M clilla, Aug. 25.— General Marina, commander o f tko Spanish forces, said today that he planned to assume the of fenaive within ten days. I t is evident that he feels keenly his responsibility, knowing that far more depends upon the next movement that the actual sue cess or failure o f the m ilitary opera tions against the Moors. The events o f the next fe w weeks here may fix the fa te o f the Spanish dy nasty. A reverse might prove fatal; lieuco General Marina is leaving noth ing to chance. When he moves he will be at the head o f a fqjrce so strong that the R iffs cannot by any possible means win a victory in the open. M elilla and the railway have been converted into a veritable fortress and it would require an army with a siege train and modern ordnance to capture the points. Everything now turns on the con struction o f the canal to Marchica. I f this fails, the task o f the Spaniards will be greater, us all the supplies must be brought by land and exposed to Moorish attacks. Since the earthquake o f 1894 closed the exit to the sea, the water at M ar chica has evaporated and receded. By rdbpening the channel, the Spaniards hope to raise it to the former lovel, making it navigable fo r transports. The success o f this will cnuble General M a rina to feed the army by w ay of the sea. Many feel that a litte more dash to fl.v, enterprise would have been advisi- ble, but tho memory o f P in to ’s roverse appears to have sunk deep into the gen eral’s mind. ' The fact that no attempt is permitted to dislodge the enemy has resulted in more daring tactics on the part o f the Moors each dny, which might bo checked i f the Spaniards sent out a few sharpshooters. There is a strange fear o f some lurking trap like that into which General Pinto fell. The P ira te of C O U H S E T O B E IM P R O V E D . IM P R O V IN G F A IR G R O U N D S . C o rre sp o n d e n ce S ch o o l C lo s e s S e c New ond Y e a r ’s W ork University of Oregon, Eugene— The second year of the correspondence study department of the University o f Ore gon has just closed with an enrollment of more than 350 students. This is a material increase over the number en rolled last yesr, and there is hardly a county of the state not represented among the students. In all respects the results of the work of the past year have been most satis factory, and the plans for the coming year include expansion in all depart ments. Dr. Herman Burr Leonard, o f the de partment of mathematics, who has had a number of years’ connection with cor respondence schools in the East, and who has been very successful in his cor respondence courses in mathematics at the university during the past two years, has been put in general charge of all correspondence work. He will be assisted in the office work by Miss Mazelie Hair, formerly an instrutor in the department of English literature, and the work in the field will be in charge of Professor L. R. Alderman. Plans for the coming year include sev eral courses each in the departments of mathematics, English literature, Eng lish composition, botany, history, edu cation, economics, mechanical drawing and phyBics, and an enrollment of 500 tudents is expected. The correspond ence study work will begin in Septem ber. S e w e r Sy ste m , New E n tra n ce and Many New Buildings. Salem.— W ork has been started on the system o f sewerage authorized by the last legislature for the state fair, and the fa ir grounds wil present a busy scene to visitors until the fa ir opens on Monday, September 13. Besides 35 con victs employed on the grounds, Secre tary Frank Welch had advertised that as many men w ill be employed in d ig ging ditches as can be hired for 25 cts. an hour. A 22-inch sewer will be laid from the fair grounds through north Sa lem to the site o f the new D eaf Mute school, where the state board o f agri culture will co operate with the state board o f education in the completion o f tho project. The sewer will run from the D eaf Mute school, thence to tho river about one mile and a half from the fa ir grounds. Tho sewer fo r the fa ir grounds was almost demanded by the state board o f health. Besides benefiting the state institutions, for which it was primarily constructed to serve, it w ill g ive the city o f Salem additional needed sewer age, and those property owners who have donated right of way w ill be p riv ileged to use the sewer. A mammoth entrance is being built which gives the grounds this year a more imposing appearance from the out- Hide. Several new buildings are under course o f construction that w ill give more room fo r the display o f exhibits. A ll the work is under contract to be finished by September 13, at which time the fa ir is billed to open for one week. The entries are beginning to come in, and the office force at the fa ir grounds is swamped with work attend ing to the classification o f the stock entries. I t is believed the fa ir this year w ill easily surpass all previous exhibi tions. r u p e r t ' s a r g e n t HOLLAND A ^ t a ir A uthor of “ The Count a t H arvard,” etc. Copyright, 1808. by J. B.

I was in two minds as to what to do. I could nog disappoint hsr without seem ing more than churlish, without writing myself down once and for all as no gen tleman, and yst the sight of her note roused much of my sleeping resentment. I f I went, I would at !*t*t show her that two could play at her game. I visited the larder and decided on s menn. Then I startled Charles half out of hia senses, though to hie credit be it said he never showed It. "You will peck these things” — I pointed out certain pro visions— "In the wheelbarrow, end take them on to the Ship an the beach. Yon will also take the folding-table from my •tndy, and two folding-chairs, and set the table on the deck. I am going to take tuppsr there with a lady at 8. You can leave the iced tea In a bottle. Have the supper ready at a quarter before the hour, and then leave. W e will not re quire any service.’’ "Yea, Mr. Felix,” eald Charles, sedate ly. I frowned as though tha whole pro ceeding bored me, and returned to my work. As half past 5 I dressed carefully and left the house. As I walked up the beach I could not help but contrast this sunny scene with the night of the storm. What ever that night had brought to Alastair, It was clear I was not to know much about it. I waited on the ahore until Mias Gra ham appeared, and crossed the path with her to the Ship. I pulled the short rope- ladder over the side and helped her on board. W e beheld a »upper table Immac ulately eet, and place» for two. Miss Graham was delighted, snd I could not help relenting a little when I saw how very pleased she was. More over, I was the host, and ehe my guest, and I could not cast a shadow over my own feast. I tried, therefore, as beet I could, to forget Islip and the locket, and to think only of what a beautiful late afternoon It was, of how frysh the smell of the sea came to the old Ship's decks, and of the beauty of the girl who eat across from me. I think she detected that at first I was making an effort, and so tried to help me, for she was very lively and talkative, making much rport of the eupper, all the course» of which were apread before us at once, and of our having to wait upon ourselves. When we had finished supper, I asked Miss Graham's permission to light a cig arette, and pushed my chair a little back from the table. There was a new moon In the sky, and I pointed It out to her. "This is the finest hour of the day,” I Bald. “ I f only the Ship would up an chor and take us for a s a il!” “ I f your pirate doesn’t come now, just after supper, with a crescent moon hang ing right side up, I don’t believe he ever will,” put In the girl pensively. _ Her playful words, combined" with the Ingenuous voice and the far-away, child- .ike dreaming of her eyes, aroused some thing of my old resentment. Almost be fore I knew what I was doing I had fal len a victim to an Impulsive temptation, and was leaning on the table with my eyes fixed on her. (T o be continued.)
