II would nightly like to be able

Dr fruit in package represented to
contain superior fruit,' said W.
?. Sawyer, of Wapato, one OF the
largest growers of pears in the val
ley, in talk on packing pears.
The reason is that no unknown
fruit is ever bought without inspec
tion.a Our boxes are the easiest
. things in the world to examine,
1 and they are always opened on the
side, and dug into clear to the cen
ter, nothing being hidden. A
whole shipment will be rated down
tothe grade Of the poorest stuff that
they contain.
1t is not necessary that one
should be honest to make him
pack bis fruit honestly, because it is
the only way that he can get a price
fof it; and if he will but use a grain
ofsense he will grade and pack his
fruit the very best that he knows,
orcan learn, how. The only ones
harmed by slovenly and dishonest
packing are those who do it, and

Capt. Nathaniel Plum of the sloop, Ty,-
phoon, lands secretly on Beaver island
of the Mormons. Obadiah
Price, Mormon councillor, confronts him,
the ammunition aboard the sloop. He
binds Nat by a solemn oath to deliver a
package to Frank in Pierce, president. Of
the United States. Near Prices cabin
Nat sees the frightened face Of a yCsInS
woman who disappears In the darkness,
leaving an odor of lilacs. 1t develops that

Element of the king, Strang, for the loot
ing of his sloop by Mormons: Price shows
Nat the kings palace, and through
window he sees the lady OF the ilacs,
who Price says is the kings seventh wife.
Calling at the king office Nat is warned
by young woman that his life is in dan
ger. Strang processes indignation when
he hears Mats grievance and promises to
punish the guilty. Nat rescues Neil, who
is being publicly whipped and the king
orders the sheriff. Arbor Croche, to pur-
sue and kill the two men, Plum, learns
that Marion, the girl of the lilacs, is
Neirs sister. The two men plan to escape
on Mats sloop and take Marion and
Winnsome, daughter of Arbor Croche,
and sweetheart of Neil. Nat discovers
that the sloop is gone. Marion tells him
that his ship has been seized by the Nor
mons. She begs him to leave the island.
telling him that nothing can save her
from Strang, whom she is doomed to mar
ry. Plum finds Price raving mad. RecoV-
ering, he tells Nat that Strang is doomed,
that armed men are descending on the
island. Nat learns that Marion has been
to the castle by Strang. Nat
kills Arbor Croche and after desperate
fight with the king, leaves him for dead.
The avenging host from the mainland de-
sends on ST. James. Neil and Nat take
a part in the battle and the latter is

had killed, orders him thrown into dun

like the thrilling twinges Of an cleo
trio shock. He darted across the cell
and found Marion's brother with his
shoulder against the door.
Its open!" he whispered. THE
door-is-open."
The hinges creaked under his
weight. A current of air struck them
in the face Another instant and they
stood in the corridor, listening, crush
ing back the breath in their lungs, not
daring to speak. Gently Neil drew his
companion back into the cell.
"There's a chance-one chance IN
ten thousand!" he whispered. AT
the end of this corridor there is
door-the jailers door. If that's not
locked, we can make a run for 1t! Ia
rather die fighting-than here!'
He slipped out again, pressing Ma
thaniel back.
"Wait for me-"
Nathaniel heard him stealing slow
ly through the blackness. A minute
later he returned.
Locked" he exclaimed.
In the opposite direction a ray OF
! light caught Nathaniel's eye.
Where does that light come from?''
he asked.
Through a hole about as big as
your two hands. 1t was made for a
stove pipe. If we were up there we
could see into the jury room"
They moved quietly down the cor
ridor until they stood under the aper
ture, which was four or five feet
above their heads. Through it they
could hear the sounds of voices but
could not distinguish the words that
were being spoken.

in devil Of hurry! l wonder why?'
Nathaniel could feel his companion
shrug himself in the darkness.
'Lord-for my revolver!" he whis
pered excitedly. "One shot through
that hole would be worth a thousand
notes to the girls!" He caught Ma
rion's brother by the arm as voice

CHEAP MILK REFRIGERATOR
A Wooden Box and a Tin Pail the
Essentials for Serviceable
Ice Box.

