A Girl Lost Her Jewels and
' Received a Shock
By HORACE S. GOULD
A merry house party was assembled
In the country residence of Arnold
Rirte-ewav. Thev were all people who
moved in what are called the upper cir
cles. 'and manv of them were rich.
Among the guests were an engaged
couple Langdon Field and Louise
Dana. Field, so far as means were
concerned, was a self made man...
Born In a wealthy family, he had
scarcely emerged from childhood when
a crash came in his family affairs. In
stead of going to college be had at sev
enteen taken a position In a mercan
tile housedetermined to restore the
family fortune". At twenty-two he had
set up for himself and at thirty was
considered rich. Then came trouble
in his business affairs, and it was a
question if all he had striven for would
not be tost to him and he would have
to begin all over again.
While matjers were well with him
he had become engaged to Miss Dana.
When they were invited to Ridgeway's
house party he had told his fiancee
that he was needed at his business
and must decline it She told him that
he was working too hard and should
break away for a brief recreation. Aft
er much persuasion she prevailed upon
him to accept the invitation, he being
largely influenced by the fact that a
regret from him would either involve
one from her or if she went without
him her pleasure would be marred.
It seemed impossible for Field to
throw off his anxiety about his busi
ness. At any rate, he did not show
that abandon to pleasure to be expect
ed from every one of such" a party.
Louise, noticing this and that he seem
ed nervous and worried, did everything
In her power to turn his mind into

THE reception accorded to Cardinal B'arley on his return to New York
after his elevation to membership In the sacred college at Rome was
unprecedented In the history of the Roman Catholic chirrch In America,
and Its only parallels in recent times were the popular outbursts of
enthusiasm at the homecomings pf Dewey and Roosevelt It was estimated
that nearly half a million people lined the route by which he passed from the
ship to the cathedral. The religious enthusiasm of the vast crowd was evi
denced by the breaking of the police lines by men and women bent upon kiss
ing the cardinal's hand, while more than one richly dressed woman was seen
kneeling in the street to receive the apostolic benediction. Fifth avenue and
other streets were decorated with flags, and 40,000 electric lights blazed on St
Patrick's cathedral pn the night of the cardinal's return and for nine nights
thereafter. Our photograph shows the cardinal in the full costume of his rank
as a prince of the church. .

