tin length of time for you to make flit
necessary arrangements, and I wlU be
a paUent at I can."
Tht Brat thing to do, Huvllger told
me, waa to prepare a passport He had
a blank on and It waa a comparatively
Utopia matter to Oil la tha spacee, st
ing genuine pas port which HoyUget
possessed aa aampta of tha hand
writing of tha pasnport dark. My oc
cupation iraa entered aa that of a
tailor. My blrthplaca wa cava aa
Spain, and wa put my ago at thirty.
Aa a matter of fact, at that ttmt 1
could easily hart passed for thirty
five, but wa figured that with propel
food and a decent placa to sleep at
night, I could toon regain my normal
appearance, and tha paaaport would
have to serve ma, perhaps, for atTeral
weeks to come
Filling In tha. blank tpacaa on the
pa x port waa, at I hart said, a com
paratUely easy matter, bnt that did
not begin to fill tha bUL Every genu
ine passport bora an official rabbet
stamp, something like an elaborate
postmark, and I waa at a loaa to know
how to get evr that difficulty.
Fortunately, however, Huyllger bad
half of a rubber stamp which had evi
dently been thrown away by tha Oer
msns, and ha planned to construct the
other half out of tha cork from a wine
bottle, Ea was very aklllfal with a
penknife, and although ho tpotlf a
score or mora of corks before ha sue-!
ctteaea in getting anytning iue we
result he waa after, tha finished article
waa far better than our moat sanguine
expectations. Indeed, after wa had
pared It over here and there, and re
moved whatever Imperfections our re
peated test disclosed, we had a stamp
which made an impression e closely
resembling the original that without a
magnifying glass, wa wars sura, It
would have been Impossible to tail
that It waa a counterfeit
Buyllger procured a camera tnd
took a photograph of ma to pasta on
the passport la tha placa provided for
that purpose, and wa then bad a pass
port which waa entirely satisfactory
to both of ns and would, wa hoped,
prove equally so to oar friends the
Huns.
It bad taken two days to ox up tht
passport In the meanwhile Buyllger
Informed me that he bad changed his
plans about the convent and that In
stead he would take me to an empty
houxe. where I could remain In aafety
until be told ma It waa advisable for
me to proceed to the frontier.
This was quite agreeable to me, as I
bad bad misgivings ss to tha kind
of a priest I would make and It seemed
to me to be safer to remain aloof from
everyone In a deserted house than to
have to mingle with people or come In
contact with them, even with tha best
of disguises.
That night I accompanied Huyllgerl
to a fashionable section of tha cifyj
where the house In which I was to be
concealed was located.
This bouse turned out to be a four-
story structure of brick. Buyllger told
me that It had been occupied by aj
wealthy Belgian before the war, but
since 1914 It had been uninhabited save'
for the occasional habitation of some
refugee whom Huyllger waa befriend
ing, j
Huyllger had a key and let ma In,'
but he did not enter the house with;
me, stating that he would visit ma In
the morning.
I explored the place from top to bot
tom as well as I could without lights.
The house was elaborately furnished,
but, of course, the dust lay a quarter,
of .an Inch thick everywhere. It was a'
large house, containing some twenty
rooms. There were two rooms In the
basement four on the first floor, four
on the second five on the third snd five
on the top. In the days thst were to
come-1 was to have plenty of oppor-,
tunity to familiarise myself with the
contents of that house but at that time
I did not know It and I was curious
enough to want to know just what the
house contained.
Down In the basement there was a
huge pantry but It was absolutely bare,
except of dust and dirt. A door which
evidently led to a sub-basement at
tracted my attention and I thought It
might be a good Idea to'know Just
where It led to In case It became neces
sary for me to elude searchers.
: In that cellar I found case after case
of choice wine Huyllger subsequently
told me that there were 1,800 bottles of
It! I waa so happy at tha turn my
affairs had taken and In tha rosy pros
pects which I now entertained that I
was half Inclined to indulge In a little
celebration then and there. On second
thought, however, I remembered the
old warning of the folly of shouting
before you are well out of the woods,
and I decided that it would be Just as
well to postpone the festivities for st
while, and go to bed instead.

Ann McLaren Hardie
A
Mrs. Ann McLaren Hardie waa born
November V 1835, at Old Rattray,
Perthshire, Scotland; was married
there to Alexander Hardie tn tha year
1864; died September SO, 1918, in Port
land, Oregon, at tha noma of her daugh
ter, airs. William Christie. Twelve
children were born to this couple, of
whom nine are still living. There are
also S3 grandchildren and "27 great
grandchildren.
In the year 1884 the family came
from Scotland to Trailfork. Gilliam
county. Oregon, which baa been the
family home aver since. There a few
year ago tha father died. Last year,
owing to failing health. Mrs. Hardie
went to Portland to live with bar
daughters who ministered to her every
want with tendereet, loving car. Hav
ing coma of a long-lived race, of sturdy
Scotch Presbyterian stock (her father
was 95 when he died), Mrs. Hardie waa
hale and hearty almost to the end,
when, at the ripe age of 84 years, she
passed on to her reward.
For many yeara Mrs. Hardie, who
waa often referred to in Gilliam county
aa tha "Queen of tha Clan," kept open
house and dispensed hospitality with
laviah hand to all who came to her
home. Many a poor homesick Scotch
immigrant has had causa to bleu her
for many kindnesses shown to him in
time of need, and all tha neighbors
round about sensed the kindness of her
heart Sba was a typical Oregon pio
neer, who leaves her adopted state
much the better for her having lived in
it To the end aha was Intensely pa
triotic, supporting, every war activity.
She waa a woman; of noble character
and great intelligence, who had a large
outlook upon life, born of much read
ing, observation and contemplation.
Those who knew ber best never expect
to look upon her like again.
On Friday, October 4, she wss laid
to rest by the side of her husband in
the Condon cemetery, In the presence
of a large concourse of sorrowing rela
tives and friends. Prior to the inter
ment, funeral aervicea were conducted
In the Congregational church by Rev.
Williams of Arlington, who psid a
splendid tribute to this grand old lady
In spits of her advanced age, her
face, viewed in the casket at the
church, was strikingly handsome in its
rugged beauty, her strong character
and purity of life being depicted in
every line. To gate upon the remains
wss like a benediction; there wss no
call for grief nor sorrow there. She
had fought t good fight, she had fin
ished her course, she hsd kept the
faith; she was at rest Her whole life
was a better sermon then the minister
was presching at her bier, and his ser
mon wss far above the ordinary at that
A wonderful display of flowers, prod
ucts of hill and dale and choicest blos
soms from the hothouses, typifying
the final resurrection when sll shall tee
Him face to face, were placed upon the
casket and grave by many loving
hands.
The surviving children, sll well known
and highly respected citizens are:
Alexander, David, George and Joshua
Hardie of Condon; William Hardie of
Casper, Wyoming; Mrs. Alex Outhie
and Mrs. George Wensley of The
Dalles; Mrs. William Christie and Mrs.
Ada Bouchet of Portland.
