Through the glory of that beautiful
October afternoon they strolled
under the trees of the grand boule-
ward. All about them nature was
taking on the vari-colored tints of her
autumnal garb. The stately mansions
rose serenely on both sides of the
avenue. The leaves fell softly as the
twittering birds hoped lightly from
branch to branch. The trees about
breathed of peace and quiet.
Through the spell of this beautiful
Indian summer afternoon, his plead
ing fell magically on her willing ears.
Her heart pleaded his cause while her
reason warned her that all was not
well. But in the end the heart con-
quered and raising her soft brown
eyes to his face she answered quietly,

cided that come what may, might
do worse by refusing you than other.

Taken completely by surprise, as he
had expected her to persist in her re-
fusal, his gratitude knew no bounds,

also fearing lest she change her mind.

for time till she finally went up to
the court room, where she waited in

minutes he came out and led her be-

hardly realized what was transpiring,

cradle attempt at gayety.
But Bessie was far from feeling
or feigning gayety. She was thor
oughly concerned for him, but still
afraid to do as he wished. She walked
on in silence by his side. Then, turn.
ing suddenly, she asked: How in
the world will we make it all right
with our families? Have you thought
of that?"

foolishness about our religions.

taught their children almost nothing.
"Oh. there are whole lot OF Jews
besides my parents who care just as
little as papa" interrupted Bessie, not
wishing her lover to think that this
attitude was peculiar to her father
alone.
"Wel. | don't care anything about

found alive is now the opinion Of his
relatives and the local officers after
a week of continuous searching.

in this city, last Monday evening and
since that time nothing has been seen
nor heard of him. A search has been
made of Walla Walla, Pasco and all
the surrounding towns of this county
as well as in Pendleton and the
searchers are now firmly convinced
that he will never be found alive.
The missing man was an employe
of the local section force of the
Northern Pacific. He was given his
pay check Monday evening by Walter
Adams, the local agent. 4 few hours
later he was seen in the Brewery sa-

there is not the slightest danger of a
