ing his sullen jealousy, until at
Magdalena's gate he had heard a
silver-toned laugh, gay and sweet,
tinkling like-God! What was
that?
Valencia stood, trembling in
every cowardly fibre. A silver
tinkle, resounding,l among the
rocks, had seemed so near that
he could have sworn that Mag
dalena herself had laughed. But
Magdalena was dead.-lying back
there with the life gone out Of her
torn white breast. ~ tstGa N
He cast one terrified glance be-.
-hinds the road r~vas clear. The
sound had seemed to come from
point just ahead of him, where the
trail wound up over a heap of
ragged rocks. In burning haste he
pressed on, the chill of the shock
changed to a fever of terror. He
must get away, down into the wide
world beyond the mountains; the
wide world that all his life he had
been too lazy to desire.
Too lazy. It was this that had
made him fix upon Magdalena as
an easy prize. She was pretty,
prettier far than any of the others,
and SO young that she knew no
better than to glory in her con-
quest of him. To have wrested
him away from the more assured
charms of the older woman had
seemed to her triumph indeed.
And when Tonia had passed them
chatting at the garden gate Mag
dalena had laughed for very JOY
had laughed hke--like-
Again Valencia paused, shaken,
trembling, cinging to a thorny
shrub for support. Again that sill
yer tinkle had rung out, and was
echoing family and sweetly in the
vast silence of the mountain
heights. He sank weakly down t,
the earth. What DEVILS magic was
this! No one was near; no one
could be; and yet that sound was
like nothing else in the world but
Magdalena's laugh, that care-free
music bubbling up from the pure
depths Of her happy heart. But
her heart was stilled; never more
would laughter we'll up from it,
as it lad on the nights that he had
sat in her garden and had sung to
her the songs that he had made
for Tonia.. Dcad-the child Mag
dalena--the child who had grown
woman before his eyes. He hur-
ried on, pushing aside the scene
that rose before him.
What was it he had said to her
about not being able to remain !?
What excuse had he made? He
could not recall his words; he
knew only that Tonia had beck
oned him back, and that he was
going to her. Magdalena, with an
her child-woman's witcheries, could
not hold him. And Magdalena,
stung to the soul, had realised that
he had only played with her to
win back Tomas uncertain fancy.
He could see now what he had
been too dull to read in the girls
pallid, tragic face; the shame OF
having been made an instrument
for his vanity; the self-eontempt
that pronounced her wholly un-
worthy of Luis; the certainty that
Tonia would laugh now, and that
the whole village would laugh with
her. sslr

The Bells of Fate-By Charlotte Canty

@HIQUITA, the little burro be-
I longing to the American
doctor, had wandered away
from the spot where the doctor
had left her. He had sprung from
her back with a force that set all
her silver bells a jangle, as he
fastened into the garden, where a
crowd of women sobbed and clung
about the dead body of Magdalena.
The loveliest of the village girls
lay with her dagger thrust into her
ssioud-white. breast. sr-------.--s--
Nothing Of this Chiquita knew,
but she knew the trail over the
mountain, for only three days ago
she had covered it, carrying the
doctor from the big city to the
quaint Spanish town in the deep
valley. Back over the trail she
started, steppln;. lightly and softly,
so softly that only the very rough
bits of road called forth the
tinkling music of her bells.
But Valencia, crouching beneath
the mesquite bushes on the hill
side above the house, knew all of
the tragedy and more. He had
waited, hoping that there might be
some mistake; that Magdalena
might have struck blow less true
than she threatened. But there
was no mistake Magjalcna was
dead; past the shame of having
been tricked by him, played with
to rouse the jealousy OF the woman
he preferred. And his towards
heart trembled as he listened to
the broken voices from below, for
the cry of the moment was, "Who
is to tell Luis?"
Luis would come in from the
Rancho de los Cerritos at sunset to
spend his Sunday with Magdalena.
One Sunday out of each month he
came, and It was since his last visit
that all of this mischief had been
done. Valencia, his narrow face
working, cursed Luis and himself
and the whimsical Tonia, at whose
tickle heels he had danced these
two years past. But for her cold
ness he would not have dreamed Of
setting up this fiirtation; and
surely he would not have selected
Magdalena il he had thought Of
Luis. For Luis vas bold and fear
less, and Valencia was a coward.
And Luis was coming-even now
he might be riding into the town!
Valencia crcpt up the hillside,
keeping under the shade of the
bushes, but fastening to get out of
earshot of the CT ying voices below.
Luis could crush him---break him
in two--and Valencia knew that he
would do it. He must get away,
and at once. Not to any Of the
big ranches, forsno one would take
him in now. The mountain trail
was his only hope; once across the
divide, he might feel himself safe,
but nowhere on this side of the
mountains would there be refuge
for him.
Fear dashed him into swift ac-
tion; the lazy length Of his body
responded to the new appeal, and
at sunset he found himself h,gh
on mountain peak, looking down
into deep shaded canyons where
the night lay in wait. Faint, tear
white stars were trembling in the
sky, but Valencia saw only the
shadows, creeping slowly up the
mountainside.
He could not stop for the night;
night or day, Luis was sure to fol
low him. Again he cursed the luck
that had led him past Magdslena's
garden gate the night that Il had
pleased Tonia to give her smiles TO
q wandering musician. He had
gone blindly down the road, nurs-

But Hoodless shook his head
with an oddly unfamiliar OBJ

"Look here, Dick, be reason

of thing. They are brutes. Any

Evidently he had taken thought,
realizing. that there would be little
reward forthcoming if in his ca
gerness he had led his employers
into a fatal encounter.
He muttered something about
the shifting light of the sunset
making it difficult to see well
enough for good shooting in the
valley; that the lespards would not

probably their den was in the

Dick Marchurst stepped to the
tent flap, looking out.
The night was falling with the
extraordinary swiftness that never
fails to amaze those strange to the
tropics. The glory of the sky had
already departed, the purple veil
of shadow was deepening to black,
and the stars were leaping out.
The fires of thorn scrub were
cracking round the camp and the

In order to keep the living expenses
of teachers attending the summer nor
NAL school within a reasonable limit
the committee in charge has set a
maximum of IS a month to be charg-
ed for a single room and $12 month
for. room occupied by two tachers.
This limitation together with special
rates made by eating houses and a
luncheon to be served at cost at the
high school will make the average ex-
pense per teacher $36 month.
In contrast with this Monmouth is
offering rate of $2S month for liv-
ing in residences and s24 a month in
the dormitory while at Ashland the
expense will be '$30 a month.
The committee does not regard it as
possible to meet the living expenses at
Ashland or Monmouth but holds that
the $@6 a month limit must be OBJ
served IL the summer normal Is to

The merits of the Columbia basin

organization steps were taken with the
hope oil having the project built
through a special appropriation BY
congress for this single project, the
sum asked being $250,000, 900. How
ever the views of the conference, rs
expressed by resolutions, is that the
IL $jeet-does not propose to forego in
definitely asking for funds under the
McNary-Smith bill II that measure is
tdopted by congress and special APP
preparation cannot be secured for the
Colombia basin project
On this subject a two hour discus
sion ensued in the committee on res
clutions of which committee E. B.
Aldrich of Pendleton was a member.
In behalf of the Pendleton delegation
3 esolution commencing the U'matilla
rapids project was submitted. This
resolution as well as similar one re-
lating to the Five Mile rapids projects

committee on the ground the Column
