county bridges are already in dangerous
condition from the strain they received
from the last food.
Cattlemen are here from all over the
state, and stock is continually being
driven in from all over the country.
Several farm mortgages have been fore
closed by creditors. principally by loan
associations. This applies to farmers re-
siding in Idaho and who have not DIVERSE
fed their crops as should have been done.
CoLToS. Jam Especial. AS an indi-
cation that times are gradually getting
better. a representative of the Sound
country loaning companies will meet the
members of the city council in day or
two to bid on the $ii.oo0 Of water bonds
which the city will put in as soon as work
can De prosecuted.
Now that sieighing Is good the ware
houses are taking In and shipping more
grain than ever before. and farmers in
turn are more elated. which has its good
effect on trade. His live stock is in good
condition, and as fast SIS lit for market he
converts this into ready cash.
Several large farmers are making plans
to curtail the acreage OF wheat another
spring and instead will embark in the 1.-Two
stock business on a large scale. Biooded
stock will be shipped in, an as the ques-
ton of pasturage and feed has been pro-
vided for as well as other minor details,
these farmers say they are through with
raising wheat for proft.
