GUS consequences. These are grave as
sertions you are making"
Il assume full responsibility for
everything l say here" was Hazard s
calm reply. Now please let me con-
tinue uninterrupted"
And he was not interrupted again;
not until the dramatic climax burst
upon them with crushing force.
Gerard had boyhood friend, by
name Haddon FELTON,, and wher Ger
ard declared his intention of going to
America, FELTON, expressed a deter
mination to accompany him. This
phase of the contemplated journey met
with the opposition of two persons
the elder Mr. Villiers, and gardener
at The Yews named William Hughes.
Their objections, singularly enough,
were based upon identical grounds
vague but none the less powerful dis
trust of Haddon FELTON,. Gerard, how
ever, laughed at his fathers intangible
fears, and Mr. Villiers could not press
his indefinite objections.
Therefore few days later, when
William Hughes came privately to the
father and expressed similar suspicious
of FELTON,, an arrangement was made
whereby the gardener was to follow
his young master secretly, and keep a
watchful eye upon the latter's travel
ing companion, Haddon FELTON,. So
wheE the two friends sailed Hughes
was steerage passenger on the same
steamship; in New York he found en-
ployment in the hotel at which they
stopped; and so on, by similar expedi-
ents he managed to keep near them
without their knowledge.
Several years passed in this way,
and the gardener began to believe that
his suspicious were unwarranted, and
by and by Hughes, with characteristic
frankness, sought out FELTON,, made
himself known to him, told him his
purpose in coming to America and
apologized for his mistaken thoughts.
''Villiers, of course, when he heard
| of Hughes presence in the United
States, was surprised, but at the same
time overjoyed to see him. He found
good position for the faithful serv-
ant in Chicago, and the surveillance
ceased.
However, the two kept in touch
Hughes became lake sailor, and Viii
liers' employment carried him over
vast stretches of country.
For one protesting the warmest
sort of friendship for Villiers, Haddon
FELTON, was singularly affected by
Hughes presence in America. Ger
tain plans of his were upset, and
where before he could act with as
surance he now had to move cautious
ly-fearfully. His affected illness
quickly brought him and his friend to-
gether again; they were soon in a re-
mote region among the mountains;
and he resolved to act boldly.
Nov, from their early boyhood up
to this time there had been an extraor-
binary physical likeness between the
two friends. Perhaps this is what
brought them together; | cannot say.
1t is not that they were doubles, or
that acquaintance would ever mis-
take one for the other; but such a
likeness did exist, and was often COM
mented on in and around Widibald,
and later on in America.
"Felton's plot was fastened by an
unforeseen happening-the death of
Mr. Vill'ers. ST. He saw an advertise
ment inquiring for his friend, and
while he succeeded in keeping the pa
per from Gerard, he knew that sooner

Federal Farm
Loans Popular

That the Federal Farm Loan act
was one of the most popular laws
enacted by the last congress is ev-
ident from report recently made
by officials Of the farm loan board.
This report says that $4,000 farm
ers have applied for mortgage
loans aggregating approximately
$3.50, 100000 or more than IL times
the amount of money that will be
Immediately available for loans up
on the organization of the IL farm
loan banks. Most of the appliea-
lions came from the South and
West. They still continue to come
in by the hundreds every day. Re-
quests for application blanks con-
templating requests for loans to
1000 farmers have come from Iowa
alone. The interest rate is unset
tied, but probably will not exceed
per cent and may not exceed d.
per cent.

TWO CARS LUMBER

Two cars of lumber received by
the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber
comc any this week were sold out
of the cars. One car was unloaded
at Vernita and ore at White Bluffs.
Irwin G. Howard, local manager,
says he had to bid against Sound
companies to land the order for the
White Bluffs car. The $40 month
ly prize offered by the St. Paul
company to its local manager who
can show the greatest increase in
cash sales and collections over the
corresponding month of 1915, was
captured again by Mr.. Howard in
November. AS he was also award
ed the prize for October, he figures
that he is some manager.

Once a User
Always a User

w. w. Leghorn, of Seattle, rep
resenting the Crescent Manufacture
ing company of the same city, was
in town Monday. The Crescent
company manufactures and puts
out a line of teas, coffees, baking
powder, extracts and spices. 1t is
home concern, and in an effort to
interest and acquaint the people of
the state with it's line of goods,
which it pronounces a much supe-
rior article to that put out by a
great many of the foreign concerns,
it has started an advertising cam
paign with the country newspapers
of the state that is quite compre-
hensive in its scope.
Mr.. Leghorn says his company
has taken many medals and prizes
on the quality of it's goods. anc
that the advertising campaign i:
for the purpose of inducing more
people to use it's line. If they car
do this, he says the ads will have
served their purpose, because they
feel sure that "once user of Ores
cent, always a user"
Mr.. Leghorn also said, that while
the Crescent company was not put
ting coupons in its goods any more
they would gladly redeem all coup
ons that were out.

keal Makes Big
Success Raising
Melted Gems

W. H. Keal on Wednesday morn
ing sent out the last shipment of a
fve-ton order of Melted Gem pota-
Toes sold to the dining car service
of the Milwaukee railroad. The
spuds had to be smooth and round
and to weigh not less than one
pound each. While Mr.. Keal re-
fused to state the price received,
he admitted it was quite a little in
excess of the market price.
Incidentally. this man Keal made
real success with his spuds this
year. He planted IL sacks on ap-
proximately 2 acres and harvested
a trifle under 700 sacks that aver
aged between ITO and lis pounds.
He sold the bulk of them for $50
per ton but has saved out better
than 100 sacks of the best ones for
seed for himself and neighbors.
The crop was grown on old alfalfa
ground.
During the recent cold snap he
had them buried in the ground and
for several days he had grave fears
for their safety. He says, how
ever, that when he dug into them
few days ago he found them in
excellent condition, the damage
from freezing being insignificant.

COYOTE HIDES BRING.
VERY HIGH RETURNS

If fur houses continue paying
the prices they aye reported to be
quoting now, several young men in
the valley who find time this win
ter hanging heavily on their hands
will be able to make some easy
money trapping coyotes.
Werner Blair says that while be
has not shipped any furs SO far
this season, the house with whom
he has always done business is Of.
fering him from SO to SIS for coy
ote relts. If the rabies with
which the coyotes in the Richland
territory are infected, spreads, and
it undoubtedly will, this coyote
killing business in the valley will
not only be a profitable venture
but will rid the community of a
rather serious menace.

.anchers Offer
Assistance on
County Roads

In the hope that they can get at
least one, if not two, good roads to
haul their fruit to town next year,
several ranchers are said to have
signified their intention of putting
man and a team on the work for
a week or two at half pay. 1t is
presumed that the county has not
sufficient funds on hand to put
these two roads in a permanent
condition, and it is partly because
there is not much work on the
ranch this season, and partly be-
cause this is the best time in the
year to build roads, that the ranch
ers are willing to make the above
proposition. The two roads are
the one from the Barge corner
north to the Malone corner and the
one from the Sprague corner to the
depot.
The proposition was mentioned
to County Commissioner F. L. Bash
and he said the county would be
glad to enter into such an arrange
ment and that they would send an
engineer in at once to establish
grades. The idea is to make the
|, road permanent by making the
: necessary cuts and fills and give
the top a dressing first of whole
and then of crushed gravel. The
rock crusher for this road district
is now at Hanford.