other channels, devoting herself so far
as she might to him exclusively. She
kept him up fairly well during the term
of the festivities, but as the eud ap
proached he seemed eager to-get back
to the city and his business. .
The night before the party broke up
a dance was given by the hosts, and a
number of young people were invited
from the city for that occasion espe
cially. Naturally this took up all the
available room, but by doubling up and
other expedients it was fouud possible
to accommodate the additional guests.
Louise Dana had brought with her
some valuable family jewels that she
had inherited. On the evening of the
ball, noticing that her fiance seemed
depressed, she dressed early, putting
on her jewels, and. seeking Field
sought to dispel his gloom before the
festivities began. When he noticed her
jewels his expression changed, and he
said:
"You are not going to wear those
gems tonight, are you?"
"Of course. Why not?'
"Do you think it appropriate to wear
such, valuable jewelry except on a
grand occasion?'
"If I wait for a grand occasion I may
wait -some time. I have never yet
worn .them, and I have long been anx
ions to do so for the first time."
."Don't."
"Wh?"
"For my sake " '
There was something iu his expres
sion that puzzled her. She was silent
for a few moments, then said:
"Very well. Since you desire it I'll
leave them off."
- Louise went to her room, took off hei
jewels and put them away. Coming
out into the hall, she met Mrs. Ridge
wa.w "What have you done with your jew
ls V" asked the latter.
"Taken them off " -
"Why so?" ' "
' "On second thought it seemed to mf
that they are fitted only for state occa
sions." "My dear, go and put them on again
I wish the other guests to ste and ad
, mire them." .
The hostess hurried away, and Lou
ise. not wishing to offend her, return
1 to her room and put the jewels on
again. Meeting Field, below, the mo
ment he saw them that same singula!
pained, almost frightened, expression
. came again in his face. She was about
to explain why she had failed to hu
mor him in the matter when some ont
accosted her, and when she was again
at liberty Field bad passed into an
other apartment
- The dance passed off merrily, being
kept op till 2 o'clock ilk the- morning.
The gayety grew from start to finish,
and, as usual on such occasions, all
were loath to break up. When at
last those who were tired out began
to break away a conference took place
as to the rooming of the guests.
On the grounds was u pavilion, one
room of which was equipped for a
bedroom, and it bad been armaed
that one of the young men., who had
come up especially for the dam-iv
should sleep (here. Ilv was :-ailii-i
by some ;;ir!fl (id slwpiii.i! in sui-ii :i
lonely place.lo "which Tiereplied That
it would not trouble him at all to
spend the night there, but he didn't
believe there was a girl of the party
who would dare do so.
Now. Louise Dana was just the kind
of girl to take up with such a propo
sition. A lot of chaff followed, at the
end of which she offered for a pound
of candy, to be given by the bachelors
to each and every girl of the party, to
sleep in the pavilion. Her proposition
was accepted. Going upstairs, she se
cured the articles of toilet she requir
ed." At first she thought she would
leave the jewels in her room, but on
second thought preferred to take them
with her and put them under her pil
low. Going downstairs, the party
were waiting for he Her lover took
her aside and begged her not to carry
out her intention. He appeared so
troubled about her doing so that she
would have refrained had she not
gone so far that her pride would have
suffered at a withdrawal. She en
deavored to reassure him, saying that
the pavilion was as safe as the house.
She was escorted to her sleeping
place by a crowd of young people.
Field would not be of the party. She
was rallied on the spooks that would
visit her during the night and the
burglars. But It was all banter, for
the -pa villon was not 100 yards from
the maio building, and no one dream
ed of any danger. Finally they left i
her alone, returning to the house with
shouts and laughter.
There was a dresser opposite the
door.' Before this dresser Louise stood
and took off her jewels, laying them on
It till she should go to bed, then began
to disrobe. While doing so she saw
peering through the transom reflected
in the. mirror something that chilled
the marrow in her bones. It was a
face, a human face, yet the face of a
demon. ' -
It was there but a moment Never
theless Louise knew or believed that it
had not departed. Gradually she re
covered her equanimity sufficiently to
play such a part as would save her.
Could she give her jewels as the price
of her life? It was the only expedient
left her. Deliberately she continued
her disrobing.
Leaving her jewels on the dresser,
she got into bed. Her heart was wild
ly beating, and sleep, of course, was
impossible. Wishing to have the ordeal
over as soon as possible, she purposely
breathed hard as if in slumber. It was
not long after this that she heard a
faint click from the door she had pur
posely left it unlocked and some one
stealthily passing over the floor. She
kept ber eyes closed, but could distin
guish that there was a light in the
room.
The steps went to the dresser, and
Louise could hear'the jewels being tak
en off it. Then the light came to
ward her, and he who carried it held
it closer and closer to her face. It was
all she could do to refrain from start
ing up with a wild shriek. But she
maintained herself, keeping her eyes
closed so thoroughly that she saw noth
ing, thougll she knew that the light
was held down almost against her
eyes, for she could feel its heat. Every
moment she expected to feel a weapon
crashing down upon her. Yet she knew
her only hope was to convince the rob
ber she slept so soundly that she was
unconscious of his presence.
Then when she felt that he was mov
ing' away and the danger had passed
how could she refrain from betraying
herself by some expression of relief?
Still controlling herself, she lay per
fectly quiet until she heard a creak at
the door' and knew the robber and her
jewels had passed away from her.
And now with the reaction came a
frightful bitterness. It was not that
she had been robbed of her jewels.
This was nothing compared with an
. -- -.''' "-.
other -deprivation: The love she had
felt for Langdon Field was turned to
horror. In the face she had seen re
flected 'from the transom she had rec
ognized the man who was soon to have
been her husband.
What next? Should she stay where
she was till daylight or get up and
give an alarm? In the latter case, if
she met her visitor, it would.be sure
death. Doubtless he had fled. She
waited as long, as she could repress a
desire to go elsewhere, then, arising,
put on what clothes she needed and
went out. All was still, the late revel
ers being in bed. In one of the win
dows she saw -a light. Throwing some
gravel from the walk against the pane,
the summons was answered by a young
man who was smoking with others and
talking over the dance. When the door
was opened Louise fell on the floor in
aheap.
Langdon Field, whose mind had been
for some time giving way under his
reverses,- had at last broken down.
Being unbalanced.' he had conceived
the idea that if he possessed his fian
cee's jewels he could save himself
from financial ruin. He was captured
in the city and sent to an asylum. In
sane as he was he was conscious of
what he bad done and told his physi
cian that he had held the light down
close to Louise's eyes to make sure
that she was asleep. Had she shown
the slightest evidence ot being awake
be would have killed ber.

THIRD OF SPUD CROP
Of the 1911 potato crop of this state
approximately one-third now remains
in the hands of the growers. That is
the estimate or a leaamg aeaier.
Regarding the market outlook he said :
"Tn tho event of a eeneral revival
of the demand and it seems altogeth
er likely that this wiu come soon it
would not take long to clean up what
remains of the crop in this state, for
beyond question supplies in Oregon
now are lighter than those of this
date a year ago. ,
"For that matter, It would probably
be safe to say that supplies in all
hands of the entire west at" this time
aggregate far smaller total than those
of a year ago. In view of this and
the fact that there are still at least
two months in which to dispose of
stocks, the market, though very quiet
for the time, may be considered funda
mentally sound.
"There is -practically no buying for
shipment under way now, for demand
is lacking.. The'southern markets are
still more or less loaded as a result
of the heavy shipment from the
North in March, but supplies there
must soon be very much reduced, and
then there should be a revival of the
demand.
''For the present we are not quoting
above $1-50 to $1.65 a hundred at
shipping points in the state, and we
are not at all anxious to buy, even at
those figures, now. At the same time
in the country there is no general dis
position to sell at prices quoted. We
believe the market will rally in the
near future, but to what extent, of any
prices will improve is wholly a matter
of conjecture.
"Thoro will In all nrobability be a
market for all the potatoes yet un
sold, and at prices that will show a
fair profit for the producers. A more
definite prediction than that I could
hardly make at this time."
Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:
DRIED FRUITS (Buying) Prunes
on basis of 6 to 8 cents, v
