PORTERS ARE VICTORIOUS.
Judge Grants Them Right to Block
Road Against Harriman,
Moro, Or., Aug. 9. Judge Butler late
Saturday night dissolved the temporary
injunction issued aaginst Porter Bros.
This means that Twoby Bros, will not
be permitted to cross the Gurtz ranch
with supply teams and equipment for
toe Deschutes Railway company.
Not to be outdone, Harriman's legal
representatives at once filed condemna
tion proceedings against Porter Bros,
in an effort to force an entrance to the
disputed territory through the property
oi tneir rivals.
Arguments in the injunction case oc
cupied two days in the circuit court
here. A night session was also held
to expedite the hearing. There was
long array of legal talent for both eon-
testing parties.
The evidence showed that the plain
tiffs secured certain rights to go over
these certain lands with their wscrons
and outfits, and on the strength of
these rights, expended $8,000 in con
structing a grade down the canyon of
the JJescuhtes to the railroad right of
way. But no deeds were taken by the
plaintiffs from the land owners, nor
any agreements in writing. Porter
Bros, saw the opportunity and purchas
ed from the land owners the lands over
which this road ran, and immediately
upon securing possession under these
contracts stopped the Deschutes Rail
way company from Bending in supplies
over the road.
While the temporary injunction was
in force, the Deschutes Railway com
pany had been sending in about 10 to
15 wagon loads of provisions to the riv
er each day.
EDWARD MAKES WINNING.
Britain's Ruler Cleans Up SI, 000,000
on Steel Stock.
New York, Aug. 9. By speculating
on the stock of the United States Steel
corporation, King Edward, of Eneland.
has just cleared more than $1,000,000
as the harvest of a three-months' cam
paign, according to a story told today.
The story was given out in Wall
street and much comment was made on
the significant fact that the king'i
agents placed his commission immedi
ately after a visit paid him by J. P.
Morgan, who knows considerable about
steel.
Not only has the crowned head of
England profited by speculation in Wall
street, but it became known that Ger
man royalty has been buying steel and
other American stocks, all of which
have made substantial advanced to the
material benefit of the royal coffers.
It was three months ago when Kine
Edward's agents went into Wall street
for steel. A short time before that
Mr. Morgan had visited the king, and
during the interview is supposed to
nave given toward VII a tip.

CIIAPTEK V.
Three day pasard before anything fur
ther happened to disturb my equanimity
of mind, and I was setting back to my
accustomed serene outlook on the beach
when at dinner I found t tiny note lying
at my plate. Charles frequently stopped
at the reuguin Club on his way from
market inc. to see if by chance any mall
had lodued there for me. This time he
had discovered the diminutive missive
aforesaid tucked Into the box that was
reserved for me, and which usually con
tained onlv the dailv napers. The en-
velope was square and of a delicate ahade
between violet and gray, and my name
was written on It in a fine, bom nana.
Inside was a single sheet :
"My Dear Mr. rirate or Hermit (which
aver vnn aral :
"I shall visit the Ship Friday sftsr-
noon when the tide is low.
There was no name, not even a bare
initial.
I looked at my calendar I was apt to
foreet the davs of the week ana tounn
that it was already Friday. I folded up
the note and put It In my pocket, hardly
knowing whether to be vexed or pleased.
The truth of the matter Is that I found
.Miss Graham's last visit disconcerting,
It seemed absurd, but she had In some
strange manner changed the tone of the
beach. Instead of being a place for calm,
solitary musing, It had assumed the as
pect of a spot made for company. I had
never before felt the need of pointing out
the oink shades of the sanda and the
golden cresta of the rolling combers, nor
of requiring another's admiration of the
circling gulls. Now 1 did. and ths result
was that the more beautiful tbe beacn,
the mora Testless was I, and this did not
suit me at all. I was not so dull ai to
miss the cause of this change, and that
was the reason why the note both vexed
and pleased me. I was vexed that 1
should be glad, and yet glad that I was
In the way of being further vexed.
I looked at tbe barometer after din
ner : It was falling. I glanced at the
sky : It was still a deep, dome-like blue,
but there were clouds stealing across It
that betokened storm. The wind was
veering into tbe northeast; we might
have bad weather at a moment notice.
At the appointed time I went up the
beach and clambered aboard the ship.
There was no one on board. I descend
ed Into the cabin; that was empty. I
climbed the stairs, and, coming again on
deck, saw Miss Graham starting across
the causeway. It was low tide, and the
path was above water, covered with
shells and barnacles. I threw 07er a
rope-ladder that I had made and hung at
the side, and helped her on boarl. Hhe
.had on a soft, white lace hat that drop
ped at the edges and looked delightfully
summery. Her gown was white; Indeed
tbe only color she wore was a gold chain
and locket that hung low about her neck
She pointed proudly to her stout tan
walking-shoes.
"I am wiser to-day, she said; "mucli
mors of a sea-woman.
I bad thought once before that I hal
tasted fully the sense of exploration of
the Ship, but now I found that I had
not. Like two inquisitive children play
ing at being explorers, we ransacked
every corner of the cabin, thumping the
boards for secret hiding-places, peering
Into the dim recesses of the bunks. She
opened the brass-bound chest. "There
was nothing found In It 7" she asked.
Nothing.
It seems a shame. How are we ever
to niid the clue If not In the chest?"
We must look for it out of doors." I
said. "Perhaps If we wish hard enouh
the spirits of the old rovers will come
back."
So I took cushions that lay with mv
painting things and made ber a seat nn
deck, and 1 lighted my nine, and tnM k..
an i bad dreamed about the Ship, and
now i was sure, it we only bad sufficient
faith, that a man would come out of th
sea to sail ber again and bring her as
nne adventures as any she had known.
tlow different you are from n r
tne men i nave met 1" she said. "Now
you seem quite in your setting. It al
most makes me doubt that I'm only six
hours from town."
lou're not, you're a thousand nu
from town, In another world. In nai..
sphere. We don't talk the language of
iuyiu uui nere on in BMp; we talk a
different tongue."
bhe shifted so that she could lank -
the sea, her chin still nronned i v
hand. "Talk that tongue." ah. Ud w
that little tone of command peculiar ttt
her.
I talked of the sea and shin. .
ores hidden under tbe waves, of derelicts
that Boated for years itkm.i
sighted, of tbe Ancient Mariner and to
Flying Dutchman and all the thousand
and one legends of ghost ships snd their
crews. Meanwhile I watched her, took
In the dreamy lustre of her yaa m
that shaded to blue th. ft t, f1
of her cheek, and brow, the curling goM
of her hair beneath her big whits W
and th. delicate little hand that plllowea
her chin. I noted the 1,.. ,
flat, with her Initial, n n Z.ZLT'T
and the heavy gold ll. o he chain
that soft!, stirred with her even hSS
who had come to change Alastalr.

