Flagg, formerly '. of St. Hel ens, Ore, who was clerk of the state senate at the last session has bought the Elgin Recorder, taking charge Monday. He will change it from an Independent to a Republl can paper. L. B. Tuttle, the retir ing publisher, is one of the best coun try newspaper men In hU part of the state and got out a paper second to none. A delegation of Masons from the local lodge attended the funeral of G. W. Crajt at Lostlne, Friday. ly had been told to tbe horrified broth er before be was engaged iu telephon ing to General Braze and liarou Duu- gloss. A hurried consultutiou fol lowed. . Baron Dangloss was- sadly upset. Three prominent persons bad been stolen from beneath bis nose, so to speak. He was beside himself witb rage and dismay. This Inst outrage was the climax. Tbe old man adored the' sister of Jack Tullis. He was heartbroken and crushed by the news of the catastrophe. Captain Haas' of the dragoons was put lu charge of the relief party.' The party was armed and equipped for a bitter, chase. Word bad been sent to Serros. the capital of Dawsbergen. asking tbe assistance of T'rlnee Dan- tan in tbe effort to overtake the ab ductors. A detachment, it was an nounced in reply, was to' start from Serros during tbe afternoon bound for the eastern passes. Baron Dangloss rode to tbe southern gate with the white faced, suffering Tullis. "We will undoubtedly- receive a communication from tbe rascals this afternoon or tomorrow," - he said gloomily. "They wU not be slow to make a formal demand for ransom, knowing that you and yonr sister are possessed of unlimited wealth. Hello! Who's this?" : A man who had ridden up to the gates, bis horse covered with foam. was demanding admission. The ward ers baited him,- unceremoniously ar, Dangloss rode forward. They found that he was one of tbe foremen In the employ of tbe railway construction company, lie brought tbe disquieting prepared "Colonel, we'll yet see the day when Graustark regrets the economy that has cut our little army to almost noth ing. What have we now all told? Three hundred men in the royal guard, fewer than 600 In the fortress. I have a hundred policemen. There you ore. Today there are nearly 200 soldiers I off in the mountains on nasty business I of one sort or another. Gad, If these ruffians from the railroad possessed no more than pistols they could give us a merry' fight There must be a thou sand of them. I don't like it. We'll have trouble before the day's over." By 11 o'clock the streets In the neighborhood of the plaza were pack ed with people. At 12 the castle gates were to be thrown open for the brilliant cavalcnde that was to pass between these cheering rows of people. Shortly after half past 11 o'clock cer tain groups of men usurped the posi tions In front) of certain buildings on the south side of the square, a score here, a half score there, others below then?. They favored the shops op. crated by the friends of the commit tee of ten; they were the men who were to take possession of the rifles that lay hidden behind couuters and walls. From the distant castle came the sounds of shouts, crawling up the long line of spectators for the full length Circuit Court Orders. An Interlocutory decree has beeni en tered in the divorce suit of Doro thy M. McCulloeh vs John A. McCul loch, granting the plaintiff $10 court fees, $50 attorney's fees and $25 a month for support during pendency of the suit.

Miss Flossie Williams, teacher of Llaredf.that tbe men were ugly and scnooi in xnen, was cauea to iu- determined to tear ud the track al ready laid unless their demands were considered and, furthermore, that there had been severe fighting between tbe two factions engaged on the work. He urgently Implored Daugloss to Bend troops out to bold tbe rioters in rheck. ' . "What Is your name?" demanded the harassed minister of police.1 "poison," replied the foreman. He lied, for he was no other than John Cromer, the unsavory husband of Anus Cromer of the committee of teu. "Come with me," said Dungloii. AMONG THE CHURCHES ; 8ERVICES ANNOUNCED. Baptist: Rev. H. B. Foskett will occupy his pulpit as usual, morning and evening. His subject in the morning will be "The Trustees of the "We will go to Genernl Braze. Good by and good luck, Tullis." At that very moment- Loralne Tullis was comparing notes witb Truxton King in the room beneath tbe armor er's shop. Count Marlanx was hiding In the trader's inn outside the northern gates. The abductors themselves wer. scattered about tbe city, laughing tri umphantly over the success of the ruse that had drawn the well feared Amer ican away on a wild goose chase to the Kingdom."

