This afternoon the eighth grade
examining board finished the work
of correcting the papers from the re-
cent examinations and 1t was found
that out of 80 candidates only IA
succeeded in making passing grades.
Nine others started upon the exami-
nations but found them so difficult
that they evidently failed to complete
the work for their papers were never
sent in for examining board. The
examination questions are sent out
by the state superintendent Of public
instruction and that they were harder
than usual this time is indicated by
the outcome.
OF those passing the examination
Zellah Zerxa, of Umatilla, made the
highest grade. She made an average
of 1918, while Bessie Key, of dis
trict 80, was second with an average
Of 81 10.

New Piano for High school.

City Superintendent ]. S. Landers
and Principal A. C. Hampton of
Pendleton high school, have just pur-
chased a new piano for use in the
high school building where an in
strument has been long needed. The
piano is a Hobert NJ. Cable and was
purchased from the Thornton Music
house of this city. The high school
has for several years owned a good
piano which is kept in the assembly
hall, and this addition of the new in
strument will equip the school well
from the musical standpoint.

INTEREST UNABATING.
Crowds Gather at Union Meetings De-
spite Severe Cold.

SiV"us UdtHcT dt Union Meetings De-
spite Severe Cold.
Forgetting the sudden and sharp
cold. audiences almost as large as
usual greeted Evangelist Hauden-
schield yesterday at both afternoon
and evening services. The cold does
not seem to perceptlbly abate the in
terest Of the people, and certainly
does not lower the ardor of the
preacher.
Unusually good reports were re-
ceived from the cottage prayer meet
ings yesterday, and this Is taken by
the leaders Of the campaign as a
true index of the actual interest on
the part of the church in the work.
Next week these meetings will be
continued and more thoroughly ad-
vertised.'
At the afternoon meeting Mr.. Hau-
denschield took up the subject of
some Of the fundamental principles
Of the Christian life. 1t was very
evident that this subject which will
continue through several afternoon
meetings, will hold the attention OF
all who can attend fully as closely as
the series on THE Power of the
Word" which closed yesterday.
In the evening the sermon was as
announced on "Lhe New Birth" 1t
is subject for controversy in many
quarters. Last night 1t was presented
with an array of clear and impressive
scripture quotations, set forth with
convincing logic, and illumined with
illustration and anecdote, that made
the sermon one Of the strongest yet
given.
At the close several additional pro-
fessions of faith and purpose OF
Christian life were made. II there
was uncertainty in the mind of any
as to the result of this union effort
on the churches connected with It,
the doubt has disappeared
A program of special interest has
been arranged for tomorrow as an
nounced in the column of church no
tices. There will be no public service
this evening, though the choir viii
meet for the preparation Of special
music for Sundays services.

The Rev. Charles Quinney, rector
of the Church of the Redeemer, has
received letter from the Right Rev.
Bishop Robert L. Paddock to the eff
feet that he would leave New YORK
for eastern oregon this week. But
owing to the fact that he will make a
number 81 stops on the way visiting
his friends, and enlisting Their help
and sympathy for his new field, he
will not likely reach this district until
the end of the present month. He
will hold a confirmation on the Sun
day after he reaches here, and

That Pendleton high school had
won from The Dalles high school
basketball team by score OF AZ to
3 was the joyful news received by
"phone last evening and today the
student hackers of the local team are
once more looking their friends in
the face. BY winning from The
Dalles by such an overwhelming
score the team did much to redeem
the defeats suffered at Spokane and
in Walla Walla.
According to the message received,
Penland. Means and Johns each
made six field goals, netting Sc OF
the points for the Pendleton team,
while the remaining 13 points were
made by Arthur Means on foul
throws. All of the Pendleton boys
played good games. So well did
Turner and Means guard their OPP
ponents' basket that not field goal
was thrown by The Dalles during
the game, their three points being
made on foul throws.
Walla Walla Won.
At Walla Walla the Pendleton high
school girls team met with a fate
similar to that of the boys team
when 1t was in the Garden City. The
game last night resulted in a score Of

girls. However. the game was q
hard fought one throughout and the
score was even until towards the
close of the game.

