OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY JANUARY 24, 1908. GORDON ATTORNEY Phone Main 62. DRAWING THE COILS (Continued From Page 1.) agent, in 1903, was made In response to the Putnam petition and not on the application of Hall, as will be alleged by the defense. C. n. Zaehary, foreman for the Butte, Creek company, followed Hen dricks and testified that he had never received any notice from Hall to re move the unlawful fences by which the company had Illegally Inclosed public land. He also told of making overtures to the Government official and agreeing not only to plead guilty to the indfetment charging conspiracy, but also to take the stand and to tell the truth of the fraudulent operalons of the llutte Creek Company. He said that in consideration of his confession and testimony for the prosecution he was to be lined $250 and sentenced to one day in the county jail. In discussing the case during the afternoon recess Heney declared that when the trial began the Government was prepared with about 75 witnesses to prove the conspiracy charge against every one of the defendants that had been indicted. This array of evidence served to take the fight-' out of Hen dricks and Zaehary, who had already been convicted, the former on a charge of subornation of perjury and the lat ter for perjury, and were awaiting sen tence, and they did not wish to make a further defense of the conspiracy charge. For that reason they had sought the Government officials and requested an opportunity to plead guilty and escape with a light sen tence if possible. Heney contends that the Government had abundant evidence to establish the conspiracy charge without any testimony from the three co-defendants who have pleaded guilty, but admits that the testimony of these three witnesses has simplified the Government's case and excused the necessity of examin ing many of the witnesses that were originally subpoenaed in the case. It is denied by Heney that either Hen dricks or Zaehary have been promised immunity or any other consideration in connection with the charges on which they were convicted in 1906. For these crimes Hendricks and Zaeh ary are liable to terms in the peniten tiary and will probably be sentenced when the pending trial is concluded, or as soon as Hendricks' appeal has been decided.

Though tens of thousands of persons yearly see the great rocking stone of Bronx park In New York city, few realize that It is the city's most con spicuous souvenir of the glacial period, when all of this section whs covered with an ocean of Ice some 1.500 feet thick that was moving slowly toward the south. That pinkish bit of granite, welghlug thirty tons, standing seven and oue hnlf feet above Its rocky base, being ten feet broad and eight feet thick, came from the fur north, carried in the resistless Icy arms of the glacier thut swept over the continent down to this latitude, marking Its path by-'--depositing grent bowlders as It moved and leaving scratches on the firm rocks beneath, from the sliding, grinding bits and masses of granite that set tled to its base nit .1 were pushed along as It moved. This same tiowlder left its mark on the bare face of the rocky hill to the north of it. In which lies the crocodile pool. There the scratches are visible today, pointing to where the bowlder stands niul telling the story of part of Its travels. When the melting ice departed from the great block of granite, it left it standing through the ages a rocking stone so delicately poised that a pres sure of fifty pounds exerted on Its most northc.ni angle causes Its apex to swsy north and south about two Inch es.

She had heard nothing of the news when she was awakened about 4 o'clock In the morning by a violent knocking r.t the door of her house. Fi nally Mrs. Wninwrlgbt rose nnd looked out of the window, asking what was the matter. A voice called out, "Are you the wife of Lieutenant Command er Walnw right?" ' Yes. What do you want?" "The Maine has been totally destroyed. We are reporters nnd wish for some Information about Mr. Wnln wrlght." Only this and nothing more.

