put out her hand. drew It back, and
left the room swiftly. The enraSed
and disappointed lover took turn TO

denunciations OF his Internal LII luck.

away to pour his troubles into the

AS soon as the sound OF his steps

Il rarely feel dull" returned Hope,
who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa-
vile had Quarreled with her sister-in-
law. She was too decided, too peremp-
tory q woman to be Quarrelsome.
Could It be for any reason connected
with herself? Lumley said he had
communicated his intention to proposs
for her (Hope) TO his father. This. no
doubt would have enraged his fam.

PENoLEToN PLANS BIRD SHOW.
Eastern Oregon PoultrYnen Will Make
Splendid Exhibition.

Pendleton-The first annual exhibit
of the Umatills- Morrow County Poul-
try association will be held in this city
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday,
January %, 26 and 81. The show will
be held in the large store room in the
Smith-Crawford building formerly oc-
cupied by Cook & Perry, and the com
mittee in charge has already started to
get the room in shape for the show.
The association has secured the ser
vices of Elmer Dixon, OF Oregon City,
who will be present all during the
show and will personally pass on each
entry. Mr.. Dixon is member of the
American Poultry association and is
licensed by that organization to Judge
all varieties of poultry, and is recog-
nized authority in this line of work in
the Northwest, being g breeder of
poultry himself, and his knowledge has
been gained by actual experience.
In order that each exhibitor may
have a full knowledge Of what his ex-
hihit is worth and in order to stimulate
the breeding OF only first Glassware
ties OF birds in the two counties, the
scUre card system will be used through
out the show and each bird will pass
most rigid examination, and the result
Of each examination will be contained
on the score card hung in front Of the
pen containing the bird.
In sdditonn to the other features OF
the podltry show, the committee has
in view the holding OF eat and dog
show during part Of the time, and ap-
propriste prizes will be offered in this
line to cause a large exhibit of this
class of animals to be shown.

ARIZONA STARTLED BY COMET
NebuIous Body With Flowing Tai
Plainly Seen at Sunset.

Douglas, Arizona, Jan. 24.-Without
being heralded, there appeared in the
western horizon just before dusk this
evening, spectacle such as none in
these parts had ever before witnessed.
1t was nothing more nor less than q
magnificent comet, or a body having
all the appearances of one, with nu-
cleus, coma and great tail. The
word was quickly parsed around and
soon the whole city was out viewing
the beautiful spectacle. At first it
was supposed as a matter of course il
was Halley's comet, though this is rot
expected until April, but word from
Professor Douglas, astronomer at the
state university at Tucson, is that the
stranger is distinct from Halley's.
The same word also comes to the Dis
patch here from Flagstaff university,
in Northern Arizona.
The wonder of the spectacle was its
completeness and its appearance with
out any warning just after sunset.
Douglas is about 1000 feet above
the >ea and has wonderfully clear at
mosphere. No comet like this one has
ever before been eeen in this section.

Disputes Delay Settlement.

Paris, Jan. 24-It is rumored here
that the delay in the final settlement
of the terms of the Hanko~- Szechun
railway loan was due chiefly to dis.
putes over details connected with the
apportionment of the roadway between
the financial groups interested, the
construction material and similar ques-
tions. According to a statement in
well-infomred quarters, the French
group, headed by the Indo- China bank,
held out because they considered that
they had not been fairly treated in the
apportionment.

CHAPTER XVI.


To Hope Mrs. Saville made no sign,
and she remained in complete ignor-
ance that her acute patroness had
been hearer Of Lumley's avowal.
There was something increasingly
kind and confidential. however, in her
tone and manner. Hope was greatly
relieved by having thus disposed OF
her admirer. That worry was at an
end; another. however, still remained.
Miss Dacre's feelings and imagina-
ton were greatly exercised by the
sudden disappearance of George Lum-
ley from the scene, and she grew quite
ravenous for Hopes society, that she
might wonder and conjecture and
maunder about his mysterious con-
duct, and cross-examine Hope as to
what she thought might. could, would.
or should have caused him thus sud
denly to throw up the game which
Miss Dacre chose to think he was
playing so eagerly-viZ.. the pursuit of
herself-till she made her hearers life
4 burden to her.
81 don't know what you do to Miss
Desmond when you have her out by
herself" said Mrs. Saville to the
young heiress one afternoon, when
she had called to know II dear Mrs
Saville would spare Hope Desmond to
take drive with her and stay to az.
ternoon tea. but she always comes
back looking white and tired, quite
exhausted; and ! will not spare her
Miss Dacre. / want her myself. II
you are always taking her away, you
had better keep her"
II am sure l shall be delighted. I
want a nice lady-like companion a If
tie older than myself. to go about with
me and"
"A little older than yourselft"
laughed Mrs. Saville. II suspect she
Is two years your Junior. Well, take
her. II she will go"
Indeed, Mrs. Saville, l think Won
would do better with an older person
some one nearer your own age"
Il am much obliged for your kind
consideration Yes, of course Miss
Desmond has rather dull time with
me. Suppose you make her an offer
In writing"
Yes. Of course I could; that Ia. II
you would not be offended"
NO. by no means / would not
stand In her light"
Really. Mrs. Sayille. you are the
most sensible woman I know. PRAY.

What Mr.. Rawson asked for his
protege-fifty pounds
"Is that all! Oh. / will give her a
hundred"
Then Of course you will get her"
said Mrs. Sayille. grimly. That be-
ing so. pray leave her to me for this
afternoon"
"Oh, yes. certainly. / can write TO
her this evening" Her further Mt.

Crops In Josephine.

Grants Pass - Outlook for fruit,
hops and grain in Josephine county the
coming year is better than it has been
for years. County Fruit Inspector j.
F. Burke has recently visited some of
the larger orchards in this county and
reports the trees well set with buds.
The extremely cold weather we have
been experiencing is all that can be
desired for fruit raising and if the
present conditions hold until the first
of March, Josephine county will be
blessed with bumper crop. This
does not apply to orchards exclusively,
as small fruits of all kinds are expect
ed to be abundant.

SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT
PATENT MEDICINE BUSINESS

The DesMoines Capital says: The
Fourth Estate" has been warning pub.
fishers about the risk in allowing
credit to new medicine concerns. Il
Is said that there have been only one
or two of tie thousands of new pro.
prletary medicine houses have made
any considerable money that have
started Che past twenty years and
only very few more that have met
win even moderate success. 1t is
the general impression that the bust
1tSss is immensely profitable while
The facts are that there is a larger
percentage OF failures than in any
other line, The new concerns usual.
" start with lots OF confidence in the
merit of their goods and advertising
but soon exhaust their capital leaving
dealers who have stocked their medi.
clnes with unstable goods on their
shelves. 1t is the experience of many
publishers that have accepted this
new business that they have been
compelled to charge off their bills &c
profit and loss.
There are many old reliable medi
cine houses that continue to do a
good or increasing business from
year TO year but the new ones are
finding it more and more difficult Il
become established.
