THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1896. , ICopyrlght, 1895, by J. B. Llpplncott Co. ' V.' A VENTURESOME VISIT. The preliminary lines of Mrs. Lud low's match-making campaign had been drawn with such slight difficulty that the small conspirator began to think that there would be no occa sion for a go-between. Eingbrand's hospitable welcome by the colonel, and the easy facility with which he ingrati ated himself at "The Laurels," left lit tle to be desired; and his infatuation was so very evident that it needed noth ing in the way of encouragement. Since lus side of the case was beyond the need of prompting, Mrs. Ludlow directed her efforts toward trying to ascertain his . standing with Hester a praiseworthy endeavor which the young girl ap peared to take a perverse delight in frus trating. At one time she would praise him with such outspoken frankness that its very unreserve was a most en couraging symptom ; at another shu would criticise him in a manner that, was equally disheartening. She had ridden down to spend the day with Mrs. Ludlow on the morning following King brand's introspective journey down th mountain; and on that occasion she would allow no word of commendation to pass unchallenged. "Oh. I don't deny that he's a pleasant companion," she said, in answer to one of Mrs. Ludlow's warm eulogiums. "He could be that and much more with out being a genius." "But don't you think his literary work is good?" asked her hostess, with a shade of deprecation in her voice. "I don't like it much; he's too ab struse and analytical. I never did like an author who insists upon taking his characters to pieces as if they were watches to be repaired."' "What an idea! I'm sure Hugh never thought of doing such a thing." . . "He may not think of it, but he does it just the same. Take that last story in the Miscellany; he covers two whole pages trying to tell why Mary doesn't love Horace, when it's perfectly clear that she does love him; and he does it just at the time when you're positively dying to find out what has become of the hero. It's enough to make one skip . everything but his conversation." "What a merciless critic you are, nester!" "I'm not a critic at all, but I know what pleases me in a story; and that's one of the things that doesn't." She went to the piano and ran through a brilliant fantasia while Mrs. Ludlow tried in vain to think of something else to urge in behalf of the much-abused author. "Then there's another thing I don't like about his stories," resumed Hester, whirling around on the piano-stool. "That's the way he deliberately takes off the top of a character's head so that you can see what the person is think ing about. It's perfectly ridiculous; and I told him so the other evening." "Why, Hester, that was almost vindic tive!" "No, it wasn't; he invited it, and then tried to defend himself on the score of being explicit. I told him he ouj-ht to give his readers credit for at least half a grain of penetration." "What did he say to that?" "He covered his retreat with a well turned compliment about all readers not being so discriminating as as some others." Mrs. Ludlow smiled: "I believe he is quite popular." "Oh, I don't doubt that in the least. I'm only speaking for myself. I like a story with a good strong motive and plenty of life in it; I can go to church when I want to bear sermons." "Hester, you are actually shrewish this morning. One would think, to hear you talk, that Mr. liingbrand had mortally offended you." "He has, in a way; he has spoiled all "my pretty fancies about authors. I thought they were a superior race, and here the . very.first one I meet is sim ply a well-bred gentleman, who re minds you of all the corrrect qualities of his characters. I think it's too bad." "It certainly is too bad when you can find nothing worse than that to say against him," replied Mrs. Ludlow. "I was in hopesjrou would like him." "I do like him, but I'd adore him if he wasn't quite so correct," rejoined Hester, mischievously. "Just think how delightful it would be if he would only do something dreadfully wicked or absurd just the very thing one of his handsome heroes wouldn't do." "You're quite too incorrigible," Hes ter. I'm not going to say another word. Here comes Mr. Ringbrand with Tom, now, and I shall let him fight his own battles." At the dinner-table the conversation turned upon Eingbrand's stroll on the mountain. . ... "Where did you go, Mr. Ringbrand?" asked Hester. "I'm hardly familiar enough with lo calities around here to know, but I think I went as far as MpNabb's Cove.". . "Then you saw the ; home of our hereditary enemies," she said. . "Did you notice a log house in the bottom of the cove?" ' - "I did." . "I've been telling Hugh the history of the feud," said Ludlow; "he threatens to write it up." . "Why, Ludlowl you know I .never hinted at such a thing. Miss Hester, I hope you won't believe