She ran up the steps of the ve randa and entered the drawing room through the cpeu Frtruh window. Glauclng aronnd the familiar room, at her father's closed desk, at the open piano, with the piece of music aha bad been practicing that morning, the wbolo walk seemed only a foolish dream that bad frightened ner. aat was Cisny Trlxlt, the daughter Of the richest man !n the town. Tbla was her fatlier'a house, the wonder of Canada City. A ring at the front door bell startled her. Without waiting for the servant to answer it she stepped out on the to randa nnd aw a boy whom she recog nized as a waiter ot the hotel kept by riuey'8 father. He was holding1 a note l:v his band and staring Intently at tbe house and garden. Seeing Cissy, h transferred Ills stare to ber. Snatching, the note from him, site tore It open and read in I'iney's well known scrawl, "Dad won't let rue come to you now, dear, but I'll try to allp out late to night." Why fchould she want to cornel he bad said nothing about coming now, and why should her father pre vent her? Cl?Fy crushed the note bo twen her fingers and faced the boy. "Wbnt are you staring at, Idiot?" Tbe boy grinned hysterically, a little frightened at Cissy's straightened brows and snapping eyes. "Get awav. There's no answer." Jie boy ran off, and Cissy returned to te d re wine room. Then It eocum-l to ber that tbe servant had not answer ed tbo bell. She rang again furiously. There was no response. She called down the basement staircase and heard only tbe echo of her voice In the depths, now still the house was! Were they all out Susan. Norah. the cook, the China urns nnd tho gardener? rAhe ran down Into the kitchen. Tbe back door was open, the fires were burning, diahea were upon tbe table, but the kitchen was empty. Upon the floor lay a damp copy of tbe "extra." Fho picked It up quickly. Four Mack headlines stared her in the face "Enormous Defnle tionP' "Montagu Trlxit Absconded!" "$.-00,000 Missing!" 'T.un on tbe Dank!" (She threw the paper through the open door as she would hsvo burled back the accusation from living lips; then in a revulsion of feeling lest any one should find ber there ebe ran up stairs and locked herself in her own room. So thnt was what It all meant all, from tbe laugh of the Saramp girls to the turning away of tbe towuspeople as she went fcv! Her father was a thiel who had stolen taoneyfrom the bank and run away, leaving ber alone to bear it. No! If was all a lie, a wicked, jealous lie, a foolish lie, for how could he stesl money from his own bank. Cissy knew very little of her father. Perhaps that was why she believed la him. Ehe knew still less cf business, but she knew what he bad done. She had often heard them say It, perhaps the very ones who now called him names. lie who had made Canada City what It was! riu Whom Wlndlbrook said only today bad, like Moses, touch ed the rocks of tbe rnnaria with hit magic wand of finance, uud streams of public credit nnd prosperity had gush ed from Itl Che would never speak to them again. Kbe would shut herself up here, dismiss all the servants bnt the Chinaman and wait until her fatber re turned. . There were a knock and the entreat ing voice of Norah, the cook, outside the door. Cissy nnlocked it and flung It open Indignantly. "Ahl It's yersclf, miss, and I never knew ye'd kem back till I met that gos soon of a hotel waiter In the street," said tbe panting servant "Sure It was only an hour ago while I was at ora woorck In the kitchen, and Jim rushes In and set: 'For tbe love of God, If trer ye want to see a blessed clot cf the money ye put In tbe masther'e bank oft wld ye now and draw It out, for there's a run on the bank! " "It waa an Infamous lie!" said Cissy fiercely. "Sure, miss, how was I to know? And If tie masther has gone away It's ownly takia r.ie money from tbe other dlvlls down tbare that's drawln It out and dlvldin It betwixt end between them." Cissy bad a very vague Idea of what a "ren ca the bank" meant, bnt No rsk's logic seemed to satisfy her femi nine reason. Fbe softened a little.

