L0 THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, SATURDAY. AUGUST 15. 1896. Ringbrand completed his hasty tor let, and they went down to the din- mg-room, where Mrs. Ludlow was wait ing to serve the returned wanderer. . He took his accustomed place and made a. ravenous onslaught upon the hastily ' prepared supper that astonished and pratified the sympathizing hostess "How dreadfully hungry you were I' he said, calling Aunt Mima to replen ish the empty bread-plate. "Haven t von had anything to eat all these days?' "Not very much. I'll tell . you all about it the first chance I get." "Are you going away to-night?" she asked, when Ludlow went out to hitch up the horse. - ' "Yes; we are going up to, 'The Lau- xels, and it. may be late before we get back." "I'm so glad! If you're going there, ni h pood and not ask a single ques tion until to-morrow." "Why are you glad?" V "Ri'cause Hester is worried, and want her to know you are alive and well." ',. ' They heard Ludlow drive ont to the f gate, and Ring-brand pushed back his cuair. Have you anything else to tell me?" he asked. She shook her head with precise en ergy. "Not a single, solitary word except that you're to give my love to Hester." "I'll certainly do that," he promised. "Good night." And he ran down the .walk and sprang into the phaeton be t ide Ludlow, who drove off rapidly up the mountain road - , The colonel and his son were sitting on the veranda when the phaeton turned yito the ayenie, and Hester, grieving silently in the darkness of her room,- heard Iiingbrand's voice answer ing the hearty welcome of her father. She ran to the stairwa3', stopped a mo ment to regain her self-control, and then went down to meet him. They had all gone into the pa'rJor, and when she followed them Hester felt for a swift instant, that the whole world might read her secret in her face. Bingbrand rose to meet her, and took her extended hand in both of his. "I told you good-by for some purpose aft er all, didn't I, Miss Hester?" he said, smiling. . "I should think you did," "she an swered, reproachfully. "Where in the -world have you been ? And what makes you look so thin and pale?" "I tumbled into a hole on the niouu tain," he explained, and, leading her to a chair, he seated himself beside her and recounted his adventures, careful ly suppressing 'all mention ofT.tbe liynums, and leaving her to suppose that he had simply met with an acci dent. "I should think you would have .been starved almost to death," she said, pity-' ingly. "How was it that some of the men didnt find you?" Ringbrand had heard nothing of the search party, and she told him. of the efforts that had been made to find out what had become of him. When she toid how the men had scoured the , plateau, shouting, he remembered the cry that had reached him just as he had placed the first round of the ladder, and he held her attention with a graphic de szription of the sudden hope and its disappointment, while Ludlow took the r colonel aside and told him of the' in-j tended attack. Ringbrand saw the look of grim determination come into, the eyes of the elder Latimer, and a mo ment later iuci low came over ann hega n to talk to Hester, while the colonel and his son left the room. When they came hack the conversation liecame general, . and Ringbrand was glad of this, for he felt, that the one thing impossible under the circumstances was a tete-a-tete with Hester. After a little, the colonel suggested to his daughter that she retire, adding that they had a little matter of business to talk about that would keep them '. up awhile longer. She went willingly enough, being in a beatific frame of mind which would have made her obedient to a much more unreasonable request, and when they heard the door of her room close-behind her they drew their chairs together, and Ringbrand gave a rapid outline of his plan for the capture of the marauders. Upon hearing it. Col. Latimer de murred at once because of the danger attending Ringbrand's part in the un dertaking; but he acquiesced finally when Ludlow added the weight of his advice, and the young man glanced gratefully at his friend for the timely 1 assistance. When the details' were ar ranged, and Ringbrand had appealed to Henry not to fire unless it became pla in ly necessary, the colonel spoke1 again: "In that conve'sation in the cave, Mr. Itingbrand-, did you happen to heab any thing that might t-h'ow any light on this?" handing a soiled and greasy note to the young man. Ringbrand unfolded it and spelled out the contents penciled in crabbed characters scrawled irregularly across the sheet. "dere Mis ester," it ran, "hit mout le a heep beter ef you loud not to "stay ou the mounting two nite spose you go down T ludlos fer a spelyure friend." "Where did this come from?" he