Several of their neighlwrs may come here In the near future and theyf with those already here, will attempt to buy homes for them selves and families. They came with the expectation of going Into the fruit business, but since learning the hay prices In the valley have about concluded that thoy would Just aa soon have a good hay farm aa an orchard.

Redeemed Pledges. By J. LUDLUM LEE. Copyright m). 1904. by Associated Literary Soloiuou Isaacs bud been counted a prosperous pa wu broker for years. Ill" little shop, located on the corner of a busy t borough fn re, showed a big pro tit. while lurge concerns In the neighborhood bad failed during the bard times. Real estate sharks bad made tempt ing offers to (Solomon for bis precious coruer, but be assured them all that he was doing very well and did not care to sell. Indeed, Solomon boasted of many fashionable customers, and bis showcases often displayed gorgeous gems, offered for sale at temptingly low prices. Business seldom started In until after 10 In the morning, so Solomon was standing In the open doorway smoking a cigar when his attention was at tracted to a fashionably dressed young woman looking in his window. Sud denly she caught his glance and darted In the doorway. "I want to get this watcb out of pawn." she said as Mr. Isaacs followed her Into the shop. She banded bim the ticket "Out early, ain't you?" suggested Isjian as be glanced ber over, wonder ing bow she had happened to pawn a watch for $5. Clearly some one had arranged the matter for her. Isaacs never forgot a business face. lie took the ticket and went to the back of tbe store In search of the pledged article, and Nlta Norcross spent tbe time In looking into a tempt ing case of old Jewelry. One old locket Attracted ber and on bis return she asked Its price. Isaacs took out the locket slowly, still searching the girl's face. The price seemed reasonable, and she bought It. Turning to leave tbe shop. 1 BOUOHT nM 8UB FIXAJ.I.T ANSWKUXD. she met face to face a huge policeman and a lithe youth. Nlta's heart went out to tbe latter. In ber imagination she pictured tbe young man as way ward and pawning, perhaps stealing. Jewelry. Surely he must be a thief, or why bis police escort) The suspected youth looked at ber sharply as be passed Into the shop, and Nlta hurried home with ber purchase. Ones In ber room, she told her maid to send the laundress upstairs. She wished to speak to ber privately. "Here Is your watch, Mrs. Berry, said Nlta as she banded tbe timepiece to ber washerwoman, who began to weep copiously on a gingham apron. -I hope you will never have to part with It again. The next time you need money for sickness or any serious trouble come to me. Never pawn any thing again. It is a terrible habit," coutlnued Nlta. Then, recalling the picture of the handsome youth, she added: "It teaches young men where they can get extra money and oftener gets them Into trouble than out of It Now run along to your work and never think of It again." And. Mrs. Berry, clasping the cheap yet precious watch of ber dead husband to her heart went back to ber tubs. Several weeks later Nlta Norcross was Invited to tbe clambake given at Oak Ridge by her old friends tbe Clydes. Mrs. Clyde Introduced her to the many new friends they had met since moving to Oak Ridge, and soon supper was In full swing. Encircling tbe round table were thir ty men and girls, and Nlta casually looked them over. Directly opposite she recognised a new face strangely familiar. Where bad she seen that man before? He had an almost imper tinent smile, and, look where she would, their glances seemed always to cross. Supper wss over, and the guests were strolling about tbe grounds, Tbe man with the familiar-strange face came up to Nlta as she stood beneath a clump of lanterns. "This is Miss Norcross. I believe," he said. MI am Mr. Hildredth. We were Introduced early In the evening, but no doubt you did not catch my name. Have you seen the sunken lake of which Clyde Is so proud? Once sway from the crowd, they fouud a comfortable little seat along tbe water's edge, and tbe moonlight fell clear upon them. Qorgeous night, isn't It? suggest ed Nlta. She could not explain why she had this uncommon constrained feeling when with this man. "Bully,1 he replied. "May I light a cigarette just to keep the bugs away?" "You certainly may,' agreed Nlta. "I wonder If you would think me frightfully rude,' began Mr. Hil dredth, "If 1 were to ask you where you ran against the locket you hare on your neck. Miss Norcross. It's a perfect beauty. I hare seen but one other like It and that belonged to my mother." MU .Ruajbcd JShd. ncrywwJj jw(rled "WHT. the locket which Dun 03 a fin cuilr about ber