Growing Power of Women.

MORE JETTY GOES.

Astoria, Or. Oct. l2.-Two sections
of the jetty trestle at the mouth of the
Columbia river have been destroyed by
the storm. Waves broke over the jet
ty and fully 800 feet of the structure
were carried away Just before the
accident occurred a train had come in
from the outer jetty and had left six
men behind. AS soon as the perilous
position of the men was reported, Su-
perintendent Hegardt called upon the
Point Adams life saving crew for as
sistance. The sea was very rough and
it was only after hard battle with
the waves that the life savers were
able to rescue the six men and bring
them back to Fort Stevens. The acct
dent has resulted in all work on the
jetty extension being suspended for the
winter, as the necessary repairs cannot
be made at this season of the year

NOT IN THE WEDDING PARTY
By Euphemia Holden

THE best man wove his way in
and out Of the gay throng at the
foot Of the stairway. Bright COL
4 ored confetti decorated the white
shoulders of the women and the black
coats OF the men. The atmosphere vi
brated with music and the rustic Of
gowns.
He walked across the deserted IL
brary and, drawing aside the curtains
of small den. stepped into semi
darkness.
On the broad window seat a swirl
of fluffy white stirred and a startled
head arose.
"Oh, 1 didn't expect to be found, -
said the maid OF honor ungraciously,
i m so tired. Are they nearly ready?"
She was rising SLOWLY.
Don't move" commanded the best
man, there's plenty of time"
Tucking the cushions behind her, he
sat down in chair at her side.
What pace we've led the last few
days." he sighed wearily. You girls
seem able to stand it. but, personally,
I'm SO muddled 1 don't Lnow whether
It's Ralph's wedding or mine"
Il suppose circumstances, also, make
that difficult to decide"

could not see the girls face distinctly.
but he knew the mischievous look that
cleaned in her eyes. OF course it was
no secret that Elsa and he had been
girl-and-boy lovers. but the thrust
piqued him. In fact, their few days
acquaintance had been a series of
drawn battles, without malice, but not
without keenness.
Have you ever been in love?" in
quired the best man abruptly.
II have thought 1 was" she said
simply.
''Ex-actly," he went on with meas
ured emphasis, then you've ceased
thinking SO. Later you've studied him
calmly and said to yourself: "A gentle

nostrils. The scene was like a night
mare. Even worse was the last act
with its powerful closing scene. The
touch Of his greasy lips upon her
cheek. the unnatural look of the eyes
made brilliant by the dark circles OF
crayon, startled her and before the
curtain rang down she felt that she
should scream.

spoken your answer to the question I
have wanted to ask for so long?"
She tore her hand from his grasp.

that" she painted. IF you do not let
me go 1 shall call Mr.. Torrington."
Ransom threw a black look at Tor
rington. who was placidly gathering
up small stage furnishings, dropped
her hand and turned away.

want to take me home again, to-
night7"
DO II" repeated Torrington. "I'd
like to take you to a home OF our own.

She smiled demurely. 'T think you
may" she said.
That night Jimmie Torrington ad-
dressed his shaggy terrier "Wrig-
gles," he said solemnly, when you
find in your canine walk of life a lady
dog you love, be wise. If she looks
with favor on sleek-coated puppy,
you just get that puppy to run a dog
show. It's a sure cure"
And Wriggles blinked an approving
eye.

JIMMIE TORRINGTON'S INSANITY
Rv CoIiu g
By Colin s. Collins

1HEN Jimmie Torrington pro-
Ah posed amateur theatricals as
V a means of lifting the debt
from the Kingston Golf Club.
and possibly supplying a foundation
for & building fund, the golf club
crowd decided that he must be crazy.
This belief was strengthened when
Torrington placidly consented to act
as property man and made no effort
10 prevent Herbert Ransom becoming
stage manager. It was well known
that Kittie Clausen favored these two
or her numerous train of admirers
Torrington was the type Of man
who most enjoyed doing things for
others. lie was not a handsome chap,
In spite OF his bright eyes and clear
complexion. He was rather short Of
stature (dumpy. Ransom called him),
and his favor with Kittie Clausen had
been gained by his qualities of mind
and disposition. Ransom, on the other
hand. was as striking in appearance
as the hero OF cheap novel. He made
an ideal hero for the play and even at
rehearsals he put deal of feeling into
the love scenes with Kittte.
Apparently Torrington was the only
one who did not notice the fervor
thrown into the rehearsals, and when
II was brought TO his attention he
merely smiled complacently and re-
marked that he hoped the speaker
might be able to play his part as well
on the fateful night.
Gradually this Indifference was ac-
cepted as a silent admission that Tor
rington had withdrawn from the con-
test IN favor Of his more attractive
rival, and, when he was not around,
the men began to speak OF Poor

Ransom looked surprised, but there

covered with sticks of paint of all
colors, boxes Of powder and the va
rious implements of makeup art, all
redolent Of the cheap perfume added
to conceal the rancidity Of the grease
used as foundation.
Ransom, to whom the process Of
making UP was not new, submitted to
the heavy applications of paint and
powder and started back to the stage
to superintend the final preparations.
Presently Kittie emerged from her
dressing-room and he went toward
her. She shrank from him. While
she knew that makeup was required,
she was not accustomed to seeing men
with paint on their faces and there
was something oddly repulsive in the
appearance of this man with his
heavily lined eyebrows. rouged cheeks
and whitened temples. 1t seemed like
a CHASTITY mask of the man she knew
like the badly painted portrait of an
acquaintance.
During the first act the excitement
of playing was too great to permit
her to turn her attention to other
thoughts. She could not permit her
mind to be diverted for an instant
from her next speech, the next move
across the stage.
With the second act came greater
confidence. 1t was here that the love
scenes commenced, but they did not
seem the same as at rehearsal. She
