You are right," she said sfowly. "I
urn fnst n hvsterical woman, starting
at shadows, making mountains out of j
mebills. Forgive me."
.A Pyne went on up the stairs hia
reactions took this shape:
The old man shied at telling her
outright. I wonder why. He is chock
full of tact, the smoothest old boy I
ever fell up against. He thinks there
n: ay have been little troubles here, per-iir.;-s.
Well, I guess he's right."
la the service room he found Brand
dining a lamp calmly and methodic
ally. All the stores had been carried
(lovv.istairs and the storeroom key giv
en over to the purser.
"I am glad you have turned up," said
the lighthouse keeper. "Oblige me by
oi.cniug that locker and taking back
the articles I purloined recently. If
the purser asks for an explanation, tell
hiui the truth and say I am willing to
eat this stuff now for my sins."
Fyne noticed that Brand's own let
tors lay in a small pile on the writing
desk. With two exceptions, they were
unopened. As a matter of fact, he had
glanced at the superscriptions, saw
that they were nearly all from stran
gers and laid them aside until night
fell and the lighting of the lamps would
give him a spare moment.
"I'll do that with pleasure," said the
American, "but there's one thing I
vaut to discuss with you while there
Is ;i chance of being alone. My uncle
says he has written to you."
'To me?"
"Yes. It deals with an important
mailer too. It concerns 'Enid."
"Mr. Traill has written to me about
Enid?" repeated Brand, stopping his
Industrious polishing to see if Pyne
were joking with him.
''1 hat's so. See; hero is his letter.
It will tell its own story. Guess you'd
better read it right away."
The young man picked up one of the
sealed letters on the table and handed
It to the other.
Setting aside a glass chimney and a
wash leather, Brand lost no time in
reading Mr. Traill's communication.
Save that his lips tightened and his
face paled slightly, there was no out
ward indication of the tumult the writ
ten words must have created in his
soul, for this is what met his aston
ished vision:
Dear Mr. Brand I hope soon to make
your acquaintance. It will be an honor to
meet a man who has done so much for
those near and dear to me, but ther6 Is
one reason why I am anxious to grasp
your hand which Is so utterly beyond
your present knowledge that I deem It a
duty to tell you the facts to prepare yon.
In a word.
Circumstances have thrown me Into the
company of Lieutenant Stanhope. We
had a kindred Inspiration. He, I under
stand. Is, in effect if not In actual recorded
fact, the accepted suitor of your adopted
daughter, known as Miss Enid Trevillion.
I, although an older man, can share hia
feelings, because I am engaged to be
married to Mrs. Vansittart, a lady whom
you have, by God's help, rescued. Hence
Mr. Stanhope and I have almost lived to
gether, ashore and afloat, during these
troubled days. Naturally, he spoke of the
girl ho. loves and told me something of
her history. He described the brooch
found on her clothing, and a Mr. Jones,
retired from the lighthouse service, who
was present when you saved the child
from speedy death, informs me that her
linen was marked "E. T."
These facts, combined with the date and
Air. Jones' description of the damaged
boat, lead me to believe that the girl is
my own daughter, Editli Traill, whom
you have mercifully preserved to gladden
the eyes of a father who mourned her
death and the death of her mother for
nineteen years.
I can say no more at present. I am not
making inferences not justified In other
wave; r.o;- r.-i 1 setting up a father's
claim to rob joj of Uie affections of a
beautiful and accomplished daughter. I
will bxs content more than content if
she can give to me a tithe of the love
ehe owes to you,' for. Indeed, In Mr. Stan
hope and In all others who know you,
you have eloquent witnesses. Yours most
sincerely, CYRUS J. TRAILL.
P. S. Let mo add as an afterthought
that only my nephew and you have re
ceived this information. The agonized
suspense which the ladies must have en
dured on the rock is a trial more than
sufficient to tax their powers. If, as I
expect. Mr. Stanhope meets you first, he
will be guided wholly by your advice as
to whether or not the matter shall be
made known to your Enid to my Edith
before she hinds.
Brand dropped the letter and placed
his hands over his face. lie yielded
for an Instant to the stupor of the in
telligence. Pyne came near to him and said,
with an odd despondency in bis voice:
"Say. you feel bad about this. Guess
you'll hate our family in future."
"Why should I hate any one who
brings rank and fortune to one of my
little girls?"
"Well." went ou Tyue anxiously,
"she'll be Mrs. Stanhope, anyhow, be
fore she's much older."
"That appears to be settled. All
things have worked out for the best.
Most certainly your excellent uncle and
I shall not fall out about Enid, If it
comes to that we must share her. as a
'daughter."
Pyne brightened considerably;, as he
learned how Brand had taken the
blow. '
"Oh, bully:" he cried. "That's a clear
way out Do you know, I was begin
ning to feel scared. I didn't count a
little bit on my respected uncle setting
op a tiue to Enid!"

