Statehouse, Salem,' Ore., Feb. 16 By throwing all his persamoi iuflu ence Into the ba'ance In favor of the substitute for House Mir 349; by Mil ler, of Columbia, relating to the abol ishment" of county high schools, which1 pajssd the house yesterday afternoon by a small majority, Speaker Rusk has kicked up the liveliest kind of a row among his; own constituency. Not only did Sutto:'i of Lane, impugn hla motives on the floor but a dele gation from Rusk's home territory headed by Jay Dobbin, a wealthy far mer, reached the capilol shortly af ter the bill was passed, too late to protest, and its members made proph ecies as to what would happen to Rusk In case he 'ask3 for political preferment in future. It seems that a few years ago, En terprise, Joseph and Wallowa enter ed a contest for a county high school. Enterprise, the county seat, won, but Joseph and Wallowa citizens eiv tered Into an agreement to send no pupils there. Deip:te .this fact, it is said the . school has prospered.

Klrard Fowler, Overlook Jersey Farm, Cerear Calif. - ' T9r8 high school and Wallowa a similar institution costing $30,000 The purpose of Miller's bill Is to make it possible to vote on the ques tion of abolishing the county high schools on petition of ; 100' elec tors. Rusk is accused of having had the bill introduced with the inten tion of calling an election to cut out the county educational Institution at Enterprise, in order to benefit the local schools at Joseph and Wal lowa. "It was represented," said Sutton, "that it is a local measure, but this U not true. It will affect' 10 or 12 counties and will allow 100 voters to keep -educational affairs In a turmoil." "I think," said Rusk, "that the en tire county has the right to decide whether or not it wants a county high school. If a majority want the high school at Enterprise to remain, well, .and good." There is considerable discussion as to reconsideration of the bill. Sut ton said, however, that Its oppon ents may concentrate their strength on tryingt o kill It In the Senate. RUSK PUSHED BILL THRU. The Portland Journal, of February 16 says "Speaker Busk made a par ticularly' strong fight on the floor for passage of a bill (Anti-County High School bill) in which he was Inter ested and by his personal popularity won out." The copy of the -, bill sent here by State Superintendent Alderman had written on It, "Introduced by re quest of Speaker Rusk."

