THE HERALD, MONMOUTH. OREGON EXPERIENCE OF WESTERN GIRL Found Cannery Work Too Tiring The fertile valleys of Oregon tielp to supply the tables of America. This Is I possible through the niaglo of the hum ble tin can. In one of the can ning establish ments, Julia Schmidt was em ployed. It was com plicated work be cause she did seal ing and other parts of the work. It was strenuous work and she was not a strong girl. Often she forced herself to work when she was hardly able to sit at her machine. At times she would have to stay at home for she was so weak she could hardly walk. For five years she was In this weakened condition. She tried various medicines. At last, friend of hers spoke of'Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and she gave It a trial. "Everyone says I am a healthier and stronger girl," she writes. "I am rec ommending the Vegetable Compound to all my friends who tell me how they suffer and I am willing to answer let ters from women asking about It" Julia Schmidts address is 652 North Front St, Salem, Oregon. Girls who work in factories know just how Miss Schmidt felt Perhaps they, too, will find better health by, taking tho Vegetable Compound, Few people are as smart as other people think they are.

Juggins proves to be the grandson of a former steward of Ormerod's father, to whom Juggins feels himself Indebted. Ormerod tells' Juprglns he has abandoned the Stuart cause. Juggins Informs him of a Jaco bite plot In the American colo nies to weaken England by for warding French Interests. At its head is Andrew Murray, a Scots man, and a Frenchman, De Veulle, deadly enemy of Or merod. The two are In London furthering their schemes. An ticipating the plotters' return to America, Juggins arranges for Ormerod to go there with letters to Governor Burnet, friend of Juggins, and work to foil Mur ray. Disguised as Juggins' serv ant, Ormerod takes passage to America. On the ship he meets a girl, Murray's daughter, ardent Jacobite, who believes him to be loyal to the Stuarts. De Veulle recognises Ormerod and exposes him. Taken by surprise, Or merod is thrown overboard by the negro. Tom, but regains the deck In safety. He accuses Mur ray of inciting Tom to murder him. but of course can prove nothing. A truce Is declared un til the vessel reaches New York. CHAPTER IV Continued 9 "That is true," I assented. "There Is somewhat I would venture to observe upon, if you will permit me," he continued detachedly. "You are a youth of boldness and courage. You possess intelligence. You may go far in the provinces, always supposing you do not succeed in winning a par don. I opine that a pardon might be won if you went about it In the right way. There are gentlemen at White hall, who" His hesitation was eloquent. "And you would suggest?" I asked him, faintly amused as I perceived the drift of his Intention. "Think well before you commit your self to this venture. You cannot hope to overcome me. Why, the governor of this province, with all the semi regal powers at his command, has failed to balk me In my plans. My Influence Is no less in London. If you continue as you have begun you will end, I fear, in an early grave. I say It not as a threat 'Tis merely a pre diction." "I fear me I should lose your good opinion did I take your advice," I re plied. He looked me straight In the eyes. "You would," he said curtly, and he turned on his heel and left me. Three hours Inter we lay at anchor In the East river under the lee of Nutten island, which some called the Governor's because It was a part of his official estate. Small boats landed us at a wharf on a canal which ran up Into the town along the middle of Broad street. From here I had my baggage carried by a waterman to the George tavern In Queen street, which he recommended as being fa vored by the gentry. Murray's party I overheard giving directions for the conduct of their ef fects to Cawston's tavern in Hanover square. After a meal I Inquired of Master Kurt van Dam, the proprietor of the George, where I might find Governor Burnet. Van Dam was a broad-bodied, square-headed Dutchman. He sat In the ordinary, smoking a long clay pipe. "Der gofernor Is at Cabtain van Home's," he said, and Immediately replaced his pipe in his mouth. "And where is Captain van Home's house?" I asked. "In the Broad-Vay not far oOp from der fort. Ydu valk across through Hanofer square." 1 I thanked him and walked forth. In Hanover square, which was only a few steps distant, there was a crowd collected about the entrance to Caws ton's tavern. Murray was standing in the doorway, Tom on one side of him, and a huge, red-haired giant in buckskin,' with knife and tomahawk at his belt on the other. I stared at the red-haired man', for he was the first woodsman I had seen, observing with curiosity his shaggy locks and fur cap and the brutal ferocity of his face. I stared so long that I attracted the attention of Murray, who broke off his conversation with the group surround ing him, and with a pale smile pointed me out to his buckskin retainer. The man scowled at me, and one hand went to his knlfe-hilt. I spoke to the citizen nearest me. "Pray, sir, who is the tall fellow In buckskin on the steps?" The man edged away from me sus piciously. . "I am a stranger in your town," I added. "'Tis a frontiersman." he replied re? ftictantly ; "one catlad 'Bed Jack' Boll-Uur" "An ugly knave," I commented. But the citizen only eyed mo askance, and I walked on. I was pass ing through Bridge street, with the leafing tree-boughs overhead and the walls of Fort George before me, when another and smaller crowd rounded the corner from the Broad-Way, n street which formed the principal thor oughfare of the town and took Its name from the wide space between the house-walls. In the lend came an Indian. lie was the first of his race I chanced to see, and sure, 'tis strange that we .were destined to be friends aye, more than friends, brethren of the same clan. He was a large man, six feet In his moc casins, and of about the same age as myself. He stalked along, arms swing ing easily at his side, wholly Imper vious to the rabble of small boys who tagged behind,' yelling and shrieking at him. He was naked from the waist up, and on his massive chest was painted in yellow and red pigments the head