In the sixth instalment of "Sir
 Richard Escombe," MT Pemberton seems to have made the biggest hit of
 the entire serial so far. Votes and criticisms are coming his way. and some of Mrs Freeman's supporters have, for the nonce at least, deserted her and gone over to the Briton. "His is the type of the sit-up-all- l-night-to-flish story. spurring on the reader to see what is going to happen next" says one of his admirers. Some are impa- tient because there is no last chapter to turn to and end the delightful suspense. One critic admits that MT Pemberton has, as charged by some of his oppo- nents, played to the galleries with a sterotyped plot, but argues that he has handled this plot in such an effective and artistic manner that he deserves all the applause that he gets.
 Mrs Freeman still has enthusiastic supporters. however, and many of them. One wrote =" Suppose it was bitter ly cold morning and your newsdealer had forgotten to leave the SUNDAY HERALD; suppose-this, by the way. is an impossible condition-the install ment of Max Pemberton's story vas the only inducement, would the inter- est he has excited make you brave the wintry blasts and get the paper your self; 1, for one, would let Sir Richard severely alone. But, on the other hand, if the instalment of "The Shoul- ders of Atlas" were in the balance, I would rush to the news stand, seize the paper, and probably would not take time to berate the neglectful dealer, but would dash to my den and eagerly take up the thread of the narrative where it had been severed by the wick ed little "To-be-continued-next-Sun- day" line. And the chances are that my whole family would be at my back ready to seize the paper from me as soon as I had finished. But I'd lock the door and read in peace"

ing 81, 900 he met with mild surprise
from his flock. That minister should

staid members can accept and there
are mild protests from many quarters.
However, Rev. Euster is equal to
the occasion and explains that be can
now cover his large Geld and visit his
country mem bership with a great deal
more comfort aud less expense than on
foot or by team, and the sting of the
innovation is somewhat dulled. When
be bought $40 panama hat during
the summer there were gentle inquiries
as to the propriety of the procedure
but when he came home with an auto
the protest was open and pronounced
from a small proportion of the mem
bership.
The Methodist is the largest CON
gregation in the city, having $50, 900

progressive pastor. He drove bis auto

.|NCEND|ARYS WORK
Alta House and Barn Burned In a
Disastrous Confiagration at PEN
dleton Wednesday Night.

The fiend visited Pendleton again
Wednesday night with disastrous re.
suits. This is the seventh fire Pendle-
ton has had, and there appears no
doubt of its being of incendiary origin.
The Alta House together with the
big stable in connection, was totally
destroyed, entailing 5000 loss to
the owner, Sam Bittuer. Insurance
amounting to 81, 500 was carried on
the property.
The fire was started about IL 80
Wednesday night and the best witness
to the circumstances surrounding the
origin is Peter Shafer, a young man
who was conversing with lady friend
at her home.
According to Shafer. says the East
Oregonian, he and Miss Town saw a
man come stealthily down the street
from the side of the Alta house just a
moment before the fire was seen. The
fellow tip-toed until almost in front of
the young people, whom he did not
see, and he then broke into run. On
reaching Webb street he turned to-
wards the business section. still run
ming.
In the opinion of young Shafer. there
is no doubt but that the fellow, who
ever be is. started the fire. No sooner
had he gotten past the Town house un-
til the flames broke forth at the Alta
House and Shafer dashed over TO the
place. Taking hasiy glance at the
fire he then sped around the block to
the local fire house and rang the small
bell. By that time the flames had
gotten under strong hsadway.
According to Shafer's description.
the man he saw running from the spot
was small in stature and he either
wore light oolored coat or else he had
on light colored shirt without the
| coat.
When the fire started the big stable
was completely filled with horses an6
vehicles. Nearly 80 head of horses
were tied in the stalls, every stall Le-
ing taken. Those who arrived on tht
scene early saw the peril of the horses
and rushed in to free them. Bnt the
fire was so strong at the extreme west
end that help could not reach the
frantic animals and eight of them
burned in their stalls. By hard and
pluCky work on the part of eager vol
unteers the remainder of the horses
were gotten loose and they ran out Of
| the barn.
While the fire made slower head
way on the hotel it was no less sure in
its destructiveness. Commencing at
the southwest corner the flames ate
their way into the hostelry and within
few minutes the old farm hotel was
doomed.