asked. "That's what's a-puzzlin' us. : Hester found it wrapped round a piece of flint rock lyin' on the floor of her room this afte'noon, and she , reckoned some body 'd th'own it in at the window." "I think I know who wrote it," said liingbrand. reflectively, recalling the words pf the conspirators. "One of them asked: 'How about the girl?' and the other replied: 'Needn't mind about her; she'll look ont. for herself,' and then he added: 'J shouldn't wonder if Jed would be sriad enouffh to'take care of her if she'd allow it.' Jed is the one who will hold the horses, I believe." "'Blame his cussed impudence!' ex claimed the colonel, blazing up wrath-, .fully. "What right has he got to be thinkin' about my Hester?" - ' Kot the. least bit in the'. world, colonel," replied Ludlow, good-naturedly ; "but don't let us forget that he.had enough, humanity in him "to send this note;- he knew quite well that he did it at the risk of his neck, and it's the first decent thing I ever knew one of them to do." ' ; ' : ' Ringbrand looked at his watch. "1 think we'd better be taking our places, gentlemen," he said. "They set no time, hut we had best be ready for them." Henry extinguished the light, and the four men filed noiselessly out of the house, to their several stations. The eoionel and Henry, armed with repeat ing rifles and provided with buckets of water for us? in ease the fire spread too rapidly, concealed . themselves in the shrubbery to the right and left of tire small clump of laurel-bushes; Lud- Binsbrand untomod It and spelled out the con tents. low - went down the avenue and crouched in the black shadow of a low brr.nched piue; and Ringbrand,' armed ouly with the revolver v hich hud been his companion in the cavern, took his stand against, the trunk of a great oak. whose spreading limbs overshadowed the ambush selected by the mountain- MTS. , V Up to the moment when the comple tion of the arrangements for the cap ture .of the conspirators had begun to cancel the factor of excitement, Ring- brand had not reflected upon the pe culiarly trying nature of the test h hiid projjosed for himself. When the plan had suggested itself, he had wel comed' it gladly, hurrying forward to its culmination with the eager unpa- 1'ience of one who imagines he sees the lurniug-point of his life in the persjiec- tive and runs impetuously to double it. After he had taken his position under the oak, however, the suspense, and the darkness and silence of the night, be gan to dampen the fire of enthusiasm; the flood-tide of excitement turned and ebbed slowly away; and the heroic re quirements of the part he had volun teered ; to take in the approaching drama stood out in vivid and disconcert ing relief. Common sense awoke and demanded a reason for the hazardous plan, pointing the linger of ridicule at the melodramatic stage setting, and suggesting that nothinghad been omit ted save a calcium light to be flashed iijion the scene at the critical moment. He saw the absurdity of it all, and how much more sensible it would have been to take Ludlow's suggestion, surround- ng the house with a posse of armed lnen whose numbers would have made resistance on the part of the mountain-i'im-s useless and hence improbable.' And' what was there to be urged. igainst such a safe and practical plan of procedure? Xothing, or less than nothing; merely the demonstration of tin. abstruse metaphysical problem within himself; the application of a heroic test which had no place outside the realm of fiction. And with this thought it occurred to him that he hai' unconsciously planned the "whole thing upon the lines that would have made it most effective in a story! And then the suggestion of the calcium light and the alarmed young woman looking down upon the theatrical tableau from her window came again, making him sick with disgust. Looking at it from any point of view, the romantic project, which was more than likely to cost him his life in the ex ecuting, was merely a fantastic idea of proving himself in some way a knight, without fear a modern type of gor tesque mediaeval personage who went about slaying impossible dragons and disemljowelling mythological giants. It was absurd ridiculous--preposter-ous! and from this point in the argu ment the descent to the Avernus of ter ror was easy. At the end of a half-hour he. felt the premonitory spinal chill heralding a return of the well-known symptoms; in five minutes more the paroxysm was upon him, and he was struggling furiously in the grasp of his' familiar demon, blind, deaf and help less, with every fiber of his being strain ing itself for flight in an impulse so real that he turned and grasped at the rough bark of the tree to keep himself from being carried bodily away by the whirl wind of terror. - To be continued.

