He would not send Lon there be cause that would cause her to go Into action with such bitterness she would force blm to spend more than he bad stolen on the building, but he would come to her to make terms. He would tell her he would be lenient If she kept out of bis business. And ... he would force Lon to close bis eyes to the Inforlor material going Into the building, by holding tbe threat of prosecution over his head. -PORTLAND, Nov. 13.
