+ I, :
The spacious home of Gen. E. A.
Williams was the scene Saturday
night of one of those pleasant social
functions which make the givers hap.
py and the guests rejoice that they
have such charming better halves and
lady friends.
The occasion was the annual social
session Of the Monday club, when the
deep study Of the classics, history and
other heavy topics, are laid aside and
the enjoyable duty Of entertaining the
husbands and friensd along lines not
laid down in poetry, but in a way.
which for long ages has been an axiom
as to the best way to reach a man
heart. Last night every male heart
was deeply touched, so to speak. and
happiness was the portion of all for

glass, bright silver of colonial days

Of good cheer. In the center stood the
proverbial cherry tree laden with lus
rious ripe fruit just as it stood before
George got busy. The colonial scheme
i was carried out in all the details OF
service and accessories making the
super one long to be remembered.
The menu was unique. It was in

Boyish light-heartedness, college
spirit, careful training and genuine
ability, these united last evening to
make the concert of the University
of Oregon Glee Club what it was-a
notable success and a real treat
The Oregon Glee and Mandolin
clubs have visited Pendleton before,
but never as a stronger musical ag-
gregation than last night; they have
offered in Pendleton many programs
but never one more varied nor more
charming never one that better dis
played the talent of the varsity's fell
lowship in music or in fun.
There were exquisite harmonies in
the songs and in the instrumental Sc
lections ana every number on the
program was roundly encored. The
perfect training given the boys under
Professor l. O. Glenn was manifested
repeatedly in the clever execution of
the program. Professor Glenn IL

He picked UP his sword again, flung

swish and cut the air with It, hum

song. Then he broke out with:

spring nights are cold in these hills"
1.-THE work is nearly done. The little
soldier is yet to reckon with. But we
are three, and Zmai did quite well
with the potato sack"
Chauvenet rode ahead and addressed
few words to Zmai.
1.-THE little man must be found be-
fore we finish. There must be no mis-
take about it,"
They exercised greater caution as
they drew nearer the wood that con-
cealed the bungalow, and Chauvenet
dismounted, opened the gate and set a
stone against it to insure ready
egress. Then they walked their horses
up the driveway.
Admonished by Chauvenet, Durand
threw away his cigarette with a sigh.
"You are convinced this is the wise
course, dearest Jules"
"Be quiet and keep your eyes open.
There's the house."
He halted the party, dismounted and
crept forward to the bungalow. He
circled the veranda, found the blinds
open and peered into the long lounging
room, where few embers smoldered
In the broad fireplace and an oil lamp
shed faint light. One man they held
captive; the other was not in sight.
Chauvenet's courage rose at the pros
pect Of easy victory. He tried the door,
found 1t unfastened and, with his re-
volver ready in his hand, threw it open.
Then he walked slowly toward the TIA
BILE, turned the wick of the lamp high
and surveyed the room carefully. The
doors Of the rooms that opened from
the apartment stood ajar. He followed
the wall cautiously, kicked them open,
peered into the room where Armitage's
things were scattered about and found
his iron bed empty. Then he walked
quickly to the veranda and summoned
the others.
Bring him in" he said without TAX
ing his eyes from the room.
A moment later Zmai had lifted the
silent rider to the veranda and flung
him across the threshold. Durand, now
aroused, fastened the horses to the ve-
randa rail.
Chauvenet caught up some candles
from the mante and lighted them.
"Open the trunks in those rooms and
be quick. I will join you in a mo-
ment" And as Durand turned into
Armitage's room Chauvenet peered
again into the other chambers, called
ed to Zmai and the prisoner.
Take off the bag" he commanded.
Chauvenet studied the lines of the
erect, silent figure as Zmai loosened

gravity Of our labors. The peace Of O

1t was Durand who spoke. Outside
Zmai held the horses in readiness.
"You are a fine pair of patriots,
swear" said Claiborne. what the
devil do you want with John Armi.
tage?"
"He is menace to a great throne
an impostor-a"-
Chauvenet's eyes swept with swift
glance the cloak, the sword, the scat
tered orders. Claiborne followed the
mans gaze, but he looked quickly to-
ward Durand and Chauvenet, not
wishing them to see that the sight of
these things puzzled him.
"Pretty trinkets! But such games
as yours, these pretty baubles-are not
for these free hills"
"Where is John ArmitageW
Chauvenet half raised his right arm
as he spoke, and the steel of his re-
volver flashed.
Claiborne did not move. He smiled
upon them, recrossed his legs and set
tied his back more comfortably against
the mantel shelf.