A large proportion of the Germans living incite United States were born in the fatherland long enough ago to have seen the effect of free coinage of silver in actual operation.

The sons of these Germans have profit ed by the experience of their fathers. , There are 1087 papers in the United States in the German language.

Cook, of the Oregon Land Co., and John Pemberton retnrned to Salem yesterday from Marshalltown, Iowa, and other points in the middle west. When asked-about tbe political oiit look in his old borne etate, Mr. Cook said to a Statesman reporter : . 1 will give you a lew ot tne sayings and things which I heard in four weeks' travel throughout the Middle West on the political situation and questions of the day. Iowa will give MtiKinley from 70,000 to 80,000 majority, based on polls taken of a number of localities in that state. This is a conservative estimate, as 90 per cent, of the bnsiness men are favorable to the Republican 'ticket and the farmers will give the ticket a strong and hearty support. . "The money question is talked by everybody men, women, children, travelingmen, trainmen, tourists, farm ers, tramps, hoboes and politicians die cuss it. On every corner, in . all hotels, on the streets, on all train", in the coun try, in small towns as well as the cities you hear the discussion. You will see groups of men standing together and as you pass are sure to hear gold and silver discussed. It is about as bad a craze as the greenback question was a few years ago. ."Many of the things heard about Mc- Kinley are flattering in tbe extreme. He is called 'stronc and able; a man who favors the protection' of the laborer of the country as well as the manufacturer. He taVors a dollar that when earned by a man's labor, will be worth 100 cents in any spot or place and will buy a dollar's worth of goods for the laboier'a familv.V "Many jokes are cracked at the ex pense of the candidates. A traveling man said a few days ago: 'Did, yon hear that McKinley was having trouble with his wife?" The reply was quickly made: 'No, what is"it?' to which the traveling man replied; 'He is getting too thick with Hanna-h' An admirer of tbe Democratic candidate made the remark in my hearing that 'McKinlev was going to be salted with Bryan (brine)." , HIRED BY SILVER MINED WNEB.9. The Charge That Bryan Is in the Pay of the Silver Millionaires. Of Bryan, the Chicago Chronicle, the great Democratic newspaper of Illinois and the West, in its issue of July 11, said : "There was a time when the owners of the big bonanzas of the Far West were glad to occupy purchased 6eats in the United States senate. Sharon, Stanford, Fair, Jones, Stewart and others gratified their fancy in this manner until the novelty wore off, and then they depu tized attorneys and other employes to take their places and vote for protective tariffs and free silver. Of late years. owing to the encouragement they have received from the Republican party, which always does something for. silver, when it passes a tariff bill, the proprie tors of the big bonanzas have found it profitable to keep' a large number of orators, lecturers and other spokesmen on tbe road, preaching to people, al ready limping as a result of bites by the free-silver cur, the sovereign remedy of applying the hair of the dog to tbe wound. "Among the men who have been thuB employed and carried on the pay-roll of the big bonanzas for a number of years is William J. Bryan, of Nebraska. A paid agent of and spokesman for the eil ver combine, he has not, since bis re tirement from congress, bad any other visible means of support. "The richest men in the world, tbe proprietors of the big . bonanzas, hire orators like Bryan exactly as other wealthy men hire fiddlers, and value them about as highly. Silver orators, like fiddlers, come in at the back doors of the big bonanzas and eat at the ser vants' table." 'This charge was recently reiterated by Senator Thurston on the stump, and has never been denied by Bryan. Wants All the Improvements. East Oregon ian. An Eastern bicycle factory recently received the following letter from a Kansas farmer : "DeerSirz: I live on mi farm near Hamlin Kansas, am 57 years old and just a little ' sporta. Mi neffew in In diana bot hisself a new bisicle and Bent me his old un by frate and I've learned to ride sum. It's a pile of fun but mi bisicle jolts considerable. A feller came along yesterday with a bisicle that had a hollow Injun rubber tires stuffed with wind. He let me try hissen and mi ! it run like a . fikushen. He told me you sell injnn rubber just like hissen. How much will it be to fix mine up like hissen? Mine is awl iron wheels. Dew you punch tbe holler hole through the injun rubber or will I haf to do it miself ? Do you sell it by the yard or the peace? bow do you stick the ends together after you get done?

How much do you charge for tbe doodad you stuff tbe wind info the rubber with and where' do you start? . ' E.Y.J. Drowned In Coos Biter. Hal Bonebrake, a boy about 14 years j old, drowned in Cool river, near Marsh field, last Sunday.. The boy was enjoy ing himself with the others in the water, when suddenly he commenced crying frantically for help, and seemed to be utterly powerless to make an effort to keep afloat, leading many to believe that he was seized with a fit. His compan ions went to his assistance, but were unable to rescue him, and he saok al most immediately, never coming to the surface after he once disappeared. A.. Smith, whose residence is close to tbe bathing place heard the cries for help and lost bo time in getting there and plunging into tbe water; but though he dived until exhausted, he could find no trace of the missing boy. Tbe searchers were 'finally rewarded , by finding the body, close to where the unfortunate boy disappeared, in about ten feet of water. The -bov was the onlv son of Mr. and Mrs. Bonebrake of Coos river. The Same ld Story. " The following campaign song bas been received in sheet music form by Tub Chronicle. It would make a'splendid song for the McKinley glee club : By deception and by treason, And all tbe arts save reason, Has tbe Democratic party always won. - 6he is a gay deceiver, And as sure as you believe her, You'll regret it at-d pay dearly for your fan.

Of all known agents for this pur pose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best. Once nsed, they are al ways in favor Their secondary ef fect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to fur ther constipate, aa is the case with other pill9. Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation,' piles and their attendant discomfort and manifold derangements. The " Pellets " are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. No care is required while using them; they do not interfere with the diet, habits or occupa tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock to the system. They act in a mild, easy and natural way and there is no reaction after ward. Their help lasts. The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation, sour stomach:, loss of appetite, coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy belchings, "heartburn," pain ana distress after eating, and kindred derange ments of the liver, stomach and bowels. In proof of their superior excellence, it can be truthfully said, that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials, therefore always fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are tnildy cathartic. As a " dinner pill," to promote digestion, or to relieve distress from over eating, take one after dinner. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will readily take them. - Accept no substitute that jnay be recom mended to be "just as good." It may be belter for the dealer, because of paving him a better profit, but he is not. the one who needs help. TUB GaliuiiDla PacKlng PACKERS OF Pork and Beef MANUFACTURERS OF Fine Lard and Sausages.
