CHAPTER \,

A fierce April storm, the severest of
the year! Wet snow, melting almost
as it fell, wrapped the town in a sheet
of red mud.
1t was wearing toward dark, and the
stage, seven hours late, had not yet
arrived. Stella stood alone by tho
hotel Office window looking up at the
mountain peaks, which loomed dis.
tant and ghostly through the fitful
fakes. Rarely did snow fall at that
altitude; and it's untimeliness, after
two months of summer:11ke spring,
doubled Stella's depression. She was
worn with anxiety. This was Uncle
Billy's trip.
The wires had gone down. The last
word had been from Coburn's,. where
he had passed safe and on time. But
Coburn's was only at the eastern door
step of the Sierras! Along Donner's
frozen shore, zigzagging up the awful
sleeps, across the trackless Summit
valley where the. summer road lay
twice q coach's length beneath the
winter snow road-Stella trembled
with fear and prayed that Uncle
Billy's passengers might be men Of
courage and strength, young men.
Poor Uncle Billy! He was so old!
Fifty, forty-even the prime of life
is old age to youth so lately embarked
on the souls voyage.
Stella turned from the dark land
scape to read again Gideon's letter
that had come the day before, an.
other perturbing portent.
1t was dated at Virginia City. For

4 All this was poured out impetuously
as she came toward him, her mind
scantily comprehending the import Of
his words, though a mental fashlight
told her that the complexion of the
roads would make forever unnecessary

The train puffed in. Alvin gave dis

saw no hand wave from the doorway.

the shorter of the two messages first.

PUBLIC-SPIRITED MEN FOR PUB
Lie OFFICE.

The coming election promises to be
one. Of the most interesting ones
that has ever been experienced in
the history OF Chelan county. The
fact that this is the first time that
the candidates are to be chosen I'M
der the provisions Of the direct pri-
mary law will be in large measure
accountable for the special interest
taken. Now that the people have
the right to select the men who are
to serve them, the public-spirited citi-
zen ought to have an inning.
A number OF candidates have al
ready announced their intention to
be in the race. A lot more are
about ready Ito have their friends
force them to come out The align
ments are being made, and while
this is being done it is well to look
into the record of the man whom you
will support. The wise citizen. who
has the good of the community at
heart, will do we'll to ascertain whetr-
he his candidate is one who always
moves from a selfish spirit, or wheth-
er he is one who has been willing 20
devote some Of his time for the pub
lie veal.
Think of man coming out for Of
fee in this county who has never do
mated a dollar for the commercial
club in his district. or. if he be a
grower, who has never donated a box
OF fruit for exhibition purposes, who
has never served on a committee for
the public good, man who, in fact,
has never done anything except hole
himself up in his miserable little
shell. Compare him with the man
who has been live one in his neigh
borhood, who can always be relied
upon to do his part along lines of
public improvement.
Place a bunch of dead ones in the
Offices of Chelan county and the eff
feet will be felt at once.
Let the affairs of Wenatchee and
of Chelan county be handled by men
of spirit, and this section will con-
tinue to be known for its enterprise
and its public spirit and Wenatchee
will continue to grow.
Give us live men.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

If you would become great you
must appeal to the greatest possible
number of people. An idea which
strikes you as a good one may be
good only with reference to select
ed few. 1t is true that many propo-
sitions, designed to satisfy the wants
of a certain class of the population,
have met with unquestiOnable sue
cess; but in every case your power
is limited On the other hand, when
you appeal to the whole people,
your proposition knows no bounds.
1t is limited only by your ability to
mal-o a go of il.
Many years ago, when Joseph Pull
liter began his career in America as
a waiter in a St. Louis restaurant,
he noticed that most of the people
who came into the place ordered
ham and eggs. From that time he
made up his mind that if he would
become great he would have to ap-
peal to the ham and egg" public.
One day Carl Schurz. then editor
of the Westliche Post, came into the
restaurant and before long young
Pulitzer was working on his news
paper He advanced rapidly and soon
came east, where he assumed charge
of the New York World. and immed-
lately put into effect his ham ant
egg policy.
1t was this policy that brought
Pulitzer to the front, and the prin-
ciple which underlies il has been a
guide for many successful men.
Find out the wants of the great
est number and get an idea that vii
appeal to the ham and egg" public.

THE RIGHT IDEA.