their lips, and friends showered COM

pleasure Of all to him was a quiet lit

He absented himself from the Office
at time when he knew Fred would
be there and, summoning a messenger
boy, sent up a little package he had
carefully arranged.
1t was addressed to Alice, and, with
Fred bending over her shoulder, she
opened 1t. The package contained
flowers, and accompanying them was
a slip bearing the following inscrip-
ton:

They looked at the inscription in
amazement. @ ~

each other in confusion, and then
young Judson fell to work on the type

made:
"Please accept congratulations from

Both colored violently, and then Fred
put his arms proudly around the girl
and kissed her fervently.

Judson did not reply, but turned
around to his desk and scratched on

'Don't translate any more" he
ordered, handing the check over to
Farquahar. "Just show me how that

for myself what the young rascal's

Farquahar was completely in the
dark, but he made the required ex-
plantations and left the office with

asm grew, He became more animated

He had the Florida orange crop well

matter from his mind, but the cipher
had done its work.
He could make nothing Of the char.

had found the previous day be took
literally. Somebody wanted to know
something. Miss Cressfell knew his
secrets thoroughly. Was Fred try

fairly burned into his brain.
Next day Judson was on the alert.
Fred came into the ofice shortly be-
fore noon. as usual, and they passed
customary greetings. The young man
apparently paid no attention to Miss
Cresswell, yet Judson observed him
leave strip Of paper on her desk. The
girl studied 1t intently, while to all ap-
pearances going on with her typewrit-
ing.
Fred LEFT the ONCE, and In short
time Judson saw Miss Cresswell slip
the paper under her notebook and pre-
pare to leave. When she had gone
Judson rushed eagerly to get the paper.
He examined 1t as closely as he had
done the others. but the characters
were Greek 10 him. Today they were
as follows:

r. RIRAM JUDSON was disturbed.
II was not business matters
alone that troubled him, but
d mixture OF business and fam.
lily matters. He cordially detested the
combination, having endeavored to
raise his children, particularly bis son
Fred, in simple honesty and without
too much knowledge of business life
from the speculative side.
He did not know whether to be glad
or sorry that he had read all the new
novels dealing with the stock market
eRtanglements and gone TO modern
business plays appearing at the thea
ter. It was one thing to have knowl-
edge Of the realistic side or dealing
In stocks for his own sake and quite
another to discover through this wis
dom disagreeable complications involv-
ing his son, his trusted stenograPher,
Miss Alice Cresswell, and heaven only
knew how many more. His wife and
daughter might be pitted against him
for all he knew. Such things were
common in the books he had read and
the plays he had seen.
It was shortly after he began cor
nering the orange market that the dis
c0very was made. He remembered
but vaguely the first instance when his
attention had been drawn to a strip
cf white paper lying upon the stenog-
rapher's desk, on which number Of
characters from the typewriter were
inscribed.
He paid no particular attention to
the matter at the time, but since then
the strips Of paper had appeared more
frequently. Yesterday he had discov-
cred new one, and when Miss Cress-
well was out to lunch his suspicious
led him to examine her desk, disclosing
several more.
Judson held the strips OF paper in
his fingers. They were apparently In
nOcent, and all bore harmless series
Of typewriter characters. The one be
had discovered the previous day Ind
the following marks upon Ii:
DIX 697 XII? = 59%@6 as $2G:S!
The more he looked at the odd char
acters upon the strips Of paper the
more Judson felt within him that he
had stumbled upon an discriminating
cipher. Perhaps he was the victim of
a plot. The question rang in his ears
ineessantly in spite of himself.
The idea made him shudder, for he
had suspicion that his son Fred had
