Must Pay Again.

NV. Il. Rigby is one of the unfortun-
ates that has been caught in the meshes
of the Wade failure. He purchased a
ranch OF Wade, located in the Grand
Ronde valley, for which he gave notes
for $4,000. Later he paid in $16,8O0
Wade, previous to this payment had
pledged the notes to other parties, and
Of course did not cancel the notes, but
used the money in his own interests.
Now Mr.. Rigby will have to pay this
amount over again and may lose the
property mixed up in the deal.

practically agreeing to the same. This
is the case in which Mrs. Payant seeks

very difficult to tell just what the YER

All day yesterday preparations were

Last night at 1880 o'clock the big

the train Of twenty-seyen cars was
placed on the side track bn Ohio

artistically decorated today and IL Is

spent for this purpose than at any

Francis did not wait TO be twice told.
He ran precipitately from the thcater

In all directions. More than one white

The lawyer commended his prudence,

\ walk into the country and fully consid-
cred the different steps and aspects OF
the ease. A pleasant sense OF his own
Importance rendered him the more de-
libcrate. but the issue was from the
first not doubtful His whole carnal
man leaned irresistibly toward the 900
year and the strange conditions with
which il was burlened. He discovered
I'm his heart an invincible repugnance
to the name of Scrymgeour, which he
had never hitherto disliked; he began
TO despise the narrow and unromantlc
interests of his former life. and when
once his mind was fairly made up he
walked with a new feeling of strength
and freedom and nourished himself

And so saying the dictator arose
from the bench and marched off in the
direction OF Montmarte, shaking his
head and swinging his cane with Il
most furious air, while his companion
remained where he was In an attitude
of great detection.
Francis was at the pitch of surprise
and horror. His sentiments had been
shocked to the last degree The hopeful
tenderness with which he had taken
his place upon the bench was trans
formed into repulsion and despair. Old
Mr.. Scrymgeour, he reflected, was a
far more kindly and creditable parent
than this dangerous and violent In
trigucr But he retained his presence
of mind and suffered not a moment TO
elapse before he was on the trail OF the
dictator.

forward at brisk pace. and he was