anything that he says." - "I'm not at all afraid of your put ting the feud into a story," replied Hes ter, with an air of conviction. Ringbrand could not let well enough nlone, and he asked: "Why?" - "Because the characters are all too dreadfully impulsive and natural. . Yon cotddn't possibly tone them down into correctness, if you were to try ever so hard:" Ludlow laughed uproariously: "You don't know how much good that does me, Hester. I've been telling Hugh all along that he didn't know the first prin ciples of story-writing." "I'm sure I don't know why you should say that," responded the girl, changing front with an easy facility that made Mrs. Ludlow catch her breath. .. "I think Mr. Ringbrand's stories are perfectly delightful. . I only meant that he wouldn't care to use such rough materials." Ringbrand glanced up gratefully and saw Mrs. Ludlow trying to look re proachfully at Hester; then the uncon ventionally of it all apjiealed to him like the turning of a new leaf -in the book of experience, and he laughed" pleasantly. "Do you know it's quite charming to hear one's self discussed in open meeting?'.' he said "In all my life I've never heard so much frank criticism as Miss. Latimer .and Tom have given me in the last few weeks. It's decidedly refreshing, after half a lifetime pf meaningless praise pn one hand, set off. by an equal amount of spiteful abuse on the other. I'll give fair warning now, though, that I mean to turn the tables some fine day, and you'll hear me telling Ludlow how to run an iron-furnace, and " "And Miss Latimer how to hold her tongue," interrupted Hester, mali ciously. Indeed. I wasn't going to say any such ungallant thing," protested King brand. You might as well say it as to think it, "rejoined Hester, meekly. ."I know 1 shall catch myself looking for an inv pertinent young woman in all your fu ture stories." After that the talk drifted back to the feud, and Hester related the inci dent of the evening before. "I suppose it must have been one of the ISynums, bhe concluded; "though I can't imag ine what his object could have been "Perhaps it was Uncle Ephraim after, a chicken," suggested Mrs. Lud low. "Uncle Kph wouldn't come around the front of the house when there were four of us sitting on the veranda," re plied Hester. "May I ask to be introduced to Uncle Ephraim ?" inquired Ringbrand. "You've met him," said Ludlow u PI li Tilnfiun c? 1 1 'nil- ri "Oh! the old fellow who carried my valise up from the train. WI13-, I've seen a good deal of him, and he seems to be quite above chicken-stealing. I believe I'd trust him with my pocket- book." "You could do that safely enough; he'd bring it back; but that isn't saying lie wouldn't borrow a fat chicken if Providence threw one in his way. Un cle Eph is as honest as the day is long, but he'll bear watching after dark," re plied Ludlow. "However, I agree with llester; .the intruder wasn't a vagrant or a chicken thief ." "'o," said Hester; "I suppose it was one of the Byuiim boys; ar.cll wanted to ask you, Mr. Ludlow, if there had been any new developments lately; I can't get anything out of father or Henry." "Nothing that I know of, except well, yes; we've decided to begin work again on the McNabb vein, but I don't see how that- could account for your visitor; that's distinctly a company af fair, nqw." "You may be sure they won't consid er it so. I'm afraid it will mean a re turn of the old days of cut clotheslines, aijil broken fences, and border warfare generally." Ringbrand looked shoeked, and Lud low replied, gravely: "We won't have that, at any cost. I wish there were some way of getting evidence against them." "Can it be possible that there have been no witnesses to any of their depre dations?" asked Ringbrand. "Oh, I suppose there are a few, only they won't testify, and I don't know that I blame them much; I'd go on the witness stand myself, if I were morally sure of a conviction, but otherwise it would be risky enough. It takes a he roic love of justice for its -own sake to make a man willing to incur the enmity of such people as the Bynums." "What would be necessary to con vict them?" "The testimony of one or more relia ble eye-witnesses, or a chain of circum stantial evidence that could not be easi ly broken." Ludlow's bantering suggestion that he should turn detective came to Ring brand with a sober meaning in' the light, of the threatened danger to the Latimers, and in connection with his discovery of the crevice cave. He saw his opportunity, and how a braver man would have turned it toaccount; adozen plans for entrapping the criminals flashed through his mind, but they all asked f cr more or less personal courage on the part of the person who should execute them. Of course there was the alternative that he could efface himself bv tu rning his information over to those who would make use of it; but. Ring brand was only human, and he had al