CHAPTER v-continued.

ri can't believe it, Murray It's a
leaf out of the book of Bedlam!
Take fair shot at it and see where
the bullet lands: this entire crazy fake
is built upon one solitary, lonesome
fact-the fact that we're here, with a
fob on our hands big enough to create
an active, present-moment market for
labor and material. There is absolute
ly nothing else behind the bubble
blowing; if we were not here the Nj.

believe it?
'In believe it when I see it," was
Brouillard's reply; and with this the
matter rested for the moment
It was later in the day, an hour or
50 after the serving of the hearty
supper in the engineers mess tent,
that Brouillard was given to see an.
other and still less tolerable side of
his temporary guest. Hosford had
come into the office to plant himself
solidly in the makeshift easy chair for
the smoking of big, black after-sup.

against the opposite porch post. But
tell me, what would you do with your
pot of rainbow gold-if you should
find it?"
Brouillai rose and straightened
himself with his arms over his head
like an athlete testing his muscles for
the fecorc breaking event.
What would l do? A number Of
things. Eat first of all, think. I'd
buy the privilege of telling some won,
an that love her"
She was silent for so long time
that he looked at his watch and
thought Of going. But at the deciding
instant she held him with a low-spo-
ken question.
Does it date back to the handicap?
You needn't tell me if you don't want
to-"
1T does. And there is no reason
why l shouldn't tell you the simple
fact. When my father died he left me
de5t-a debt of honor; and it must
be paid. Until it is paid-but I am
sure you understand"
Quite fully" she responded Quickly.
and now there was no trace of levity
in the sweetly serious tone. rs it
much?-so much that you can't"
He nodded and sat down again on
the porch step. Yes, it is big enough
to go in class by itself-in round
numbers, hundred thousand dollars. "
Horrors" she gasped. And you
are carrying that milestone? Must you
carry it?"
IF you knew the circumstances YOU
would be the first to say that must
carry it, and go on carrying it to the

'But-but you'll never be free!"
Not on a government salary" he
admitted. las a matter of fact, il

In the cutting of the sticks lays half
the secret of making a kite that will

You will likely have to paste together

RICHLAND LOOKS GOOD
TO Mr.. VAN ARSDELL

w. T. VanArsdell, guardian for Miss
Ethel Lewis, who owns one Of the
finest ten-acre tracts within the city
limits of Richland, spent Saturday and
Sunday in town attending to affairs
for his ward. Mr.. VanArsdell, who
is travelling salesman, had intended
moving his family to Richland to live,
while r. d. Sawyer, who has had the
property under lease for the past two
years, would continue to run the place
living elsewhere. However, after go
ing over the matter thoroly when in
Richland, Mr.. VanArsdell decided that
he could not make this place his head
quarters and as a result entered into
longtime lease with his present ten
ant, R. D. Sawyer, to continue on the
ranch as to date.
Mr.. VanArsdell was most enthu-
siastic about Richland stating that he
had had his tract up for sale for the
past two years but from the present
outlook he thought he would hang on
to it as a good investment and would
60 ahead as soon as possible and erect
a silo and other up-to-date improve
ments, with the ultimate idea of an
ideal dairy farm.

GRANGE TO ENTERTAIN
ON ST. PATRlCK'S DAY
pl.ylet Will be Given by Good Cast
and Boxes will be Auctioned

Vale Grange is working hard on an
extensive program to be carried out
IN the evening of st. Patrick's Day
at the Fruitvale school house north OF
R;chland. A basket social will be
held in connection and it is hoped that
. every lady attending will bring bas-
ket SO that the men folks will have no
chance to say that they did not have
chance to spend their money.
The entire entertainment is in the
charge of Lecturer C. M. Foster, who
was for several years a moving pic
ture operator and is a past master in
arranging programs. Two plays are
to be staged while several songs and
Rotations will be rendered during the
course of the evening.
The first .playlet Hector" in which
s series of ridiculous misunderstood
ings take place, will keep the crowd
laughing. The second playlet, ga Big
Day in Bulger," is a genuine Irish
comedy and burlesque love affair COM
bined, that promises to bring down the
house.
Those who have attended affairs
given by this progressive body. of
grangers in the past know that there
Is treat in store for them on March
II which promises to be even a great
a success than any previous attempt.
The stage is being constructed espec-
tally for the affair and better accom-
modations for visitors are being pro-
vided.
The baskets will be sold at auction
at the conclusion of the program; af-
ter supper music will be furnished for
the amusement of the crowd.
The grange earnestly requests as
large delegation of townspeople to
be in attendance as possible as a great
deal of work has been done to make
this affair success and a large crowd
and appreciative audience will COM
pensate in large measure for the
labor involved in the undertaking.

