It waa tbe close of a bot day lu

Ralph Freeman lud livod !tjC.'w.ay
for year, ever slui-e be had fa I leu
heir to a small bausua plantation and
left tbe State to carve a fortuue for
himself. There bad ouue to him abun
dant health, vers tytje money and lews
happiness thatrTia, fcad expected, lie
bad left behind him a broken engage-
- Lillian, and aha had appeared to a
cept the attentions of that rich cotton
broker with complaceucy. When Ralph
reproached ber matters had come so
Swiftly tw bead that waa not until,
he waa on the atcaincr bound for Tor
to Rico that be realized be must In
reality begin all over again.
Jfow be bad been reading a maga
' sine story of a man lu tbe tropics, a
auaa who waa separated from the girl
be loved: how the girt, passing on a
yacht, bad tossed bottle overboard,
bottle containing a letter to tbe man.
" It waa a pretty atory. a clever story,
but a very unlikely thing to happen,
thought Freeman moodily. He was
situated much as that other man was,
but there would never be any bottle
or message for him! If Lillian bad
" married tbe cotton broker It would not
be strange If ab waa cruising In the
. Caribbean waters, but that abe cared
enough to send him a message of any
sort b did not believe. Such things
Bight happen la.atortes
"There were glanta In the earth In

a bound he had reached the wooden
talra, raced down them to the water's
edge and then. Impatient of delay,
dashed knee high Into tbe wavea and
rescued the bobbing bottle.
Empty It waa now, and he tossed It
down on the pebbles with an angry
laugh.
Ha was tired of hla solitary exist
ence; be longed Inexpressibly for the
haunts of men. I'aya passed aud
weeks slipped away in the dreamy ex
istence on this tropic Ule. Tbe work
on hla plantation required little aur
Tislon, and tba negro hands appeared
to idle tba long days through, and yet
somehow tbe crops were harvested
and shipped by mule team to tbe near
est port where the fruit ateamers
tooched. Ills one story office building
waa a Uny affair, and one hour a day
was ample to keep bis business cor
respondence and accounts la terfoct
order. Ills field ha ads lived In sat-
huts somewhere about, and in
this Isolated region be waa often call
ad apoa to act as physician to the suf
fering bodies of bis childlike neigh
bors whea tba voodoo doctors failed
to work a cure. '
Suddenly be waa aelzed with a deal-
for home to see cities full of
white men, to feel tbe hard pavement
under bis feet, to be hemmed Id by
cliffs of brick and atone, to bear the
din of traffic and to participate In tbe
light and gayety of scenes of pleasure.
Dy traveling all night he conld catch
the fruit steamer that In passing might
drop him at Ban Juan. From there he
eould take a ateamer for nOME. Now
ha thought of home In capital letters.