ready learned enough of Hester's char acter to make him fear that she might suspect his motive in shifting the re sponsibility. . As a matter of fact, he did her an injustice in this; but when cowardice, or venality, or vice, or any other human weakness or wickedness once .undermines the fbrtrdss of char acter, there aremany uncanny shapes standing ready to slip unnoticed through the breach. After they had left the dining table he excused himself, and spent the early part of the afternoon in wandering aimlessly about the village, trying to devise some scheme which offered a compromise between his weakness and his determination to win Hester's ap probation; and with the planning came that curiously insistent urging which finds a parallel in the desire to see how near one can creep to the brink of a precipice without being overbalanced. It is thequality which-often leads a timorous man to attempt that which would make a "brave one hesitate, and when Ringbrand finally yielded to its importunity he turned his steps toward the road he had taken in the forenoon. To be continued. ' WAS MISREPRESENTED. W. B. H. Dafar Krllortl Mitchell the People's Choice. Dufcb, May 10, 1896. Editor Chronicle, The Ballet, Or. Dear Sib : In the daily Oregonian of May 7th there appears an article charg ing me with having met Hon. O. N. Denny of Portland, apparently by. appointment on Friday, May 1st. This ' information was given, so the Oregonian states, by a well known citizen of Wasco connty. The article then goes on to state that "the following day . a meeting was held at Dufar in which my brother, . B. Da fur, the Democratic nominee for joint senator of Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties, addressed the citizens of Dufur and pledged himeelf and his col leagues, if elected, for Hon. John H. Mitchell for United State? senator." It further states that I was flt this meeting and that someone called on me for a speech and that I took np the Mitcbefl and other propositions and said that my kind of Republicans were endorsing the position taken by my brother on these questions. Now, Mr. Editor, if yon will allow me space in your columns, I will attempt to answer these base and false charges made by the well-known city of Wasco and the better known brainy editor of the Oregonian. In the first place, I am not, as is well known in Waeco, a politician or political boss, bat eimply follow farming for a living, and am what might be termed ;'one of those poor farmers of the West that assists in feeding that capacious maw of that long, lank cow of Ben Tillman's." Now, as to the meeting of Hon. O. N. Denny and myself, there were no arrangements whatever. As is known to most of you, I come to The Dalles every Friday to de liver my batter and cheese to my cus tomers and attend to other necessary business. On that Friday I bad some business at the First National bank, and as I Came out Mr. Denny and some other gentlemen stood there talking. Recognizing me, we shook hands, passed the time of day, and I went on about my business, Judge Denny attending to bis, I presume, for I think be is compe tent of doing so without any assistance cf the editor of the Oregonian or the "well-known citizen of Wasco county." I afterward met Mr. Denny at the Uma- tillaJHoupe as he came from his dinner, and as I was going to mine, I walked np the street a short distance with him, conversing on different subjects. If the editor of the Oregonian will interview the judge perhaps he will be kind enough to tell him what our conversa tion was, seeing it worries the brain of Harvey W. so much. Now as to that meeting at Dnfur. My brother was billed to speak there some thing like a week before hand, and as I am in the habit of listening to both sides of the question and trying to lt-arn all I can (for I an but a -common farmer you know) I attended the meeting, ar riving verj late, Mr. Armsworthy hav- ng finished Ins speech and my brother having almost finished his, perhaps speaking five minutes after I arrived. The audience was largely Republican, and they appeared to be highly- pleased with the stand taken by MesBrs. Dufar and Armsworthy. I did bear this much of my brother's epeecb relative to the election of a United States senator, and that was this, that if elected and bis party was in the minority and could not elect a senator, that in place of allowing a deadlock, as happened two years ago, thereby retarding needed legislation, be would cast bis vote for Hon. John H. Mitchell. After they closed Mr. Bing ham . of Dafar was called upon and talked to the crowd on the issues before, the people, handling the financial ques tion in a comprehensive, masterly man ner. . Then I was called upon. Now, as to my saying that I and my kind of .Re publicans were endorsing my brother or were supporting him or any other legis lative or senatorial candidate of this dis trict, nothing of the kind