Deliver Ephrata Wheat

Ephrata. Wash.-The ranchers are
rushing their wheat into town to
avoid hauling when the roads
have become even rougher than
they are now, and with the excep-
ton of those who had a large
enough yield SO that they can hold a
part back for the spring rise in price
most of them will soon have their
wheat sold and delivered. Owing to
the drouth, the total shipment from
here will be 100000 bushels, an
against 100000 bushels last fall.

stance seems no longer unusual, but
now comes D. ]. Wood with story
about growing peaches on his Willow
Creek ranch on trees that have been
in bloom all summer. The variety is
known as the ever blooming peach,
and the trees, Mr.. Wood says, are
loaded with everything from ripe
peaches to blooms. He brought in
100 pounds OF ripe fruit he picked
from one tree last week and he will
continue to pick until frost comes.

MR.. soees KNEW THE AMOUNT
Possibly He Had Often Computed the
Water He Carried.

1t was by no means a holiday task
for Amos Boggs to carry pail after pail
o. water from the old well through the
orchard and across the henyard to the
kitchen, where Mrs. Boggs washed for
the family and dozen or so of Gus
toners. Therefore he was in no mood
to enjoy questions.
How many years have you been at
this sort of things?" asked the elderly
person of wealth, on whose white
skirts Mrs. Boggs was then expanding
her energy and the heat Of a heavy
iron.
Ten years." responded Mr.. Boggs,
striding on with his pals
Dear, dear!" said the woman, In q
commiserating tone. why, how much
water do you suppose you've carried
in that timer"
I've carried all that's been in the
well during that time, and isn't there
now, ma'am," and Mr.. Boggs entered

street and with Jacob Valusse as his
wife at Atlantic and Grant avenues,
Richmond ELL. She was aided in her
dual household accomplishments by
the fact that Stroebel, whom she mar
ried in 1899 is an engineer and works
nights. Valusse is clerk and works
in the daytime.
The terms of Stroebels employment
forced him to leave his home at six
o'clock in the evening. Before depart
ing he would eat what corresponds to
a day workers breakfast AS soon as
he was out of sight Mrs. Stroebel
would put on her wraps, close up the
house and hasten to Richmond Hill,
where she would assume her position
as Mrs. Valusse.
The clerking Valusse wound up his
labor at six o'clock in the evening.
By the time he got out to Richmond
Hill his apparent wife would have
dinner on the table for him. She would
spend the night at Valusse's home and
get up at $3.50 in the morning and pre-
pare his breakfast.
Valusse left his house about $50.
Mrs. Valusse would then put on her
wraps, close up the domicile, and
hasten down to her home in Van Hope
street to begin the day as Mrs. Stree
bel. Stroebel would get home about
$50, tired and sleepy, and wash the
oil and coal dust from himself. Then
he would sit down to a meal CORE
spending to day workers supper,
after which he would go to bed.
The double life was discovered by
Stroebels sister, Mrs. Matty Meyers,
who called at the Strobel home one
evening and found it dark. Mrs.
Meyers called again and found the
house closed This time she made in
quiries among the neighbors and
learned that Mrs. Stroebel was in the
habit of skipping away from home
every evening after her husbands de-
parture and remaining out until the
next morning. She informed her hus-
band, and together they did some
sleuthing.
They lay in wait and trailed Mrs.
Stroebel to Richmond Hill and saw her
enter a house there. Mrs. Meyer asked
a woman living across the street who
lived on the corner.
Mr. and Mrs. Valusse," replied the
person addressed They are strange
couple. The wife goes away every
morning and remains out all day. /
| suppose she works somewhere" And
SO it all came out. Stroebel lost no
time in filing his divorce petition.

smoothed back the dark hair; and for

Yes. But don't let-any one come.

Esther rose, wondering at such a
fancy at such moment; wondering
If she ought to leave him. In second
she was back. Even as she went, she
tossed her hair loosely on top of her
head. as Gideon had liked it, and shot
the glittering shaft through.
He watched her with fond eyes as
she came to the bed and knelt down.
You are very beautiful, Moppett, "
he whispered, as she took his hands
again in hers.
Long he gazed into her face.
She kissed him on cheek and fore
head, at last lightly on the lips.
Mine! Mine for this houri" he said
with breath of his old passion. His
eyes grew deep and darker with their
strange, cryptic fash. "Oh. Start" he
whispered; Il tried-I-" He lifted his
eyes to the ceiling and whispered
family, "a life for life"
A shaft of light struck the arrow.

! words.

tank, and only few feet from him.
The snakes began to circle around
the tank. They coiled and struck at
the tank repeatedly, trying to reach
Jordan's feet, which were dangling
dangerously near the snakes. He was
kept in this position for more than an
hour and, becoming tired, saw that he
was not gaining any time on his enc
mics and concluded to make a dash
for liberty.
Climbing down from the tank, he
grabbed another piece of gas pipe and
a battle royal began. He struck right
and left. The snakes coiled and
struck at him. In the scrimmage he
killed nine of the rattlers, the largest
of which was eight feet long with Al
rattles. He crippled several others,
and the remainder got away
After the fight was over, Jordan
found that he had been bitten three
times by the poisonous reptiles-once
on the hand and twice on the calf OF
the leg. Jordan was alone, but expect
ed a party of helpers about the middle
of the afternoon.
In the meantime his wounds com
menced to swell. Becoming frightened
he started on foot for Kiefer, several
miles away. On the way he met his
party. He was almost exhausted
from pain and could hardly travel
horse was hastily unhitched from the
wagon and he rode into town as rapid
ly as he could and put himself under
the care of a physician.
Jordan was treated and removed te
Tulsa. He became very sick, had con
consciousness. His condition is alarm
ing, and it is feared that he cannot re
cover.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Suffering ter

Jus diamond-back rattlers, with which
ne fought for hours, and of which he
killed nine, Howard Jordan, tank
builder near Kiefer, is in he spital at
Tulsa in a precarious condition.
Jordan was working on the Annie
Stewart allotment between Mounds
and Kiefer. At this point is a very
rough piece of country, being break
off of chain of limestone lodges. FOR
some time this ledge has been known
as den of diamond back rattIers, and
it has been difficult to get men to work
in the oil fields in that section on &C
count of the danger.
A search of the premises where the
tanks were to be erected was made.

ne was eating lunch at the noon hour,
near the tank he was working on,
when his attention was attracted by a

He arose to find himself confronted
by two huge rattlers in the attitude of
springing upon him. Grabbing a piece
of gas pipe, he struck one of the
snakes and killed it. This seemed to
arouse the other and it began circling
around him, apparently to get an op-
portuniy to strike.
Finally, Jordan drove this one away
He concluded his lunch hurriedly and

The stiffness crept on, and on, over
all the room, over the face before

that was death. Only once his lips
moved; it was to frame the old child

The shaft of brilliance crept down

were closed, and Esther leaned closer,
listening for his waning breath. Was
this the last? She must call-no, he
