THE GOOD OLD RAIN.

le5 u x d. d. N (
after magnificent season here
which has contributed immensely to the
business and reputation Of the city and
section. we are in the midst OF our
first good old rain. 1t has fallen softly,
yet copiously, and has done and viii do
an infinite amount of good. 1t will re.
plenish the springs and streams and
amplify the sources and powers Of these
indispensable agencies, from one end OF
the county to the other; it will nil the
reservoirs Of the people everywhere with
public and private supply and ward of
all chance of meagerness in this ,iirec.
ton; it will purge the atmosphere and
make it the more breathable, and cleanse
the pores of old Mother Earth aud re-
vivify her for the generous mead of a
newer season; it will bring out the
water bound logs from a thousand
camps and waterways and energize hun.
dreds of industries incident to their re.
lease; but more than all else by way Of
good, viii it add tone and vigor to the
general health of the people whersoever
it falls.
The rains of Oregon and the north.
west may be voluminous and long in
their falling but they are OF temen-
dous value and cannot be spared at any
time nor in any sense. They are indis-
pensable and welcome and propitious,
and all who know well their marvellous
influences for good, are glad to see them
once again.

Johnny Bounce was clerk In de-
partment store In large city, He sold
goods from the mems underwear coun'
ter. which adjoined the department OF
ladies' hosiery. Johnny's place was on
the right of the underwear, and ON the
left Of the ladies' hosiery stood Lucy
Crowfutt, a dainty blond, who from
the moment she had taken her place
there and had brought her robins egg
eyes to bear upon him had melted a
way with them straight into the under
wear clerks heart. They had found
opportunity to speak scattered SEN

bright days when the store was full
Of customers and to chat continuously
on rainy days when the store was de-
serted, hut In this chat there was no
word Of love- Love had been looked.
but not spoken. Nevertheless, after
several weeks Of propinQuity, the two
young hearts had become welded.
Then came new man at the glove
counter, directly opposite the mems
underwear and ladies' hosiery. He
was Byronic In his appearance, espe.
cially his collar, which. II II was not
cut In Byronic collar fashion, was
equally ample. A mass of raven curls
were tossed up on the top OF his head,
one Of them falling down upon his
forehead, nearly touching hook nose.
He had hardly taken his place before
the fioorwalker was obliged to admon.
ish him to attend to his customers and
keep his eyes Off the little girl at the
counter opposite.
Johnny Bounce was panic stricken.
No woman Is insensible to admiration,
and the blue eyed beauty from the mo-

surrender, but to make sure her hair

the admiring glance and its effect. He
cursed himself for a fool that he had
not secured the prize while there was
no one at the glove counter except two
commonplace middle aged men and an
old maid. Now 1t might be too late.
Not a moment was to be lost.

The couple decided to make the
best of the situation, and the young
lady prepared a luncheon which was
a merry feast indeed.
Dorothy Crusoe and Man Friday be.
anne wonderfully well acquainted,
and somehow the acquaintance ripen.

After luncheon two merry and light
hearted young people went for a walk,
and went for a row, and somehow OF
other their friendship lost it's imper.
sonal character and they became deep.

individuals.
Although it was five o'clock, the
Glenns had not yet returned.
81 wish they would come" said the
girl, with a sudden feeling of embar.
rassment, which she couldn't exact.
ly explain herself.
Dorothy" said Hugh, taking her
hand in his, and speaking rather
gravely, "the situation is growing a
little bit serious. l have thought so
for an hour or more, but l hated 70

tomobile has an incurable habit of
breaking down, and should IL do so
today, they will not know the abso.

brown eyes grew troubled-"you don't

M~asterson, with an attempt at gay.

Perhaps the tears that came into
the brown eyes at these words precip.
itated Masterson's next move. but un.
repulsed, he took Dorothy in his arms
and softly whispered:
Wont you leave it all to me, dear?
Won't you trust me to take care OF
you now-and always?"
And Dorothy said she would.
After a time-and, as the time was
nearly eight o'clock-they concluded
that they might give up all hope OF
seeing the Glenns that night.
And So" said Masterson, Man Fri.

a comfortable if not very elaborate
inn, where you shall stay over night,
and, indeed, until the Glenns do re.
turn, and I'll come back here and
keep the house safely against the
homecoming"
Dorothy agreed to these most prac,
teal plans, and they would have been
speedily carried out. but just as Mas.
terson started for the stables to act
as his own groom, an automobile came
chugging up the driveway, and the
Glenns had returned.
