The ten minutes seemed Interminable that ela;x-»d ere the grinding couplings advertised the imminence of tbelr start. The guard» began to bawl, tbe doors to slam, belated travelers to dash mad­ ly for the coaches. The train gave a preliminary lurch ere settling down to its league long Inland dash. Kirkwood, in a fever of hope and an ague of fear, saw a man sprint fu­ riously across tb' platform and throw himself on tbe forward steps of their coach on tbe very instant of tbe start Presently he entered by the forward door and walked slowly through, nar­ rowly inspecting tbe various passen­ gers. As be approached the seats oc­ cupied by Kirkwood and Dorothy Cal­ endar his eyes encountered the young man'a, and he leered evilly, Kirkwood met tbe look with one that waa like a kick, and the fellow passed with acme haste into the car behind. “JVbo wm that?" demanded the girl without moving berTead.

BANDON CLAIMS THE OLDEST LIVING PERSON Bandon, Or., July 21.—Bandon boasts of one of the oldest. If not the very oldest, person In the state of Oregon, in the person of Mrs. Em­ ma Wade, who recently celebrated her 106tb birthday. Mrs. Wade has excellent health, considering her ex­ treme age, and is in pos-eesion of alt her mental faculties, although her eyesight and hearing are somewhat impaired. She has spent many years in Oregon, and is one of the pioneers of this section of the state. She has a host of descendants and is great­ grandmother of several children. Mrs. Wade has been waking her home with her son on a ranch near Parkersburg, between Bandon and Coquille, but her son recently moved to Bandon and was accompanied by the mother. Mrs. Wade has every promise of living a number of years yet, but is certainly famous for her age at present. The Eugene Fruit Growers' asso­ ciation wants wild evergreen black­ berries for canning when they get ripe. These berries spread over large tracts in some places in the county, and are considered a nuisance, but the cannery people will handle them this year and qutte a profit may be made on them by those who care to pick them.
