6 THE LEDFORD MAIL TRLBXJNE, MEDFORD, OREO ON. TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1910. The Girl From the Effete East By ARTHUR DENSMORC CaprrifhL 1909. by Amtrlo Tr A-oclttion B IARIUNUTON was completing his Urst year of practice when Theodore Tuppentiolm arrirl In Knucklcvllle. Mr. Tappen- holm was soiling stock In tho Charita ble Gold Mining company at B cent per share, price to adrancc to 10 cento at tin- end of thirty days. Incidentally be found time to foHtcr tn Barrington'a boson the spirit of discontent which ten months' fruitless waiting for clients bad engendered. If he were derer, clean est young man ilka Baniagtoo. did Barrlngton know what he'd do? Move west. He wouldn't fritter away ala time la a mossbacked Xcw Eng land hamlet where people looked down en a fellow Just because they'd known him all his life and could remember when be was a little shaver and went with patches on his trousers. No. sir. He'd Just gather together his earthly possessions and take the first train for UUt Gulch, Nev. There waa the coming town; there lay the oppor tunity for an able young maa to rise. No reason in the world why he should aot be In the United States senate Within Ave years. That would be com ing some? Well, everybody and every thing came some in that country. Why, sir, where the thriving city of GUt Gulch now stood there had been Jess than two years since naught but sagebrush and nlkalL And now look at it Just look at itl Six thousand inhabitants and more coming by every train! Simply couldn't get houses up iast enough for 'i-tu Qud to camp out la tents. And every blamed one of em making money. Why. sir, you couldn't find a bootblack tn Gilt Gulch Who was worth less than fifty thou sand! This vision of wealth and political prominence was quite too much for Barrlngton. lie adjusted his affairs 1b Knucklevllle. which was no very difficult matter, took tearful leave of aumerous relatives and of a certain pretty damsel, who was not yet a rel ative, but had rashly promised to be come one whenever Harrington's in come should suffice for the "support of two persons, and bled himself to 'Gilt Gulch, promising to send souvenir post ards from every municipality he pass ed through on the way. Now, underneath the lurid exagger ation with which Mr. Theodore Tup pennelsi had clothed his narrative of tae rise of Gilt Gulch there lay a re spectable substratum of truth, and the combination of Harrington's ingenious appearance with certain letters of In troduction to persons financially prom inent In Gilt Gulch, which Mr. Tup penbeim procured for him, resulted in hla speedily establishing a thriving practice. For the most part It was work In connection with the location f mining claims, and, besides numer ous fees In cash, Barrlngton acquired several claims of hla own, which b disposed of profitably. In brief, at the end of a year Bar rlngton bad waxed so prosperous as to feel himself warranted in marrying. Tn- Knucklevllle Weekly Times an nounced editorially that it understooo that young Mr. Barrlngton. for whom. so rapidly achieved, Let Win stop caviling. Mid the virtuous Harrington to himself, and neck success by lend iug n sober life, as ho did. Peeling that hi hud been Insulted. Barrlngton thereafter conllned his communications with Hartford to curt "How are you?" accoiupnulcd by n barely perceptible noil when they chanced to meet. It was with a good deal of surprise, therefore, that Hart' ford, glaiicing up from his rather til lapidated desk as tin heard tlio door open, perceived narrlugton eutering his office. One had not to look at Bar rlngton twice to bo convinced that ho was badly frlghteued. Ills -eyes, which ordinarily regarded those about him with an air of easy toleration, were wide with terror, and hla well chisel ed features, customarily wearing an air ot placid conceit, were now white and drawn. Ills manner toward Hart ford was ao longer supercilious. All hk carefully constructed attitude of dignity had vanished, "You've been In this part of the country longer than' I have, Hartford." said he. "I want your advlcs as a a, friend, you know." Hartford nodded and withdrew his pipe from hla lips. -Sure,H said he succinctly. "What's the row?" "Why, you see," said Harrington, "It eecms that in filing the papers for Jim Busby oa that last raining claim of his I made a slight error. I have teen doing a large business, you know, Hartford a very largo business and it was Inevitable that I should make a mistake occasionally. It seems that some unscrupulous persons have taken advantage of this purely technical slip and have Jumped Busby's claim, and he to very much exercised about It." "I should thluk he might be," Hart ford observed. "Yes," repeated Barrlngton. "he Is much exercised and quite unreason able about it. He came into my office a fe,w moments ago and demand ed an explanation. Of course I couldn't tell blm anything except that it was Just a mistake such as any man might make, and he said I was lying to him He said I was too smart to make a fool break like that and that I was In with the gang that were trying to do him out of a claim that would have made him rich. I argued with him tho best I could, but It didn't budge him. He said he didn't see that it made much difference, anyhow, wheth er I was a fool or a knave, because cither way I hadn't any right to lire, and he wound up by saying that he'd Just go down to thr Jolly Dog and get a few drinks to put bitn in the right frame of mind and thn he'd come back and reduce the membership of the Gilt Gulch bar by one.' It Is significant of Hartford' broad and tolerant temperament I hit be did not remind Harrington that N- h-n' previously predicted stir-h n :.(. :ni phe a bad turn befallen N'evert'ie less n sllubt slimmer f tiiiiieiiii'tit stole acrosH liU face. "So you wain uiy advice, do you?" he asked. "I should appreciate it very much." said Barrlngton. "Well, you shall bnve it," said Hart ford laconically, rapping the bowl of bis. pipe against the heel of his shoe. "If Jim Busby were out gunning for me and I couldn't shoot any-better than you can, and I had a comfortable little sum -saved, as you have, and there were a pretty girl in New Eng land who didn't know any better than to love me, as she does you, I'd go east on the half past 2 train, and I wouldn't hurry back." "Bat the trouble Is," Barrlngton ex plained. "Susie Miss Cutler, that Is will be here on the train that gets In at 2:50. The trains pass on the first perspiring" rain crow succeeded In t pint lug the derailed car, and the freight miln pulled slowly out upon n siding IJvcn as It did so Harrington caught Might of the '2'M train as It rounded the curve Just beyond the sta tion A moment later Susie Cutler, her trim little figure set off by n skillfully tailored gray traveling suit and her face wearing the look of determination befitting n girl who lnul Just completed a Journey uenrly across the continent alone, descended to the platform of Gilt Gulch station. Harrington rushed toward her Joyfully. Within three steps of her ho encountered nu obsta clea very serious obstacle. This was nothlug less than the raucslo of a re volver. Behind tho revolver stood Mr. James Busby, 'Now, young man," said Mr. Busby, "we'll attend to your little matter, and we won't lw long doing It" Then Busby became suddenly con scious of a voice, -evidently feminine, proceeding from some point in bin rear and of the light pressure of a band upon his arm. "Do you know," said the voice. ""It's dreadfully careless of you pointing that thing at anybody o. Why. it might go off." Turning about. Busby looked into the piquant features of Suslo Cutler. n decided unhesitatingly that, not withstanding some freckles and the tendency of the nose to turn up. It was a rather pleasing face to view. "So it might." said Busby slowly. "So It might." "Well, then, stop aiming it at Har Mr. Barrlngton." she commanded. "You make me nervous." "Fact Is," satd Busby, "I was sort of planning to shoot Mr. Barrlngton." He had lowered his weapon and spoke very calmly and deliberately. "Whatr shrieked the girl. "You have the audacity to stand there and tell me you mean to commit a cold blooded murder? Where are the po lice? A splendid place this must be to live in. where a man goes out to kill another as coolly as he'd eat his breakfastr "That's the way with all you folks from out Iloutou way," grumbled Bus by. "You're always getting murder and the administration of Justice mixed. 1 ain't going to murder him. I'm going to execute him. He's done me dirt, nud If he ain't killed he'll do somebody else dirt. So for the good of everybody he'd ought to be shot. What do you care anyway? Alu't no relative of yourn. Is he?" "Why. uo." she answered In some confusion, "he isn't a relative exactly -that Is. he" EDEN PRECINCT ITEMS Mr. nml Mrs. Willis Honry wo'o Tnlent visitors Inst Sunday, Mr. nml Mrs. C.

