During the war between King
Chnrles I. anil his parliament two
English families, the Vincents ami the
Traverses, were living on adjacent es
tates. Young Egbert Travcrs and An
gela Vincent played together as chil
dren; then when the young Cavaliers
were leaving their homes to support
the king and Egbert mnrehed to the
war the parting made them sensible
of the fact that they were lovers. Over
the hedge that separated the two es
tates they plighted their troth, and the
young lover dashed away thinking of
the day when, the Puritans having
been made to know their place and
the authority of the king having been
fully re-established, he would return to
take up the pleasant life he had thus
far led, made far happier by his union
with Angela.
But, as under the struggle of 1SG1 to
18G"i In America there lay, unrecog
nized at the time, the principle of civil
liberty, so under that In England there
was a principle of constitutional gov
ernment. Travers was lighting for the
king as an uncontrolled power, while
his enemies were fighting for the king
as he is today a mere representative
head of the government. The latter
cause triumphed, the king was behead
ed, and those who supported him,
many of them deprived of their es
tates, found themselves without the
means of subsistence.
Sir Edward Vincent, who espoused
the parliamentary cause, had fallen
at the battle of Marston Moor, and his
wife bad died during the strncgle,
lenvlng the Lady Angela an orphan.
The Travers estate was confiscated,
and Egbert Travers, Instead of return
ing to his home, as ho had anticipated
when he set out to fight for the king,
found himself penniless and without a
roof over his head. An aunt of An
gela's had taken what funds she could
get together and gone to Holland.
Angela decided to Join this her only
relative and remain with her till Eng
land became more settled under the
sway of the parliament and the pro
tectorate of Oliver Cromwell.
One evening when traveling toward
the coast Angela heard a shot, the
coach came to a stop, and a man on
horseback appeared at the window,
thrusting In one of those cumbersonio
Implements with a flintlock which In
those days they considered a pistol. A
yellow strip of cloud reflecting the
light of the setting sun shone on the
man's face, while the features of the
lady were concealed from him.
"I'll trouble you fqr your purse," he
said.
The lady handed him a silk purse
well filled.
"And now your jewels."
She removed a brooch from her
throat nnd gave him that too. This
seemed to satisfy him, and he told the
coachman to drive on, but immediate
ly stopped him to ask:
"Are you for the king or the parlia
ment?" "My father died for the parliament;
my betrothed fought for the king!"
The highwayman straightway thrust
his hand into his pocket, took out the
purse and tossed it back into the car
riage. "It's only the cursed Roundheads,"
he said, "whom we force to give us
food while we wait for the return of
King Charlie."
He was feeling for the brooch when
she stopped him.
"Keep It," she said, "for a remem
brance. If I mistake not, you are one
of those young men who, having lost
your possessions in defense of the
king, have taken to the road. The day
may come when we shall meet again.
If so, the brooch may, bo a means of
recognition."
The highwayman lifted his hat;
thanked the lady for her gift and sig
nified to the coachman that he might
drive oh.
King Charles II. was entering Lon
don amid great rejoicings. A carriage
was standing by the curb In the street
where the royal procession must pass.
When the king had gone by n young
man hi the cavalcade, seeing a. face In
the carriage, reined in, crylpg:
"Angela!.'!
"The lust time you were at my car
rlagq window It was for a very differ
ent .purpose," ,she replied.
"What mean you, sweetheart?"
"Sweetheart, Indeed! You robbed
me."
"What, of your heart?"
"Of my heart, forsooth I Of my
purse."
The young man looked confused.
"Wo must needs do something after
Naseby," ho said, hanging bis head,
'but I surely never robbed you, An
gela." "You have a brooch n lady gave
you i"
"A brooch Yes, I have a brooch."
"I gave It to you, saying that soma
day It might be n incaus of recogni
tion." Ills face turned scarlet. The glrj
clapped her bauds In great glee.
"Come," she said, "mayhap you have
been wearing it next your heart, think
ing It to bo tho gift of some fair dame
other than your betrothed."
"Indeed I huvo kept It near my
heart!" he admitted. "Hero it 1h."
And ho produced It.
The estates of these young cople
jnmo again Into their possession.
Mnong the descendants of Egbert and
Angofa Is tho brooch of which Angela
was robbed.
CENTRAL OREGON
CLUBS TO UNITE
Meeting of Delegates to Be Held
in Prineville
A
A call has been issued from
the Prineville Commercial club
for a meeting of delegates from
organizations in Central Ore
gon in that city June 30 and
July 1, for the formation of r
Central Oregon Developmen
League. The Oregon Develop
ment League, which is composed
of all the clubs in the state is
aiding in the move.
"The value of the smaller
development league," said Sec
retary C. C. Chapman, of the
Oregon Development League,
"is that each operates in its own
section and ever so much more
good will result from Centra
being organized as a unit
separate league will give that ter
ritory an entity that never would
be received by the individua
communities. The work of the
central organization will supple
ment that done by each unit on
its own behalf."
Cities in Coook, Wheeler
Grant, Harney and the north
half of Lake and Klamath coun
ties will be eligible to member
ship in the proposed league
Central Oregon is taking an in
terest in the matter and it is ex
pected there will be a large at
tendance at the Prineville meet
ing.
REDMOND EXPECTS
TRAINS JULY 15
Material for Crooked River Bridge
Will Soon Arrive
The latest information regard
ing the probable arrival of Ore
gon Trunk trains into Redmond
has been obtained from Mayor
Jones who was in Portland last
week and conferred with Ex-
President Stevens of the Oregon
Trunk, and Chief Engineer Budd
of the same road. Mr. Jones
stated to a representative of
The Spokesman that the above
gentlemen told him that the
material for the railroad bridge
across Crooked river would be
on the ground ready for erection
by the 15th of this month, and
would be completed between the
4th and 10th of July, and that
trains would be running into
Redmond not later than July
15th.
The delay in building the
Crooked river bridge has been
occasioned by the slowness of
the manufacturers at Pittsburg,
but they are now working under
hurry-up orders, and the above
railroad officials assured Mayor
Jones that Redmond would be
sure to see trains into this city
on the date mentioned above.
It is to be hoped that the rail
road men have not made a mis
take in their calculations, and
that the Oregon Trunk Line will
have their trains running here
by the middle of July in time to
have the postponed 4th of July
celebration hold some time dur
ing the montli of July to com
memorate the arrival of the iron
horse into Redmond and the Red
mond district. Spokesman.
