WEST SHORE. I'm gcttin' too old to lose money, I find it makes me crow, mowing hm iirnall, white teeth in a broad smile Ilurrows wax lining hia utmost jMiwer in argument to (Jihih'I ttim timidity, when the Ixtat. which had rounded the jx.int and entered a cove, shot into a shady creek. Mr. Orillis changed hia position, the better to enjoy nis beautiful surroundings, when the attention of the others licrame attracted by a low exclamation from him. A little back in the woods stood a young girl, lean ing against a tree. She was tall and slight, and her eyea were fixed Umii a llower which she was destroy ing, licside her, and talking earnestly, whs Arthur Kriglmm. " It's I'Mm Hay," muttered Joe, " I'm glad I sent Kd by the Jiath." Ilurrows, watching the couple, seemed to have grown paler and more sandy. "Home one should warn the girl," said llawkes. " He's a blight. Wherever he goes something is left dead in his track." An oar splashed heavily in the water. Mr. tirillis iookc round with some impatience, but was kept from any expression of annoyance by the gliastliness of Iturrows' countenance. The couple on shore had evi dently heard the noixe, for they immediately disap peared among the trees. The hont lloated into a basin and a few strokes sent it alongside a landing, where the party were met by Ed, who conducted them to an old block house, where he presented them first to his father, an aged man, tall, robust, ami with an abundance of beautiful white hair, then to his mother, a stout, kindly-faced woman, con siderably the old man's junior. " It's a little early for the ducks," the father said, " won't ye sit a while? Mother, you draw a jug o' ci der for the gentlemen." " We won't miss much by waiting, the ducks don't come in much before sundown," urged Ed. " You tell the gentlemen a story, father, while they stop. He can do it," with a conscious glance over the party. The old man rubbed his hands. " If the gentle men 'd like to hear it, I'll tell 'em alxiut the Marsh field property," he said, with a bow toward Mr. Bur rows. Ilurrows nodded. He had regained his uaual color, but was constantly canting furtive glances out of the open window. To be oontinuftL Linkville's big fire is proving a benefit to thotown. Heal estate sales are more numerous than before the fire. Surveyors renrcsentinir the Son" r -n Pneifin n v iv, recently in the town, and they are reported to have said that in eighteen months a railway will be in op eration from Klamath City to either Umatilla or to Hoise via I.inkville. The Klamath City Company will erect a large saw mill on Link river in the spring. Iluilding is progressing rapidly in the burned district and business of all kinds is good. This is another in stance of a blessing in disguise. TPFv I WW?,'.?. mm 41 WASHINGTON ST- 107109 -I ll-KN0 5? NEW PARKTHB ATER, Maaaa OH. IS. aal atar aa- laa aarlag la arna. Mallaaaaalaiaai.