of a wolf. He wore no other paint, and he was weaponless, except for the tomahawk and knife which hung at his belt The children danced around him so many little animals. They never touched him, but some of the more venturesome hurled pebbles from the walk at his brawny shoulders. I can not repeat the catch-calls and rhymes which they employed, some of them too disgusting for print. I looked to see some citizen Inter vene, but several who sat on their doorsteps or lounged In front of shops, smoking the Inevitable pipe, viewed the spectacle with indifference or open amusement. My wrath boiled over, and I charged down upon the tormentors. "Be off," I shouted. "Have you no proper play to occupy your time?" They fled hilariously, pleased rather than outraged by the attack, after the perverse habit of children who prefer always to be noticed Instead of Ig nored, and I was proceeding on my way when I was dumfounded by hearing the Indian address me. "Hold, brother," he said in perfect English, but with a certain thick gut tural accent. "Ta-wan-ne-ars would thank you." " You speak English!" I exclaimed. A light of amusement gleamed In his eyes, although his face remained ex pressionless as a mask. "You do not think of the Indian as these ignorant little ones do?" he asked curiously. "I I know nothing of your people," I stammered. "I am but tills day land ed here." "My brother Is an Englishman?" he questioned, not Idly but with the cour teous interest of a gentleman. "I am." "Ta-wan-ne-ars thanks you, Eng lishman." He extended his hand. Excess of Gratitude Gratitude, In many people, Is only a strong and secret desire for further favors. I believe It was Goethe who wrote: "He who Is not grateful for a favor may be likened to one w.ho mud dies the spring from which his thirst was quenched." When gratitude, I heard another say, has become a matter of reason ing, there are many way3 of escaping its bonds. This is only another man ner of saying that he who expects gratitude is a merchant, not a bene factor. Gratitude, which the ancients always painted In the brightest colors, Is one's duty, but It Is not an inalien able right one is at liberty to exact. Honore de Balzac, in probably one of his less lucid moments, wrote that "Your kindness Was the greater be cause you obeyed It by Instinct," I regarded him with Increasing umitKetneiit Who was this savage who talked like a London courtier?" "I helped you," I said, "because you were a stranger In a strange city, and by the laws of hospitality your com fort should be assured." "That Is the law of the Indian, Eng. llshman;" he answered pleasantly; "but It Is not the taw of the white man." "It Is the law our religion teaches," I remonstrated. "I go now to Gov ernor Burnet. I shall ask him to make a law that Indians shall be as safe from mockery as from violence la New York." "Governor Burnet Is a good man. My brother will speak to friendly ears." "You call me brother," I said. "1 have no friends In this land. May 1 cull you brother?" That wonderful expression of burn ing Intelligence lighted his fuc again. "My brother has befriended Ta-wan-ne-ars. Ta-wan ne-ars Is his friend and brother. Ta-wun-ne-ars will not forget." He raised his right hand arm high In the gesture of greeting or farewell, u nil we separated. CHAPTER V The Governor in Council Where Harden street crosses the Broad-Way I met the town bellrlnger brandishing his hell. I approached him with u request for the locution of Captain van Home's house. "Do you but follow your nose straight before you," he directed me, "until you come to the red-brick man sion with the yellow-brick walk this side of the Green lime. That Is his." The negro servant who answered my knock admitted timt the governor was within. "But Massa Burnet done hah de pen'lemen ob de council wld hint Jus' now, sah," he added doubtfully. "I am This minute landed with let ters for the governor from London," I said. "Oh, bery well, sah. Pat be a dlf runt matter. Massa Burnet be plumb glad to see yo'. Dis way, please." He ushered me Into the wide hall way and knocked on the door of the first room on the right. "Enter," roared a Jovial bass voice. The negro threw open a leaf of the door and stood aside. "DIs gen'lenuin done 'Jus' Inn' Tom London wlf letters fo' yo' excellency, he announced. I saw before me a group of eight men gathered around a dinner-table, which was spread with maps and pa pers In place of eatables. At the head sat the man of the buss voice, ruddy faced, comfortable In girth, with the high forehead of the thinker and the square jaw of the man of action. "I am Governor tBurnet, sir," he said. "Who are you?" . "These letters will explain, your ex cellency," I replied. I tendered them to him. "Hah, from Master Juggins I" he ex claimed with heightened Interest. "You sailed on the New Venture?" "Yes, your excellency with Master Murray." "That Is well. Be seated, sir; be seated," ordered the governor as he silt the packet. I found a chair by the fireplace, and watched In silence whilst he read through the close-writ pages, with an occasional word or Interjection to the others, who had risen from their places and were clustered about him. They were, as I afterward learned, the most prominent men of the governor's fnctlon In the province, who strove to clinch the control of the fur trade In English hands. "Sol' Humph!" The governor laid down the cover ing letter which accompanied the de tailed report of the operations of Mur ray In London. "You are Master " He examined the letter again. "Humph! Yes." He turned from me to his councilors. "It Is nppnrent from what Master Jugglns.hns writ that Murray has tri umphed,' gentlemen, even If not so ab solutely as he would have our citizens believe. However, we know the worst, and we may prepare for It. If I may have your Indulgence. I would crave an adjournment of our meeting to en able me to discuss some aspects of the situation more Intimately with Master Juggins' messenger." Ormerod Is to get an Inkling of the power an unscrupulous man can wield by the employ ment of superstition to Influ ence an Ignorant people and at tain leadership. fTO BB CONTINUED. ) Not a Common Fault gratitude was a foolish word; that, though appearing In the dictionary, It could never be found In the hearts.
