"Such divinities!" he interrupted,
eagerly. "I loved your picture long
before I saw you over the footlights.
Then I made myself known"
"By persecuting poor Fitch until

self of you."
"And now am I not your elave?
Dear Gertrude, If I may call you ao;
have you not guessed my riddle?

"Alaa! Poor Belle of Bear City!"
Bhe raited her arma in a mock trair-

Papera of the etnte are comment'
ng on the death at the age of 107
if Nancy Jane Roberts, near Sher
ood, in SVaehington County a
ubliahed exclusively by The Tele-
,ram. The Welcome eayg:
Nelson Roberts has been dead
many years, and it was nujipoged
that hie widow had been gathered
to her fathers long ago. Oldtim-
ers tell many stories of the old
lady's ignorance, one of which con
cerns her idea of the Sandwich Isl
ands. Along in 1863 a son-in-law
by the name of Dean had d.tap-
peared, and the neighbors were
fearful that he had been murdered
Two heighborR, Hon. John Sweek,
father of Judge Alex Fwcek, and
Judge Charles T. Tozier went over
to console with Mr. and Mrs. Rob
erts about the loss of Dean, when
the old lady said: "Men, I don't
think he's dead. You mind that
he hud just bought him a bran
new wngon and a fine yoke of ox
ed, and as you've always hearn
liim tell about going to the Sand
wich I.ilumlf, and as he has gotten
liim jist the rig to go thar you will
iind him."
Another story on the old lady
is about the time when Canvassers
vere out endeavoring to secure
lock in a company that proposed
ot-tnrt a telegtaph line in the
iVillamctte Valley. The solicitors
called on Nelson Roberts, and
talked with the old man about
tuking stock. Nancy stood the
talk just as long us she could,
when she broke out with, "See
here, Nelson Roberts, if you be
goin' to take any stock in that tili
itpht lino I want it to be good
American heifers, for this here
.Spanish breed I want nothing to
do with."