Mrs. F. A. Friermood received n
telegram from Spokane Monday an
nouncing the death Of her brother, Ar
thur Nelson. Mr.. Nelson had been all
ing for years and his death was daily
expected by his relatives here. His
wife and mother were with him to the
end. They bro6ght the body here for
burial and funeral services were held
in the Methodist church Thursday af-
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Mr.. Nelson
came here with his parents six years
ago and has made his home at Rich
land ever since, being thirty-four years
of age at the time of his death. He
leaves a wife, father, mother, brother
and sister to mourn his loss and the
many friends of the family are doing
all possible for them in their hour of
sorrow.
The chicken pie supper and dance
given Washington's birthday evening
by the combined Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs, of Richland, was decided sue
cess, both socially and financially. The
"eats" were delicious and Hastily SER
we'd by the ladies while varied pro-
gram of music and recitations was,
rendered during the progress Of the
banquet. Several autos came from
Hanford and Kennewick loaded with
people out for the time of their lives
and they surely had It.. Two govern
ment marketing experts came up from
Kennewick to address the Richland
ranchers after the banquet and their
timely remarks along the line Of dis
posing of the 1916 crops were listened
to with great deal Of interest by all
in attendance. After the talk by the
government officials, the floor was
cleared, the orchestra tuned up and
dancing was enjoyed until a late hour.
It was an enjoyable event in Richland
history and will be looked back to
with great pleasure by the lodges and
their guests alike.
The Ladies' Aid Of the Methodist
church announces a cap social to be
held in the parlors Of the church Sat-
urday evening, February 26. This
need not conflict with the high school
basketball game scheduled to take
place that evening between Kennewick
and Richland as it will simply mean
that all who attend the game can sim
ply adjourn to the church when the
game is over and there secure cup Of
fine warm coffee and big piece of
cake for the small sum of ten cents.
Each lady who attends the social is re-
quested to bring two caps made of pa
per; crepe paper or any old kind
providing both caps are identical in
shape and color. These caps will be
used to determine partners for the
evenings entertainment. A fine pro-
gram will be rendered including Sc
lections on the Victrola which has been
kindly placed at the disposal of the
ladies by Waldo Louckes, as well as
SeVerdi VOCAL anu OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NUM-
bers. All this can be had, as well as
the "eats" for the small sum Of ten
cents and everyone should turn out
for the occasion and have regular
old-fashioned social time. Come after
the game as there will be plenty left
for all and cup of hot coffee will be
just the thing over which to discuss
the merits Of the respective teams.

sue OF the d8n1OrO COiumDl0n we no
tice that the editor, Perry Willoughby
announces the demise of the up-river
paper and also the fact that he has
purchased the Richland Advocate and
will leave Hanford shortly to make his
future home in Richland. It is to be
regretted that business was such that
the Columbian had to be discontinued
but if such was the case the people of
Richland are to be congratulated that
Mr.. Willoughby has decided on this
town as his future field Of operations
as he certainly is live wire in the
newspaper business and the future Of
the Advocate under his management
looks very bright indeed.
A. S. Rosaaen, manager Of the Rich
land branch of the st. Paul & Tacoma
Lumber company, reports that busi-
ness for this year to date nearly
doubles that for 1915. Mr.. Rosaaen
nearly had to close up shop the other
day on account of the fact that his
yard was practically stripped of all
available lumber. However, large
consignment viii be rushed forward
to him so that no one in need Of build
ing material will have to wait. This
certainly looks good for the year 1916
as people cannot build unless they
have money and if the present demand
for lumber is any indication the year
1916 will be away ahead Of previous
years as regards general prosperity.

KNOXVILLE AFTER MOBILE FRANCHISE
 FOR NEXT SEASON
Failure to Secure Chatta- nOOga Franchise Does Not End the Fans
 Ambition

Knoxville, December 1.-Although Chat tanooga fans raised the required amount to hold the Lookout baseball club fran chise and Knoxville did not secure the coveted honor, all hopes are not gone. as the Mobile franchise is on the market and a few Knoxville financiers are now corresponding with the owners relative to the purchase of that club.
 As it has always been since the dawn of civilization, man bows to woman and the local sporting financiers will take no definite steps until after the close of the Y. W. c. A. campaign. The ladies are striving hard to raise $125,0O0 for new home and local business men are at present giving their time as we'll as cash to the project.
 The fans of Chattanooga had very narrow escape from losing their status in class "A' baseball society. The own CTS of the club, on account of other in- terests, were forced to get out of the game they had played with such sue cess and placed the franchise on the mar ket. Hugh M. Johnston and several if nanciers of Knoxville immediately put in a substantial bid for the franchise and it looked for awhile as if Knoxville would secure a berth in the Southern league.
 The Chattanooga fans at first thought their magnates were not in earnest and were little slow in starting a campaign to raise the amount required to hold their club They were finally given until Monday, when the Knoxville bid was to have been accepted if they had not raised the necessary amount. To their credit, however, the fans of Ross Landing showed their sporting spirit and within few days raised the money and saved the franchise.
 When seen yesterday, MT. Johnston said '.All hopes are not gone, as the Mobile franchise is also for sale"
 The Knoxville Board of Commerce has been in communication with the Mobile club owners for sometime The dicker- ing has been in progress for month or more, but it is understood that the Mo bile magnates are trying to "hold up'' the, local financiers. Now east Tennessee citizens, ranging from the sturdy noun taineer to the bank presidents, are known far and wide for their "tradin' '' qualities and if Mobile really wants to sell she will have to come down off her perch and listen to reason.
 MT. Johnston said Tuesday that just as soon as the Y. w. c. A. campaign closes the matter will be taken up again with the Mobile owners. If the club can be purchased at a reasonable price the money is at hand to take over the fran chise and. Knoxville will step into the strata of baseball society her population and progressive spirit entitle her.
