"The Patterson yard, at Olequa.
looked well; evidently much work had
been done there up to dato. the nature
of tbe soil admitting cultivation.
Tl-roughout the Willamette valley I
may aav that I Mud the yurda in more
forward condition, although quite a
number of growers havo not yet com
menced to cultivate. This ia notice-
ante on low-lying ground. On tho
higher npland prairies the young vines
are coming up atrong and healthv.
especially where theie waa fall cultiva
tion. At Hampden (irange, on Klliott
Praiiie. whora my firm coutrola a large
yard, we have vines up to the wirea,
which are 10 feet above the the ground,
but wo alao have a poition of our yarda
where the outlook is not so reaaaoring,
bocauae we could nut do any fall plow
ing. However, fiom what I obaerved
in Clackamas, Mai ion, Linn and Polk
counties, I have come to the conclusion
that we have the pioaiect ol a very ex
cellent crop, taking of courae into con
aideration that for the paat two or three
years n great number of yarda have
been allowed to ileteiiorate on account
of pooi or lack of cultivation. In aome
eectiona I have noticed tho young
shoots are already being attacked by
the aplna, but I do not attach much
importance to thia aa a few riaya of hot
weather ia aufticient to kill off the
'giouml crop' of thia peat. It ia tho
June-July brood of the aphis that plays
such havoc in our hop tielria, hut aa we
ate now having our full ahare of pre
cipitation it is reasonable to infer that
when the weather aettlea we shall get
out just due of aunehiue and warm
weather, and as wo are having an ab
normal amount of rain now, it ia but
fair to predict we ahall have a cone
m Hiding iiiumier and fall of dry
weather.
"On the whole I am well astiarle.l
with the outlook, both from a mer
chant's and gfowct's point of view.
Thia ia the situation: Should nil hop
growing sections of the world lie equal
ly well favored as Oregon and Wash
ington, the production of thia year's
crop might be in exceaa of what is
anted, but 1 do not look for thia, as
my obeeiYationi for many years lead
me to the conclusion that when one
section is well-favored, anothei eoction
suffera correspondingly, either from
dlOOtb, bail, wind, frost or aphis. The
DOW crop will therefore come on an al
most bare market) and 1 look for prices
that will recoup the glowers fur the
past loaaoa."

beauty, 1 must coufras that masculine
eyea 40 yeara old are possibly some
what more susceptible to feminine
beauty aged IS than would be true of
the referee proposition.
I had known Kitty abottl a year, and
being rich, as wealth Is computed In

being poor, 11a poverty la computed til
Uioat anywhere, 1 waa received with
more enthusiasm tierhiuia than mlirlit

there were times when I have seen
Kitty smile on a nephew of mine, w ho
was my cashier, Iu a fashion which
forced DM to wonder If she would have
done ao hud be been 40 and rich. In

waa. But I did not permit trifles of

position thai "ben I was ready to nak

utlvely.
There was not another girl In Bran
don who wouldn't have boon glad of
Kitty's opiKirtuiiitles. and why not
Kilty?
"Why not, Indeed':" I chuckled, well
satisfied with myself; ami 1 went about
my affairs whistling with much con
tent. On such occasions my nephew waa
wont to look up from his desk as I
paaaad along, but he would any noth
ing. Next nfter Kitty my most particular
admiral ion was the w idow Price, her
uuut, with whom she lived, nnd In con
Junction with w hom she taught a small
private school, whereby they managed
to eke out 11 fairly comfortable exist
ence In a coininuulty where existence
came cheaply. v.
Many Is the time I have Intimated to
aunt Price that some day life would bo
t-usier for her, all on account of Kitty,
and It was only necessary that she
wait n little longer with tbe same beau
tiful patience which hail characterized
her life even when the shadows were
heaviest. Then 1 felt nil overwhelm
ing desire to put my arms around her
plump ami pretty waist and let her rest
her tired head on the Ihisoiii of her de
voted nephew-In-law-to-be, but I al
ways restrained myself, though there
were times when there were (ears In
her eyes, nnd I hnve observed that
when women weep they weep more
satisfactorily If they have a manly
bosom to sob their sorrows out upon.
Incidentally I might sny that Kitty's
rhapci'oii was a dozen or nmre years
uliler than her charming niece and
allowed very plainly lu every line of
her face and graceful curve of her fig
tire where Kitty got her beauty, and
this wns a comfort to me, for I was
fairly possessed of good looks, as had
been my father and mother before me,
and their brothers and sisters, so that
I hud an ancestral predisposition to
hereditary traits along the beauty lines,
as It were.
One evening I called upon Kitty
with my mind fully made up that I
would propose to her on thai occasion,
as I had been growing more and more
frequent about the Price cottage, and
people would soon begin to talk open
ly, ns they hud already begun to whis
per. I)lck, my nephew, hus there
When I arrived, but as he had been there
many times previously and alwayi
obediently arose and departed when Ids
uncle came, I gave the matter no
thought mid cheerily told the hoy be

some of his friends, aa I would walk
home. When the front door closed and
shortly thereafter we beard the noise
of wheels dying nwny down the street
I thought I saw a look of patfl In Kit
ty's face, but I did Hot seak of It
That trap would he furs lu a lew
months, and then the dear girl would
never have to sit at home for luck of
her ow n vehicle.
For an hour or more I talked to Kit
ty BOCta lis I hud done on other even
ings, mid then I uskcu fur to be my
wife.
I waited a moment when I had asked
this Important question and wns sur
prised that Kitty did DO) throw heraelf
In my arms, or, lit bust, with 11 aby

;)n the contrary, she bt ran to cry, ami,
asking me lo excuse her, she went out
of the room.
1 do not know that nny man who
rends t Ii Ih slory has ever asked a worn
in to marry him. and tlu ti have her
walk out and leave him sitting alone
w ith bis thoughts. To him I Mod not
slate how I felt; lo any other It would
be Impossible.
Ten minutes or, perhaps, a dozen,
though It seemed to ! a week, had
passed and then I be door oieried and
I arose to meet Kitty and receive her
affirmation of my suit, the dear, rierv
ua little creature.
But It waa not Kitty.

wltb a wave of her aoft white band to

aarue time acatlng herself In tbe chair

I was entirely unbalanced by thia
procedure, but I obeyed.
