"He was the man, then, who came

you tell me now why he came here,
JudahT
II have told you / do not know"
Wassaquam replied. "Ben always saw
him; Ben gave him money. I do not
know why"
Alan had been holding his hand over
the papers which he had thrust into
his pocket; he went back into the
smaller library and spread them under
the reading lamp to examine them.
But, as he looked the pages over now,
he felt a chill Of disappointment and
chagrin. They did not contain any
narrative concerning Benjamin Cor
vets life; they did not even relate to
a single event. They were no nara
tive at all. They were-in his first
examination of them, he could not tell
what they were.
They consisted In all Of some dozen
sheets of irregular size, some Of which
had been kept much longer than 9TH
ers, a few Of which even appeared
fresh and new. The three pages
which Alan thought, from their vel
lowed and worn look, must be the old
est, and which must have been kept
for many years, contained only list
Of names and addresses. The remain
ing pages, which he counted as ten
in number contained nearly a hun
dred brief clippings from newspapers;
the clippings had been very carefully
cut out, they had been pasted with
painful regularity on the sheets, and
each had been dated across it's face
dates made with many different pens
and with many different inks, but all
In the same irregular handwriting as
the letter which Alan had received
from Benjamin Corvet.
Alan, his fingers numb In his disap-
pointment, turned and examined all
these pages; but they contained moth
ing else. He read one Of the clippings,
which was dated FEB. 1912"
"The passing away Of one Of the
Oldest residents Of Emmett county oc-

Of last week. Mr.. Fred WesthouSe

nearly the last Of his family, which
was quite well off at one time, Mr..
Westhouse's three brothers and his
father having persisted in various dis
asters upon the lake. His wife died

He read another:

EXTENSION OF REvETMENT
 BEGUN BY ENGINEERS

The big steam pile driver used in the construction of the Snake River Harbor has been removed from the left to the right side of Snake river by the engineers in charge. and will immediately begin the extension of the revetment on the right limit. better known as the West 4etty:
 The driver was transferred across the river on bafges, instead of driv- ing a series of piles as was done at the time of the original revetment work. The heavy storms each year wash across the end of the revet- ment and tend to destroy the sea wall. The government engineers have realized the importance of an extension and the present work is the result of their activity in pro- noting the best interests of the Har- bor project.
