Grant, Box 216, Oregon City. 3 Miss Emily Granger, a maiden lady of thirty-eight and uervous, had never, been fifty miles from her quiet country home. Then came the announcement that un mi nt hud died and left her a house and lot lu a distant city. There was a mortgage of $1,000 on it, which Miss Granger desired to pay off. No other way of doing this suggested It self to her. than to take currency to the person holding the mortgage and re ceive in return a release. So she drew the money from her bank and started on her Journey. Now, the problem before her of tak ing care of herself was quite enough without having to look out for her thousand dollars.! She arrived at her destination at 11 o'clock at night and was driven to a hotel. A night clerk received her and told her that the only room he could give her contained two beds, and one of them was already occupied by a lady. Slace there was but one other hotel In the place and that was undesirable Miss Granger was obliged to accept a roommate. Being shown to the room, she no ticed that the two beds were ut op posite ends of it On one side was the door, opposite which was a win dow.,, The roommate was apparently asleep. Mlss Granger disrobed, and, taking the money from that part of her clothing in which she had pinned It, she put it under her pillow. Then she went to bed and to sleep. She was awakened by hearing some one moving in the' room and that which resembled a white cloud passing across a dark sky passed without fur ther sound to the door and seemed to go through without opening It Miss Granger raised herself in bed and kept ber eyes fixed on the apparition, re pressing a desire to scream until It had disappeared. Then it occurred to her that what she hud seen was her roommate. This led her to thrust her hand under her pillow. Her money was gone. Getting out of bed, she turned on a light True enough, the woman was gone, and so was her clothing. Near the door a stocking lay on the floor. Miss Granger picked it up. A. wad of something in it was evident Miss Granger, with woman's intuition, thrust in ber hand and withdrew a roll of bills. . . , Miss Granger was counting the roll of bills when she heard persons in the hall. Hastily turning off the light Bhe jumped into bed. She had scarcely done so when the door was opened, and the night clerk, entering, turned on the light He was followed by a half dressed woman. - "This lady," said the clerk, "accuses you of having stolen Bonie money be longing to ber." "That's exactly what the horrid thing did to me!" cried Miss Granger, trem bling with excitement ( The clerk looked puzzled. "She took it from under my pillow," continued the ludy, "and put it in her stocking. Then she tried to steal out of the room without my knowing it But she dropped the stocking, and I've got my money back." . v "Oh, my goodness gracious!" cried the roommate. "What o story to back up a theft! I heard you moving about the room, and" "You didn't hear any such thing," re torted Miss Granger. "I didn't get out of bed till after you had left the room." "Maybe you wore nervous," said the plerk to the roommates. "The last person to occupy this room complained of mice in the walls." "Why don't you make her show what she's got?" replied the roommate to the clerk. ' "Did you have money "with you?" asked the clerk of Miss Granger, "when you came here?" "Yes. a whole lot of it" ' "How much?" "A thousand dollars, besides money for expenses." "Let me see It." Miss Granger produced the roll she had taken from the stocking. . "What denomination?" asked the clerk before making an examination. "Ten $100 bills and $30 in smaller bills." The clerk opened the roll and found a ten, two Bves and six one dollar bills. - , "Oh, heavens!" exclaimed Miss Granger. "Yon contemptible thief!" snarled the roommate triumphantly. Miss Granger did not hear. Without remembering that there was a man present and she was in her nightgown, she Jumped out of bed and began to pull it about. While she was doing so the clerk took up another roll of bills from under the head of the bed. Opening them, he found that they tal lied with. Miss Granger's description of her lost funds. , "What rot" ho exclaimed Impatient ly, "to make all this racket for noth ing! I'll know better another time tbnn to put two women In the same room." He gave each lady her funds and was about to depart when the room ma to refused to pass the rest of the night in the same apartment with' Miss Granger, and bo was obliged to put her In another chamber. Mlx Granger locked herself In. but there was no more sleep for her that night The next morning she paid off the mort gage and found herself Infinitely more contented and happy with a bundle of canceled documents than with good money.

In the old days when the Romans and Greeks fought furious battles the charioteers drove their cars in all di rections, hurled their javelins nnd by the din nnd clutter of horses and wheels commonly threw the runks of the en emy into disorder and, making their way among the squadrons of the en emy's cavalry, leaped down from their chariots and fought on foot. The charioteers thou withdrew little by little out of tho light and placed their chnrlots in such a waj- that if they wore hard pressed they could read ily retreat to thdir own side. Thus in battle they afforded the mobility of cavalry with, the steadiness of Infantry. Dally practice ennbled them to pull up their horses at full speed when on a steep slope or to run out op the pale and stand on the yoke and to get nim bly back into the chariot ' With the introduction of cavalry in the Inter Iron age came larger horses, but their use for this purpose seems to have been, restricted, to Isoluted areas. There is no doubt that the west Ger man tribes as late as the campaign of Caesar in Gaul used only the shaggy pony. It Is snid in cavalry actions they held it disgraceful nnd slothful to use any kind of saddle, and Instead of charging in Bquadrons they dismounted and fought on foot. , ; As far as England is concerned the art of riding seems to have been intro duced by the. Normans. The Saxons appear to have been but indifferent horsemen. Dickens' Last Letter. The last parngrnph of the last letter written by Charles Dickens read: But I hope I may be ready at 3 o'clock. If I can't be-why, then I shan't be. Ever affectionately. C. D. This was written un hour or so be fore the fatul- seizure. Every word droops belcw the level from which each starts, each line of writing de scends across the page, the simple C. D. Is very Bhaky, and the whole letter Is broken and weak. Charles Dickens was not "ready" at "3 o'clock." Ilu died at ten minutes past 6 p. m. - A Woman's Solace. "Silas, I ofteu think of the time when you came courting It's a wo man's solace. And when 1 entered the room jCou hastened to assist me to a chnlr near your own. And now I select my own chair." "Yes," Snmanthn, I remember It. I wns always ufrnlil you would stumble and full and have fidgets. But I learn ed long ago that you are able to take care of yourself." . "And also of you, Silas." Richmond Tlmcs-DlMpntch.

Dies Almost Immediately John Ptacek, 74, a retired farmer living at Estacada, was killed late Sunday afternoon following a run away, when a motorcycle, carrying two persons, passed the animals on a country road. Ptacek was riding with his son-in-law and two daughters, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Somer and Mrs. Annie Mikulecky, all of Estacada. Soon after the mules started on their mad canter the vehicle struck a rock, overturning it and throwing the occupants several feet.

Get House by Freight An Elwood rancher last week re ceived by freight the lumber, nails, windows, doors and other accessories for a modern five-room house. This house is in more or less knock-down form and was purchased from an ' eastern mail-order house for $1000. The lumber was milled and the order shipped from near Seattle. Inasmuch as not loss than half a dozen mills are turning out the same kind of fir lumber within a radius of 10 miles of Elwood, the sending away pf $1000 cash to a distant mail-order house is creating much local com ment.
