 K X ARK had very little idea how N long time would elapse be-
 fore it would, be discovered 4 A that Souri was in his place and he had escaped. 1t might be a few minutes, it might be half an hour. 1t might possibly be not till morning. though of this he had little hope. He believed that within half an hour he would be pursued by bloodhounds.
 He had been about the town enough to know the direction of the river and started toward 1t. He was at home in the water, and determined that he would not attempt to find a boat, but would plunge in and swim for his life. The widfh of the river at Chattanooga was only about three-quarters of a mile, and Mark did not regard this a great distance for good swimmer. Once across the dogs would have to pick up the scent on the other side, and if he should permit the current to carry him far down the stream the difficulty in doing so would be greatly increased.
 a the larger stars had already begun to shine. Casting a glance to the right he saw streak of light over Mission ary ridge and knew that before long he would be at disadvantage from the rising of full moon. He walked briskly whenever any person was ill sight, and when he thought that he was unobserved he ran.
 No one of the few people who passed the strapping negro girl. whose face was hidden within the blue check sun bonnet. dreamed that Union soldier was passing; that the scaffold was be- ing cheated; that a messenger with the secret of one of the most impor- tant moves any Confederate general had made or was destined to make during the war was on his way north in the person of the negro woman hurrying on toward the river. He sped onward, running and walk ing briskly alternately, till he came to place where a board fence was cap ped by narrow strip. He mounted 1t and walked as far as the fence ex- tended, perhaps hundred yards. hop ing by this means to throw the dogs off the scent for a few minutes. and thus gain little time. Then he jump ed down and hurried forward A man passed and called to him. but he paid no attention to the call. and the man stood looking after him, doubtless sus- pecting that the girl was a runaway slave.
 At last the grateful sight of the river met his gaze It cheered him and seemed to beckon him on to rest upon its bosom. or, as an alternative with the dreadful tragedy of the morning, to find oblivion beneath it's surface.

H. w. Doolittle as manager of the
Hotel Marion, the latter having re-
signed about month ago.

MADAM SHERRY TO Be HERE
BEST RECENT COMIC OPERA

The playgoers Of this city and the
surrounding country are all on the
lookout for the coming of Madame
Sherry" to the Grand Opera House
Saturday night, April s, for the air
has been filled with the reports of
its beauty and charm for the past
several months. From far off New
York came its praises, and low that
it has crossed the continent and cap
tured San Francisco quite as COM
pletely as 1t did the East, local play
goers have had even more intimate
opportunity to hear of its superlative
qualities San Francisco has never
seen such perfect production as
Madame Sherry" For three weeks
the most brilliant audiences in the
history of that city packed the Col
umbia Theater to enjoy the perform
ance, and hundreds were turned
away at every performance, unable
to gain admittance. Only four cities
are being visited by Madame Sher-
ry" on its way from San Francisco to

ties and afternoon teas.
1t is stated that guests have pa
tronized the city restaurants on ac-
count of dissatisfaction relative to
the quality of food served in the Mar
ion dining room under the American
plan. Mr.. Savage states that under
the European plan nothing but the
very best quality of food will be
served
Mr.. Doolittle has been manager of
the big hotel since 1t was re-opened
for business last Fall, after approx
mately $16O,0O0 had been spent in
improving the old Willamette hotel
building and in installing new furni-
ture throughout the hotel. No per-
sonal i'll feeling exists between the
stockholders and the retiring mana
ger, after a pleasant relationship of
six months, and Mr. Doolittle is given
credit for hard and conscientious
work by those with whom he has
worked during his connection with
the Marion as manager.

he goes to bed, he is 5000 richer
when he gets through saying his
prayers than when he began, that is
If the weather isn't too cold. And
while he turns over in bed and waits
for sleep to come, he gets from
$4,000 to $4,000 richer And while
he lays in bed in the morning won

he earns couple of thousand dol
lars more. Makes $500 while he
yawns and stretches himself; $500
more while he looks for his slippers;
$1,000 while he takes a morning
bath and cents while he combs his
hair. Jimmy, when the old man
plays golf he is $4,000 richer at the
end of the game than when he began,
and if he makes a good put, earns
ten dollars while the ball is in the
air. He makes ten dollars while he
is getting his handkerchief out of
his pocket to blow his nose. $5 dur

all this, Jimmy, his income Is grow

by which he levies toll on Uncle Sam
and the other big interests, much as
the pirates used to do, his wealth at
compound interest will double in 13
years and 4 months at five per cent,

time, he would have double the trou-

present capital, estimated at $780,

dition would be then, Jimmy, and
what he would have to eat to get
away with his money. No. Jimmy,

you can buy pair of shoes, just
about, for a days income. They will
be, probably, about 10 inches long
and eight inches wide, the two-and
the most they can do is to hurt your
feet or start corns. Why, Jimmy, If
Rocky spent days income for
shoes, the pair would cover three
city blocks in length and two in
width, including the streets. And
his hat, Jimmy, would make an ex-
tinguisher for Mt. Hood, but he
wouldn't have to spend more than a
tenth of his days income for beer, to
make 1t tight fit; for he would at
that rate, have a schooner of regular
diameter 10 miles high, besides the
froth, and this if he spent in proper
tion to what you would get for 10
cents.
"Why, Jimmy, when you get to be
an editor and draw down $25 a week,
you can put your days salary in sill

without feeling for it which pocket II
Is in either, while old Rocky would
have two tons and a half. and be

"Well, Jimmy" said the philosoph-

at that age where he indulged in the
luxury OF thought occasionally,
"what would you do with it; and do
you think you would be any happier?
Don't you know that you would
have to take care of it to keep from
losing it; and investing 1t again
where it would draw dividends and
add to your troubles in that line?"
"Why Jimmy, you can do lots of
things this old ROCKEFELLER as you
call him, cannot do"
"What, for instance?" said the Of
flee factotum.
"Well Jimmy, you are at present

dollar a day. Now for one thing you
can spend a days income, half for
a ball game and the other half for
candy, and get your moneys worth

few tons of sugar. He would then
get outside of $4,000 dozen eggs and
