"You are sure you do not want the

had opened the door. then grasped the
pictures again. Both the pictures
are very fine. You will never get any
better ones. They"
Louisa was aware that the pictures

denly.
The young man flushed from the top
Of his high collar to the top Of his
white forehead
"I can't help IT," he said angrily.
THE firm"
What does he say, Louisa?"
He says he will take the pictures
away. He is a cheat" Louisa could
scarcely keep her voice steady.
Good morning" said the young
man. He was trying vainly to push
the door open without letting go Of
the heavy frames. The latch had
dropped, however. and he was power
less.
What will you do with the pic

Il do not understand. do not

against the wall for an instant, lifted
the latch, seized the picture again,
and pushed the door open with his
foot.
Louisa burst into tears. It seemed
as though she could not let the beau

in German.
The young man WINGED as he felt
his arm caught as though in a wise.
He started to draw 1t back, and Mrs.
Weimer opened the door wide enough
for his arm and the picture to slip
back. He was in a moment again
wholly within the kitchen. There he
fiattened himself against the wall. Be-
fore him stood Mrs. Weimer, her
finger shaking in his face, from her
lips pouring a torrent Of incompre-
hensible words.
Let me CO." he said weakly.
Mrs. Weimer talked on.
'T do not understand you. Let me
go. I am English. 1t is not my
fault. The firm"
Mrs, Weimer caught the drift Of his
words. She had forgotten that he
could not understand her. Her speech
had all been wasted. For a moment
rage held her silent; then her eyes
shone.
Louisa, you go into the front
room," she commanded, in German
Mrs. Weimer did not lose her pres
ence of mind in the greatest Of excite
ment-"and shut the door"
Louisa obeyed, weeping.
"Now!" Mrs. Weimer surveyed the
figure before her, from the wavy black
hair which Louisa so admired, down
to the tips of the pointed shoes. She
wondered how any one could have
such feet.
You" She looked around to be
sure that Louisa had closed the door.
You are a humbug, that is what you
are" she said in plain Millerstown

Through the courtesy Of Congress
man Hawley. the Observer is in pos
session OF the complete record of the
hearing OF the cases OF the early ST.
Ietz homesteaders before the House
committee on public lands. II the bill
shall not become a law. 1t will not be
because the members Of Congress are
not fully advised as to actual condi-
lions in the Siletz country. The hear
ing before the committee brought out
very clearly every contention of the
homeseekers, and the questions asked
and the comment INDUCED in by the
committeeman show that they are
now thoroughly familiar with the sit
uation. That the committee believes
that the early settlers have a strong
case, and are entitled to the relief
asked for. is evidenced by the fact that
six members voted to report the bill
favorably. and only one voted against
such action. If the supporters Of the
measure can only succeed in getting
a vote on II. II now seems certain that
Il viii become a law at this session. |
The only obstacle in the way Is the /
crowded condition Of the House cal .
endar. The session Is nearing its end,
and 50 many authors Of bills covering
important public legislation are clam
oring for recognition that # may prove
a difficult matter to get this special
relief bill before the House. The en-
trymen feel, however. that much has
been gained in obtaining a favorable /
committee report. as the bill will I
doubtless pass with little or no oppo- I
iition n II can once be brought to the Z
attention Of the members OF that body q
With favorable vote in the House. IL a
3 believed that recognition for the y
Measure could easily be secured in the a
ess busy Senate. where. Il is probable.
10 opposition would be urged to its II
lassage. Sadly discouraged by years e.
4 disappointment and by the denial OF h
imple Justice from the Department Of n
he Interior, the early settlers now see G.
ray OF hope ahead. n

Judge Williams.
Mr. Plummer also says that Charles
w Fulton used the words in a speech
at the departure of Judge Williams
from the Republican State Convention
at Astoria. The delegation of which
Mr.. Williams was a member had been
unseated.
1t was following the free silver
fight, which began in 1895 and upon
which the Republicans were badly di-
vided, that / first heard Judge Will
Jams called the Grand Old Man, q"
said Mr. Plummer.
In the Spring of 1898 Sol Hirsch,
who was chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, engineered
an opposition county convention in
Portland and elected a delegation to
attend the state convention at Asto-
ria. They were the free silver people
and were opposed by delegation un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Simon. The
delegation was made up of the regu-
lars, or gold-standard people.
