A gentleman who in his mundane

reports an enjoyable trip and very

CHAPTER v.

The Castle Wyckhoff house-party

and it wa the fourth day of the ten
tNhich " Re to decide Arch's fate.
Arch himself, with countenance as
anxious and troubled as If he had not
already obtained a guarantee of good
faith from Agatha Sixth which was in
all probability to insure his inheri-
lance for him, was leaning gloomily
against the broad stone railing Of the
porch and gazing somberly at the
white peacocks that strutted in self
conscious magnificence about the
close-cut lawn. Agatha Sixth, who
should undoubtedly have been at his
side, considering that there was be-
tween them something in the nature
of an engagement understood. was
saated as far away from him as DOS

sfble IN low rocker at my wife's feet,
across the terrace from him.
As for Agatha First, she was knock
ing golf ball around on the velvet
lawn and absolutely ignoring the
humble attentions of young Leslie
Freer, the rector's son, whom we had
at length succeeded in foisting upon
her as cavalier.
I thought the party was too dull for
ten o'clock in the morning of a rippin'
June day, and l threw the cigarette
I'd been smoking over the railing and
set myself to rousing them all to a
more becoming state of jollity.
Il say, you people!" cried cheerily,
what do you want to do today? 1t
couldn't be finer weather. What do
you say to drive over to Northbury
to see the cricket? Northbury and
Lowshire are going to play"
These were two crack teams and
expected to extract enthusiasm from
Arch If not from the girls, because
] knew he was as keen on cricket as l..
But he only made me the most indif-
ferent kind of assent while none Of
the others took up the idea at all.
I looked rather reproachfully at

to the plan from them and a more en-
thusiastic one from Arch, who had
begun to realize in spite of his anxi-
cites that cricket was cricket after
all, something occurred which changed
the formation of our party most I'M
expectedly.
That something was wire for Ter
hume, stating that his presence was
absolutely necessary in London that
day and signed by the head partner of
the business firm with which Terhune
was connected.
20, what nuisance!" said my wife
when Terhune had informed us in
general terms of the necessity for his
immediate departure for town.
what a hanged shame!" was my
more forceful comment. Agatha Sixth
said nothing at all, but Agatha First
came forward with more show of in
terest and feeling than I'd seen her
exhibit over anything since the begin
ming of her stay with us.
"You won't be gone long, will you,
Mr.. Terhune?" she asked anxiously.
20, no; I can be back for dinner"
said Arch, trying as l thought, not to
look pleased by her solicitude.
TITS not a matter that requires
much time," he added to me in an
undertone. Il should be able to dis
patch 1t this afternoon"
Then you can't 60 with us to see
the cricket" continued Agatha First,
interrupting our aside by her ap-
proach, as If just realizing what Ter
hune's absence really meant. And
again felt that the interest in Arch's
goings and comings should have come
not from her, but from Agatha Sixth,
who had said nothing And when
Agatha First added: well, If you
must go, you must. But be sure to be
back in time to show that new move
in our chess game" Then, laughing

Mansfield Only One Year Old.
Address of Claud Bennett of Mans
field:
Gentlemen: One year ago today
the Washington and Great Northern
Townsite company held public lot
sale here. We gathered around their
agent, Mr.. Grove, on almost the very
spot where this building now stands
and selected some of the choice lots
of Mansfield; a dozen or more lots
were sold that day. This ground at
that time was bare stubble field
adorned only by strawstack from
the wheat crop of the year before.
after the lot sale it was a little
over six months before the railroad
was completed into Mansfield, and
during that time there was built not
to exceed four houses, but on No
vember 1 the steel rails were laid
into the town and trains began haul
ing lumber and other freight in, and
the breath of life was blown into
our little city. Farmers began haul
ing in their wheat from all direct
tions; warehouses were erected;
banks, stores, hotels, livery barns,
shops, a church, a schoolhouse, AMI
a printing office were built.
Farmers here now have ready
market for their produce such as but
ter, eggs, poultry, pork, etc. Mr..
Walker informs us that hundreds of
crates of eggs and tons of poultry
and fresh meat are being shipped
from this point; and wheat 1--WE love
our wheat)-we have shipped over
$50 cars, or, from Mansfield alone,
nearly one-half million bushels of
wheat in the last six months; and,
Mr.. Costello, if we can get the same
rate from here to the coast that our
competitive point, Coulee City, has
we will ship about one million bush
els the coming season. To the north,
northeast and northwest are thou
sands of cattle to be shipped, and
Mansfield is the nearest point, so as
soon as we can get the stockyards
we will surprise Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Cos
tello here, and all the other Great
Northern officials by our livestock
shipments.
"Those Of us who have watched
the development of this section for
the last eight or ten years or longer
are impressed with the change OF the
last six months. Our country has
been developing surely, but slowly.
Farmers were discouraged and many
wanted to sell and get away. but
now. how different, The railroad
has given us conveniences and we
are settling down to make homes, IN
the town and in the country, and a
spirit Of contentment pervades the
air.
"Wenatchee will reap great bene-
ft from the development of this sec
ton and we thank you, gentlemen,
for the interest you are tataking In
US, we thank you for making this
visit, and for the assistance you are
giving in our upbuilding."