Howsomerer. if you stick to It that you don't want blm shot and If you'll take him out of Nevada and keep blm out" The girl did not wait for him to tin ts h. She transferred her grasp from Busby's arm to that of Uarrlugtou. who during the preceding conversation had stood silent, his face white. hl limbs trembling, cold sweat liwullm: his forehead. "Come, Harry." she sold Imperiously. Meekly, with bowed bead and down cast eyes, Barrlngton suffered her m lead him aboard the train, which wa now, the track being clear, about ! move eastward.

Barrlngton was lu the state of ecstasy appropriate to such circumutancori. It was in this moment of supremo bappluess that misfortune befell him.

Ingalls was directing some remarks to Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. Tho other senutor from tua.t state, Mr. Dawes, having come in while Mr. In galls was shaking, thought the words were meant for his eur. nud so, inter rupting, he asked ingalls tf he wus di recting the remarks at him. The Kan sas seuator turned slowly around, for Mr. Dawes sat behind blm, and then, with delicious Intonation, but an in stnnt wit. he said. "I was directing ray remarks to tho successor of Charles Sumner and not to the successor of Daniel Webster." The repartee has become traditional, and the utterance was at once pluced alongside of that reply of Coukllng to Seuator Thurmau. which Is also traditional In the senate chamber, Conkllng wa spenUlug. and Tliur man hud said, Interrupting blm, "Does the senator aim bis remarks at ine: he constantly turns to me?" when Mi Conkllng, with delicious gravity, bow ing to Thurman. with whom he was very friendly, said: "Whcp 1 turn to the senutor I turn us the Mussulman turns to Mecca; I turn as I would turn to the common law of England the world's most copious fount of Jurisprudence."