People Of the OkanOgan country
have begun to realize that if they ex-
pect to secure their share of the peO-
pie who are looking for homes that
they must be on the ground and do
some hustling for themselves.
The larger cities OF Seattle, Taco
ma and Spokane are doing their
advertising in the east. Wenatchee
and the smaller places are doing
their best advertising in Spokane,
Seattle and Tacoma. Following the
same idea the towns Of the Okano-
gan and of Douglas counties will find
it their interest to do their advertis-
ing in Wenatchee.

SLAIN BURGLAR
LED DOUBLE LIFE
MAN KILLED BY DOCTOR
BELIEVED TO HAVE COMMIT
TED SEVERAL RoBBERIEs.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-That Louis Lauter-
bach, the former convict, shot dead by
DR.. Adolph Gehrmann while in the act
Of Tobbing the Iatter's home, was a
criminal Jekyll and Hyde is a theory
evolved by police officials who are
working to clear up a score of myster-
iOus burglaries committed in the
neighborhood on the dead mans home.
Following Lauterbach's identified
ton by his widow, it was learned that
the dead man had served a term in
the penitentiary for burglary and that
he had absented himself from home
at different times in a mysterious man
ner.
LaUterbach never explained these
absences to his wife, and she always
believed he had gone to another city
on business. He seemed pIentifulIy
supplied with money.
Most Of the rObberies investigated,
it is said, were committed by a lone
burglar who used dark lantern and
a heavy revolver, and who gained en-
trance to the houses with the aid of
skeleton keys.
A few Of the burglaries Lauterbach
is suspected of having committed are:
Sept. 12-B. II. Dahlbim, 1856 Cot
tage Grove avenue; $40 and other pro
perty.
Sept. 19.-H. E. Detwiler, 1912 Cot
tage Grove avenue; several hundred
dollars worth of goods taken.
Sept. 22-Morrison Cafe, 279 Forty
third street; s35 in cash and s45
worth Of dishes taken.
Sept. PA. L. Coverdale, dry goods
store. 4240 Cottage Grove avenue;
$500 in currency
Sept 25-J. Walsh, grocer, APO
Cottage Grove avenue; $35 in cash.
Sept. 26-Clough & Stone, 302
Forty-third street; $50 live chickens.
Sept. I'D. Cohn, residence, 1927
Evans avenue: $500 in cash.
Sept. %, F. L, Porter, 236 Cottage
Grove avenue, merchant; 5000 worth
Of revolvers and cartridges.
4 can not believe that my husband
was a professional burglar" said Mrs,
Lauterbach. when the police suggested
that the dead man might have led a
double life. HE was always so good
and kind to US all and he seemed to
work hard whenever he had any work
to do"
Capt. O'Brien. chief of detectives,
has detailed a number of men on the
case. and every effort will be made 20
discover whether Lauterbach com
mitted the southside robberies which
are worrying the police.

Passes Away.

Milwaukee, Oct 6.-Rev. Victor Won
Putten. S. j., treasurer of Marquette
university, died Friday morning at 10
minutes after o'clock at Trinity
hospital. where he had been for two
DAYS. Death was due to diabetes
from which he had suffered for over
20 years.
The death of Father Won Putten re-
moves from the Jesuit order in Mil
waukee one of its most valued mem
bers. His position as treasurer OF
Marquette college for twenty years
and of Marquette university brought
him into contact with business men
of the city, among whom he had
large circle of friends. He was
man of deep learning, broad judg
ment. ascetic life and great piety. He
was thoroughly Versed in moral theo-
Iogy, which, together with French and
German, he taught at Marquette until
two years ago.
For "a years Father Won Putten
acted as extraordinary confessor and
the Good Shepherd, where he minis
tered as late as Thursday of last
week.
Father Won Putten had been for 40
years a Jesuit, in the Missouri pro
vince and had been stationed in Mil
waukee for twenty-four years. Before
coming here he was engaged in
church work in St Charles, Mo, Gin
t, cinnati and Chicago He was ma
tive of Dennenburg, in Holland, where
he was born on February &c, 1845.
The remains will be carried from
Marquette university to the Church Of
| the Gesu on Sunday afternoon, where
they will lie in state until Monday
morning, when the funeral services
will be held at o'clock. Sunday
evening at o'clock the members of
the order will chant the office for the
dead in the church. Interment will be
at Calvary cemetery.