saroera looked up I think It WM
then that I first called her Barbara to
mvself and over at me.
"The world Itself Is so much more
wonderful than anything It contains, snd
the beauty of it all so much greater than
any .Ingle beauty. Isn't It?"
I could not agree, looking Into ber
deep, sariou. eyes, so I held my peace.
"Why is it, I wonder, that we only
think these things, only really live, so
rarely r
There was something in her words that
made me hope; they seemed to say that
she had often felt thus.
"One exists so much, but lives so lit
tie," I said ; "but I could Imagine circum
stances when one would be always living."
Her eyes changed, the depths In them
vanished, there lay only the surface light
that mocked me.
"One J" she echoed.
"Two," I answered. The moment of
thought was over; she had changed as
swiftly sa the shadow of on. of those
clouds flying beneath th. sun.
"You are a great dreamer," .he said.
"Are you also a man of action, I won
der?"
"Give me the chance."
"Give you the chance? Men of action
don't wait for the chance ; they make It,"
"If I were Canute, I would order the
tide to come in."
The red blood flushed her cbeeki, her
eyelids dropped. I forget everything but
the picture that she mad. th. loveliest
picture that I had ever seen or dreamed.
Next moment she sprang up. "But
tb. tide I. still out," sh. said, "and all
your wishes will not bring It in. I must
be going home.
I was up and standing beside her, lean
lng on the bulwark. "But you will come
again? You'll come again to th. Ship
and take tea with me, or take supper on
th. Ship? When will It be?"
"Walt ; not for a day or two."
She crossed the deck, and, drawing out
a small handkerchief, held It to the
breexe.
"The wind is from the northeast," she
said. TThat means a storm. We may
have to wait many days."
"Several, not many," I answered.
Bhe gave a little cry ; the handkerchief
bad blown from her hand and over to the
shore,
"Get It for ma." ah. uld
The Inland .a. vai nm t T
the handkerchief and came back, to find
ner naif way across tbe causeway.
"Thank you. This Is th. second way
you aeviaea ot leaving the ship on foot."
"But It's not the best wav."I an.w.rad
I went with her to the great gate of
tne ciud and said good-night.
"Oh!" said she. "We fnnrnt .nd
the cushions lying on the deck. It may
rain. & goou sailor should make things
tight."
"I will," I assured her.
A storm was cerralnlv mmln.. u

In tbe bough, of the pine, as I hurried

climbed on the ship. As I picked up th.
cushions something .lid .u .
