POI(TI,Al .MAHKFr ItF.I'OUT. Portland. Ore., .May 27. There was n revival In lino contracting dur ing I ho past 24 hours. Buyers are out In the country trying to purchase a few Hood Krndes of 1907b and In Hie meantime are freely offering He for oik? year contracts, 0c for two yiar and 10c for three year con tracts. This Is an average of lie, a pound. A few growers, who are anxious to remain In the business are said to be accepting, but generally speaking,, thn -prices offered are ro low :is to admit of not a single cent profit, during the term of the con tract. Therefore the growers feel (hat they would be working three years for the hop dealers without 'a salary. Diunnge Done to Fruits, llnportlni? on fruit conditions In all parts of the State, Secretary Wil liamson, of .the Slnto Hoard of Hor ticulture, fays that while the yield of some fruits promise to bo large, oth ers are sure to be under the average as a result of Inn late frosts and the backward spring. The apple crop promises to be a large one and the output of peaches Is likely to bo well up unci t tlvo average. In prune there will ho n material falling off from the ncrmal, and the outlook for pours Ih about the same, it Is believed that the cherry crop will he from onc'hnir to two-thirds the ai.e of that or 11107. .

BRYAN. Copyright, 1908. by Associated Lit- J erary Press. Tim Itoitcoe ant on the cbal box at the rear of the station and gazed dis contentedly upon the shabby little town. I'or the first time lie was un impressed by the fact that Cbeldon Center possessed two bunks und a oricK potuomce luia sioou ipitiv upari from other buildings und pulu u good salary. Ever since be could remember It bad been a treat to drive over to the Cen ter, and be hud been rather proud of the town. Now be was seeing it through Mutle Westcott's eyes, and the huddle of wooden buildings distressed him. Itccently be bud seen 11 maga zine picture of lower Broadway, wllh Its mountains of masonry and Its riv ers of humanity (lowing through the narrow cnuyous called streets, lie wondered what Ma tie would think when presently the train from the Junction should roll In and she should stand on tbe station platform, compar ing the place to the New York she had Just left. lie bsd never seen Sew York, but he knew much about tbe wonder city, and he knew ulso that Matte would never again be content with Cbeldon Center, lunch less with Gardenvale. She would despise the town and lis people alike. Matic's cousin Bess had married well. 11 or husband, Itlchard llelilln. had been the secretary to n railroad magnate who made his summer home 011 the hills back of Cnrdenvale. Bel- lin bad met and married Bess Betty luring one of those summer visits. fter making money In stocks he and Hess bad urged Mntie to visit them. Tim bad said goodby with tintisual meaning as he had dielped her aboard the train nt the Center. There bad been more than n hint In Bess' letter that she had a match In mind for Ma tte. All that had happened two months ago. Today Mntlo was coining home.' iV faroff whistle announced the ap proach of tho train, and Tim sauntered around to the front of tbe station. The platform was crowded with outgoing passengers and Hie usual reception committee of small country town loungers. Tim lost himself in the crowd until the (rain pulled In. 'and a lithe, girlish llgure sprang down, the ruMman steps before tbe porter could offer bis baud. Tim bad been watching the day conches, but he sensed Matle's pres ence and hurried to relieve her of her suit case. It was the llrst sign of the change, this substitution of-the smart lenihor case for the near-leather valise which had beLUi considered good I M (lol(l To HCN't Till: TO'ST OP IT . 'i'KLLI.Mt VoU I lalVt: VOU. enough for (raveling when she bad left home. . "Your pa couldn't get over." he ex plained 11s be raised his cap without offering his hand. He had beard that people In the city did not shake hands, iMlt simply (lowed. "Father sick?" asked Millie quickly. Tim shook bis head. "It's only the rheumatism," be ex plained, "bul he (bought it would bo bad to i;et out In the cold, and so he asked me to come. I'll get your trunk. " Matle handed him the check In si lence, and presently the smart new trunk bud Joined the suit ease In tho box of the bobsled, and TI111 offered her bis hand to help her Into the sent. "It ain't an automobile." be said apologetically, "but 1 thought you'd K In a hurry to get your trunk over to ibow nil your pretty things, so I didn't bring the cutter." "That was nice of you." said Matle lppivclatlvcly. "1 do want to display ill the wonders 1 brought back froie town. Tim. do you suppose we could stop nt the grocery and get some gin ger snaps? There was. no dining car 011 tbe train, and I'm hungry." "Your 11m sent over a liox of lunch," he responded, diving under the seat and producing a shoe box tilled wllh homemade enke and biscuit sand- I niches. Matle gave n cry of delight. ' "That's Just like mother," she de clared ns she extracted a huge wedge ef cake. "She knew I'd bo hungry for home thing." "I should think you could get