longer any right to keep? 1t would be
like "a woman to yield to such an i'm

plot for what it might very reasonably
conceal.
Calling together posse of street
urchins. / organized them into Il band.
with the promise of a good supper all
around If one OF them brought me the
pieces of broken ring which l had
lost in the grass plot of house where
had been called upon to stay all
night. That they might win the sup
per in the shortest possible time and
before the owner Of this house, who
lived opposite, could interfere. ad-
vised them to start at the fence in a

the privilege of saying what the sup

l did not accompany them. jimmy,
who has such an innocent air on the
street, took my place and promenaded
up and down the block just to see that
Mr.. Moore did not make too much
trouble. And it was well she did so,
for though he was not at home-I had

his house, which was somewhere near,

jimmy had just declared with her most
roguish smile that she would run home
and tell her mother all about this
sweetest of sweet little places when a
shout rose from the other side of the
street. and that collection of fifteen or
twenty boys scampered away as If
mad, shouting in joyous echo Of the
boy at their head:
'It's to be chicken. heaping plates Of
ice cream and sponge cake"
BY which token she knew that the
ring had been found.
When they brought this ring to me
would not have exchanged places with
any man on earth. AS jimmy herself
was curious enough to stroll along
about this time, held it out where we
both could see it and draw our conclu-
sions.
It was a plain gold circlet set with a
single small ruby. 1t was cut through
and twisted out Of shape just as had
anticipated. How could 1 learn the
story Of that ring and the possible
connection between it and Mr. Jeffrey's
professed jealousy Of his wife and the
disappointing honeymoon which had
followed their marriage? That this
feeling on his part had antedated the
ambassadors ball no one could ques-
ton, but that 1t had started as far back
as the wedding day was a new idea to
me, and one which suggested many
possibilities. Could this idea be estab-
lished, and If so how? But one avenue

might be able to give us some informa.

been the medium of the messages
which had passed between her and
Ar. Jeffrey just prior to the ceremony:
afterward he had been seen talking
earnestly to that gentleman and later
with her. Certainly 1t would add to
our understanding Of the situation to
know what reply she had sent to the
peremptOry demand made upon her at
so critical time-an understanding 50
desirable that the very prospect of II

of disease. In diseases of the lungs and
respiratory organs, for instance, it is the
custom to assume that there is no cure for
the cough, no help for the hemorrhage, no
healing for the lungs. The scarecrow, Cos.

LOGGING NOTES.
Some Matters of Interest to the Men Who
Swing the Ak and Saw

Some Matters of Interest to the Men Who
Swing the AK and Saw
The future record of this Coast will
be reproduction of the history of the
white pine trade Of the East-the man
who owns the trees will have the long
est sack and the man who saws them
will have the most worry.
More cedar shingles might be sold
i'll California than are now being
marketed there. The great cOnsump-
ton of lumber in that State necessar-
lily demands a great many shingles.
Limited shipments of cedar shingles
are made into that territory which are
quickly absorbed.
The official report Of the Treasury
Department shows that during the
month OF September there were i'm
ported from British Columbia into the
United States $4,000 feet of logs
and 5,Sl3,UOO shingles. Lumber i'm
ported to foreign ports from the Puget
Sound district amounted to only To-
$4,000.
Mills are shutting down in many
places for want of cars, and it requires
no prophet to say that the fall rail-
trade is to be nearly ruined because
Of the lack of cars. DO the railway
powers realize what this means to the
mill man who has held on against "a
losing game hopin 6 that the late de-
mand would bring him relief?
The transcontinental lines have in
structed their agents to accept actual
weight on cars OF &c feet or less in
length when loaded with shingles.
Heretofore the agents have placed an
arbitrary weight Of 10000 pounds on
these cars, irrespective of whether the
cars were loaded to full visible capacity
or not.
The lumbermen Of Oregon will make
vigorous effort to have strong amend
ment tackled on to their State forest
fire law, so that it will be strictly en-.
forced. The Washington law has
worked very well, but the County
Commissioners in some OF the counties
have been very lax in granting per.
mits for burning slashings.
