The 'Result of a Case
of School Loh)c,
Original.
Ensliin Schuyler Noble, attached to
rnitwl States battleship Prairie, was
in trouble. Trairle was not the name
tt the ship. It wouldn't do to give
ber real name, for she was named In
honor of one of the western states and
the parties to this story mipht be iden
tified. Nor was Noble the name of the
tnsign, nor are any of the names here
riven real names. lnt that has noth
ing to do with the story. Noble was
In a fix, the most usual fix In the world
Tor a sailor he had too ninny girls.
He had only two. but it Is a question
tf a dozen might not be more readily
managed than two. If the two had
been la different ports the problem
might have been simpler, but they
were not. They were that Is. for the
present In the same port, and that
was where the Prairie had just been
launched.
I.sey Archibald's right and title, so
Tar as 'priority goes, were indisputable.
the and Noble had been classmates at
the high school where Noble had pre
pared for the Naval academy and had
become Involved In a case of puppy
love. Every one wondered how Noble
rould fancy her, for she was a trifle
loud In appearance and given to slang.
To tell the truth, he was not badly
wounded by the dart that pierced him.
for instead of Cupid having sent it
f.ucy had fired it herself. In other
words, given a boy of sixteen and a
srirl of eighteen and the boy is putty in
the hands of the girl.
P.ut Noble was noble in nature a
well as in name and wouldn't go back
on even a schoolboy's pledge. This was
all very well till he met Camelia Tryne.
a daughter of an admiral and a very
lovely girl, to whom the young sailor
became speedily attached.
"What are you doing with your flag
tip union down. Schuyler?" asked
Lieutenant Mansfield just before the
launching.
Noble made a Confidant of his friend,
telling him about his superfluity of
girl. Mansfield told him to take in his
distress signal, apparent on his counte
nance, and try to find some way out
of the dilemma.
The state for which the Prairie was
named had presented the ship with a
complete set of silver tableware, and
as soon as the vessel slid out Into deep
water and the shouting and the firing
were over invited gnests went below to
partake of a luncheon at which this
service was used. Now, the captain
had commissioned Mansfield to have
lookouts at the gangways and other
wise take precautions that no thieves
come aboard with the gnests to get
away with valuables. Mansfield took
fucIi steps to protect property as he
doomed effectual.
A salute of champagne corks follow
ed the guns fired on shore, and the
guests fell to in disposing of the dain
ties prepared for them, after which
they passed up the coinpanionway to
the deck, where they strolled abo'ut or
stood chatting in groups. Lucy Archi
bald had captured Ensign Noble, who
was promenading with her. and in
stead of looking happy the "union
down" floated plainer than ever from
his masthead. The girl insisted on tak
ing him back and forth past the admi
ral's party, where Miss Tryne saw
them, wondered and wrapped herself
In a mantle of cool dignity.
It was about this time that some
thing happened. There were aboard a
number of maidservants, dressed in
the conventional livery of black dresses
and white ruffled aprons, whose osten
sible duties were to serve the ladies,
Suddenly Noble saw his friend Mans
field come up the companion way with
one of these maids and point to his
companion, Lucy Archibald. The maid
advanced and said to Lucy In a low
voice:
"I have to trouble you for the spoon."
"What spoonr
"The one you took from the officers'
mess."
"Oh," said Lucy, coloring, "I wanted
it for a souvenir."
Feople were looking when she opened
a vanity bag hanging from her wrist
snd, taking out a silver spoon marked
"U, S. S. rrairle," surrendered it to the
maid.
Now, there was a part of this story
that Lieutenant Mansfield did not, at
least at the time, tell Ensign Noble.
Knowing of the mania among ladies
?vea of apparent respectability to take
articles for souvenirs, he had engaged
?evoral women detectives, dressing
them in maids' uniforms to watch. Aft
?r the luncheon they interviewed pri
vately the ladies thoy had caught pil
Tering and recovered a couple of dozen
?poons and other small articles be
longing to the ship's new service.
Mansfield in order to extricate his
'riond from his double girl dilemma
had made a public example of Miss
Archibald, leaving N'b.'e to consider
'or a thi". The other cases Noble
rf-;;s ji'.'t i::forrr!-'d of.
Kven bad Noble really loved the girl
't is doubtful if he would have remain-
?d engaged to her after this episode, j
At any rae. next morning Miss ArchI-
bald roceivd a note from Lim break- j
!ng the cnagpment, and his captain, I
?oached by Mansfield, ordered him J
away on special duty, so that the sou-
venir girl, as she came to be called,
rouidn't get him again Into ber
rlutches.
When the Prairie went Into commls
:i n, Mansfield and Noble both being
?:riong her officers, Mansfield told his
friend that Lucy was no more of a
Ibief than a considerable numler f
nthers of the guests, but by this time
Noble had found a new anchorage la
'he admiral's family, and it was too
'.ate for him to rectify any injustice he
may have done his former fiance..
BEATRICE TUCKER.
Will Inspect Sheep.
Wit'i i he brat of November the
bureau o' niimul husbandry will
commence the iuiuuhI inspection of
the sheep of Oregon and Idaho, ar
rangements for which have just
been competed by Dr. S. V, Mc
Clure, m charge of the bureau's
work in the northwest.
During tie coming two months
1 government inspectors will look
over every band of sheepin the two
states, inspecting carefully in a
search for scabies. EleveD men
will be employed in the work in
this state.
By January 1 their task will be
practically completed. November
and December are chosen for in
spection as during these months
the sheep are in their winter ieed
lots and several bands can often be
exHmined in the course of a day.
There is practically no scab in
Oregon, according to the local offi
cers, unless a few ieolnted cases
show up down in the valley, but
for the most part the sheep are in
very Batisfuc'ory condition. Also
the Idaho flocks are practically free
from the diseas1, but the inspec
tion soou to be undertaken will
make matters doubly eure.
Polk county with its rock crush
er has been doing much good road
work.
A tract of nearly 4,000 acres in
the northeast part of Umatilla
county was eold for about 82-4,000.
Haines Record: Large quanti
ties of grain come in daily from the
flat east of towu,. where until the
past year or so, land was consid
ered suitable only for the produc
tion of sage brush.
The children of a Hood River
county man were chased by a cou
gar while they were driving a cow
to the spring for water. The cou
gar became irightened, at the cow
it is supposed, and ran off into the
brush.
A Madras farmer has experi
mented with a number of varieties
of corn BDd has had marked suc
cess, the corn maturing well and
yielding heavily.
Hood River News-Letter: Pro
ducers of fine fruits through out the
northwest and particularly those
of Oregon, fully appreciate the
help they are receiving from Port
land merchants, who give up their
show windows for a display of these
products.
Woodburn Independent: The
farmers generally feel good. They
had good crops with everything
but the potatoes, which are a little
short on account of unusually early
frosts, and prices have been good.
They also receive a fair price for
their cream and high prices for
butter and eggs.
A Wallowa busi ness man says
that building operations there are
progressing rapidly, many having
already been started and rapidly
ceanng completion. Still others
are contemplated. The past few
months have seen more develop

Enterprise things are no less active.
Many large real estate transfers
have been made of late.
