OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1912 7 Up Saltpeter Creek A Story of Ranch Life By CLARISSA MACK IE The Chinese' cook had spilled hut bean soup on Harry Barry's Immac ulate white shirt frout. und tin- s.'arej Celestial hnd escaped from the room under a fusilnde of pistol shots th:it all found lodgment in the oak beamed ced ing. "You ought not to put on that Hied shirt till after supper," admonished the Crane as the wrathful Harry wiped the soggy mess from his bosom. "It's taking a risk wearing anything decent at this table nowadays." "And why?" exploded Hurry, mind ful of the fuct that this was his only clean white shirt and his cull upon the pretty Widow Clancy must lack that sartorial compliment. "The chink's In love," was the Crane's reply. "In love?" "Who with?" "Didn't know there was a Chinese girl within a thousand miles of the Lone Bull." "Can't he find any other way of ex pressing bis love than by acting like a blamed idiot r' Of course this last remark came from Harry Barry, who was consuming what remained of the soup In his plate. "They generally do only It takes dif ferent forms." observed Gabriel mild ly. A chuckle ran around the table. Un der cover of Its good nature Wall Sung pushed open the swinging door, peered feurfully around the edge and sidled in with a greut dish of steaming hot potatoes. Perhaps he was nervous. It might be that he was In love. At any rate, when bis mild brown orb met the steely glare ef Harry Barry's usually amiable eyes he set the dish of potatoes upon the ta ble with such frantic haste that the largest and hottest rolled from the pyramid and landed u;on Mr. Barry's band. Wah Sung emitted a desolate widl as Harry Barry leaped from his chair and caught him by the neckband of his cot ton blouse und shook him vigorously. "Suffering cats! What's the mutter with you?" yelled Mr. Hurry excitedly. "Can't you throw down a dish of po tatoes without stampedln' 'em all over the table?" "Me solly velly solly." moaned Wah Sung. "Thar helps a lot." observed Harry bitterly. "Me sick in the head-velly sick in the head: me do' know what to do," added Wah Sung pitifully. The cattleman's quick sympathy wa to the fore ut once. "What's the mat ter, boy? Have you told the bo39 that you're sick?" "No, no: me no tell anybody. Me velly sick here." Wah sung placed both yellow bands over his heart. "It go what you call Hckerty splitty-llck-erty splltty nil time." "It's your heart boy, not your head! You want to see doctor, eh?" Wah Sung writhed bashfully tinder the gaze of seven pairs of eyes. "No no see doctor," he mumbled, edging townrd the door. "Me allee light velly soon. Me go for walk. Excuse, I get rest supper." "Going for a walk, eh?" questioned Gabriel sharply. "You think a walk up Saltpeter creek do you good, Wah Sung?" The Chlnninnn shivered as with ague, and his countenance turned from yel low to gray. His lips pnrted In an at tempted smile as he shook his head. "Oh, no. no, me no never walk up Sal' peder creak! Me walk velly dlfllunt way!" "Humph! Let him go, Harry," was Gabriel's advice. When the China man's slippers were once more slap ping around the kitchen floor Harry Barry resumed his seat and Joined the broad grin that went around the table. "What is It love?" he inquired. "You oughter know, being a sort of Judge of symptoms," commented Jim Lewis dryly. "What abont yourself?" retorted Harry Barry. "You oughter know been married three months, haven't you?" "Stop your wranglin', boys," Inter polated the Crane, nnjolntlng his lean form and taking advantnge of Wah Bung's absence from the room to ex press his opinion. "Listen to me. I've seen the chink going up the creek ev ery afternoon after dinner. "What Is there up Saltpeter creek?" asked Jim Lewis, lighting a cigarette. "Nothing but the springs that I know f." "Anybody ever been beyond the springs?" It seemed that none of tbem had ever followed the rocky trail beyond the springs that gave name to the creek. "Somebody told me that there used to he a prospectors' but up there in the thicket I've never been there, though, and couldn't say." "If Wah Bung's in love why don't he marry his girl and live happily ever after?" commented Harry Impatiently. "Afraid of the bos9 probably. Too know Chinese families are not very popular hereabouts." "Plenty of room on the ranch. There's that little cabin down in the three mile pasture. It's not far from the b ink house, and Wab Sung could cook Just Glorious News comes from Dr. J. T. Curtis, Dwi ght, Kan. He writes "I have not only cured bad cases of eczema in my patients with Electric Bitters, but also cured myself by them of thesame disease.

