A Statement.
Newport, Or, Sept. 10, 1910

Newport, Or, Sept. 10, 1910.
As there seems to be S sImc mis-
apprehension as to the facts of a
conversation held between myself
and Judge Gardner in the latter
part of July last, | wish, in justice
to the Judge, to place the facts in
print.
In answer to my question as to
whether he believed in bonding the
county for the purpose of building
the main trunk roads, he said that
le did net believe II that meIN.. ~. !.
but ferrcd the present way, as
everybody would want main road
past their place and the County
Court would not be able 10 decide
which were to be built first. In
regard to the improvement of the
road between Newport and Siletz
bay he made the statement that it
would spoil the scenic beauty Of the
road to take it off the beach and
put it on the bluff; that there were
100 roads in the neikhborhood of
Toledo that carried more traffic than
the road in 4::Iestion; that both
Commissioners Fccs: ccs:ariy and Kent,a
were ashamed of their part in taking
territory from the Toledo district
and placing tin District No. 6 for
the improvement of the coast road.

HIS WELCOME FOR PRoDIGAL
Cowboy Would Have Reversed Pro-
ceedines as Recorded In the
Scriptures.

Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the famous
Denver juvenile court said in the
course of a recent address in char
ity:
TOO many of us are inclineds
think that one misstep made, the "
Is gone for good. Too many of US are
like the cowboy.
IAN itinerant preacher preached to
cowboy audience on the 'Prodisal
Son. He described the foolish prodi-
gals extravaganza and dissipation; he
described his penury and his husk-
eating with the swine in the sty; he
described his return, his fathers low
ing welcome, the rejoicing. and the
preparation of the fatted calf.
1.-THE preacher in his discourse no.
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made con-
vert. and addressing the cowboy per
sonally. he said from the pulpit:
my dear friend. what would you
have done II you had had a prodigal
son returning home like that?
"'Me! said the cowboy, promptly
and fiercely. I'd have shot the boy
and raised the CALI Detroit Free

with me, although l think her affec-
tion never wavered. AT the time / laid
the change to the fact that l had for
bidden all communication with John
Bailey, and had refused to acknowl
edge any engagement between the
two. Gertrude spent much of her
time wandering through the grounds,
or taking long cross-country walks.
Halsey played golf at the Country
club day after day. and after Louise
left, as she did the following week,
Mr.. Jameson and l were much to-
gether. He played fair game of crib
bage. but he cheated at solitaire.
The night the detective arrived.
Saturday, / had a talk with him. i
told him of the experiences Louise
Armstrong had had the night before
on the circular staircase, and about
the man who had SO frightened Rosie
the information was important, and to
my suggestion that We put an addi-
tional lock on the east wing door he
opposed a strong negative.
Il think it probable" he said, that
our visitor will be back again. and
the thing to do Is to leave things ex-
actly as they are, to avoid rousing
suspicion. Then | can watch for at
least part of each night and prob
ably Mr. Innes will help us out. l
would say as little to Thomas as pos
sible. The old man knows more than
he is willing to admit"

would probably be willing to help. and
Mr.. Jameson undertook to make the
arrangement. For one night, how
ever. Mr. Jameson preferred to watch
alone. Apparently nothing occurred.

ness on the lower step of the stairs.
doing, he said afterwards, now and
then. Nothing could pass him in
either direction, and the door in the
morning remained as securely fast
ened as it had been the night before.
And yet one of the most inexpIicable
occurrences of the whole affair took
place that very night
Liddy came to my room on Sunday
morning with a face as long as the
moral law. She laid out my things as
usual, but ! missed her customary
garrulousness. | was not regaled with

ment. / had expected . secret room,
At the very least. end think even Mr..
Jameson had fancied he might at last
have clew to the mystery. There
was evidently nothing more to be dis
covered; Liddy reported that every
thing was serene among the servants.
and that none OF them had been dis
turbed by the noise. The maddening
thing. however. was that the nightly
visitor had evidently more than one
way of gaining access to the house, and
we made arrangements to redouble
our vigilance as to windows and doors
that night.
Halsey was inclined to pooh-pooh
the whole affair. He said a break in
the plaster might have occurred
months ago and gone unnoticed, and
that the dust had probably been
stirred up the day before. After all.
we had to let it got at that, but we
put in an uncomfortable Sunday. Ger
trude went to church, and Halsey took
long walk in the morning. Louise
was able to sit up. and she allowed
Halsey and Liddy to assist her down
stairs late in the afternoon. The east
veranda was shady, green with vines
and palms, cheerful with cushions and
lounging chairs. We put Louise in a
steamer chair, and she sat there
passively enough, her hands clasped
in her lap.
We were very silent. Halsey sat on
the rail with pipe, openly watching
Louise, as she looked broodingly
across the valley to the hills. There
was something baffling in the girls
eyes; and gradually Halsey's boyish
features lost their glow at seeing her
about again, and settled into grim
lines He was like his father Just
then.
We sat until late afternoon, Halsey
growing more and more moody. Short
ly before six he got up and went into
the house. and in a few minutes he
came out and called me to the tele-
phone. 1t was Anna Whitcomb, in
town, and she kept me for 20 minutes,
telling me the children had had the
measles and how Nine. Sweeny had
botched her new gown.
When l finished, Liddy was behind
me, her mouth thin line.
Il wish you would try to look cheer
full. Liddy," l groaned, your face
would sour milk But Liddy seldom
replied to. my gibes. She folded her
lips a little tighter.
He called her up" she said oracu-
larly, ''he called her up, and asked her
to keep you at the telephone, SO he
could talk to Miss Louise. A thank
less child is sharper than a serpent's
tooth"
'Nonsense!' l said brusquely. Il
might have known enough to leave
them. It's long time since you and
were in love, Liddy, and-we for
get"
Liddy shifted.
NO man ever made fool of me-"
she replied virtuously.
We'll, something did" retorted.
