I saw him. He was a singularly handsome man, portly, dignified, well dressed and possessed of a manner perfectly charm ing, not only at ease with himself, but able to 6et life guests at their ease. He was apparently about 60 years of age. His abundant hair was of a splendid creamy white, his features were sharp and clear, his eyes singularly bright— they were of a deep blue, like those of his daughter—he not only looked, but he was a perfectly polished and delight ful man. At the very sight of him all the injurióos suspicion and doubts one had entertained of him vanished. As he talked one was lifted out of one’s self and carried into circles and among people one had never thought to know. Perhaps he talked too continuously, but nobody else present could have talked half so well, and I, for one, was content to listen. There were six or seven guests besides Paul and myself. It was an excellent dinner, admirably served, and with ad mirable wine. At first I gave myself up entirely to the enjoyment of the de lightful talk and thought of nothing else. But a strange thing happened. In the very middle of the dinner I caught a sharp and curiously suggestive glance from Isabel. It seemed to ask me what I thought now of her father, and if 1 really knew that----- I felt myself blgshing like her brother, and my mind suddenly went back tc what I had heard. Of what nature was the “cloud?” Had the ex-Q. C. really defended our host, and if so on what oc casion? And all the other scandalous statements returned to my brain. Why had the venerable clergyman opposite to me no longer a cure of souls? Why had the gallant major next to him left the army? Was it true that the Hon. Arthur Mompesson had been expelled his club for cheating at cards? And this middle aged lady, whom I had taken into dinner, could she really have poi soned her lover? And while I pondered these things our host’s pleasant, genial voice went flowing on, so that one felt the strangest incongruity between these absurd questions and the place, the talk and the people. Three weeks later the pair were quiet ly married, without any party, brides maids or ceremony at all. What Paul said to Isabel’s father I know not, but at the wedding the old man seemed strangely shaken and agitated, trem bling at every footfall. He had be come aged, one knew not why. The bride and bridegroom drove from the church to the nearest station. Mr. Reeve went home, and I wfent back to the inn. I found there the man Brundish, who had been drinking already, though it was not yet noon. “I told the old man I would inter rupt the ceremony, ” he said, with a grin, “and make him marry the girl under her true name, but he begged me not I am to dine with him tonight instead. Ha! Now that the girl is gone, he says, he does not care who comes to his house. Wanted to keep his own children from their father’s old friends, you see. There’s gratitude! Why, who defended him? Who made such a speech that all England rang with it—eh?” “Well,” I said, “now that Mr. Reeve’s daughter has married, you have done with her, at any rate, and with me too.” “I don’t know, young man, I don’t know,” he repliod. “I am, it is true, a forgiving person, which is lucky for the happy bridegroom. But then he once shook a cane over my shoulders. I don’t know if I have done with them. And I wasn’t good enough to be invited to the house. Respectable company you met there, wasn’t it? The mon drummed out his regiment The man expelled from the olubs. The woman tried”----- “Go to the devil!” I said and left him. A month or two later I heard from Paul that his father-in-law had been found dead in his bed. It appeared that he had no money of his own, but was living on his late wife’s fortune, which had been settled upon herself and was held in trust The share of it which now came to Isabel put the newly mar ried pair at once into a position of great material comfort if not wealth. But Paul w’as already making way in his profession. “I must be a judge by 45,” he said to me, laughing. “Otherwise I shall think that I have failed.” “And then, Paul?” asked Isabel. "Then I must be made lord chancel lor, and I shall pass great measures for the law of the land and shall become immortal. ” 1 never knew any couple so entirely happy as they were during the first 12 months of their marriage. They had very few friends, and these were all Paul’s own friends. They lived on Campden hilL Remember, it was long oefore Campden hill was covered with houses—and they were as selfishly and as completely happy as love could make them. Gradually the pensive and troubled look vanished from Isabel’s eyes. The “cloud,’’the I "thing,” the secret, whatever it had been, was wholly put away and forgot ten. Isabel’s brother came to town soon after his father’s death and called upon I me. “I have made up my mind, ” he said to me soon after his sister’s marriage, i “what I shall da So long as I remain in this country Isabel will always have somebody to remind her of the past. If I once go away, she will belong entirely to her husband. While I am here I shall always be in terror of the thing being found out. I shall go away, then, and travel. After a year or two I shall con vey to Isabel the news that I am dead. Then she will have broken altogether with the past. I shall settle down some where perhaps some day. I am not sure where or when, and if 1 am quite sure that I can never be identified I shall marry perhaps. But never, never