better rooking I the city." observed Tim pes simistically. "They tell me that some of their ioks get j: 1.000 n year." "Lots of them." assented Matle, "the chefs In the restaurants. Some get more than that, but they can't make blscull taste like home. They dou't know what home Is In the city. Tim." "I should think n man could make pretty gixxl biscuits for 11 thousand det ain a year." said Tim praetlca ' But he doesn't make them nt all." loclared M.itle laughingly. "Tlnyjiioro none)' n cook Bets Qc less bo Woks. f ! lit no Just orders the others around. At tho hotel where Bess lives the chef Joes uot cook at all. lie would feel lu0 suited If you were to ask him I". "Bess live In a hold?" usked Tim 1" surprise. '" should think thai would cost 11 lot of money. BUI I'ratl flopped at a hotel, and Ihcy charged him a dollnr and 11 bulf a day. and luey never fed him for that." "Bess and Dick hove six rooms In an apartment hotel." explained .Matle. "They pay $.i.C0O n year Just for six rooms." Tim whistled: "You could build a bouse for that:" he cried. "Not iu trye city." she reminded. "Land costs too much. They have to build houses high to get the value of the land, although, of course, there are a lot or private houses. Most persons prefer the apartments." "I suppose that even the Centet seems 11 pretty small place inev." sug gested Tim, upon whom a gloom had settled. "Not a lilt of II." declared Matle brightly. "It's noire like home than New York was, and I'm just crazy te ste Curdenvnlc." Tim touched up the team. "We'll be there pretty soon," he said ns be pointed to the hill ahead. Once lip there the)' should come In sight of the town nestling In the valley 011 the other side of the divide. It was a tedious climb, but presently It wns accomplished, and a short drive brought them, to the brow of the hill 11 the other side. Matie gave a little cry of delight ns the road broke through the trees. A tiny river wound its way past the town, a huddle of frame buildings along the straggling main street, with a half dozen back streets sparsely set tled. The snow covered roofs gleamed while In tbe winter suu. and the spirals of Klnoke from the chimneys iuleusilied tbe whiteness of the snow. Matie laid her baud upon Tim's, holding the reins. "I want to get a good look a mo ment." she explained. "All the time I was away I could shut my eyes and see the town, but it wasn't real like (Ills Is." "What's the use of shutting your eyes and seeing a make believe' (Jar denvale wheii'you could open them and see real thirty story buildings';" de manded Tim. practically. "Mehle the town is u sort of contrast, but 1 sup posed that you would come back and make fun of our town und the people. What'll you do wnen you go back 10 New York to live?" "But I'm not going hack," she de clared stoutly. "I know what you mean." she added ilciiantly. "Bess wauled 10 -marry ine to 11 young man down there. She wanted to dazzle nie wllh (he (own, and (hen she thought I'd be glad to marry to stay (here, but I didn't." "Why not?" asked Tim breathlessly. "1 was almost ashamed to come over after you In the bobs after your riding in automobiles and in (he subway and things like that, and I didn't suppose you'd care for that lunch alter all the I city truck you'd been ealing." Matie regarded him scornfully. "Bess did one thing." she said quiet ly. "She made me contended with my lot. They live in n real palace with a hundred servants, and they don't ever walk up and down, stairs. They have beautiful rooms and costly food, but It's not like a home. Why, Tim, most of the men iu New York don't even have time to love their wives. They're too busy making money." Tim cleared his throat and (lxed his gaze upon (he distant hills. "Matle,"' lie said timidly. "I I've got 11 lot of time and and" "And you've been wasting It making yourself miserable over the thought that I was going to come back cilllied and tired of old faces and friends." re- I minded Mntie. "I'm afraid you don't ! make very good use of your time, I Tim." ! "I'm going to spend the rest of It In j telling you that 1 love you." said Tim I boldy. and Matle's face gave nssurauce that the telling would be welcome. Tho Dridf's Weakness. "That Is the second time I have done that within 11 week." said the bride of six months ns she put down her pen. wllh a disgusted expression on her face, "and I Just don't like it I" "What have you done now?" queried her friend. "Done? I have made out a check, signed It, Inclosed It with a bill and mulled It, expecting to receive the re ceipt back, and Instead 1 have got the check, nnd across It is stamped, 'No account In this bank.' Of course I have 1111 account thorn hot- 1'vn i-,,.

An energetic vicar of an English country parish, who h.nl Inmr 1.. i.,.i i to raise the funds necessary to add 11 i set of chimes to Ids parish church, was jone day both surprised and gralitlod by inn elderly lady, who, though reputed to j bo very well off, had hitherto declined j to contribute, offering to complete his jsulwcrlpllon list provided the new chimes would be sounded at a spcvillc hour each evening.
