TALE OF A FEMALE RAFFLEs

Vance Allen went quickly to the
! terrace of lakeside hotel TO find
that the shadow that had fallen in
the moonlight was that of Mildred
Vivian.
She was evidently glad to see
him, and as for him. he hoped for
much from the meeting, and told
her so.
In a manly way he pleaded his
love and asked her to be his wife.
I'm well able to wed you, Mildred,
DEAR" he said. You are my hope
of happiness"
81 cannot" cried the girl. Now
am to be deprived of even your
friendship. must go away. I can
not explain" Her voice broke and
her eyes filled with tears.
He pleaded as only a devoted low
er can plead, and finally succeeded
in getting her to promise to give
him an answer the following day.
1t came in the shape of a letter,
and the landlord who handed the
| missive to him, remarked: ut will
upset the golf to have Miss Vivian
away"
1t was true. She had gone, and
her letter, which bore the marks
of tears, begged Vance to forget
her, to tear her image from his
heart, and declared that she was
unworthy to bear the name he Of
fered her.
| 1t was at the theater he saw her
next and she was on the stage, as
beautiful as a dream and with sad
ness painted on her face. That same
night, as he sat in his library, there
came a tap at the window, and he
admitted-a man-no, Mildred, dis
guised as a man and wearing a
heavy ulster.
Save mel" she whispered. "I am
In terrible danger. At any moment
they may be here. For Gods sake
do not give me up"
But this masquerade-what does
it mean?"

entered houses and took the part
of a common thief. Tonight l was
careless, and the police are close
on my heels. My God, that had
remained honest. There is the pri-
son."
Don't fear" he said quickly, "the
old life is dead"
The girl dropped on her knees
and seized his hand.
Quick" he cried, and he forced
her to the stairs and babe her go
to his sisters room and dress. BE
calm" he said. Remember, the
past is dead"
"Ah, inspector" said Vance Allen,
as he faced an officer at the door
What can l do for your

was the reply. HE entered here,

| "You should search the house, of
ficer,' said Vance. II live alone
except for my sister, Mildren, and
she will not mind. Mildred!" he
called.
A graceful girl entered the room

and the inspector bowed to her.
Five minutes later a baffled po-
liceman left the house.
A month later the papers con-
tanned the announcement of the
marriage of the beautiful actress,
Mildred Vivian, to Vance Allen,
wealthy lawyer.
Truly, the past was dead.

SYNDICATE BUY S
RANCH

The II. r. Wells ranch of 1900
acres near Prosser, has come into
the possession of Hugo Spannagel,
F. H. Mason, of the Holley, Mason,
Marks company, and their en-
ployes. The consideration is $685.
900, of which $4,000 was paid
down. Six hundred acres of the
land will come under the United
States irrigation project at Sunny
side. The syndicate intends to sell
out the land in small ranches.

the cry from every quarter of Rus

sid.
The political situation in Russia
has now resolved itself into two
contesting parties. The people are
either for or against the autocracy.
There is no middle class. With the
car and his family are the petted
guards, the Cossacks and the aris-
tocracy. The guards include the
army, who are content to live on
under the favor of the car, and the
rank and file of guards are salts
fed with conditions, for they are
kept fat and sleek and drunk most
of the time.
Selfish motives also keep the Cos
sacks in line. They are provided
with an unequal amount of land,
and their position keeps them
above the common masses of the
people. Their discipline is strict
and they are so trained in the most
barbaric methods of warfare that
they have lost conscience adm feel
ing for their brothers.
The revolutionary forces now
greatly outnumber the enemy and,
as l say, all they need are arms
and generals to sweep all before
them by sheer force of numbers.
The rank and file of practically the
entire infantry of the Russian army
Is against the cars rule. This Is
either shown outwardly or in small
ways. Today the infantrymen

Shows Evolutionary Process

Most curious of all living birds in
their way. are the "hoatzins" of
South America. which. as nestlings,
are more like quadrupeds than feath-
cred creatures in their mode of get
ting about, They have hand like
claws on their wings and climb about
in the trees by the aid of these
appendages and their strong little
beaks.
Later in life the claws, remarkably
enough, disappear, and the hoatzins
become much like ordinary birds. But
their development, to the eye of the
naturalist, tells a most interesting
story, showing as ii does how the mod,
ern bird has been evolved. In the
space of few brief weeks it repre-
sents the passage of millions of years.
for the adult hoatzin is in all respects
an up-to-date fowl whereas the nest.

Kings Edict Quickly obeyed.

In all the German papers of August,
1888, appeared an ordinance signed
by the king of Bavaria, forbidding
civilians, on any preteXt whatever, to
wear moustaches. and commanding
the police authorities to arrest the
offenders and shave them by force.
Apparently this was not necessary,
for, according to French account
of the time, "moustaches disappeared
Immediately, like leaves from the
trees in autumn; everybody made
haste to obey the royal order, and
not one person was arrested" The
ancient Anglo Saxon was not so ODE
dent; he wore long hair and nous
tache, though no beard, and when
he was conquered by the clean-shaven
Norman he wore his hair longer than
ever, to eXaggerate the difference be-
tween the two races.

NECESSITY OF RELIEF URGED.
Comptroller OF Currency Advocates
Credit Currency Plan.

Washington-Will b. Ridgeley
comptroller of the currency, advocated
before the house committee on bank
ing and currency on Saturday the pro
posed credit currency plan. There
was, he said, no question regarding
the necessity of some measure of re-
lief. He believed graduate tax
should be placed upon the credit notes
which would create an ample reserve
for their redemption. This, he thought
was a much superior method to the
high tax plan with no reserves.
Mr. Ridgeley was strongly in favor
of having the government guarantee
such credit currency. No risk would
be involved in this, as he said the
per cent guarantee fund would secure
the government against loss.

UNABLE TO SEE OURSELVES.
No Man Thoroughly Familiar with hls
Own Lineaments.

How curious It is" said the philos-
opher, that the person for whom you
care most on earth, the one you see
oftenest and who receives your most
constant attention is the one whose
countenance is least familiar to you"
who is that" asked the visitor.
Yourself" said the philosopher. ut
is a fact that If people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves In
the street very few wonld recognise
themselves. We look at ourselves
many times during the 365 days OF the
year We say our eyes are blue--or
brown, or whatever other color they
may be-our hair black, our chin
peaked. our forehead high. We know
every lineament Of our face from con-
slant study and attention, yet when we
turn away from the mirror we cannot
conjure up picture OF ourselves.
We know just how our friends, and
even acquaintances, look. In fancy, we
can see them sitting so or standing 80.
and their varying expressions under
different circumstances is clear to us,
even though we may not have seen
them for years but when 1t comes TO
ourselves, we cannot fill in even the
outlines of the picture. We may laugh,
we may cry, we may frown, but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing it. Photographs do not help us.
We have never seen ourselves in the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try to see
| ourselves with the minds eye.
THAT is why people are so deeply
| interested in anybody who is said to
resemble them. Just say to a man:
I know somebody who is the dead
image of you, and he will never rest
till he sees that person. Then if the
likeness is really true, he will own
that up to that time he had no concep
ton of how he really looked"
The visitor smiled wanly.
Il wish you wouldn't talk like that,
she said. 1T makes me feel positively
uncanny."
