"And enny rays now could 1 and your grandma ind your Aunt Harey git along wltn out no little boy In the house?" "But I'd come back and visit you, rten and often. Honest 1 would." Aunt Lou explained that anyone illowed the great prlvllego of enter ing Heaven wag never permitted to depart. " 'Ceptlng a corse the Devil. nd you know what happened to him." Sitting at the kitchen table with bfs faco cupped in his email hands lames uVcidcd after mature dellb- i comb made the Mai burnetii that little James Btimson was not only uncommonly and mightily gifted, but beyond the shadow or a doubt one of those rare darlings of the gods, predestined by the Powers on High to great riches and sure and easy fame and success. Although the Judge Joked irrever ently about the sainted dead ba was as one with the women in their Inter est in Dr. Jim's orphaned son. Indeed the Judge became so besotted that the story, probably entirely apocry phal, apread through Now Concord that he had been In love with Molly Kwlng Stimson. A more likely explanation Is that the Judge was meant to have at least a dozen children. As the ex -govern nor's law partner he was often at the Stlmsons and saw much of the little boy: the prodigal affection that should have been scattered among a dozen centered on James. Most of the women accepted the Judge's pronouncements concerning the hopo of the Htlmsons without cavil or question. Not so Miss Julia Pratt, his great friend and near neighbor. Miss Julia gave it as her belief that the poor child was pur sued by a Jinx, losing bis father and mother so early and all. The Judge pooh-poohed this as the reasoning of a nitwit and entirely unworthy of PLACE FAST TRAIN HE .., .... mwm y mmMwuMvn a tmvmmmnmm vmimmra fi, 'I Si KB 1 1 1 ' eintlun that it would be Imposslbio to bo and live wltn his father and mother.

They agreed, however, thai Ills father doctor also took care of the Sick ancola ill hla annrn mn meats and especially of the little Doy angels who had eaten too much emnrosiai ico cream. James, howover, found It wiser not to discuss tho dellithiful mine in which Ills fnthcr dwelt with ma grandmother and grandfather or evon with Aunt Sarah. Aunt Buiah was somewhat shocked, feellni; vaguely that It was Irreligious, nnd his grandmother cried a little when he mentioned It to her.. Evon his grandfather, though he listened politely, changed the sub Joot as scou as bo decently could Grandfather always changed tho sub Ject when Knitter was mentioned by anyono except Grnndmother.

Union Pacific will luaiiRiirat additional faat train service between Portland and Chl 'aso, atata an announcement made by A. S. Edmonda, assistant traffic manaKer. I It will be a mornlnj? service from 1 Portland.

The announcement states that this train will be known as Pacific Lim ited and will afford paseenKer service exclusively, the equipment consisting of Standard Pullmans, coaches and a combination dlnlng-observation car. This additional service Is said to provide one night from Portland to Salt Lake City and Denver and two nights to Kansas city, Omaha and Chicago Through service Is also of fered to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks during the park sea son. "We consider this an Ideal setup In train service from Portland." stated Mr. Edmonds. It will, beginning April first, give Union Pacific double serv ice dally to the east, the new train departing at 8:40 In the morning and arriving in Chicago at D:25 in the evening, while the schedule of the Portland Roso will be the present de parture of 6:35 p. m., and arrival in; Chicago at 8:50 a. m. "It will be noted that these two trains will make the run In approxi mately the same elapsed time. Double service will enable passengers to dis tinguish between the two trains ac cording to tnelr needs or desires, the evening train arriving in Chicago in time for morning connections east and the morning tram out of Port land making evening connections at Chicago. This morning train Ukewls? provides a daylight trip through the Columbia River Gore, past the much-publicized Bonneville dam and over the Blue mountains, meeting an Insistent demand upon the part of ootn the local people, and tourists who come out liero with their minds i made up to see the gorge at first hand and to Inspect the gigantic 1 power project of the Columbia river I which the government is undertaking.