CHATTER XVIII WnEREIN Till! PliF.SlnE.NT pnEMnrs. EKOIIK the exciting story so ruddy-Interrupted is resunntl it may b well to set down In their sequence the queer work ings of fortune which led to Philip's ' timely reappearance tit Lus Flores I His troop (f scouts consisted of ' twenty-eljint 'men. Five were sailors 1 and firemen from the Andromeda; three '.were Germans from the Unser Fritz. But the wholp-elght were es soldiers, und oue man at arms trained on the European model is worth teu , of the Brazilian product. The retiimu ing twenty were Hill men. good riders, excellent shots nud acquainted with every yard of the wild country within a radius of a' hundred miles. They would nslit anybody' If well led, and liere It uiny be observed that when Philip called on them to8torin the ballroom he snld "Come oa!" between which cui't command and Its congener. "Go on!" these half breed warriors drew a line distinction. The language difficulty was' surmounted partly by an interpreter In the person of oue ot the Germans, who spoke English and hud lived in Bahia, partly by signs and largely by Philip's methods as a leader. ' He never asUed his men to do any thing that he did not do himself, and they were never dubious as to his tac tics, since be Invariably closed with any Nationalist detachment met dur ing the day's operations. About midday, then, they came upon the advance guard of a column sunt off a -week earlier by the expert at Pesqueira with Instructions to arrive at Las Flores before sunset that very dny. Instantly the twenty-nine charg ed. With equal celerity the advance guard bolted. From the' crest pf a( rocky pass PJillip looked down on a' column of fully a thousand men. The situation was critical.- It culled for prompt handling. Five men held the horses, twenty-three spread themselves among the rocks, Philip uuslung bis carbine, and twenty-four rifles Indulged In long range practice on a narrow mountain path crowded with men aud animals. Nothing more was needed. It -has been noted already that the Brazilians disliked long range shooting. There was a stampede. The scouts occupied the ridge until sundown and were re turning leisurely to. report the pres ence of the column' when they fell uf with the first batch of fugitives from the valley. Fortbwjtb Philip became a general and each scout an officer. They reasoned and whacked the run aways Into obedience, picked up quite a number of muu who were willing enough to fight if told what was ex pected of tbem, and the rest was a matter of simple strategy such as Macliulay's schoolboy would exhibit In the escalade of a snow fort But it was a near thing. Five minutes later and Ilozler might have seized the pres idency himself. " And now as to the night and the next day. - Russo aud bis diminished staff took Philip's little army as a nucleus. Bra zil bad duly elected Doui Corrla, as provided by the statute, aud the news spread like wild tire. Before morning the Liberal loutsts were 10,000 strong. Before night closed the rouds'agaln the Pesqueira genius wrote to Oom Corrla under a flag of mice and point ed out that he served the president, not any crnnk whosald he was presi dent, but the honored Individual In whom the people ot Brazil placed their trust. Dom Corrla replied In felicitous terms, and. as the newspapers say, the Incident ended. Tby uavy sulked for awhile, because It held that Kusso's treatment of the Andorhlna was not cricket or baseball or whatsoever game appeals most to the Brazilian sports man. It was not even professional football. It said, but (in acrimonious discussion was closed by a strong bint from the treasury that pay day might be postponed Indefinitely if too much were made of a regrettable accident to the guns of tbe Macelo artillery. Meanwhile Dom Corrla. the man wbo did not forget, was puzzled by two clr:. cumstances not of nutlonul Importance. Ban Benavldes. never a demonstrative lover where Carmeln was concerned, was a chunked maus He was severely wounded during tbe fight, arid Carmeln nursed blin assiduously, but there could be no doubt that he was under her thumb and . would remain there. Tbe Indications were subtle, but un mistakable. - Carmeln even announced the date of tbelr marriage. Dom Corrln remembered, of course, what Sao Keuavides and bis dtru?bter bad said when they all m?t In tbe boll room, tt seemed to him that Salvador wa telling tbe truth and that Carinda was flbblajr on tbt of-cawl'?!!.' "", h let wen euongti atone, it was poTaTor Salvador that be should obey Cnnuela. He blessed them and remarked that a really "smart" wedding would he Just the thing to Inaugurate the new reign at Rio de Janeiro. He wtis fur more perplexed by the untimely wrath of Philip ilozler. He thought of It for at least five minutes next morning. Then he sought Dickey Buhner, wbo had just quitted Coke's bedroom and was examining the rare shrubs that bordered the lawn. "What news of that brave man?" asked Dom Corrla, and his deep voice vibratr-d with real feeling. "First rate, sir." said Dickey. "The bullet Is extracted, an' the doctor says 'e'll soon be all-right Leastways, that's wot Iris tells me. 1 can't talk Portuguese meself, au' pore old, Jim mie's langwidge ain't fit to be repeat ed." Tbe president laughed. "He Is what you call n bundle of contradictions, eb-n rough fellow with the heart ot a bull? But he saved my life, aud that naturally counts for a good deal wlib me.1 And bow Is your niece after last night's terrible experi ence?" "My niece? D'ye mean Iris?" de manded Buluier, obviously somewhat annoyed. - "Yes." "She's not lny niece. She's" "Your granddaughter, then?" "No, sir. That young lady 'as done me the honor of promlsiu' to be my wife." "Obi" said Dom Corrla, fixing lim brilliant eyes on Buimer's vexed face. "There's uo 'oh' about it," growled Dickey. "It was all cut an' dried weeks ago, an' she 'asu't rued of 'er buigulu yet. as far as 1 can make out." "You mean that the marriage was arranged before the Andromeda sail ed?" said Dom Corrla gently. "W'y, of course. It couldn't very well be fixed after, could It?" "No not as between you and hor. I can vouch for that. Forgive me, Mr. Buhner. 1 have a daughter of mar riageable age, you know, and 1 speak as a pareut. Do you tlluk that it is n wise thing for a man of your years to marry a girl of twenty?" "If I didn't 1 wouldn't do It." "But may It not be selfish?" Then downright Lancashire took bold of tbe argument "Look 'ere! Wot arejyou drlvln' at?" demanded Dickey, now In a white heat of anger. He had yet to. learn that the president preferred a straight forward way of talking. "I want you to forego this mar riage," be said. "Why?" "Because that charming girl loves another man, but feels that she Is bound to you. 1 understand the posi tion at last. Mr. Buhner, you cannot wlsb to break ber heart aud drive that fine young fellow. Philip- Ilozler, to despair. Come, now! Let you aud me reason this thing together. Possi bly when she agreed to marry you' she did not know what love was. She Is high minded, nn Idealist, tbe soul of honor. What other woman would have consented to be separated from her friends on Fernando Noronha merely because It Increased their meager chances of safety? How few women, loving a man like Philip Ilozler, wbo Is assured of a splendid reward for his services to this state, would resolutely deny tbe claims of her owu heart in order to keep her word?" Bulmer had never heard any one 8 peak with the crystal directness of Dom Corrla. Each word chipped away some part of the fence which be had deliberately erected around Jils own Intelligence. Certain facts hud found crevices In tbe barrlpr already. Dorn Corrla broke down whole sec tions. But he was a bard man and stubborn, and bis beurt was set on Iris. "You are "mighty sure she Is wrap ped up Id this young spark?" bo growled. "Were I not I would not have Inter fered. Take my advice. First nsk yourself an honest question, theu-nsk the girl. Khe will answer. I promise you that." "I'm a ricb man," persisted Dickey. "Yes." "Nobody forced ''ef .one way or the other." "Possibly. One wonders, though, why she hid herself on tbe Audroiu eda." "It'a true. I tell you. David said" "Who Is David?" . , "Her uncle." "In England. I take It. If a man wishes to marry n girl he does Dot woo ber nuiie. Of course these customs vary.

Much to Canada's amazement, the English girl clasped her round the neck and kissed her. "Tell your father, my dear, that be has been very good to me," she whis pered. Then her face grew scarlet again, and she hurried away. "Excellent:" said the president "That old mnn is a gentleman. His friend Is not. Yet they are very much alike In other respects. Odd thing!