If milk is not kept cold it is a dan
gerous food for babies, for every min
ute that it is much above the tenn
perature of ice the germs of disease
increase in it at an alarming rate.
Very many babies die of summer COM
plant merely because their milk has
been allowed to stand for hours in
warm room.
Many are unable to buy enough ice
in summer to preserve milk in ord1-
nary refrigerators for twenty-four
hours. Most mothers, however, buy
a five or ten-cent cake every morning
and by following the suggestion OF
DR.. Alfred F. Hess can make at home
at small cost an excellent milk re-
frigerator that requires only very
little ice:
obtain a box from the grocer; any
wooden box a foot in depth will an
swer the purpose. Buy tin pail
with a cover, one deep enough to hold
quart bottle of milk and a slightly
larger pail without cover Place
one inside the other and stand them
in the center of the box. Now pack
sawdust or excelsior beneath and all
about them to keep the heat from
getting in; complete the refrigerator
by mailing about fifty layers of news
paper to the under surface Of the box
| cover
"The refrigerator is now ready for
USE In the morning as soon as the
milk is received it should be placed in
the pail and five cents worth Of ice
should be cracked and placed about
the milk bottle. The cover should be
replaced on the can and the lid on the
wooden box. Every morning the melt
| ed ice should BE poured off. "--Survey-

Nathaniel rose slowly from the
bench and came to his side.
'She won't do that" he groaned.
"My God-she won't do that"
Neil's face was blanched to the
whiteness of paper.
"She WILL" he repeated quietly.
Her terrible pact with Strang will
have been fulfilled. And IL am
glad-glad-"
He raised his arms to the dripping
blackness of the dungeon ceiling, his
voice shaking with a cold, stif1ed
anguish. Nathaniel drew back from
that tall, straight figure, step by step,
as though to hide beyond the flicker
ing candle glow the betrayal that had
come into his face, the blazing fire
that seemed burning out his eyes. II
what Neil had said was true
Something choked him as he
dropped alone upon the bench.
If it was true-Marion was dead!
He dropped his head in his hands
and sat for a long time in silence
listening to Neil as he walked tireless
ly over the muddy earth. Not until
there came rafting of the chain at
the cell door and a creaking of the
rusty hinges did he lift his face. 1t
was the jailer with huge armful OF
straw. He saw Neil approach him
after he had thrown it down. Their
low voices came to him in an indis
tinct murmur After a little he caught
the sound of the chinking gold pieces

Nathaniel did not speak, and after
a moments silence Neil continued:
''The jury is assembling. We will
know our fate very soon"
He rose to his feet, his words quiv
ering with nervous excitement, and
Nathaniel heard him kicking about in
the straw. In another breath his
voice Kissed through the gloom in a
sharp, startled command:
Good God, Nat, come here!'
Something in the strange fierceness
of Neirs words startled Nathaniel

He brought out shimmering hand

the table.

deliver that note" he said.
Neil stared at him in amazement.
"If he won't take it for that--IVe

Neil stood silent, wondering if his
companion was mad. Nathaniel saw
the look in his face and his own
flushed with sudden excitement.

"0regOn" Subject of Thesis.

The commonwealth of Oregon was
given boost recently in the thesis Of
Miss Sarah Anne Isenberg, of Alex.
ander, Pa, the l6 year old neice of Nj.
p. lsenberg OF this city who recently
graduated from the high school at
Alexander.
The following are excerpts from
Miss lsenberg's essay Fruits of all
kirds, except those peculiar to the
tropical countries, grow to perfection
in Oregon. Apples from Oregon are
marketed in Europe and all over the
United States. An exhibit from the
state captured the first prize at the
Chicago Land Show last Fall. Pears,
Prunes, strawberries and other small
fruits are shipped to local markets and
outside of the state.
while the area of Oregon is twice
as great as that of the state of Penn
sylvania, yet the city of Philadelphia
has population more than double that
of the entire state. Thus we can
partly realize why Oregon is pleading
with the young and middle aged of the
overcrowded east to come and take ad-
vantage of her undeveloped resources.
millions of dollars are waiting the
hand of development. The mountains
of the state are high and hold reser-
voirs of snow that give a plentiful
supply of water the year round. The
streams are rapid and for the most
port of rock bottom and with deep
gorges. Thus a half of the labor on
the idle streams of the state has al
ready been done by nature. -
