TELEPHONE SERVICE
Rain, Mud, Snow, Sleet and Slush may be
avoided by making your journeys and doing
your errands over the telephone.
If an appointment were bet
ter postponed, the telephone
fits in better and smooths
things out.
No other way is so far reach
ing, so inexpensive, so satis
factory, and so necessary to the
progressive business man. It
is the modern way and takes
the place of a personal visit.
Remember that our long dis
tance lines reach every village,
city and town of any importance
in the Northwest, and that to
the average business man long
distance telephone service is in
dispensable.

IHER NARROW
ESCAPE
By MOLLIE K. WETHERELL
Copyright by American Press ASSO'
clation, 191L
Pepita was a Mexican girl livips
with an aunt in southern CaliforniA.
Pepita was an orphan and had inher
ited a patch of ground, on which the
two lived. Near by was another Mex
leap family consisting of father. moth
er and one son, Enrique, just comning
of age. Enrique and Pepita, being
neighbors and there being no other
young men and women near by to dil
vert them from each other, naturally
loved.
One day a man was seen digging in
a patch of ground adjoining Pepits's
property. He was an American and,
though roughly dressed, gave evidence
of being a gentleman. Seeing Pepita
standing looking at him curiously, he
went over to where she was and ask
ed for a drink of water. Pepita got
it for him from a spring back of the
house, and the stranger chatted with
her. She asked him what he was dig
ging the hole for, and he said be was
prospecting. There had been no hunt
ing for the precious metals theft be
fore, and Pepita did not understand
what he meant,
The stranger came over occasionally
after that for a drink of water or to
borrow something. He said his name
was -Whomas Burkhalter; that he was
the 44 of a gentleman in the east.
Hip'hadn't got on well with his tather
and had come out west to shift for
himself. Pepita thought him very
fine. After looking at his white face
Enrique's brown visage was not at all
attractive. Enrique noticed a change
in her, but was at a loss to account
for it.
One day a man came to Burkhalter',
hole. He was a well dressed man and
wore a diamond stickpin in his neck
wear. Pepita saw him and Burk
halter standing together talking and
looking over at her house. The stran
ger went away, and that evening
Burkhalter came over to see Pepita
She asked him about the man who had
visited him, but Burkhalter was un
communicative on the subject One
thing Pepita noticed-that he was very
attentive and deferential to her.
Burkhalter during the next four. of
five days did as much courting as IF
usually done in months, sometimes in
years. He quite carried Pepita off tier
feet. She discovered that Enrique
knew nothing at all about making love
Enrique was much distressed. What
could he do? But Enrique had more
sense than Pepita and knew a little
more about the world, though not
much more. At any rate, he had sense
enough to suspect that Burkhalter had
some motive in devoting himself tc
Pepita. He went to an old rancher
who had always been kind to him and
told him his trouble. One day Enrique
went to Grigsby, the rancher, and told
him that Burkhalter had asked Pepita
to marry him.
"That's all talk," said Grigsby.
"No, no," cried Enrique; "they are
to be married tomorrow. Pepita doer
not wish it so soon, but the man in
sists. Bhe would like to raise a little
money so that she may get some new
clothes to make her appear worthy oi
so fine a husband."
Grigsby thought, He was turning
something over in his mind. At lasi
he said:
"If Pepita is going to be marries
she will not need her farm. What sht
needs is a little cash. I will buy her
property. Go and ask her for what
she will sell it But say to her that
I will not buy it unless she keeps my
offer a secret You may tell her I
will give her $600."
Enrique sorrowfully bore the mes
sage and returned with Pepita, whc
was delighted to get so much money
for what was really not suppos4d tc
be worth more than half the amount
offered. Grigsby drew up the papers
conveying the property to Enrique
and placed a mortgage on it payable
to himself.
"Now," he said to Pepita, "you nhy
tell whom you like that you have sold
your farm."
In the evening Burkhalter came tc
see his fiancee and asked her if she
would be ready for the wedding the
next day. Pepita said she would and
gleefully told him she had sold her
property for the enormous sum of
$600. Then she showed him the money
she had got for it
He stood looking at her with a blank
expression for some time, then told
her to put her name on the back of the
check and he would ride to a town
ten miles distant and draw the money.
She must be ready for the ceremony
by the time of his return. She did as
he bade her, and, leaving her, forget
ting the kiss, he departed.
Pepita waited all that day and the
next for her lover, but be came not
Nor has he come to this day. Peptta's
aunt at last told her that he must
have gone away with the money tfr
the farm. What should they do? Their
bome was sold, and they had nowhere
to lay their heads.
Meanwhile Grigsby had gone to the
hole Burkhalter had left with experts
and had found that Burkhalter had
struck a vein of ore too narrow to pay.
but beginning to open up in the farm
Pepita had sold.
Then -came Enrique and showed her
his deed to her property and tpld her
that it was likely worth a fortune.
And so it was. Grigsby furnished the
means to develop it, and it was sold
for a large amount. Enrique forgave
Pepita and they were married, but
the wife never forgot her folly and
her husband's common sense.
