K'JGKNE. OREGON . (T If . f. V . T . , 'IPPC l k .'I I'll A TRIFLING MISTAKE By THOMAS R. DUNN I wag dressing for dinner one even ing . when tue telephone bell rang. Stepping to the Instrument, I beard very sweet feminine voice nay: "Is that you, Mr. PeuifoertonT' "Yen, I'm I'eiiiberton." "You're to he nt the corner of Elshth and Walnut this evening at 9. Take the cab you will find there and" "Who are you?" I uUeJ, liut under standing all this talk. "I'm EUle Strong. You will be driv en to the park entrance. Go to the fountain, where you will find Edith. Carry a rose In Oh, henveus, some one Is coining:" There was a dirk and that wns the end of these remarkable instructions. It was evident that there had been a call for some one bearing my name, and the telephone girl or the person calling or some one had marie a mis take. Now, I would not on any account take advantage of such a blunder to gratify curiosity, pry into other peo ple's affairs or for any other puriHwe. But I felt it lncumlient ou me to cor rect the error If possible. This other Pemberton would not get the message Intended for him. the driver of the cab might wait all night on his box, and Ettie might grow no desperate as to drown herself In the fountain. It behooved me to set matters rljiht. I called up the telephone ottlce and asked who had given me the last call. I might as well have asked the op erator to tell me how many grains there are on an ear of corn. I look ed In the directory for the name Pem berton, but mine was the only one there. There was nothing for It but that I should go to the corner of Eighth and Walnut streets, take the cab, proceed to the fountain and tell Edith that she needn't wait any longer because the real her real Pemberton had not been Informed of the meeting. I confess 1 was somewhat curtooa to know why a conveyance had been pro. tided and what was to be the upshot of the business. But I resolved etm ply to state that a mistake had been made and ask no qmwtion. I thought via the! " cery to carry a rose In order j that I should te recognized for the ' echar f allow or I might m wU txjj two), so ou my way to the place where I should meet the carriage I stopped nt n flower shop and bought one. The cab was In position, and I opened the door. The driver asked if I was Mr. Pemberton. nud I told him that I wns. Then lie drove me to the park. I alighted and went up the walk to the fountain. Two girls were standing looking at the dripping water, and one of them on seeing the rose In my hand left her friend nnd made straight for me. "I have come to tell you," I said, rais ing my hat, "that there has been a mistake." "Good gracious! What's gone wrong? Is it all olT?" "A telephone message came to me this afternoon from a lady whom I don't know." "Certainly you don't know tier. Tou are not expected to know her." "You see. I'm not that is, there's only one person of my name la the telephone look" "You're Mr. Pendleton, aren't you?" "Certainly I'm Pendleton. There's no doubt about that, but" "Come! Let us hurry. We'll be too late. .Maud told me that If I failed her it would break her all up; she wouldn't lie able to get through with It." If this young woman had been a scarecrow or suspicious looking I might have al tempted further explana tion. I'm she was hs pretty as a pencil, ii ml if she wouldn't give me a chance It seemed to me that I was excusable for letting her have her way. I'uttlng her arm through mine, she hurried me to the cab. We got In. and the cabman drove away without any Instructions. 1 presumed he had been given them before "Now I'll explain." said my kidnap er. "You see. Maud Farnsworth and Nod Iligles have lufii dead In love with each other for a long while Maud's parents think they know bet ter whom Maud wants to marry than she does herself. She und Ned are to be married secretly, and yon and I are to lie the witnesses." Oh! That's alir "That's all! Why. Isn't that a good deal?" "But please tell me what I have to do with It." "Why. Maud has made all the ar rangements She asked nte whom I would like to take tr.o to the psirsouage. and I said It rialn't ma;ter to me; she uilglit find s.iiit. o'io herself. She said she would and made all the arrange ments." I leaned back on the cushion and chuckled "What amuses you'" asked my com- Mllloo. HOP BASKETS f Strong, well built, rein fcreed, slat Baskets.

On the contrary, I have inude a very pleasant ac quaintance." I told her the whole story, at which she was greatly amused, remarking that It was a good joke on Maud.
