Well, I am 19 years old. pretty my friends say was graduated from a high school, am a native of Oregon, and I want to many an eastern man. If this note falls into the hands of a single man, nood look ing, refined, well educated and with mod habits and disposition. 1 would like to have him write to Helen l.indley, general delivery, 1'ortland, Or., airi maybe .e cUd soul mate. on the wrapper which was placed around a Hood River apple which in turn was shipped .with a consignment lo New York City, was in earnest, she mijrht write to Herbert Horton, general delivery, Portland. Horton 110 yaers of IH with all the dapperness of a New Yorker, a college graduate, and with enough money to buy cigars for the hunch, is the person who tells the second chapter of the story. Horton likes apples. Further, he likes western apples About two months ago he wandered past a fruit stand in New York city, and his eye fell on an array of Hood River apples. They were wrapped hi paper wrappers He DOUght several and took them to his apartment. When lie opened the bag, writing on one of the wrappers attracted his attention. It wad the note written by the girlperhaps. Horton became interested and that night he sat at his writing desk for several hours, concocting a reply which inougiu proper, f inally it was achieved, It read "1 think 1 am everything you ask for. I would like to hear furhtar from you, and perhaps when 1 go west next spring 1 will have an opportunity lo call on you. He addressed the letter to "Helen Lindley general delivery, Portland, Ore.," as per instructions, and three weeks afterward got the answer. It was longer than his reply, was well written, aim me note paper hail a monogram, but Horton could not find that a "H" or "1." were part of its twinings. "Helen Lindley" for so she signed her name, was pleased. She spoke of fate, and all that, but she didn't go into further details about herself. She described the country, told of the whim which compelled her to write the note on the apple wrapper, ami seemed amused because of the caper. "My father and 1 were on a trip to Hood River," she said. "1 was watch ing the men pack apples, and just for fun 1 wrote that note on the wrapper, 1 had heard of girls writing notes on eggs they were packing, and putting notes in cigarette boxes, and thought it great fun. I live in Portland, but that is all 1 can tell you now." She said her address must remain the same general delivery, Portland, Or." Horton wrote strain, and Helen j Lindley wrote again, and the corres pondence became interesting to Horton -perhaps to the girl. Before many letters had been exchanged, Horton had mailed a good picture of himself. Then, after repeated recpiests on the part of Horton, the girl sent a picture, which she said was one of herself. Hut Horton later found it was a picture of a well known actress. Not discouraged, the New Yorker kept up the correspondence. When he linally decided to make the trip west, he wrote the girl that he was due in Portland Friday, and would stay at the Hotel Portland. She, in reply said she would telephone to him. Hut when Horton arrived he found he could not get quarters at the hotel mentioned because of the crowd of guests. In despair he sent two letters through general delivery, giving his hotel, and then, when no answer came confided his woes to a reporter. "Her letters have made a hit with me, said Horton. I don t much care if she is not beautiful -but. I'll be dollars to doughnut she Is. .V girl who can write such letters as she did must be beautiful, and everything else that is nice. Whv, perhaps I'll marn her that is, if she'll have me. W ho knows? Why, nobody knows. " a Horton was graduated an electrical engineer, but has never followed that profession. The son of wealthy parents he has lived a hie ol rase. eslerdav he said he thought he would buy Ore gon farm Jand and be a rancher. Rut he wasn't quite sure what he would do until he found out more about "Miss Helen Lindley" whoever she is. And so, if the girl who signs herself "Helen Lindley, and in the last few letters got so fond of her correspondent that she left off the surname, rather likes the good-looking attractive yomig chap, to whom she has been writing for mouths, it would be a good plan for her to either write to him care of genreal delivery, or call for her mail at the general delivery window, and find at what hotel lie is staying.- Port land Journal. will be rendered Music, Invocation, Quartette Salutatory, "Moral Worth, Music, "Our Country" Class Will, Barrett School Commencement.
