and was in his shirtsleeves. There
was a sleepy look on his face-for all
the world like a pig that had just
been reused from slumber in the
straw. The man was Dick Pfxley.
Elsie gaped at him for an incred-
ulous instant until the flash of COM
prehension came. Then she tipped
back her head and the small bell
rang with her laughter.
How do you do, professor. she
mocked and turned on her heel and
ran out past the astonished woman
in the mussy pink wrapper.
TT took some time for the shock
and turmoil to subside. Then she
began to see, in a very SOLDERING man
ner, that the discovery left her with
weighty problem on her hands.
The outcome of her cogitations was
that she stepped into a telegraph
office on Central avenue, where she
wrote a note to Prof. Albert Sey
mour and hired a messenger boy to
deliver 1t. Then she wrote a tele-
gram which she carried away with
her.
A good 20 minutes before s o'clock
she was on that bench in the new,
unpopular, little le-frequented park.
Five minutes before the hour men
toned in her note, Dick Pixley came
into view. She had a piece of yellow
paper in her hand.
I'm not going to argue with you
about IL, Dick, because it's no use"
she began with unmistaka BILE de-
cisiOn. You're a liar and a swim
dler. Mrs. Meggs was coming to see
you tomorrow, but she's not. You're
going to get out of town"
He was sticking out his jaw and
scowling piggily. and about to speak
but she cut him short, peremptorily:
mo use arguing about 1t. You're
going to get out Of town. III give
you II hours, and that's more than
you deserve" She held up the yellow
paper. This is a night telegram to
Mr.. Weems. 1t tells him your ad-
dress and the name you go under.
I'm going to file it as soon as l can
walk up to the telegraph office. He'll
get 1t in the morning. That gives
you u hours start. Now pack up
and get out of town.

He comprehended that she was go
ing to do exactly as she said and
turned his head to glance about, but
nobody was in sight. When he looked
back at her he was very piggy indeed.
but there was nothing funny about it..
He called her name that she had
never expected to hear applied to her
self. There was a flash in which some
subtle sense knew, helplessly, that he
was going TO strike her. The next in
slant she lay on the ground, dazed and
torn with pain.
A FEW minutes past several lodg-
ers on the veranda of the Merri
weather Apartments were paralyzed to
see the young woman who occupied a
thirdfoor rear room come staggering
into view She was all bloody. Her
clothes and hair were in disorder.
Holding the balustrade. she swayed
on her feet and made a supreme effort
to gasp, "A car struck me-" Then she
collapsed on the steps.
The doctor was kindly and loqua-
cious. AS his hands manipulated the
bandageS he commented: Beats all
how an automobile could have hit you
that way. Two ribs broken and that

you in the ribs and in the head"

TAKE US TO MoRNlNGslDE

In the last mail several residents Of Seward received neatly bound and finely illustrated pamphlets describ- ing the beauties of Morningside. Af- ter perusing the pamphlet we feel the urge to go. There is no doubt but that conditions under Dr. Coe are far preferable to those in Alaska, as green fields, nice lawns, neat buildings and immaculate living rooms are shown, and after reading about how the in sane from Alaska are tenderly tucked into their little nighties and sent over to bed with fatherIy oscuIation from the genial superintendent, and pOssi- ply the nurses, about half our popula- tion have started acting queer in hopes of being entertained at the Nut house on the Willamette. There is no doubt but that Alaskas insane are we'll car ed for at MOrningside, and there also is no doubt but that it would cost the Territory more money than it could afford to erect an asylum for the Ter ritory's insane patients.
 At one time we favored AIaska's taking care of her unfortunates but af- ter seeing the illustrations and con- ming the text of the pamphlet sent us we have reniged If we are to be crazy at all, let us be crazy where we want to be. What would it profit an insane person to leave his mind in AL aska and have his body incarcerated in imitation marble walls in the vicin- ity of Portland? Insanity is only fad. Most of us are crazy and are not aware of it. Practically every man of our acquaintance acts queerly at times and if all these are fit subjects for Morningside, why should we be bar red from the tessalated halls of sapor- fife delights of the delightfully."- depict ed playhouse? At Morningside, one awakens to the cackle of the hens and the smell of new mown hay. His soul

ST. PATRICK

Today is St. Patrick's s Day, holi-
 day in some parts of Ireland, and open
 season on all orangemen. Many of Ire lands most prominent citizens have
 been Scotch, French or Italian. Ramon
 De Valera was an Italian, St. Patrick was Frenchman, and Tammany Hall
 was reared in New York.
 Wherever you see a green ribbon
 worn today you will know the wearer
 is not an Irishman. Ireland is dear
 to the most of us on account of the pleasant memories of leaving it for
 America. Ireland's principal indus tries are famines and fights. Most gos-
 son use shillaleh to cut their teeth
 on, and grow up with the laudable
 ambition of becoming policemen. Prac-
 tically all of them succeed.
 Thomas Moore and his brother "Dinty," are the best known among the Irish poets, with Pat O'Cotter a close second. Personally we favor i Moores poetry to Shakespeare as it is shorter and easier to read Pat 1 rick Henry, a celebrated Irish poli- tician, first called attention to condi- tions in the Emerald Isle when he
 exclaimed, Give me liberty or give
 me death." He had his choice and later he died.
 Ireland was governed by a large number of kings before it was con
 quered by Norway, and most of us can claim to have royal blood in our veins. Ireland has produced more poets and politicians, better whiskey
 and prettier colleens than all other
 countries combined St. Patrick is
 reported to have run the snakes out of Ireland, but there is no one who can substantiate his claim.
 The Irish race was invented by the Lord for the purpose of providing op-- 1 timism for the rest of the world Had l Noah been an optimist he would have eaten the dove and not cared whether he found dry land or not. The Irish are the bravest, the most patient and 1 for many years the most persecuted
 of all civilized races, yet they have grown and populated the rest of the world

Comedy nurses wield palm leaf fans over the patients who are coo-coo, and the sweet spell remains unbroken until noontime, when the guests are invited to partake of the viands furnished for the occasion by the Interior Department After at tending to the interior department the patient again listles to the pretty mu- sic or plays with his tootsies until ev- entide, when after further gorging he retires to weave wierd fantasies and count the plaintive calls of the cuckoo clock until Matutu, goddess of morning, rises clothed in her crim- son robes over the green hills of the Columbia.
 There are no restrictions at Morn ingside. The patient has nothing to do save be good, and if this is weary some he only has to be as good as he can. Under the conditions portrayed we look for heavy tourist travel south ward this season, and large part of it will set toward Morningside.
 We know Doc Coe, in an unofficial capacity, and we like him, but long ago we cut him off our visiting list. We now rise to reconsider.

 The clam cannery will employ no people, of which number 40 will be girls and 50 diggers. Flat cans contain ing half pound will be used for the pack. Ordinarily clans are put up in ten ounce cans. It is planned to start running May 1.
 Salmon fishermen for the company will leave Bellingham March 25. About 5 orientals and 20 whites will be em- ployed at the cannery with fifty men at work catching fish.
 MT. Davis, superintendent of the new plant, is taking ten men from Cor dova with him to start clearing the ground for the new buildings, and in another week expects to have the car penters at work.
