BIG INTERESTS HIT SHORTS WITH A CLUB closing by asking- for a loan' of $25, which he promised to pay aa soon as good fortune amiled upon him. Dr. Doran waa about out of ready cash, but believing In the honesty' of the' young man borrowed the sum asgea for and gave it to him. They each went their way and for 10 years no word ever reached the minister telling upon what aort of eoll hie kindness had fallen. . The Incident passed out of his mind ana was forgotten. .. . - . A few daye ago Dr. Doran received a letter bearing the postmark of Port. iana. uregon. tie opened it wonderinfiy, as he knew no one In thla city. He found a postofftoe order for $42. that being the amount due him with Interest at per eent compounded. With the oraer was a note telling Dr. Doran that out In the weet good fortune had smiled upon the young man who 10 years be fore had been the recipient of his kind ness. The bread cast upon the waters had returned, even aa It waa taught In ages past. that had been ordered for a school In Forest Grove, but waa unused. As thla waa largely a dead loaa for the rural ture dealer who had the etuff on hand, he waa glad to mark down bia fljg- urra io a iow point. The original estimates for the furnl ture were about $1,700. The commis sioners hesitated to spend so much, and have delayed ' to await the results of the bargain hunt The home la ready for occupancy, all but the furniture, and the purchaaea now resolved upon will enable Superintendent Nlaley to move bis little colony to the new loca. tlon as soon aa the furniture Is la place.