Isaacson return ed Saturday afternoon from Turlock, California, where they have spent the ( winter. Mr. and Mrs. Isaacson are , better pleased with Turlock and South-1 era California In general than most of the people who have gone there and the reason Is that they have sold all their property there and are back In Wallowa to stay. Sun. which fie, too, had haJTfaiF and" gentle compnny short journeys, yes, but not to be forgotten. ., , lie lighted the stub of a tallow can dle. Ah, how envied this great, sleep ing Wayfarer! How beautiful bis mis tress! How fortunate the lover! They slept How tired they were! Whence hud they come? Why should, he stay here to spoil thoir waking hour? No. He would surrender his apartment to them. Softly ho tiptoed to bis own corner of the cnr. lie gathered up bis be longings an ancient . violin case, a stout walking stick, 'a goodly sized pack done up In gaudy cloth, a well woru pair of snndals with loug, frayed lacings. As gently be stole back to the door. He tossed a kiss to the sleeping girl, his dark gypsy face aglow with admiration and mischief, and was about to blow out the light of his candle. 'Then be changed bis mind. With a determined shake of his head and a new flash of the eye, he calmly seated himself and began to open bis ragged pack. At Inst his small store of food lay exposed. Without hesitation he divid ed tbe pieces of smoked venison, giv ing one part to himself, two to' the sleepers, then the miller's bread and the cheese and tbe bag of dates be had bought the day before. Again be blew a kiss to the prettiest girl he bad ever seen. Snuffing his candle, he dropped to the ground and closed tbe door against all spying, un civil eyes. Daybreak found him at the wharf gates. Coming to an empty flat car direct from the quurrles, he resolutely seated himself upon Its edge -and, with amia ble resignation, set about devouring his early uieul, all the while casting longing, almost appealing, glances to ward tbe next car but one. Busy lit tle switch euglues began chugging about the yards. Tbe railroad at least was exhibiting some signs of life. Down through the maze of side tracks whisked tbe little train, out upon the nialu line with a thin shriek of greeting, past tbe freight bouses. It was theu that Sir Vagabond sat up THBI SLEPT. BOW TIBED THEY WEBBl of the avenue to the eager throng In Regengetz circus, swelling and grow. ing louder as tbe news came that the prince bad ridden forth from the gates. Glad voices cried out tidings to those in tbe background. The prince was coming! Bonny, adorable Trlnce Robin! On came tbe splendid phalanx of guardsmen, followed by rigid Infantry men In measured tread. The great coach of gold, with Its half score of horses, rolled somberly beneath uu ture's canopy of green, surrounded on all sides by proud members of tbe royal guard. Two carriages from the royal stablfs preceded tbe prince's coach. In the first were the Duke of Perse and three fellow members of the cabinet The second contained Baron Dangloss and General Braze. The curtains In a bouse at tbe cor ner of tbe square parted gently. A bawk faced old man peered out upon we joyous crowu. xiis umci j , straight, a look of mild Interest swept the scene. A grim smile crept ,n Wf interest gave way to per- inio nis ince. no uruipeu me cur tains and walked away from tbe win dow, tossing a cigarette Into a grate on tbe opposite side of tbe room. Then he looked at his watch. ... The man who stood In the middle of tbe freight car looking dowu Iu wonder at the fugitives was a tail vagabond of tbe most picturesque type. No ragamuffin-was ever so tattered and torn as this rakish Individual. Ills clothes barely bung together on his lunk frame. I-onjr, thin lips curled NMo n smile of delicious regard. His sides shook with tbe quiet chuckle of understanding He was thinking of other days and eyes, plexlty, perplexity to concern. What's this-leavlug the city? He wasted no time. Clutching his belongings to his side, he vaulted from one band, nimbly landing safely on his feet at the road side. He thought of the luckless pair In the empty "box." Suddenly he stopped, bis chin up, bis bunds to his sides. A hearty peal of laughter soared from bis Hps. Tbe Joke was on them. It was rich. The more he thought of their astonishment ou awakening tho more be laughed. His Immense levity attracted atten tion. Four or five men approached hi in from tbe shadows of the freight bouses, ugly, unsmiling fellows. Tbey demunded of lilui the cause of his un- nlchts and -of many maids lu faroff Xruxloa King. He waa.noJpng,c.rJn I lands and of countless Journeys., In pmis uUHIl. .With lcarj la Ula IBCT' ry black eyes he related the plight of the pretty slumberers. They plied him with queBtionB, He described the cou ple, even glowingly. Then the sinis ter fellows smiled. ' More tunu that, they clapped each other on the back and swore splendidly. And so It was that the news spread over town at 5 o'clock that Truxton King was where he could do no barm. It, was "well known that the tralu would make forty miles an hour down the steep grade Into the lower valley. When Truxton King first awoke to the fact that they , were no longer lying motionless In the dreary yards he leaped to his feet with a startled shout of alarm. With frantic energy be pulled open the door. For a min ute be stared at the scudding walls of stone so close at hand, uucomprebend lngly. Then the truth burnt upon blm with the force of a mighty blow. He staggered back, bis jaw dropping, bis eyes glaring. "Great God, Loralne! We're going! We're moving!" he cried hoarsely. She shot to her feet and lurched to bis side. "Don't fall out!" she almost shrieked. Suddenly the train shot out Into tbe open, farm spattered valley. Truxton fell back dumfouuded. "The country I" he exclaimed. "We've been carried away. God In heaven! The prince he Is lost!" He was be side himself, raging like a madman. He bad shouted to her that be must, get back to tbe city. "You would be killed!" she cried, clutching bis arm fiercely. "You never can Jump, Truxton. See how we are running. If ypu Jump I shall follow. I won't go on alone. I am as much to blame as you." A small station flew by. "Ronn, sev en kilometers to Edelweiss." He look ed at her In despair. "We're going foster and faster," be grated. Just then his gaze allghid on the Datbetlc breakfast ne stared as If hypnotized. Was he going mad? Ad Instant later be was on bis hands and knees examining tbe mysterious feast She joined him at once. No two faces ever befor were so puzzled and per plexed. "By heaven," ho exclaimed, ''I see Ic fell! We've been deliberately Bhang baled! We've been bottled up here and shipped out of town. Don't touch that stuff! It's probably full of poi son. Great Scott, what a clever gang they are!" Whereupon he proceeded to kick tbe unoffending breakfast out of the car door. To their dying day they were to believe that tbe food bad been put there by agents of the great conspira tor. "Hello!" said he. "We're slowing np." no looked out and ahead. "There's a bridge down the road a bit-yes. there's our same old river! .They're running slow for the bridge. We can swing off, Loralne. Now's our chance!"