will I comeback to England.” So we 6hook bands, and we parted. Six months after- , ward there came a note to Isabel iu pen cil from her brother, saying that he was dying of fever on the African coast, and that the letter would be sent on after his death. Isabel wept over the letter, but she dried her tears soon, and I think it was better that the last link which reminded her of the shame of her childhood should have been broken. As for their happiness, however, it was rudely shaken. To be Continued. FROM THE COtTNTY PRESS. Newberg Graphic. B. F. Henry of Tualatin who was in town Thursday, said he had ar rangements made to start to Hono lulu next Wednesday with a party of eight or ten. He also has something like a hundred names of persons who he thinks will go later. The rate is $75 first-class and $25 second-class. Mr. Henry, is very enthusiastic for the annexation of Hawaii. C. K. Spaulding s men, after hav ing finished up the cutting and de livering of the piling for the O. R. & N. Co.'s docks at Portland, packed their camp equipage and started for another camp up the river, when a message came from Charley who was id the city, saying he had secured another contract. Tents were again pitched and a large force of men are again at work. The new contract calls for 400 piles. Every man about town who wauts to work and who can use an ax is gettiug an opportun ity to swing one. North Yamhill Record. George Perkins, who returned re cently from St. Louis, is preparing to ship his hops direct to England. We are informed that he will handle the hops of other parties here in the same shipment. We hope this move will result in opening a direct market for our hops in the east, and do away with the 1 cent per pound commission business. Yamhill hops are world beaters, and should have no trouble in finding a good market. The news reaches us that Link Laughlin of Forest Grove, who is well known to most of readers, underwent the operation of having one of his legs amputated just above the ankle, at his home last Monday. He had been suffering from the effects of what was supposed to be a bruise on the leg for some time, which resulted in the bone becoming so diseased as to necessitate amputation. The doc tors who performed the operation from some cause neglected to take up one of the arteries, and after they had left the patient, were hastily re called on account of the excessive hemorrhage. Mr. Laughlin was for the second time placed under the influence of chloroform, and the artery taken up. While it is said by some of those present that the second operation exhausted the patient very much, he was resting easy at last ac counts. Sheridan Sun A Christian church has been or ganized at Grand Ronde by Rev. Chas. Simpson with a membership of about thirty. J. D. Faulconer is ap pointed pastor; elders, Chas. Chand ler and J. D. Faulconer; deacons, N. A. Newbill and John Haworth; clerk, Nettie Haworth. Seven new acces sions were recently baptised in the Yamhill river. Three families from the East re cently bought 640 acres near Ballston and will divide it up. There are man j’ large tracts near Sheridan that can be bought and subdivided. We have the best cheap lands in the state. Sterling Turner, who lives near Sheridan, is trying an experiment with some peach trees on some sandy, well sheltered bottom land on his farm. Fruit men are watching the experiment with some interest. Last week Ed. Lamson and others of Willamina got on a trail of some wild cattle near the eastern base of Mt. Hebo and succeeded in killing a monster steer that had not been in the corral for many years. The ani mal was as wild as a deer and only gave up after being shot several times. It dressed 1190 pounds and its horns measured four feet and one inch across. The wrinkles on the steer’s horns showed it to be 19 years old. Yamhill Independent. The city council has secured a loan from the Chehalem Valley Bank of a sufficient amount of cash to pay the running expenses of the city for the current year. Lawyer Flower, attorney for Ed Rogers in the case of Rogers vs. Thomas, has appealed from the de cision of Justice Hadley, and the matter will go before the district court. In the matter of Carter vs. Long, by Carter's attorney, Wm. Vinton, a new trial was asked for, which w-as granted, to occur next Monday. Al. Cooper has traded his place here in town to Geo. Sinclair for a complete outfit of farming tools, teams, etc., and will become a horny fisted granger. He has rented the Ferguson place over in Moore’s val ley,about six miles from North Yam hill, one of the best farms in that section. Al. is a rustler and we know he will succeed if anybody can. A young fellow, whose name we did not learn, black and dirty from his long ride in cars built for the accommodation of «oft coal and live stock, crawled out of a box car at the station here Friday, and acted as if he was at his journey’s end. He said he had come all the way from Iowa in this manner, and if he evinces as much determination in other ways as in coming out here, he will get to the front all right. A Jluch Abused Word. Amity Blade. “Just at present,” says Mrs. Stan ley, in Journal of Education, “an epi demic of ‘progr’m’ is passing over the country. We say telegram and monogram and diagram —Webster and Worcester unite on programme—but some one—no body knows who—started the report that programme was not entitled to an ‘a’ and immediately westward the star