HIS JUST
REWARD

nOZRAH could hardly be de-
scribed as Il deserted village
because it had never been FIRE.
Quented. 1t consisted of one
store and station house on an mex.
cusable railroad that had been built
during the railroad craze of genera.
ton ago.
The I O'Clock express was Polling
away from the station and plunging
into the darkness of an approaching
Thunderstorm. Sam Mcdonald the
storekeeper, who was also postmaster
and express agent was standing in his
doorway looking at the slaty curtain
Of rain that was rising across the sky
under f1eecy arch of wind cloud. Ev-
cry moment the lightning was becom-
ing more vivid and the thunder claps
sounded nearer. He was on the point
of retreating into the store when the
station master called to him through
the windy tumult:
"Hey, Sam! Here's an express par.
cel.'
Lock it up in the freight room for
the night!' he called back.
But this has a special order with it.
and it's insured" said the station mas
ter coming toward the store at a run
through the first heavy drops of the
storm.
1.-THE order says that 1t is to be de.
livered tonight" he continued as they
both got under shelter. And he handed
little parcel to Mcdonald.
''Orders or no orders, it isn't going to
be delivered in a storm like this" Nc
Donald growled. Then he lit lamp
for the darkness of midnight had come
with the storm.
"Well. it's no funeral Of mine," said
the station agent. You have the par.
Gel, and it's your business to look after
It,"
In the meantime Mcdonald looked at
the address and suddenly stood bolt up
right After brief pause he put the
parcel in his pocket and started toward
the back door which led to the stable.
"Where are you going? asked the
station agent In surprise.
ITO deliver this parcelv' Mcdonald
called back with savage laugh as he
buttonad his coat and plunged out into
the beating rain. A few minutes later
the station agent heard Mcdonald
speaking fiercely to his horse as he
mounted in the stable yard and theI
for few moments heard the splashins
Of its feet as it galloped away.
Mcdonald could see the road only il
glimpses when there was a blaze o
lightning. His frightened horse wa
constantly stopping. as if overwhelmed
by the rain. but still the rider Leaned
against the storm and rode forward
The storm In his heart was so fierc
that the tumult Of the elements almos
soothed him. Olive Lucas would hav
her birthday present even if he died Il
the attempt to deliver 1t.
1t was a strange fate that made Nc
Donald in his capacity of postmaste
and express agent Il go between for til
scornful Olive and his rival. Letter

those sudden glimpses his stern face
seemed almost heroic. AS she watched
him Juggling at the oar she realized as
she never had before the force of the
man. Even in their terrible predica-
ment she felt sense of security that
gave her leisure to doubt if she had
really understood him and treated him
right. Try as she might, she could
not imagine her soft spoken and white
handed favored lover facing such dan
ger for her sake and showing himself
so sternly masterful. or course the
time was not one in which to decide the
future, but she felt an overpowering
longing to ut least beg her rescuers
pardon and thank him even with ca
rcsses for having saved her life and the
lives of her parents.
In the meantime Mcdonald continued
the terrible battle with the flood, but
not until bend in the river was
reached was it possible for him to
swing the raft out of the current into
an eddy and guide it to the shore.
When it finally touched land he plung
ed into the water and pushed the raft
securely aground. AS they all scram-
bled on to the land they began to over
whelm him with their thanks, but all
he said in reply was:
Il simply did my duty. An express
parcel came tonight for Miss Olive,
with orders for it to be delivered at
once, and now can deliver it,
AS he said this he handed the girl
the little package She detected the
note of cruel eXultation in his voice,
though her parents did not. and she
took the parcel from his hand mcchan-
ically without speaking word. At
this point couple of farmers who had
been watching the flood and had seen
them land With their lantern came
running up. After congratulating them
on their rescue they insisted that they
should go up to the farmhouse and get
dry clothes. Although McDonalTs err
rand was performed and he knew that
the right thing for him to do was to
return to his home. he could not resist
the temptation to enjoy his triumph
even further; so he yielded to the I'M
portunities of the farmers and accom-
ing her dress in the spare bedroom she
looked ut the parcel that Mcdonald
had brought so heroically and yet sc
ungra ciously. Then she tore it open
When she saw what it contained she
was thrilled with Il pleasure that made
her forget her recent danger ant
doubts and decided her rs to what She
should do. Returning to the genera
room Of the house. she found Mcdonald
standing apart from the others an(
noticed instantly the flash of bitter tri
umph in his eyes as he looked ut her
,, Walking directly up to him. she spok,
quietly. so the others could not hear:
, You have saved our lives. and TO
that we can never cease to be grateful
!, but you did it neither for love no
through humanity. but for hate ant
!, spite. and for that you shall have you
reward"
Raising her hand. she showed hin
, that it contained a diamond engage
ment ring. and. looking him fairly II
, the eyes with a level glance that toll,
, him that she would rather be lying a
the bottom Of the river than to hav
received her life at his hands when h
had saved 1t in such a spirit. she slip

, away from him.

had been passing between her and
Harry Lawson with ever increasing
rapidity, and he knew that the little
parcel he was carrying was undoubted-
" a love token for her birthday ON the
following day.
Olive Lucas was the only daughter
of farmer living on the rich flats Of
the Spadina river. AS it frequently
fell to her lot to go to the post office
for the weekly paper and the family
mail. and also to do large part Of the
family shopping the taciturn young
shopkeeper saw a great deal Of her
and learned to love her with all the
intensity Of his repressed nature. The
natural result Of this propinquity was
to waken a responsive feeling in Olive.
SO that when Mcdonald declared his
heart with sudden vehemence she con.
scented to be his wife; but, being young.
she insisted on a years delay before

President Roosevelt's Visit.

A special train carrying about
$50 people pulled out from Kenne-
wick about noon Monday for Pasco
to be present when the presidents
special should arrive two hours Ia
ter.
The presidents train passed by
Kennewick at 1854. A crowd was
at the depot and tile president an
swered their salutations from the
doorway of the rear coach. The
train arrived at Pasco at p. IN.
the schedule time.

depot President Roosevelt appeared

address; referring to the co untrv as
4 barren waste which lie hoped i'll
the future, when president visited
it again, would be irrigated through
state and congressional aid and
transformed into into a veritablc
Eden. The president listened af-
tentively. He began his speech
by referring to the subject of irriga-
ton and said he agreed with the
speaker that this section would
become veritable garden of Eden.
AT this point Mr.. Shivers pre-
sented him with flower lined crate
of strawberries, the products of
t h d e TT. 1t pleased
him greatly. The little daughter
of J. B. Clements presented him
with beautiful bouquet. He
shook her hand warmly and said
"Thank you my little lady, and
facing the audience remarked; "Of
all products of your country, the
products I like best, you know, are
your children.
Proceeding he said that the colln-
try he had just passed through was
evidence of what this would some
day be; that irrigation would come,
but it had to come by the cooper
alton of the state and nation. Two
things must be considered the dis
tribution i'll space and the collect
ing in time. These things must be
accomplished by wise and careful
Legislation OIL the part of the state
and nation. When it comes you
will rival the Sound, for you know
that rain ism t i'll it with irrigation
when it comes to raising fruits, al
falfa and sugar beets. Those tracts
of land must never be permitted to
be held by spectators i'll large
tracts, but only i'll such quantities
as will support those who actually
make Use of the land.
He then spoke few moments
upon the subject of good citizen
ship and the Importance of training
the children to become men and
women of character and action.
The train pulled out as he was
finishing his speech. He bowed
his acknowledgements to the cheer
ing assembloee as train rol ed away
t. wards Walla Walla.
