OF maintenance was as white as the new
fallen snow. Yet, from the swing of his
stride and spring of his step, it was clear
that he had not yet lost the fire and
activity OF his youth. His fierce hawk
like face was clean shaven like that of
priest, save for long thin wisp of white
mustache. That he had been handsome
might be easily judged from his high
aquiline nose and clear-cut chin but his
features had been so distorted by the
seams and scars of old wounds, and by
the loss of one eye which had been torn
from the socket, that there was little
left to remind one of the dashing young
knight who had been fifty years ago the
fairest as well as the boldest Of the
English chivalry-Chandos. the stainless
knight. the wise councillor, the valiant
warrior.
''Ha, my little heart of gold!" he cried,
darting forward suddenly and throwing
his arIrs round Sir Nigel. II heard that

My fair and dear lord" said the
knight, returning the warriors embrace.

smile, sit is very fitting that we should
be companions. Nigel. for since you have
tied up one of your eyes. and have had

Oliver! you were on the blind side of me

So saying, he led the way to the inner
chamber. the two companions treading
close at his heels, and nodding to right
and left as they caught sight of familiar
faces among the crowd.

WILL BUILD RAIL.
ROAD TO MT. ADAMS

A railroad to Mount Adams is said
to be considered by number of cap
italists who have filed articles of in
corporation under the name of the
Bickleton & Northern Railway with
the state auditor of Washington.
The object is to build, equip and op-
crate a railroad from the mouth of
Alder creek, on the Columbia, to
Mount Adams, by way of Bickleton.
From the mouth of Alder creek to
Bickleton is 46 miles by preliminary
survey, through an extensive grain
belt and stock country. Last year
the territory tributary to the propos-
ed line raised over 1000, 600 busl els of
grain, beside the feed for thousands
of ca tie, horses and sheep.
From Bickleton the proposed line
is to ron westerly to Mount Adams,
about 50 miles distant. The surveys
run few miles north of Goldendale,
because a much better grade can thus
be secured, surveyors saying the en-
tire 1l0 miles will average one per
cent grade. From Bickleton to Mount
Adams the road ps great area OF
splendid yellow pine timber, which
extends al ,ng GO miles or so of its
length. Bicketon people have raised
enough money for permanent sur
vey and have guaranteed the pIomot-
els of the road right of way from
their town to the Columbia. Survey
ors are in the field.
1t is supposed the Northern Pacific
is backing the movement to secure a
feeder. Bickleton people are jubilant
at the prospect of not having to haul
their produce to Arlington, "a miles
distant, or to Mabton, Yakima coun-
tY. 26 miles away.

One more Christmas day is past
and gone, the day Of days in which SO
many meet under the parental roof
and partake of the good things pro-
vided by our aged mother aud young
house wife. And what OF the day we
call Christmas day? 1t has been
handed down through the pages OF
time for over 1906 years as the birth
day of Christ, the savior OF men, how
the very heavens were filed with
song and the air filed with music
when the sweet strains we're heralded
forth and, glory to God in the high
est, peace on earth and good will to
men. The shepard on the plains
watching theiI fiocks we're lead by the
star to the meek and lowley place at
Bethlehem. This meek and humble
Nazarene came into this world to
bless ana comfort and last of all be
died to save all men. Wherever ne
went people tbronged about him, the
blind received theii sight, the lame
we're made to walk, lepers were
cleansed and the dead were raised to
life again. The fishermen left their
nets and followed him as he went.

of the Glacier the fixing up OF the
road from Rockford store up to b. f.
Sboemaker's. Then ouI county COM
missioner made reply through the
paper that we had other loads to
travel on from that district and that
said road was little used. Now the
other roads must be impossible and
hence all travel has to come the old
way. This road is a disgrace to the
district and county. A person can
scarce keep hi, seat on wagon be-
cause the road is so badly washed out
and rocks sticking up in the all. In
fact | do no know how the livery
teams gel through with their loads
of apples. Well, of course, they tie
them down with sheets. l think this
road business should be put up to
the county commissioners. l remem

THE ELECTROPHONE.

In these days OF strenuous life, when
every minute counts, it is necessary
that every device for safety should be
the simplest and most perfect in its
application and use. Harry Rider,
the well-known ship-chandler, who is
always on the lookout for anything
new and up-tO-date in his line, has
now on exhibition new whistle suit
Of boats requiring such an article.
The new whistle is called the Electro
phone and is operated entirely by elec-
tric1ty, thus doing away with the need
OF steam or compressed air. All you
have to do is ''Push the Button" and
the whistle does the rest. Automo-
bilists will find this an excellent de-
vice as it does away entirely with the
necessity of rubber bulbs and tubes
which make it necessary to remove
the hand from the operating levers at
a critical time when the guiding of a
machine safely through a mix-up is of
as much Importance as blowing the
horn and often more so. With the
new electrophone all the energy re-
quired is three dry battery cells and
the control of the whistle is by small
push button, placed convenient to the
use OF one finger only or several but
tons can be placed in different parts
of the carriage or boat, available for
use by any of the occupants. The
whistle gives clear, penetrating
sound that cannot fail to be heard. It
works like charm and gives excellent
satisfaction. Call at Harry Riders,
612 Water street, Bridgeport, and try
one for your own satisfaction.