of progr m took its flight.” Rev. Sicafoose champions the county on swift hog raising. A single brood sow has brought forth 33 head all in three litters, inside of 14 months, and only ODe has died. Who can beat it? F. S. Smith has disposed of his interest in the Farmers’ & Mechanics’ store to J. W. Roth. The firm will now be Jones & Roth. Quite a sensation was occasioned yesterday during the noon intermis sion of school. Some of the children discovered the school house to be on fire. The alarm was given and inanj’ willing hands were soon ready for service. Willie Ingram, Melvin Burgess and Ed Howard, all pupils, mounted to the roof and garret and by using the bell rope to pull up buckets of water which were supplied from below, soon put out the fire. A’ hole a couple of feet square in the roof is the amount of the damage. Prof. Grimes believes the fire started from sparks from the top of the chirn- n ey because of its being too low. Dayton Herald The work of building the new Evangelical church is being rapidly pushed forward. One day this week there were 20 men at work on the building, including three ministers. It is expected that in about three weeks the church will be so far com pleted that services can be held there. Everything seems favorable to actual work on the water works in the near future. Mr. Hume was in Portland two daj’s this week looking after preliminaries, and is in corres pondence with manufacturers, ob taining prices for special castings. Edison’s Kiuetoscope in London. The latest, and not the least re markable, of Mr. Edison’s inventions is the kinetoscope, of which a private demonstration was given recent ly at 70 Oxford street. The London Times says: This instrument is to the eye what Edison’s phono graph is to the ear, in that it repro duces living movements of the most complex and rapid character. To clearly understand the effect it is necessary to explain the cause, but to appreciate the result the working of the invention must be witnessed. The moving and, apparently, living figures in the kinetoscope are pro duced in the following manner: Mr. Edison has a stage upon which the performances he reproduces are en acted. These performances are re corded by taking a series of 43 pho tographs in rapid succession, the time occupied in taking them being one second only. Thus every pro gressive phase of every single action is secured, and the photographs are successively reproduced on a film of celluloid of the length required for recording a given scene. When this film is passed before the eye at the same rate of speed as that at which the photographs were taken, the photographically disjointed parts of a given action are united in one com plete whole. Thus supposing a per son to be photographed taking off his coat—as is done in one case—the successive views representing the phase of action at every forty-third part of a second are joined up, and the complete operation of taking off the coat is presented to the eye as it is in reality. In other words, the kinetoscope is a perfect reproduction of living action without sound. The apparatus in which the repro duction takes place is a cabinet about 4 feet high, 2 feet wide, and 1 foot 9 inches deep. It contains the cellu loid film band, the apparatus for re constructing the disjointed views, and a small electric motor for driv ing the apparatus. The chief detail of the mechanism is a flat metal ring having a slot in it, which makes about 2,000 revolutions per minute. The film passes rapidly over the ring, be neath which is a light. The spec tator looks through a lens on to the film, and every action recorded on it passes under his view. Ten machines were shown, in which the most rapid and complex actions were faithfully reproduced. One scene represents a blacksmith’s shop in full operation, with three men hammer ing an iron on an anvil, and who stop in their work to take a drink. Each drinks in turn and passes the pot of beer to the other. The smoke from the forge is seen to rise most perfectly. Iu another view a Span ish dancer is shown going through her graceful evolutions, as is also Anna Belli in her serpentine dance. There is likewise a wrestling scene and a cock fight, in which the feath ers are seen to fly in all directions. All the features of an original stage production are given, of course on a small scale, but possibly only for the present on a small scale, for Mr. Edi son promises to add the phonograph to the kinetoscope and to reproduce plays. Then by amplifying the pho nograph and throwing the pictures on a screen, making them life size, he will give the world a startling repro duction of human life. Aualysi» oi Graveyard Soil. While cremation of the dead is un doubtedly growing in favor, it ap pears that the dangers attending the ordinary burial practice may have been exaggerated. This is indicated by a chemical and bacteriological ex amination bf samples of virgin soils, pure agricultural soils and graveyard soils, that has lately been made by a Scotch investigator, Dr. James Bu chanan Young. The proportion of organic matter, as judged by the organic carbon and nitrogen present in the samples, was found to be not materially greater in the soil that has been used for burial than in good pure agricultural soil. No pathogen ic organisms were discovered ¡ d the graveyard soil, and the number of bacteria present, though greater than in virgin soil, was much smaller than one might expect.
