meo thinks gave it up for him,
and just naturally want him to go
on dreaming; and Mommer got so
stuck on the idea of having an
actress in the family that it would
have handed her too much of a
jolt to be told the square-toed a
truth. Say, men are all foolish, \
and mothers was raised when the !.
world was a lot younger than it is
now; but when you've got a pal
that put her hair up same time as
you did, she knows when you're
one shy on the flush.
Remember when you and me
had the blue-and-white MILDLY
jackets and wore my hair in two
braids? It's away back now,
when we was young-mOre than
q year ago. The first night | saw
Bartolomeo McGinty, | went to
the Tuxedo movies on Fourteenth
with Susie Casals from Harlem
and we had it all framed up that
we was going to be movie queens.
Don't it beat all, some days, how
everything happens all to once?
Outside the Tuxedo there was
big poster with portrait on it,
and piece in print that said,
Lovely Della Bloom in to-day's
feature" And she sure was lovely
as peach in the film we seen,
Della was, so that you got a lump
in your throat just to look at her.
When we got out we stopped
and give her portrait the once
over. | says to Susie, "Ain't Della
the little doll?" And Susie says,
"All right, all right! But she amt
got nothing much on you" And
then she looks again, and stares
at me, and she says, "You and her
might be twins, Vic!" So | says, "Who
are you guying?" But | knowed there
was something to it, except Della had it
all over me, the way she could throw her
eyes about And had bit on her when
it came to noses, had. Delias was pug
Then Susie tells me that she's going to
quit stenography and go into the movie
business herself, because she was sick of
getting up every morning the same time
and going to the same dinky old Office.
She seen piece in the paper where it said
guy gave lessons for ten dollars, and she
was going 10 jump IN IortV StronS ana
land job and then she was going to
walk down Broadway and pull a face at
every typewriter she could see.
"Tll go in with you," | says. 81 got
eight dollars saved, and | guess | can
raise the rest some place, if have to hook
my lavallyer chain"
Sue says that would be bully, because
them agent guys was all down in the dope
with red foot-notes, but if we both went
together they couldn't pull nothing fresh
JUST while we was lamping Deia's por-
trait and fixing what salary we would
ask to start a big young sport in white

it didn't worry me a whole lot, for al
though he looked good and handsome as
ready money, the boy had guinea sticking
out all over him.
But pretty soon his nobs stares right
at me and says Sue, "Who's your baby

"Kid," he says, kinda hoarse,
"you got a fellow
"Sure," | says. 81 got five or
six, waiting up home now. That
is, if they amt got tired and quit.
But you got no steady?'
"They're all steady" tells him.
"Wish some of 'em wasn't quite
SO darned steady. But Mommer

tried to tell him | gotta go
home, but all | got out was gasp.
And then Bart whips both his big
arms around me and lifts me off
my feet, and kisses me; and his
lips was red-hot, if his fingers
wasn't. After that he puts his
ring on my finger, a big fat signet;
and he made me take hold Of
some dago charm on his watch

Bart, and laughs.

of my street, not speaking another

me he's at Greek Joe's soda foun-

No Denial Has Been Made of
Charge That Organized Vice
Backs Candidacy of Dr.. Best

-Four days ago Qast Friday it openly and directly
charged by the East Oregonian that in the mayoraty
fight organized vice back of the candidacy of DR. Best
and is opposed to the election of John Montgomery who
has the support of the business community and of the law
enforcement element in Pendleton
That charge was made with delberaton The East
Oregonan careful and reliable newspaper It does
not make serious accusations against men without having
the facts to prove its assertions This case no exception
There abundant and unmisakeabe evidence that the
vice element here almost unanimously for Dr. Best and
bitterly opposes the candidacy of Mr. Montgomery There
is positive evidence showing that in an organized way
they are seeking to dictate who shall be the next mayor
of Pendeton.
Since that charge made four days ago there has
been no open denial to its truthfuness Last evening
a sermon was preached by who for some reason
has espoused the boOeggers choice for mayor In that
talk there denial of the chief point at issue
the charge that organized liquor is fighting for Dr. Best
and against Mr.. Montgomery
Why no denial made if this charge is untrue? Why
this four days of silence when such accusation as that
stands against asprant for the highest position in the
gift of the people of Pendleton?
If there is public denial of this grave and damaging
charge will it not be public confession that the charge
is true?