"Please, can Mamie 'n me see the
man?" she asked, a trifle awed. She
did not expect to encounter a stern
faced official in uniform.
"What man, dearie?" he said, and
instantly the child gained confidence,
with that prompt abandonment to a
favorable first Impression -M-hich marks
the exceeding wisdom of children and
dogs.
She directed an encouraging sotto
voce down the stairs:
"Come right 'long, Mamie."
Then she . answered, clasping the
hand Pyne extended to her, but eying
Brand the while:
"The man who brought the milk."
She wondered why they laughed, but
the lighthouse keeper caught her up In
his arms. ?..-
"He has, gone away, sweetheart," ha
said, "bur when he comes in the morn
ing I shall send for you, and you will
see him. You are the little girl who
was injured, eh? Are you getting bet
ter?" ... , f
Elsie, having seen Mamie safely ex
tracted from the stairway, became vol
uble. ; . "My elbow is stiff but it doesn't
hurt, I was feelin' pretty bad fore
the milk came, but Mamie an me had
a lovely lot an' some beautiful jelly.
Fine, wasn't it, Mamie?"

"Surely you have not kept your face
as clean as it Is now ever since you
left the ship?"
"Oh, no," put In Mamie.. . We've Just
been; rubbed with a hanky."
"And sent out to pay a call?"
"Not 'zactly," said truthful Mamie,
"Mr. Pyne told us to wait near the
door"
"That s an old story now," Inter
vened Pyne quickly. , "Climb up on
my shoulder and have a look at the
sea. Perhaps there may be a ship
too." ' :
"What did Mr. Pyne tell you?" whis
pered Brand, pretending to make a se
cret of It with Elsie.
"There didn't seem to be 'nuff to
eat," she explained seriously, "so Mr.
Pyne kep' a bit of biscuit In his pocket,
an' Mamie an' me had a chew every
time we saw him." ;
"H'm!" murmured the man, glanc
ing up at his young friend as he
walked around the trimming stage
with the delighted Mamie. "I suppose
he asked you not to tell anybody?"
"We wasn't to tell Miss Constance
or Miss Enid. An' they tole us we
wasn't to tell him about the sweet stun
they put in our tea. That is all. Fun
ny, isn't it?"
Brand knew that these little ones
were motherless. His eyes dimmed
somewhat. Like all self contained
men, he detested any exhibition of sen
timent. "I say," he cried huskily to Pyne,
"you must escort your friends back to
their quarters. No more Idlingj please."
"An you will really send for us. to
morrow to see tho milkman?" said El
sie. Notwithstanding his sudden grate
ness she was not afraid of him. She
looked longingly at the great lamp and
the twinkling diamonds of the dioptric
lens.
"Yes. I will not forget Goodby,
now, dearie."
The visit of the children had given
him a timely reminder. As these two
were now, so had L!j own loved ones
been in years that might not be re
called. The nest would soon be empty, the
young birds flown. He realized that
he would not be many days ashore be

In Spite of Trial A Strange End-
ing t Insanity Case.
Maud iiurt-Cremeld to Oregon
nA inrn them over tn iht cnivr,
gon must declare them insane.
If the s superintendent of the
Oregon, asylum obeys the laws of
Oregon, he will refuse to admit
the women until they have been
committed in Oregon. If he re
fuses : to accept them, 1 Sheriff
Smith will have no authority to
bring them back here for trial.
A writ of habeas corpus sued o'lt
by the women - as soon as they
enter Oregon , would . prevent
Sheriff Smith from even taking
them to the asylum. The order
of Judge. Frater is not binding on
any of the authorities in Oregon.
Prosecuting Attorney Mackin
tosh is determined that the wo
men shall stand trial fo the mur
der. He asserts that he will ex
haust every legal means within
bis power to prevent their escap
ing trial by jury as the law pro
vides. Mr. Mackintosh said this
morning:
"If I were to submit to those
two women being taken out of
the state without trial I would be
unfit to hold my office. Those
two women are going to be tried,
and I intend to do my utmost to
have them tried. No insanity
commission can prevent my bring
ing assassins to justice. If the
jury wishes to turn them loose,
that is their province,
'No court has a right to free
them and make life unsafe in the
community, I will not be a par
ty to any such proceedings. The
women will not leave this county
until all my power is exhausted
to prevent it, I shall apply to
the supreme court, for a writ of
prohibition. I will ask the sm
preme - 'court"' to! aid in forcing
Judge Frater to try the women."
Buying Pheasants.
In Corvallis, where more china
pheasants are bred for market
than in any otlrer town probably
in the state, ' the following item
from the " Albany Herald will be
read with much interest :
"A carload of Chinese pheas
ants will be'shipped from Oregon
to Kansas within ' a few weeks,
and the Sunflower state will give
the birds protection for five years.
Raising china pheasants for ex
port is one of the thriving infant
industries of the Beaver state.
Game Warden Travis has taken
up the matter with Oregon fan
ciers, and has negotiated for the
purchase of 1000 pairs of birds.
The first figure was $5 a pair,and
by the time Mr. Travis had raised
that sum the fanciers run the
price up to $7.50. This stopped
the deal temporarily, but now
Kansas wants the pheasants if
they cost $5 each."

of the firm of Rilyeu A Hirstel, meehnii
cal engineers, of Portland. Both boys
are old-time students and are well and
favorably known here. They are pros
pering beyond their fondest expectations
and at present are getting out the largest
dredge ever built, to be used on the Ka
lama ditch. The machine has a capacity
of taking'out seven tons of earth per min
ute and is designed to dig the ditch in
one year, .although the length of the
ditch is to be 100 miles, i he dredge will
be run by a five-drum logging engine,
and will be one of the greatest inventions
of the day. 1 he Portland J ournal recent
ly gave a very fine write-up of the same.
At present the boys are getting out the
designs for all the Mt. Hood electric road
that is to be built from Portland to Mt
