Since the existence of the fimd was
announced a large number of petitions
bave'come to the trustees which, up
on careful examination, proved to be
entirely worthy. The fund, however,
could care for only about half the ap
plicants, and hence, unless the fund
is renewed from some source shortly,
a number of the students who have
won high grades In their studies
while working their , way through,
will have to give up their, s'tudies for
the lest of the acedemic year.
The 'student requests v brought to
light some interesting facts as . to
the courageous endeavor of pome of
the Oregon youth to gain special train

Tl. softly upon tlie roof of leaves
that - covered the sidewalks
along Castle avenue. , t. . :
Almost In the center of the imposing
line of palatini residences stood the
home of the Duke of Perse, minister
of finance, flanked' ou either side by
structures as grim and as gay as it
self, yet far less siirniflcnnt In t'hoir
generation. Here dwelt f.be most iui-!
portant man In the principality, not
excepting the devoted prime minister
himself. Not that Perse was so' well
beloved, but that be held the destinies
of the land iu Midas-like fingers. More
than that, be was the father of the far
famed Countess Marians, the ; most
glorious beauty at the Austrian aud
nusHlan courts. She had gone forth
from Graustark as its most notable
bride since the wedding day of the
Princess Yetive. late In the nineties.
Ingomede, the beautiful, bad Journeyed
far to the hymeneal altnr. The hus
band who claimed bor was a bated,
dishonored man in hiB owfflnnd. There
were those who went so far as to say
that her father bad delivered her Into
the hands of a latter day Bluebeard,
who whisked her o'ff into the high
lands, many leagues from Vienna.
She was seen no more in the gay
courts for a year. Then of a sudden
she appeared before them all. as daz
zlingly beautiful as ever, but with a
haunting, wistful look in her dark eyes
that could not be mistaken. The old
count found an uneasy delight in ex
hibiting her to the world once more,
plainly as a bit of property that all
men were, expected to look upon with
envy in their hearts. .
Then the Duke of Perse resumed bis
residence In ' Edelweiss, opening the
old palace once more to the world. His
daughter after the death of the prin
cess began her extended visits to the
home of ber cirlhood. ' So Ions as the
princess was alive she remained away
irom Eaeiweiss reluctant to meet the
friend who had banished her husband
long before the wedding day in Buda
pest Now she came f reouentlv anil
stayed for weeks at a time, apparently
nappy aunng these escapes from life
in the great capitals.
Of late she came more frequently to
Edelweiss thnn before. John Tullls
was always to remember the moment
when he looked unon this exnulttite
creature for the first time. That was
months ago. After that he never ceased
being a secret silent worshiner at her
transient shrine. '
Ten o'clock on this rnlnv nltrht n
carriage has drawn up before the low
er gates to the Perse irrounda. niul n
tall, shadowy figure loaves it to burry
wrougn tne snruD lined walks to the
massive doors.
Tullls had long since ceased to be a
welcome visitor In the bume of the
Duke of Perse. The men were openly
unfriendly to each other. Th dnko
resented the cool Interference of the
sandy haired American: ou the other
band, 'Tullls made no effort to conceal
bis dislike, if not Ul!trust. of the older
man.
The countess was alone in the long,
warm tinted library.
' "it is cood of rou to come slu nnlri
as they shook bauds warmly. "Do you
know It Is ii I niOH t a rear since von Inat
came to this house?"
"It would be a centurv. countess. If
I were not welcomed In other bouses
where 1 am sure of a glimpse of you
rrom time to time aud a word now and
then."
They both seated themselves before
a glowing open Dre.
"The duke has cone to Cnnlnnk tn

once. "He will not return till late. I
uave juhi . u'lepnonca to ninue sure. ;

countess," he said very seriously. "I
have been so bold on occasion as to

-that you could not by nny freak of

to hear you confess that you do not

"You have never tried to make love

COLONIST TRAVEL
BREAKING
RECORDS
RUSH GREATER THAN EXPECT
ED MANY NOW DRIFTING
IN ON BRANCH.
The colonist rush this spring is
breaking all records, say the reports
from stations on the main lines of rail
roads. Trains are loaded to the plat
forms and running in three and four
sections. Homeseekers are arriving
in Portland at the rate- of over 2000
a day, and hundreds are stopping off
at stations east of that city.
Many are coming into Wallowa coun
ty. Friday's train brought la over a.
score, some getting off at each sta
tion in the valley. The majority of
the arrivals Friday were Skandina
vians from Minnesota and the Dako-
tas.
It is estlmatedby the railroad offic
ials that 60,000 "colonists will come
to Oregon during, the. continuance of
rates in March and April. Of that
number fully three-fifths will remain
and make- homes in, this state.
The rush Is so much greater than'
expected that the problem in Port
land Is how to take care of them,
and the commercial bodies have taken
the matter in hand and will organ
ize bureaux of information and den all
things possible to give the newcom
ers a hearty welcome, and whatever
assistance In matter of selecting a
location that la needed. As to the
latter however, little is needed for