She greeted her first and only board er with a shy dignity, , "I think you will find It quiet enough here, Mr. Holmes, i on said in your t letter that you wanted to get away from home nud the children while you finished your book." John Holmes put his suit case down on the veranda and took the huge rocker offered by Miss Penelope's col ored servant, Aunt IMlsey. "It looks nice nud unlet." he said, taking In the gorgeous coloring of the trees and the old fashioned flower gar den, now gay with dahlias and gerani ums. "I think I will U able to work ufter a day or so of rest and wander ing through the woods. When I got your mother's unswer to my advertise ment I Instinctively knew that It was the right one to accept." Miss Penelope blushed faintly. "Not my mother's-1 am your-host-ess. I keep house for my father." She never In the world would have thought of herself ns his landlady. "Aunt 1I1 Bey will render you any necessary serv ice. Take Mr. Holmes' suit case, Aunt lllsey, and show him his room. Sup er will be ready lu half an hour." He went upstairs to the front bed room, rather pleased that he wotibH have for company at supper a pleasing woman of perhaps thirty Instead of the middle aged farmer's wife whom his Imagination had pictured. Miss Penelope, giving a final touch to her supper table, w ith Its centerpiece of brilliant fall blossoms, talked to her blind father, "If It's quiet ho wants, bo certainly ought to tie satisfied. But he Is a much younger man than I ex pected. I have read his last book, nnd it docsu't seem that such a Jolly look ing man could have written books so serious. "He said there were five children at his house and that their mother ls lleved that a constant exercise of lungs and muscles was good for their devel opment. We'll feel really Important, daddy, having a real tsjok written In our bouse or on our veranda or in our back yard, wherever geulus happens to inspire him." And she ran on merrily, giving the little details which for the ten years of bis blindness had been the pleasure of her father's life. The novel progressed finely In the next few weeks, and the boarder dl- I KKIT TBS IlOHK YOD (UVI ME. vlded his days Into mornings for work, afternoons for fishing ami rambling through the woods and gay little chats with Miss Penelope and her father after supper. Miss Penelope forgot the shyness for which she was noted and talked of the things she had read and dreamed about for years as If she had actuully lived them. Returning from school ten years before, she hnd not found tho average youth of the community con genial. Her natural timidity and ret icence had been mistaken for hauteur, and not one of the country swains had possessed the courage to ask her to go for the customary drives or to tho yearly ice cream festival. She had tended her flower garden, di rected the management of her father's farm and for amusement had lived in a world or books and magazines, lue only love of her life was a worship of Rudolph RnsscndyU after reading "The Prisoner of Zenda." She unconscious ly adapted her style of dress to the lines that she thought would have suit ed the sienderness of Queen Flavlu and never realized that she was dream ing her life away. To Holmes she tulked freely of her fancies, of his work, of anything that the moment prompted, nnd he bad un consciously added, a touch of her to the quaint heroine of his book. "Let me read you tho Inst thrv-9 chapters," he said one evening when the rain had driven them Indoors from tho flower garden and the hammock Under the trees. "It ulwnys souuds conceited for a writer to want to read his own works, but I believe I have given the exact touch to this, and I want to see how it strikes you." lie brought tho manuscript, and Miss Penelope lit the old fashioned lamp. As ho read her eyes dilated and she listened eagerly. She saw her own dahlia garden flaunting In the nutumn sun, the woodland patb that led from tlio back of the guroen to the ereeK. and wiei It Mr, Holme or her ommi Ruhll'h ltuisimlvll trail1 1'laled It ql.ict n. id homelike ntl;los;iloi"o Hint whs given i red i.i-e III (ho giii'dotl by the Hiiaiiuv! f.imlliiir woman In tho bo !, V "You have made her like inc." hIu gmped Incredulously, "pud lb-all c I me. and whole site tells lili.i about liT life, lived In the t !inrii',tei'n fro u bo ks she bad read, li's exioiiv what I said to you the afternoon Went riding on the dec';."

"I never was more fluttered In my life," she said Impulsively. "I never Imagined there was one trait or thought of mine of enough Importance to be written about, but you have nin do mo seem all that I always want ed to be." "Are you?" Ho laid the iniinuscrlpt on the table, "I kept the lose you gnvo me that day in tho garden," he said abruptly. She sat still nud white, the situation being one that she had never met with or dreamed of meeting, "To me you lire Ksther. I could love you the Kiune way," he said quietly. Miss Penelope rose, frightened nnd childlike, a quiver of pnlu trembling on her lips, "Mr. Holmes, I have admired you. I have tried to entertain you ns best I could to keep you from finding tho dullness of our life tedious. Perhaps I am to blame." she said diucdly. "I found you so sy m pathetic nnd eoiigen la I t hji t I talked to you more than I ever talked to nny one in my life, but I never thought that you would misun derstand iue would oiler H!o this In sult. You. a married man," sho gasped. "A-a-whiit?" he nsked blankly. "A mnrrled limn," she said brokenly, two tears trickling down her cheeks. Holme, a finished product of chill ration, let his mouth drop open lu as tonishment. "I've never been married lu my life," he said lu amazement. "Hut those five children Unit you wanted to get away from?" she said faintly. Holmes struggled with his merri ment nnd was tlnnlly able to answer: "Those five kids belong to my sis ter," he chuckled. "I live with her and her husband In any part of the house thut Is not preempted by those urchins. I never dreamed that you thought I was married all this time.'' Miss Penelope still stood, nervous and dazed before him. He took her hand and, stooping, pressed his Hps to It. "I kept the rose." be suld Insinuatingly. She looked down upon his blond head, and her owe beloved Queen Flavla and Rudolph Uasseiidyll be came from that moment mere crea tures of fiction. She had found her own romance. "I'm so- glad you kept It," sho said timidly. A Spelling Reform. One of the witnesses in a lawsuit, who had Just been sworn, was usked to give his name. Me replied that It wus Hinckley. Then the attorney for the prosecution requested him to give bis name In full. "Jeffrey Alias Hinckley.' "I am not asking you for your alius," 1 said the lawyer Impatiently. "What Is j your real name?" "Jeffrey Alias Hinckley." "Xo trilling In this court, sir!" stern ly spoke tho Judge. "Which Is your right titiuie-Jeffrey or Hinckley?" "Both of 'em, your honor." "Roth of them? Which Is your sur uuiiie?" "Hinckley." "And Jeffrey is your given name?' "Yes, your honor." " "Then what business have you with an 811118?" "I wish I kuew, your honor." said tho witness ruefully. "It Isn't my fnult." "What do you mean, sir?" demanded the Judge, who was fust losing his temper. "I mean, your honor, that Alias Is my middle name, for some reason which my parents never explained to me. I suppose they siiw It In print somewhere and rather liked tho looks of It. I'd get rid of It If I could do so without the newspapers finding it out ami Joshing me about It." "The court suggests that hereafter the witness begin his middle name with an K Instead of an A. Counsel will proceed with tho examination," said the judge, coughing behind his handkerchief. Youth's Companion. Hit Qualifications.