scattering of buts near tbe beach a

stroke of apoplexy, and there was
nothing the young American could do.
aave to apply simple remedies that
would at least satisfy tbe wailing rel
atives that be waa doing something.
In fact, bis presence waa needless, bla
sacrifice. In vain. . -
Morning found him rloMiug the eyea
of the old man of Oragua. who bad
after all gone to the Great Physician
to be cured spiritually as well as bod
ily of bis ailments. When be had
withdrawn from the but of mourning
and Dominique had thrust In tbe cart
a large basket of fruit that the grate
ful relatives of the old man of Oragua
had pressed upon Freeman tbe latter
walked down to a little point of land
that Jutted Into tbe sea. When ha
emerged from a grove of palms Into
the full sunlight he waa startled by
the sight of a large steamer lying per
bapa a quarter of a mile from a ho re.
Two small launchea were putting oil
from her, and another was almost un
der bis very nose at the water's edge.
Wild with excltemeut, be rushed
away and called bis servant to bring
his luggage. Then he intercepted the
first boot, which bad Just landed a
dozen tourists, men and women, wba
looked at the sun browned American
with friendly eyes.
From the sailors Freeman learned
that tbe vessel was the Trlposa. a
tourist ateamer. cruising among tba
islands. Her steering gear bad gone
wrong off Oragua, and while it waa
being repaired those passengers wbo
desired It bad gone aabore. Tbe ateam
er waa outward bound from New Tork
and would make San Juan in the
course of her trip. Tbey thought it
likely that tbe captain would taka
Freeman as a passenger.
Delighted at this happy turn of fata
which seemed to have been brougbl
about by tbe old man of Oragua, Ralpb
found infinite satisfaction In seeing bfc
luggage stowed in the boat Then he
gave final directions to Domlnlquo
and bade blm farewell.
Now the other launches landed tbeii
tourists, and they, too, gazed at Free
man as tbey streamed past. Suddenly
hla heart Jumped madly and tbe blood
raced through bla veins aa it bad not
done alnce he bad last seen Lillian
Wade. For there she waa, staring
bnck with wondering eyes, starry with
happinesa at seeing blm. -
Forgetful of tbe cotton broker and
bis possible relationship to Lillian,
Ralph Freeman found himself holding
ber bands and trying to appear con
ventional before many curious eyes.
At a little distance be saw an aston
ished looking elderly woman wbo seem
ed to be waiting for Lillian.
"Oh, Ralpb! To think you should
be here!" 8be was breathing quickly.
"I was going to you-I'll tell you all
about it later. Then you haven't for
gotten me, and you have forgiven ma
for being auch a bruter be fairly
summered In his haste.
I've been punished. Ralph, for my
tj.- aha ...d humbly. r did

raxed that you should doubt my ley-
Ut In the least Coma and be Intro-
with her. It Is all ao wonderful!"
To0 can thank tba old man of Or-
gua for thla, dear," ha aald to her aa
they went along. And to himself ha
whispered softly, wonderingly, "And

Feb. 1(1 at 12 o'clock. Mra. Frlel
passed away Monday, Feb. 13 at 6 p.
ra. She had not been well for over
two years, aa ahe had had aeveral
strokes of paralysis, the last proving
fatal. A1I that materia medica' and
careful nuralng could do proved of no
avail. The deceased leaves a, hus
band and seven children, all' living
near, and were present to pay their
last tribute to their beloved mother.
The children are Mra. Viola Klrby. of
Portland. Ore.; Mra. Maggie Murray,

Phoebe Allen, Cherryrille; Mrs. Ma

and It la needless to say will be great
ty missed, but tbe consolation la left
for those who mourn that ahe has
passed, from the suffering of mortal
sense to her home In the spiritual

seems to be Is only transition." "Oh,
never sit we down and aay there'a
nothing left but sorrow! We walk
tbe wlldernesa today, the promised
land tomorrow. And though age
wearies by the way, and hearts break
in the furrow; we'll sow the golden
grain today, and harvest cornea tomor

The election' having gone' for im
provements It Is to be hoped Mllwaukle
will be "lifted out of the mud." There
is no obstacle In the. way and no ex
cuse why this town can't be put on a
par with other growing suburbs of
Portland. Of course there Is quite a
difference of opinion aa to the streets
Improvement should be made. This
idea of digging out a trench In the
middle of the road and throwing in a
little gravel to sink out of sight, does
not require much engineering skill,
but tbe property owners have to dig
down Just the same. It looks reason
abhS to have the work done right In
the first place, and If. aome of th i
work done In other up to date towns
would be studied It might prove a
valuable lesson and it la to be hoped
the present coterie of public official)
will not spend the peoples' money for
some unsatisfactory experimenting. It
Is an easy thing to sit on a road roller
and rock crusher, and draw four or
five dollars a day, but It la another
thing to make a good serviceable and
economical street or road. The fol
lowing la the result of votes cast:
Street Improvements, yea, 94; no, 36.
Shall we hold biennial elections, yea
87; no, 40. Shall Mllwaukle spend Its
own rosd tax, yes, 108; no, 21. Bhill
Mllwaukle Issue bonds for 15000 for
sewer or atreet Improvements, yea 88;
no, 89.