neck. "Why, I bought It" she finally an s we red. "Yes, of course, but where?" The alteiice which followed was pain ful, and Hildredth continued: "You mm), my mother's locket was stolen 11 long with a lot of other Jew elry (but my valet relieved me of about a year ago, uud I've ent hun dreds of dollars aud a world of time tr;,-lug to locute the stuff. What be took of inlue I don't care a rup about but my mother's keepsakes well, you could understand that would be a dif ferent thlug. in my, mother's locket there Is a picture of a child a picture f me. Whom do you carry In yours. Miss Norcross?" Hildredth waited several minutes for bis answer. Slowly the girl took tbe locket from ber throat and reached it to him. "Open It, she almost whispered. He did so and revealed tbe picture of a curly beaded child of about six. and while Hildredth looked long at tbe picture tbe girl told the story of how she came by It. "And Isn't It absurd," she waa say ing. "I thought you were a thief that day when I saw you with the police man. "And I," said Htldretn, "though you were a society girl getting extra money to play the races or go to fortune tellers or some equally wicked dissipa tion." Then, changing bis tone en tirely, he continued: "I bate to ask tbe return of this, but mother valued It above price. But as she Is now abroad I want you to show you hold me no 111 will by putting It back on your throat and wearing It while you are at Oak Ridge. When we part" He extended the trinket to ber, and his hand touched hers. Without argu ment she clasped tbe fine chain once more about her neck. Nothing was said by either, but Lawrence lighted another cigarette and bit hard. "I think we had better Join the crowd." said Nlta, "or they'll be Insti tuting a searching party for us." Tbe next duys aud for many days after during Nlta's stay at Oak Ridge. Lawrence Hildredth found an excuse to run over in his motor or to sail over In bis boat to the Clyde lodge. Tbe last even lug of Nlta's visit had come, and she and Lawrence were once more sitting by tbe water's edge. Nearly a month had passed, and an other moon bad come to shed Its rays upon Oak Ridge. "Tomorrow I am going home," Nita said, "so I will give you back the locket tonight Your mother will be home soon, too, I hear." He took it from her with reluctant hand. "Nlta." Lawrence's voice was ten derness Itself. "There is just one wo man to whom my mother would give that locket my wife. Will you take me, Nlta? Take my locket and my love? Tell me, Nlta, that you love me." Nlta looked straight Into bis eyes. "Larrle, dear, 1 do love you, and 1 always will." He clasped the locket about her throat again, pledging it to her for life, and the kiss he received In pay ment seemed priceless. From Welsh to Spanish. A very long time ago the British government ordered that English should be taught In Welsh schools. As a re sult a colony of persecuted Welsh miners fled from the British tyranny and settled in tbe deserts of Patagonia. These men were heroes, and with most magnificent courage they dared to lire In a desert where not a plant would grow, where the water was brackish and the beat intolerable. They were surrounded by wild tribes of hostile savages and made them warm friends; they were ruled by a foreign govern ment and became loyal cltlsens. Through long years of want and famine they never despaired. They have turned tbe desert into a beautlfai fertile country, nave become rich, num ber 3,000 people, have extended their string of settlements right across South America, own a paying railway and ship large crops of wheat, wool, ostrich feathers and quanaco skins. They left Wales to escape the tyran ny of the English language and now. rather than talk Welsh, they converse largely of their freedom in excellent Spanish. Germs. Thsir Fritnds and Foss. Germs are powerless to affect a healthy body In which the vital resist ance is maintained by good habits 'of living. Alcohol, tobacco and other such drugs, whether narcotic or stimulative In their effects, are aids and comforts to our Invisible enemies. Too much food, especially hearty food such as meat and beans, forms supplies for the commissary department of tbe enemy Instead of for the brigades of white corpuscles. Oa the other hand, every breath drawn deeply into the lungs of fresh, sua warmed air Is a direct blow struck at our foes and on tbe side of our defenders. Every sip of pure wa ter aids the forces of life. So, too, does every motion In walking, run ning and other exercises when exer cise is not excessive.

The Hazelrlgg orchestra has also established a reputation for some dis tance outside of Medford and Is mak ing engagements to play In places all over the valley.