was said. But I did eay that I was for John H. Mitch ell for United States senator, for I be lieved bis views on the financial question and on other great questions were more in common with true republican princi ples and the interests of the masses of the people than were the views of Har vey W. Scott, the eelf-conscituted boss of certain political organizations of Ore gon ; and I farther claimed that the ac tions of the . Oregonian in the present political campaign, in bolting the regu lar nominee of the Second congressional district for congress, was not in keeping with true republican principles, and if carried oat would disrupt and destroy the Republican party, and that the ac tions of certain conventions, manipulat ed as they were by self-constituted bosses and bossism, was an insult to the voters of the Republican party, and that I, as a Republican and one who believes in the intelligence of that party, did not indorse the action of the Oregonian in placing in the field a candidate to defeat the regular nominee, who, as I consid ered embodies all the true principles of an honest, true Republican, and who had never proven a recreant to the trust the people had confided tn him during his official career as their representative in congress. I further Baid that bad I been a member of the last session of the legislature, and looking at it as I did, I bould have voted for Hon. J. N. Dolph for the United States senate. Not be cause I agreed with him in his financial views, bat because be appeared to be the choice of a majority of the Republicans I in that session of the legislature, and believed in. the right of the majority to rale. That now Senator Mitchell being a candidate . for re-election, and Mr. Dolph having had his contest and being defeated, I believed it but riisht and just for him and his friends to allow Mr. Mitchell the field at this time. That I believed Mr. Mitchell fo be the choice of a large majority of the people. ibis, Mr. Editor, is about the snm and substance of my talk to the people at the meeting held at Dnfur, which is worrying the editor of the Oregonian so much. , I have been in Wasco coanty and voted at every election since the fall of 1876, and can eay I believe my record aa a Republican is much better than Mr. Harvey Scott's of the Oregonian, as in that time I have voted for bat one man on the Democratic tieket, and that was prosecuting attornev onee ; the editor of the Oregonian during tee same time having bolted the nominations on sev eral different occasions; at least we, the people, believe so. If the Oregonian has ever advocated a measure that was to the best interests of the masses of the people, I should like to know when. In the present course which it is pursuing in bringing out the independent candidate, Mr. Northap, if to the interests of the ma jority of the voters of the Second dis trict, or if they think so, let them read the following, which I clip from the Portland Chronicle of May 1st : Now that H. W. Scott has succeeded in bringing out Nortbup as an inde pendent candidate for congress against W. JMlia,- the regular Republican nominee, the Chronicle will concentrate all its efforts to defeat this man Nortb up. A more unpopular, arbitrary and conceited individual never walked the streets of this city. There are no com mon interests existing between him and trie people, tie is in the neia as a candidate simply to gratify the over loaded ambition of Harvey Scott, who 18 willing to sacrifice everything in or der to disrupt the Republican party of this state. A more vile and degraded action never took place than that of bringing out this man Northap for a position ibat, under the laws of God, man and the grand old Republican party, he is honorably barred from ac cepting. Not one honest Republican vote in the whole state will be cast for t his usurping offspring of Harvey Scott's, who is merelv seeking higher honors for himself at a sacrifice of party honor and principle. The Chronicle will use every means at its command to defeat this aspiring applicant lor unearned po litical honors. In conclusion allow me to eay that when Mr. Scott, or any other individ ual, says that I have been pledging myself to this man or that man, they are entirely off, and are making state ments not true. I am a supporter of John H. Mitchell for United States sen ator, and hope to see him re-elected hecause I believe he is the man best fitted for the place and will represent the people and their interests. I am also a supporter of W. R. Ellis, be cause he is a consistent Republican and has been an honest, faithful represent ative of the people and their interests. If my position is worrying the Orego nian I cannot help it." I have always fought and acted for myself, never al lowing mv brothers nor my family to dictate my politics for me, consequent ly cannot allow Harvey W. to. Very respectfully, . W. H. Dufob.
