I tblnk be bad lost It and that was why he was so worried to tblnk that we were not fitted to sup port ourselves. We disobeyed and dis appointed blm In life. Now let us atone as far as we may by obeying bis last wishes. Gilbert, dear, let us learn telegraphy not for the sake of the money, but because he wished It because of what we owe blm." And so we mastered telegraphy, El sie much more readily than I. We bad been full fledged "brass pound ers." with fairly lucrative positions for almost three months preceding the third Christmas. We were.burstlngly proud of our Jobs that's what we called 'em and we felt that our dear old guardian had. In forcing upon us the gift of Independence, bestowed up on us a treasure of greater value than the legacy for which we bad hoped. So wltu no further expectations or hopes concerning the bidden Inher itance and with cheerful resignation to Its loss we met In loving compli ance with bis request for our third and last vigil In bis workroom, with bis many Inventions, wblcb Aunt Ellse kept carefully covered, looking like shrouded ghosts. Aunt Ellse alone of the trio seemed gloomy and despondent "If yon don't find where the money Is bidden tonight 1 suppose we would better plan for yoo to marry Percy Gaines, Elsie," she said as I stepped upon the table to wind the clock, or, ratber. "crank" it, for Its mechanism was set going by giving some dozen turns to a hnndle.protruding from its left side a handle not unlike that of nn old fashioned coffee mill. "But he sort of sniffles, and bis socks and neckties ure so shrill," protested Elsie, referring to Mr. Gaines. Well. then, there's old Mr. Blnney," suggested Aunt Ellse. "I've noticed thnt he is quite neutral In his dress." "But he talks to himself and ges ticulates frightful with bis walking stick," replied Elsie. "1 should be afraid to get near enough to caress blm, and, besides, I think he proposed to me during a brainstorm, and It would be taking an unfair advantage to uccupt. Don't you think him a wee bit diill'y?" she asked mc. "lie's so nutty. Aunt Ellse," I sol emnly nsserurated, "that when he strolls nliont In his nncustrul groves the squirrels puisne hlui." "Dour uie! How extraordinary!" ex claimed literal unit Ellse. "So, you see," observed Ellso, "after all, I had heller marry Gilbert." "I think so. too," 1 agreed. "You see, Aunt Klise, thanks to I'uclo Am brose. 1 cr.ii earn n living for my" Here I broke o.f abruptly and stared, astounded, at that era nioidinnry clock Elsie, with her dear little jaw wigging In sheer amazement, wns staring too. "What are yon two gaping at?" do mauded Amu I. lie In ulimn. "Now, why do you siaio like stuck pigs?" she queried a iimiiionl later, for Elslu and I snt ns If spellbound listening. We found ourselves listening to the now fainlllnr staccato-tapping of a telegraph Instrument. Clear and sharp through the Invisible sounder enme a message lapped by tin unseen key, and mechanically - no, nutouiatlcally our dazed minds caught the message. "Elsie and Gilbert, my Idle girl and boy," ran the nicssngo. "raltersoii lias the money for you. Ask him for It tonight. It Is my Christmas gift to you. .Merry Christmas! God bless you hot li! Goodby!" "The clock:" I gurgled. "It's In the i-lnrk: Listen!" I'or after an Interval of hoarse, eluckllke tlcki the Incssnge was rcncitttul "Now, why are you making such a fuss about that clock?" demanded Aunt Ellse. "That clock never baa had a sane, natural tick. It has al ways made u noise Jus like that." And tills was true. Twice before we hnd held our vigil In the workroom un heeding, while the faithful clock bad patiently delivered the messngo which we failed to comprehend. "There cannot xsslhly be a tele graph Instrument In that clock," de clared Elsie, "but there are little auto matic transmitters with Morse alpha hot record for students, you know." "Elslu," 1 said after I had carefully examined the vitals of that blessed clonk, "you certnlnly are the original Miss Nancy Know It All. There Is an automatic telegraph transmitter In thnt clock. Here's the tnpe!" Klsle eyed the colled strip of paper tape with Its perforations correspond ing to the dots and dashes of the Morce alphabet with much Interest "Now for rnttermn," I Interrupted. "I'll wager thnt he has been chuckling In his sleevs these past three years. I'm going to call him up this Instant. I hope thnt I'll get to rouse him from his benuty sleep," I continued mali ciously Hut In this I wa. disappointed, for he answered the phone promptly. "This is Gilbert Ashcraft spe'.iklng." I began wlUi much dignity. "Miss Elsie Martin ami I would like definite Infor mation concerning the money be queathed ua by Ambrose Itreeii. wblcb he left lu your care." There was n moment's silence; then a chuckle trilled melodiously over the telephone, "Say, young man," said Lawyer Patterson, "you're all right, and Miss Elsie too Great scheme of lliven's, wasn't It? You'll find your hunk books, deHslt slips and other pa pent In the package that I left with your Aunt Ellse yesterday. Merry Christmas: Good night, son." And that's nil, I believe, except that Elsie and t are married, and It Is our present Intention to "live happy ever afterward." We hold dear. wis old Uncle Ambrose In grateful memory, snd we do not permit even thnt fat spoiled rascal, Ambrose Breen Ash craft to tamper with that clock. Pr. F. U Vttor, dontiat. Mssonle tompls. For the benefit of those who do not know, the Journal takes pleasure in an nouncing the fact that the Leehman & Clough Co. have made a large number of alterations and improvements in their undertaking parlors at 445 Court street, which have added greatly to the appearance as well as the convenience of the place. Mr. C. B. Webb, of Portland, who has had a numbeer of years of experience as funeral director and embalmer, has succeeded Mr. Lehman as manager of the business and is ably assisted by the woll known A. M. Clough, who has been connected with the business and has been coroner of Marion county for a number of years, and is now president of the company. Mr. Lehman will not take any active part in the business this enBuing year, except when needed, and' intends spending a greater part of his time on hia ranch near Salem. The company has taken advantage of every modern method known to the bu siness and also enlarged their stock, until now they have practically every thing from bronze caskets and vaults to the cheapest that's made, and are prepared to give service to their pa trons eequal to that of any city on the coast Mr. Webb states that if they are justified in it, they will put in a new anto hearse in the near future. They can be reached by telephone at Main 120, day or night, and will at tend all calls promptly. ADVANCE, WEST INDIA! ( Prom ths New York World.) Among the more important by-prod-lfcts of the Panama canal we are likoly to see the development of another self governing dominion or commonwealth within the British empire. This will consist of the West Indian islands, and perhaps also the continental possess ions of the British crown in Central and South America. These various colonies are collectively much larger in popula tion, commerce and wealth, than is New foundland or even New Zealand. Yet they have no voice in imperial affairs and little influence because of their lack of unity. Of course, thoir geog raphical distribution makes it less easy for them to bo administered undor a common govornmont than a single com munity; loss easy, but not impossible nor even gravoly difficult. For 0, score of years tho question of federation has been intermittently con sidered. Now tho impending opening of the Panama cnnnl and tho prospect of profound changes in comoreinl relation ships havo given to the movement a now impetus and have made its re alization scorn all but essential. O ualS It Is the high quality of Royal Baking Powder that has established its great and world-wide reputation: Every housewife knows she can rely upon it; that it makes the bread and biscuit more deli clous and wholesome always the finest that can be baked. It is economy and every way preferable to use the Royal, whose work is always certain never experimental. There are many Imitation baking powders, made from cheap ingredients. They may cost little per pound, but their use may be at the cost of health.
