NEW GAME FOR YOUNG F0LKS J
WHO LIKE TO FEEL FOOLISH
Therela a nsw game in town that
brlnga delight to the hearts of the af
fectionate young man and hla maid.
It la walking the ralla to and from
Council Croat. In building tht exten
sion, the . Portland Railway company
haa used aa extra heavy rail, the top of
which ia ao broad that it la no great
feat to walk it without aid. But tha
young men and women who delight to
wander through woodlands and delle
and "hold hand a and feel foollah," aa
the eeylng la, are ualng thla new rail
to anawer their purpose.
. Th plan la for the young woman te
get on one rU and har "eteady" on the
other and then they go walking up or
dowa the new line, ,each balancing the
other. Of course in thla gam there
are no rules how tight you muet hold
your partner's hand. Teeterday after
noon there were an unusually - large
number of visitors to Council Crest,
nearly, all of them following the line
ef the new railway, because It la a
much eherter than the old route by the
Patton road or the Mountain boulevard.
There are well-beaten paths on each sids
of the track but to use them people
have to walk elngle file.-
Yesterday afternoon at one point on
the down grade It or 11 couples were
In sight at one time and each of them
war playing th new game. , There
were a number of those girlish cries of
"Now, Georgs, be sure end hold
straight," while now and then the pres
sure of some ardent swsln'e hand be
came too strong and a dear awaet voice
would say, "Charlie, don't hold my hand
ee tight, for It makea my ring hurt
me." - .
The game la popular but th real
romance of the walk cornea , when the
ahadea of night are beginning to fail,
for in tba duaky twilight when going
through a ahady piece of woodland it
la necessary for George, or Charlie or
Fred to give 'the little hand, a reassuring
pressure that he la present to guard his
fslr ons sgalnat danger. And doea the
girl object to thla reassuring pressure?
Well, ask any ef them who played the
new game laat evening of "walking th
rails."
afternoon. Charles Chsrry of Mount
Tabor, who waa near by when the acci
dent took plaos, says that two young
men from the city while hunting- became
aeparated in the denae undergrowth, and
that one of them received nearly a full
charge ef ahot In hla breast at close
range. Mr. Cherry la of the opinion
that the wounded man was badly hurt.
He refused to teU hi name, replying,
when esked to hie Identity, thst "that
waa hie own business."
