Years before, when tho senoritu bad

"I think you knew my father," said tho
stranger, "llowus stationed here at tho
Presidio years ago, and I have often heard
Mm speak of this charming old town."
"Your fathulre here;"
"Yes, my father, Ceueral Saunders
Lieutenant Saunders when he was hern."
There was u profound silence. The
straight, slim llgure sinned turned to
stone. The great dark eyes hsikcd out
from under tho folds of the black tas'lo
with sad Intensity ntiil curliest scrutiny.
Tom Saunders felt us If he were confront
ed by some vaguo, unknown tragedy. Ills
young wife, too, was exH'rlc ncing a sensa
tion as If she were looking on nt a mys
terious phase of human emotion, and
drawing near her hiisliand clasped his urm
with both her hands and turned her sweet
face, full of tender sympathy, toward tho
seimrlta. Kor an Instant they stood thus,
three souls looking out of their windows
t i scan each the other with searching
looks. The senoritu spoke first: "SI, sa
ilor," she said In u low, grave voice, "I did
know your fathulro long time ago. Ho
lisik like you ah, I "o o be ecs well si?"
"Did you not know but of course you
would not liavo heard" said Saunders
sadly, "my father Is dead. He tiled a
month ago."
"He ccs dead?'' lopcatcd the ceiiorlta
mechanically.
"Yes," wild Saunders. "And before ho
died he charged mo with n facred commis
sion. Ho knew that I wes coming hero on
my Wedding Journey. Ho railed me to
hliu one day and said: 'When you get
then, 1 want you to hunt up Senoritu
Ygnaela Hoiiaventurii. Tell her for mo
that now as 1 tiin Hearing death, I see with
clearer vision, and that I regret tho past.
Tell her that lis I Ho here racked with
pain I long, oh, I long, for tho coolness
and quiet of her roso gardi n, and that In
tho long watches of each restless night 1
smell again the perfume from the golden
roses 1 planted before her door.' "
There was u sound of sobbing us Saun
ders finished his pal bet In message. It
came from bis wife, who was profoundly
affected by thu situation, lint the wnoiita
did not weep. Her white fieo was tense
In Its agony, but not a tear glistened In
her somber eyes. She held out her hand
to the son of her old love. Ho tool; It In
hot Ii bis nlid pressed It gently. "Shu has
sutTered for my father's miLo." was tho
thought that Hashed through his mind,
and bo lieiit Ills head and laid n reverent
kiss upon the senorlta's brown, toll worn
band.
As Saunders and his wife were le-tving,
their linns filled with branches and clus
ters of thotiold of Ophlrroscs, the senoritu
held ois'ii tho gato for them. When Saun
ders passed her, sho laid In Ids bund tho
king of all that year's blossoms, n great

Honrs after their departure tho senoritu

Tho next morning they tried In vain to

The salaries paid county officials
in the elate of Washington seem
more in keening with hard times
and thesalories paid otlur employ
es than do thoso in Oregon. There
are seven counties in Washington,
the largest salaries paid in any of
which are as follows: Mierill, TlU iU;
clerk, ifOOO; treasurer, $1)00; dis
trict alt .mev, ifhOO; superintendent
of schools, $('00; assessor, flOoO,
These salaries are under tho new
schedule which was passed by the
last legislature, and in some ol the
more thickly populated counties as
Spokano and. WnlU Walla the
highest salaries paid are liul f ifwnj
and $1100 respectively for clerk
and iH'JOO and $1500 respectively

One week from lodav the legis
lature agu n meets, rrom present
indications important legislation so
badly needed will be lorced to the
rear by the senatorial question. A
lew months aio it seemed as if Mr
Mitchell would he elected without
much opposition, but this has
chiiiiged since he came to Oregon
and delivered forty speeches for
McKinley and the gold standard,
after having for eighteen years lieen
u radical supporter of the while
metal. Now u portion of the gold
ites are lighting him under the
leadeiship of his old enemy, lUr
vey Scott, and the populists and
democrats now are intending to
koep in tho middle of the rond on
account of his coming to Oregon
and currying the state agiinst Mr
Ilryan. Many of the liest in
formed men claim that the needud
legisl.i'iuM will he overlooked, and
that this lec.is! in rn will bo worse
than the disgraceful one of two
years igo.
There ure 5:10 registered citizens
of the IJ nit"! Stales in Jerusalem.
Of thr-r, MS are Jews. Almost all
the tfhers are Second Adventists.
The SpoH'ordilu there, or "Over
conn r-." as thev call themselves,
has recently been increased by un
addition of 117 Swedish Americans
mostly from Chicago. Tho leader,
.Mrs Spu fiord, lays claim to pro
phetic powers, claiming to lie nude
ihe direct protection of the Al
mighty, and she is averse to hav
ing any human power interfere.
We do not know whether this is a
religious or leminine trait on her
part. We can understand the Je
going back to Jerusalem, because
there is where their race first estab
lished its power. It is theru where
their literature became marked.
They believe that tiiere, too, their
raco will be restored and united,
and, as communications sre quick,
ened and cheapened, the trado of
the Holy Land because of the in
creasing travel there Htinuully, is
becoming a feature. Il is a region
filled with sacred' riicinuriwt, al
though we have heard more than
one visitor there lay, "Do not go to
Jcrsusalcm or thu Holy Lund. It
is all so small and mean and petty,
that your present reverence for the
the pluce and its memories w ill be
shocked by a visit there." Still, it
is the place around whieh the in
terest of the world centers more
than any . ther. D pbe')' that it
will bo possible, with lime and
money, lo give great majesty to,
and not reckoning tune us men
reckon it, but by the slow swing