BRET HARTE . Cop7rtM. 1WL by Bnt CasBjs. 3 Erf CAMLTHCATV. " Tbe Chicago Herald of October 7, printed the following from Walter Wellruan, its Wa-ihinioa corres pondent! The United State and Gi eat Brit ain have reached an agreement cor oerning the latboiain canal question, and the new treaty will be present ed to tbe Senate for its raditicatioo early In the cominjf session. I am now able to give the substance of this treaty. It provides : 1. Fot abrogation of the old CJayton-Bulwer treaty in toto. 2. For a neutral Uthrnian canal, in case one be constructed by the United Staled, open in time oi peace to the ships of ail nations upon equal terms. S. This neutrality Is guaranteed by tbe United States alone, and other maritime powers are not invit ed to participate in such guarantee. Great Britain is infcreutially ona of the guarantors, bemuse she is a party to this treaty. 4. In case of war the United States reserves the right to take such steps for its own protection aa it may deem proper. It will be seen that the new treaty meets the principal objections whicb were offered to the old Hay-Paunce-fote convention which led to its re jection by the Senate. While tho principi" of neutrality la asserted, tho United States alone guarantees that neutrality, and no European powers are iuvited to give tbelr assent to it. It waa this feature more than any other which led to the defeat of the former treaty. Many senators were willing to join with Great Britain in a guarantee of the neutralily cf the proponed new waterway, because Eogland already enjoyed certain treaty rights upon the isthmus.' But they were decidedly unwilling to in vite other European nations to give their assent. Those Dations had no standing In tbe case, and it was deemed most nawlee to invite them to participate in a purely American enterprise with which they had no direct concern. By the terms of the new treaty the United States may In time cf war deal with tbe canal hs it deems be-t for its own interests. It may cloe the canal to the ahips of i!s enemies, and could, if it were thought advis able (which no one believes it ever will be,) fortify the channel of its! termini. In the broad sense the isthmian waterway is to be "All-American." The United States is to build it and to have complete control of it, un hampered by enerous restneti os. The government of Great Britain has met this question in a liberal spitlL It has assumed that it was its duty to place no utinecesiry ob stacles In the way of a work promis ing so much of importance and value to the commercial world. It has proceeded upon the princi ple that the canal is built for com merce, not for war, and that a guar antee of nondiscrimination fa after all, the most important desideratum. On this point the United Slates and Great Britain were able to agree, be cause the United States has never sought the right to rit preferential tolls In favor of American commerce. Not even the senators who defeat ed the Hay-Pauncefote treaty con tended for that. , They ere willing the canal should be thrown open to commerce on equal terms, realizing that the econo mic advantages mtut necessarily ac crue principally to tbe geographical situation. Tbe British statesman who had to deal with this problem quickly pre- cetred that any insistence upon an Internationally guaranteed neutral ity In time of war must surely come to nothing, as it was a concession which tbe people of the United States would never assent to, If Kogland Insisted upon that, the chances were the canal would be built without ref erent to ber tieaty rights in any way. By standing out lor every thing she would gain nothing and loaealL I Ambassador Chuato wilt brio; to the United States a draft of the newj treaty and President R iosevelt w!!lj soon nave u in m nnu'is. mr President will be able to discu-s it in his forthcoming meagQ to Con gress), lie warmly approves of it. It meets almost exactly ibo princi ples for which he contended a year ago. He aever opposed neutrality, providing It did not bind the bands of the United States ia time of war. He never insisted upon fortifications. advocated preferential Ur. iff. There caa belittle or no doubt that the new treaty will be approved by the American press and people, and that it will be confirmed by the Senate. During the first aixty days of the coming session all treaty ob stacles to the passage of an Isthmian canal bill should be removed. This U the resalt for which Secretary of State Hay long baa labored, lie did not succeed a year ago becauso of unexpected opposition to certain features of the treaty which be had negotiated. Instead of sulking in hla tent, he cheerfully ' accepted the popular judgment and went on with his work, showing no narrow pride of opinion, btit, to the contrary, the breadth and strength of a public ser vant who was sincerely anxious to serve his country. In this sense tbe outcome now seemingly so well as sured will be a personal victory for him. His name will be linked to one of the greatest treaties of mod ern times. . Great Britain has met tbe United States more than half way in these negotiations, without any piedgo or understanding whatsoever as to the Alaskan boundary or any other question in dispute between the two nations. The canal problem was considered and solved solely upon its own merits. For sprains, swellings and lame ness there is nothing so good as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Try. it.

So far this season steel head salmon have not made their appearance In . the streams of the Lostine country. Heretofore at this t'me ol the year they were very plcutiful In both the South Fork and Wallowa Rivers, It is said that a dam has been, placed at the mouth of Sulmou River which prevents them from going up into those streams. Tho latest news front the Malheur oil fields is to the effect thnt loca tions and locators have become so thick that the County Recorder Is obliged to Insist that the applicants form in line and take their turn when they come to file their applica tions, Very little land remains to be taken up as oil land, all that is . valuable having been taken.
