OF all the summer visitors TO the
county none bring with them so much
OF good cheer and enthusiasm as those
from Pendleton. Everybody from
that city seems to be a "hooster." II
i; is not the Roundup it is something
else. The visitors always are fun OF
life and spirit telling of the good
things being done in their town and
giving the impression that Pendleton
Is a fine. wide-awake city. This con-
tinued cheerfulnesS makes the PEN
dleton men always welcome. Every
door is open to the man bringing a
message of good cheer. Every door
is closed to him who comes with a
long face and tale of depression and
dullness- The chief value of the
Roundup to Pendleton is the spirit
and enthusiasm it infuses into the
IeOple or that city.

Portland has been confronted with
the question as TO whether or not the
Bible should be used
God Is Not in the public schools
Monopoli1ed. and as usual in such
cases the school board
ruled that the great book shall not
be used Il Is feared OF course that
the introduction OF the Bible would
introduce q sectarian element into
the schools and the American consti-
tuition guarantees religious freedom.
There are some well meaning peo-
pie who think that because the Bible
Is barred from the public schools
GOD Is barred II is not the case.
The viii OF God is revealed to man
in many ways, not merely through
the Bible. Every natural law is a
law Of God The schools teach the
laws OF nature and urge obedience to
those laws as q matter OF self protec-
ton. In no other way could the
schools so effectively preach the gos-
pei Of the Lord.
Those who contend that the Bible
alone is divine narrow the subject
All truth is divine. Those who teach
the truth OF preach the truth serve
the Lord. no matter who they are or
where they are. Those who try to
obscure the truth or seek TO block
progress oppose the viii OF the Al
mighty. The purpose Of the schools
is to educate the young by teaching
them the facts OF life insofar as those
facts are aiscernable. AS long as
they DO that the schools teach God
in the truest sense and no man need
worry.

Hamlin caught glimpse of their
backs as they passed out-one in in
fantry fatigue, the other, a heavier
built man, fairly well dressed in citi-
zen's clothes. Inspired by q desire
to see their features the Sergeant
swung himself over the rail, and
dropped lightly to the ground. In an
other moment he was out on the
street, in front of the hotel watching
the open door. The two passed within
a few feet of him, clearly revealed in
the light streaming from the dance
hall. The soldier Jagged somewhat
behind. an Insignificant. rat-faced fell
low, but the larger man walked
straight, with squared shoulders He
wore broad-brimmed hat pulled low
over his eyes, and black beard con-
cealed the lower portion Of his face.
Hamlin followed as the two pushed
their way up among the idle crowds
congregated on the wooden steps, and
peered in through the wide doorway.
Satisfied that he would recognize both
worthless when they met again, and

realizing now something OF the plot

closer toward the sergeant who was
guarding the entrance. The latter
recognized him with nod.

Sergeant Hamlin, how are you

Yes. SIR"
"Of course this is rather unusual
Captain Barrett" said the lady hast
lily, tapping the astonished officer
lightly with her fan, "but was once
quite well acquainted with Sergeant
Hamlin when he was a major of the
Fourth Texas infantry during the late
war. He and my husband were init
mates. Naturally was delighted to
meet him again"
The captain stared at the mans
rigid figure"
Good Lord, never knew that,
Hamlin," he exclaimed. "Glad to
know it, my man. You see," he ex-
planned lamely, "we get all kinds OF
fellows in the ranks, and are not in

She extended her ungloved hand, a
single diamond glittering in the light.
He accepted 1t silently, aware of the
slight pressure of her fingers. Then
the Captain assisted her through the
window, and the falling curtain yelled
them from view.

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building, for the readers of this
paper On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufactures, he
Is, without doubt the highest authority
On all these subjects Address all inquiries
TO William "A. Radford, No. 17S West
Jackson boulevard. Chicago, I'LL. and only
enclose two-cent stamp for reply.
One of the objections sometimes
made to the use of concrete in build
ing construction is the fact that the
finished surface is rough and no at
tempt Is made to give finish to the
surface, either in the molds or after
their removal This is probably due
to an idea that interfering with the
surface would destroy the skin of the
concrete and lessen it's usefulness.
Two methods are now being sue
cessfully employed, giving a finish to
concrete either in nodded blocks, or
monolithic construction in place. The
first Of these methods is to apply
fresh granite to the face of the mold,
which gives it all the finish and dur
ability of granite ashlar. This finish
ing material is ground and sifted into
various sizes, several of which are
employed in making the facing mix
ture, on the same principal as mixing
aggregates so as to fill the voids. The
best proportion is one Of cement to
three of aggregate of different sizes.
A small quantity of hydrated lime is
added, which on account Of it's fine
ness, acts as waterproofing, like
wise preventing the block from stick
ing to the mold. The ingredients are
thoroughly mixed while still dry. The
face Of the mold is wiped clean and
dry. A thin layer of almost dry spar
mixed with little cement mixed with
little Migrated lime is spread on
the plate. On top of this half inch
of ordinary mixture is spread, then a
layer Of rich backing and finally. the
ordinary block mixture which should
be tamped hard.
The above method is the one used
when face down concrete block ma
chine is used, while the reverse proc
cess is used. with face up machine
In this case the grit or feldspar is
sifted dry on the wet cement The
spar may be pressed into the surface
by running roller over it. After it
has set the surface is washed with a

CHAPTER XVIII.
Another Message.

Hamlin sank back on the bench and
leaned his head on his hand. Had any
thing been accomplished by this in
terview? One thing, at least-he had
thoroughly demonstrated that the
charm once exercised over his imagi-
nation by this beautiful woman had
completely vanished. He saw her now
as she was-heartless, selfish, using
her spell Of beauty for her own sordid
ends. If there had been left shred
of romance in his memory of her, it
was now completely shattered. Her
GOODNESS, her adroit changing of
moods, convinced him she was playing
a game. What game? Nothing in her
words had revealed it's nature, yet the
man instinctively felt that it must in
volve Molly Mcdonald. Laboriously
he reviewed, word by word, each SEN
tence exchanged, striving to find some
clew. He had pricked her in the Gas
kins affair, there was no doubt of
that; she knew, or at least suspected,
at first having been married to lie
Fevre, and yet later had been COM
PEELED to acknowledge that marriage.
There then was deliberate false
hood, which must have been told for
a purpose. What purpose? Did she
imagine it would make any difference
with him, or did she seek to shield
LIE Fevre from discovery? The latter
reason appeared the more probable,
for the man must have been in the
neighborhood lately, else where did
that haversack come from?
So engrossed was Hamlin with
these thoughts that he hardly real
lied that some one had lifted the win
dow curtain cautiously. The beam Of
light flashed across him, disappearing
before he could lift his head to ascer-
tain the cause. Then voice spoke,
and he leaned back to listen.
