OPAL WHITELEY AGAIN.
TII10 mystery of Opnl "Whitelcy of Sii-rinaw, Orison, pitmen lo tlio
fort' diiiiin. Opiil, it will be. remembered wrote a most extraordi
nary tliary, which was published ill the Atlantic Monthly. It was
so unusual, reflected such a precocious mind and exoti tempera
ment, that sceptics arose on all sides, and the authenticity of the
diary was vigorously questioned.
Literary critics of the east were particularly incredulous. They
didn't so 'much doubt that a person giving 'the inline of Opal Vhite
ley wrote the diary, but they did doubt decidedly that such a person
hailed from a lumber camp in darkest Oregon. So they proceeded
with the assistance of diverse literary volunteers, to concoct n ro
mantic drama, in which the gifted Opal AVhitelcy was substituted at
some mysterious time, by some mysterious person, in some myste
rious way, for the real Opal 'Wliitcley, who, if we remember rightly,
died to accommodate tlioin.
The idea worked well. At any rate the circulation of the Atlantic
Monthly rose by leaps and bounds, and Opal's dairy, the mystery
diary, advanced to one of the six best sellers.
lint in time that scenario played out, as all scenarios, sooner or
later, do. So now a brand new mystery is presented, according to the
Oregonian. Opal Whitelcy's name is Opal dc Vere (iabriellc de
Bourbon de la Tremoillc, Stancley 'Whitelcy, and she is a descendant
ri' the Royal House of Bourbon, France, In fact, she is one of the
"many female pretenders." Moreover, Lord (ircy of Fallodcn, has
invited Opal to become a member of his household, which is conclu
sive proof, for Lord (Jrey would, not lie interested in n child prodigy
from Saginaw, Oregon, but would be hi a Bourbon! So runs the
article.
If this doesn't increase interest in the Opal cult then nothing will.
But the latest explanation should also increase the prevailing scepti
cism. For one could perfectly understand how the pristine and un
developed wilderness of this great state could product an Opal White
ley, but no one could find in any history of French royalty the slight
est indication that the Bourbon family, any time in the last 100 years,
could have produced one.
In short, if this latest talc holds, we fail to see how any loyal Ore
Ionian can defend the authenticity of the diary longer. Elbert Hub
bard may have written it, or Carrie Jacobs Bond, but Opal Bariclle
de Bourbon. Never!
However, as far as Miss AVhitelcy and the Atlantic Monthly are
concerned, they, as the saying goes, should worry. For Miss
Whitelcy has already made $2.1,000 out of project and the value of
tho Atlantic monthly's recent rise from back bay obscurity to popu
lar favor, can scarcely 'be measured in anything as vulgar as money.

YAP.
I NFA'KR heard the name of Yap in all my days, till lately; I
knew not it was on tins map, or that it mattered greatly. I'd
heard of Swat, -whose Ahlcoond rose long since, t') heights of
glory; but Yap has never, I suppose, been seen in song or story.
I do not know what waters lave its shores of mud or coral, but
now it's malting nations rave, inspires another (iiarrel. I have en
countered many yaps, who all around have flourished, and never
wondered if these chaps in Yap were born and nourished. And
now this island, cape or rock, peninsula or hollow, is stirring up
much warlike talk, and there'll be more to follow. I'm always
prompt to join a scrap when foemen need a whipping, but I would
hate to fight for Yap, with yaps around me yipping. I'll not be
with the craven crew if call to arms is spoken; I'd bravely fight
for Timbuctoo, and slug for old Uoboken; the country's foe I'll
roundly slap, my wrath on him I'll visit, but I would hate to
scrap for Yap or any great what-is-it! Is it a thing like Pugct
Sound, n lake like good old Krie, is it a hollow in the ground, a
desert bleak and dreary? Is it a crater or a gap, a haven for the
farmer? I'll have to know much more of Yap before I don my
armor.
