I lived lu a gold mlalug region where
grout deal of usmiylna needed to be
Uuuo and, being a cliemlut, set up an
estiibllsliiueut where I could do tbls
and other work pertaining to uiluea.
My ,luce was a receptacle for gold
dust, large quantities of which were
left with uie continually.
Mis itebecca Wright, my typewrit
er, was a very circumspect young lady
I attempted occasionally to joke with
her, but met with uo response. On
ouo or two occasions I ventured to say
something a bit tender to her, but met
with no encouragement But when
man s mind U set on producing re
sults, especially with a woman', he will
not let up until he has accomplished
them or Is obliged to give it up. What
I wished, all I wished at least, at first
was to see Miss Wright show a con
sciousness of my admiration and some
appreciation of the fact.
llut something bnppened which led
me to forget Miss Wright and any one
else except one unknown person. That
person was getting away with gold
dust In sufficient quantities to ruin me
if the leakage continued.
No great quantity was taken at one
time. Indeed, what I missed at a
weighing had but the value of a few
dollars. But I missed these small
amounts continually. I had nothing
laid up, and the amounts I was losing
made up an accumulating debt. I set
a watch on every one connected with
the establishment except Miss Wright.
I did not proose to huve any one spy
upon a girl who hud every evidence of
rectitude.
Then the stealing ceased for awhile.
I began again to think of my stenogra
pher und. yielding to pique, reconv
nienced my eftorts to break through
that iciness which characterized all
her actions toward me. She accepted
my attentions, but passively. She
even permitted me to retain her hand
when I took it In mine on meeting her
after a brief abseuce. Matters pro
grossed between us until I came to
driving her out occasionally. I was
not especially In love with her, though
I might have been had she received
my attentions more warmly. It was
with me rather a mutter of curiosity,
though since I lived a lonely life In a
country where there was little of wo
man's society I often thought of mar
rying Miss Wright, if I could gain her
i-onseut, for the sake of a home.
Then suddenly the leakages in gold
dust recommenced. I charged several
persons In my employ with being the
thief, hoping that some one of them
would brenk down under the accusa
tion and confess. Among others I ac
cused the woman who kept my prem
ises In order. She turned on me like a
fury:
"If ye want to know where yer
gold dust is goiu' I'll tell ye. The
young leddy you're drlvln out and
savin' sweet things to is relievln' ye of
It."
I w as too indignant to ask her a sin
gle question as to what ground she
based her charges upon. Indeed, I
feared Miss Wright might hear her,
and to be charged with such a crime
would break her heart. I therefore
dismissed the allegation with contempt
and from that time felt more tender
than ever toward the Injured girl.
Indeed, I was daily becoming more
and more inclined to enter Into a mat
rimonial partnership with Miss Wright.
I grew more and more demonstrative,
in many ways Indicating my Intention.
Miss Wright's demeanor underwent no
change. She would permit me to en
circle her waist, to kiss her; but, as for
responding, she made no response
whatever. I confess that this excited
my amour propre, though at times I
felt Inclined to cease my demonstra
tions, feeling that I might as well
caress n stone.
One evening I was sitting on a sofa
beside Miss Wright, our heads very
near together. I asked her why she
was so unresponsive. She said she
didn't know; she had always been
called undemonstrative. I wished to
propose to her, but she was so cold
that I couldn't bring myself to do so.
Though my arm was about her waist
and her head rested on my shoulder,
still there was no love current running
between us.
! That night on taking off my coat I
! saw something glitter on its shoulder.
I I recognized particles of gold dust. It
RtrnfTc me at once that the particles
; were where Miss Wright's head had
been. Then a terrible thought came to
me. Was the woman I was thinking
of making my wife n thief? Was she
: carrying awny the dust in her hair?
I did not sleep much that night and
I the next day went away for a brief
seoson. employing a woman to spy on
, Miss Wright. When I returned my de
j tective reported that every night the
Itlrl washed her hair and poured off the
water in the bowl, leaving a sediment.
which she scraped together nnd put In
a little box
Not for worlds would I expose one
whom I hail so nearly asked to be my
wife. I went away again, leaving a
hoto for her Informing her of my dis
covery and telling her not to let me
find her w hen I returned.
I have trlinl In vain to make up my
mind to propose to some other woman.
My mind has been so warped with
this ono experience - the narrowness of
my escape from marrying a thief
that I am forced to be unjust to the
rest. Perhaps some day I sholl renMy
fall In love, ami that will end my suspicions.
VOOLMEN'S MEETING CASHMERE TO HAVE
WILL BE BIG EVENT
When the annuiil convention of the
National Wool Growers)' Association
opens in 1'ortlund January 4, It will
be the biggest uml most Important
gathering of sheep raisers In America
for yearn. Questions of vital lin
portunce to the ttbeep Industry are
tube considered and the future poli
cy of the wool Interests w ill be out
lines.
According to those high In the
councils of the organization, little
support for the wool men may be
expected either from President Taft
or the next Congress, lloth. It seems
are determined to lead Schedule K to
the slaughter In revising the tariff
bill. The friends of the threatened
schedule would leave the subject to
the Tariff Board, but It Is said Presl
dent Taft feels that the public ex
pects further tinkering with the
rates on wool and woolens and he Is
determined to accede to their de
mands.
It Is felt by the wool mm that
their side of the case has never been
presented to the public fairly, while
on the other hand they charge the
agitation that has arisen against
them to the mudslinger and muck-
raker in the sensational magazines.
"Schedule K," said I). O. Lively,
chairman of the ifeneral arrange
ments committee, '"will be the meat
of the cocoanut as far as the conven
tion Is concerned. It Is the life of the
wool trade, and when It Is threat
ened the existence of the wool Indus
try Is In danger. Woolgrowers all
over the country are alarmed at the
rapid advancement of the sentiment
for a change In the wool schedules of
the tariff."
The program, ns now outlined. In
cludes many speakers of national
prominence, who avIN speak on tariff
matters and other subjects of vital
Importance to the wool Industry.
A great nlie'i and goat i-how will
beheld In connection with the con
vention, which meets at the armory.
and prize animals from nil over the
country will be on exhibition.
Breeders and wool men ar taking
unusual Interest in the approaching
session and they will attend lu very
large numlnTs, It being expected that
no less than GiHR) people directly In
terested In the sheep business will be
in Portland during the four days of
the con ventlon.

HEIGHTS FOOTBALL TEAM
AFTER BIG RIVAL'S SCALP
Editor News: In regard to the
write-up In the Oregon Journtil. the
Heights football team most heartily
thank Ihe Hood Klver Giants for not
being classed with us. While wp
have lost all three games, we have
played fast teams, while the Hood
Klver (limits have not played a team
this season they have not out
weighed by a large margin. We
could win nearly every game we
played If we would play out of class,
as they have done. The Hood Klver
Giants say they would like to meet
the Oregon City boys. We wish to
say that they bad better look for a
smaller team If they wish to win.
We would like to have the Hood
Klver Giants tell the public why they
did not play The Dalles high school.
We can tell If the Giants won't.
It was because they got cold feet.
Get on the map. Giants.
