Two Birds Of Passage.

shining through a trnnsom. beckoned.
Boldly O'Neill pushed open the door.
To the knowing nostrils of the two
birds OF passage was waited the odor
they loved. the unique inky odor Of a
newspaper shop. Their eyes beheld a
rather bare room. a typewriter or two.
a desk. In the center Of the room was
a small table under an electric lamp.
On this table was a bottle and glasses,
and mt II two silent men played poker.
One of the men was burly and beard
ed: the other was slight, pale. nervous.
From an inner room came the click
of linotypes-lonesome linotypes that
seemed to have strayed far from their
native haunts.
The two men finished playing the
hand and looked up.
Good evening" said O'Neiil. with a
smile that had drawn news as a mag
net draws steel in many odd corners.
Gentlemen, -four newspaper men meet
In a strange land. I perceive you have

discovered two extra glasses on a near

He removed the copy from O'Neilfs

when the door was opened furiously
and a painting man stood inside. Mr..
Henry Trimmers keen eye surveyed
the scene.

O'Neill stared at him sorrowfuIly.
'Have you been reading the Duchess

rowbyr
"Do you neal to say you don't
know; Where have you been buried
alive?"
Out Of the inner room glided Manuel
Gonzale, and, recognizing him. Mr..
Trimmer poured into his ear the story
of Georges disappearance. Mr.. Con.

"A good story" he said. a very
good story. THINK you, n thousand

With u scornfui glance at the two
strangers, Mr.. Trimmer went out. and

What Makes the Chinook Wind p?

Geo. Siverly an old time resident Of
the White river valley above Wenat-
chez lake was here yesterday and said
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
all the country above the lake was en-
joying spring like weather due to a
strong Chinook wind that blew for three
days. Monday and Tuesday nights
considerable rain fell and more than
half the snow disappeared. The Chi
nook passed over our heads. 1t never
came to earth in this vicinity. Those
Chinook winds are among the climatic
curiosities OF this latitude. The Their
mometer may be down to zero but let
one OF those Indian named winds
spring up-they always come across the
mountains-and in few minutes one
begins to think OF linen busters and ice
water Weather wiseacres when they
discuss Chinooks always talk about the
Gulf current, trade winds and lot OF
other ogical things.