On his way out he stopped In the kitchen where Wall Sung wus franti cally washing dishes. 'You married, Wah Sung?" he asked shurply. The Chinaman Jumped nervously at the question and shook his head In such rapid negatives that his cue lash ed back and forth like the tall of un angry cat. "Mallled? Me7 Oh, bo, no. no, no! Me no like gals me not mull led. oh no!" "You got a girl?" "Oh, no, no, no!" "Why not? You think boss not like you nave a girl?" "Oh he not like Chinese gal. Me no bave gal till me go hack to t'uuton some day." , "I don't think he'd care If you want ed to get married. Wall Sung. There's a nice little house down In the pasture, and you could come up and cook every day. Why don't you tell the boss? "Me no like gals me no want get mallled," persisted Wah Sung. As he rode over the well worn trail that led to the Widow Cluucy's ranch Harry Barry was firmly convinced that the Chinaman hnd been lying lo him It was a bright moonlight night, and he resolved to ask Mrs. C'laucy 'to ride with hlra up Saltpeter creek and In vestlgate what lay beyond. The ro mance involved might lure her Into the evening ride. It did. She was warmly interested In the story of the despairing China man, and the suspected love affair that might be at the bottom of his erratic actions. "How long has he acted that way, Harry?" she asked, us they rode side by side up the trull, her bund in that of her sweetheart's. "About three months. Ever since he came back from a month's leave of absence. He went to San Francisco, and lie's acted like a crazy Ilea ever since," and he told her the story of the bean soup, und the couversution thut followed. 'Toor fellow," sighed Mrs. Cluncy. and Harry Barry leaned over und kiss ed her lips. When they renched the springs they could see that the trail entered a thick et of thorns, but Harry Investigated and found that the way had been cun ningly cleared of thorns, so tbut a per son might pass through. They left their horses at the springs, und Harry, leading the way, they pushed through the thicket to emerge on the other side Into an open sandy space dropping down the hillside that formed one boundary of Lone Bull much. A faint light pricking through the gloom of another thicket on the hill side lured -then) down until they stood before a small cabin thatched with branches and almost concealed from the view of the casual passerby. "There Is a window. You look, dear," said Harry Barry, and as his sweet heart hesitated he added: "Yon know It's to help 'em along if It's necessary." Then Mrs. Clancy looked through a corner of the pane from which the cal ico inner curtain had swung buck, re vealing the interior of the one roomed cabin. She looked and looked, dually reaching out und drawing Harry to ward her until tbelr faces touched. They looked upon a ilttle home. It might uave'been picked tip out of any city In China and dropped there ou tills lonely Montana hillside. What marvel ous force had enabled the small China man to secretly bring from great dis tances all the little household gods tbnt meant home to him ? Love, of course. The walls were hung with gayly printed cottons," and In one corner where a small altar had been prected for his ancestral tablets there was a square of rich silk embroidery. Little bronze vessels stood on the altar, and on a bracket there was an image of a favorite household god. with an offer ing of Incense smoking before it. A roll of quilts was on the built In bed or bunk in one corner, matting covered the rough floor, a couple of Chinese chairs were there and a low table. There was a row of quaint oriental porcelain dishes on a shelf and odd cooking utensils of copper and a brand new American cook stove of the small est dimensions. That was not all. There iu one of the chairs sat the dirtiest little Chi nese womnn you ever saw. In her arms she held a yellow morsel of baby hood, who was stariug up at Wah Sung with beady black slanting eyes and sucking its thumb contentedly. Last of all there was With Sung-not the craven, panic stricken cook of the Lone Bull ranch, but a Chinaman in vested with the dignity of the head of a household. He was smiling down at the baby, with nothing but love In bis Bild brown eyes. "Poor devil!" whispered Harry Barry crossly, because his own eyes were full of tears and bis sweetheart was wiping the tears from ber pretty blue eyes. 'Toor?" challenged Mrs Clancy, drawing him back to the springs and their waiting horses. "Man nllvr Tab Sung is rich! Let us go straight to Boss Cllntock and tell him that Wab Sung is married and that he must elve tbem the cabin in the pasture." "Of course he'll do ft. But If he shouldn't?" teased Harry. "I'll hire Wab Sung myself and build a Chinese temple for them to live In and dedicate It to (be god of love," de clared the Widow Clancy R. G.

Two Boys Who 8tumbld Upon On of the Groat Soanes In History. Ed Howe tells the following story in the American Magazine: "So little that Is really exciting or worth while has hapiened In my life that I am greatly Interested In Jim and Dun Ayers, who run a restaurant In the town where I live. Something reully happened to them once upon a time, end when I go to their restaurant I en Joy bearing them tell about It. "When they were boys they lived on a farm in Virginia. I have heurd them say their postotliee was Sudley Springs. One Sunday morning; tbelr father start ed them to Sunday school. 'und, after they hud loitered ulong the way a mile or two, Jim Ayers remarked n commo tion over beyond what they called the Big Woods. " 'What's that? Jim usked. stopping. "It was getting lute by this lime, und Dan replied: " 'I don't know, but we'd better hur ry up and get to Sunday school or we'll get a whipping.' "Then they hurried on, hut the com motion over beyond the Big Woods broke out again faintly, but it was very unusual, and Jim stopped and listeued. He had never beard anything like It he fore, although he was a big boy twelve years old, and, after listening awhile, he said: " 'I'm going over there.' " 'Better not' Dan said. 'You know father whips hard.' "But the strange commotion coutln ued, so Jim said he was going, whip plug or no whipping. Dan followed, but kept saying they would catch it when they returned home. "They walked and walked nnd walk ed. All the time the commotion over beyond the Big Woods been me more pronounced, but they couldn't tell what It was. They forded streams und were chused by strange tlogs. but kept ou from 10 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They had nothing to eat, and they didn't know that they could ever And their way back, because they were In a country Btrauge to them. But they kept on. and u little after 3 o'clock, as a rewurd for their perseverance, they walked into the battle of Bull Run. I never before heard of boys going anywhere and finding anything ns great as they expected." Eyes Get the First Attention. There Is no such disguise ns thut of the eyes. If we want to get an Im presslon of n person's face we have to look at the eyes. You will find this In any railway carriage or public con veyance. You are interested In a face: you fix your eyes on the opposite eyes. If the eyes meet both fall: (he eyes drop apologetically, for the In quiry is too Intimate. The two people know well enough, though neither may be an artist, that you cannot get an Im presslou of the face by looking at the chin or the forehead or the uose. You must look straight at the eyes-the window of the soul und the face be comes a recogulznble unit.' The best disguise, ns burglars and grownup chil dren know, Is the mnsk that covers the eyes only. London Standard Sense of Hunger and Thirst. Whether the hunger sense has its seat In the stomach and thirst In the throat has been u .subject of much scientllic controversy. The Itallnu physician. Va lentl, puts the seat of both these emo tions In the gullet. He found that a cocaine Injection in the oesophagus Hue channel from the mouth to the stom ach) resulted In Itnniedlale xuppres siou of the feeling of both huuKer and thirst.
