to mention. Had he learned it he might

pressing it, he explained, a metal disk

the fisherman that he was to hasten to

Here was further illustration of the

pairing for possible dangers. But, if
he had taken the pains to insure sup
port from Johnson in case of need, why
had he not arranged a method of calling
upon me also? Rather piqued, in spite

purpose of enjoying pipe and stroll
in the open air. The hour was late, at
least for that community OF early ris-
ing and early retiring, and few lights
were to be seen in any of the cluster OF
farmhouscs. A faint CLEAN from one
of the upper rooms of the house across
the way showed that Mrs. Loring was
wooing slumber under the protection of
her night-lamp. She and her niece, hay
ing arrived that day, were now in full
possession of their new quarters. Both
had stood the journey we'll. Mrs. Lor-
ing, in fact, was never more cheerful
than when on the wing. The invalid
had greeted me with effusion, while
Miss Gray had displayed cordially
that was almost too full OF friendliness
and too lacking in self-consciousness to
please my fancy. Cheerful good-fel.

tone gave evidence that the business

that he desired to avoid observation.

and up the ascent. On the dark surface
of the creek the still darker outlines Of
a boat could be made out. The craft
was moored to the rocks, to which
man was transferringa number of cases
and packages. A little way up the
slope, directing the operation, stood
Lamar. Intent as he was upon the task
in hand, his quick ear caught the sound
of my steps, and he turned toward me
like flash.

THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAN
COUNTY. OREGON.

Since the last message of Presi-
dent Diaz Of Mexico the gold papers
have less and less to say about that
country. He says the cash revenue
for the fiscal year ending June S0th
was $50,000,000, the largest ever
recorded in the history of that re-
public while the surplus on hand at
that date was $4,5O0,000. and is
now $6,000,00O. At the time silver
was demonetized in the United
States, Mexico was bankrupt. Now
she has all her debts adjusted,
nearly all paid; she meets the in
terest promptly; has a large surplus
on hand, and has expended $780,
COCOON public improvements in
the last twenty years. We are be-
ing told every day that the election
of Mr.. Bryan and the carrying out
of the policy of the platform on
which he stands would result in
Mexicanizing the United States.
The question is, would it not be a
good thing to be Mexicanized that
way?-Salt Lake Tribune.
