A Tryst by Proxy.

Hanson and his boy had ridden Ill

dark when they arrived. Leaving tht
boy there, Hanson rode TO the edge OF

When she recognized Hanson she

Hanson, ''for Wen have to move along

"Only little sprain," replied Han

Hanson swung his pony about, and
Meriem followed him. They rode north
along the edge Of the jungle for mile
and then turned straight into it toward
the west. Meriem, following. paid lit

know exactly where HansOn's camp

was not leading ner toward it.
All night they rode straight toward
the west. When morning came Han

The Louisiana Federation Oh
Womaa's Cubs Stand For
Service In Time OF War

There are II departments of work
embraced by the federation, these
departments being shaped to con-
form to the emergency service as
set forth by the government. The
objects held in view in operation Of
the departments are: First, to be of
utmost service to man and the gov
eminent in time of need; second,
and quite as important, to keep
alive in every community the sense
Of law and order and value of per-
manent institutions for the re-
building of society when the tumult
OF war has passed.
Working along these lines, shap-
ing the work according to the plans
of the general federation, the ar,
department has made scrapbooks
for the use of invalid and GONZALES
vcent hospitals, postcards Of Ameri-
.can paintings, published by the gen
eral federation, have been placed in
hospitals, pictures of our nations
greatest patriots have been present
ed to schools aiding in this instance
in the instilling Of patriotism among
children.
Civic cimmittees have secured va
cant lots for community war gard
ems and are urging every man, WON
and child to start emergency say,
ings accounts. Also, civic commit
tees have provided for training Of
girls in lines fitting them for ser
vice in national emergency. The
United States government has ask
ed all federated club women, thru
the civil service committees, to en-
phasize the need Of women receiv-
ing training in stenography and
typewriting that they may be in
position to fill the demands for such
service. Women are compiling lists
Of all public positions open to wom-
en- and the training required with
the purpose of supplying the de-
mand.
The home economics department
has aided in formation Of public
school clubs for production and
preservation of food materials.
Much has been accomplished in 9TH
cr departments, the above being in
illustration Of the activities of club
work and a promise of what NAV
be expected in the coming year.
The state federation is, compos-
cd of 120 clubs with a membership
Of 1900 and has been a strong
builder in the constructive work in
the state, along many lines of
peace. The state federation now
stands for service in time Of war.
The federation offers as well as
asks for cooperation from all
women. sS IX

For a moment she eluded Malbihn
and ran toward the entrance to the
tent, but at the very doorway his heavy
hand fell upon her shoulders and drag

the fury of wounded liOness. Meriem
grasped the long revolver by the bar

and crashed it down full in Malbihr's

With an oath of pain and rage the
man staggered backward, releasing his
hold upon her, and then sank uncon-

Several of the blacks saw her and
tried to intercept her flight, but the
menace of the harmless weapon kept
them at distance.

T. c. Elliott Company in Dry
Goods---Stephens c. Hassell
Will Open Grocery.

Two new firms will commence bus
mess in the Mosgrove building at the
corner of Main and Third streets next
Saturday, March 10th. The T. C.
Elliott Company has purchased the
Mosgrove stock Of dry goods, clothing,
furnishings. shoes. etc, and announces
the stock will be closed out.
The T. c. Elliott Company does a
large general merchandising business
at Milton, and is rated as one of the
strongest firms in this part of the
county, and will be valuable addition
to Athena business circles.
Some weeks ago the Mosgrove Mer-
camille Company entirely closed out
its grocery department at a sale in
augurated for the purpose. The COM
pany has now leased its corner store
room to Messrs. Stephens a. Hassell,
of Pendelton. who will engage in the
grocery and produce business exclu-
sively. The interior of the store room
is undergoing alterations to conform
with accommodations and conveniences
for an up-to-date grocery !
In way Of introducing TIE members
of the new firm to the people of Ath-
ena and vicinity, the Press copies the
following from the Pendleton East
OAegonian:
"a deal has just been closed where
,by Ralph Hassell and Omar Stephens
of this city have purchased the grocery
department Of the Mosgrove store at
Athena. They will take charge Mon
day and by March 10th expect to open
up for business with one of the most
modern, small town groceries in tine
state /Mr. Hassell has been connected
with tthe grocery business for the past
ten Years. the last six of which he has
been with the Peoples Warehouse. He
knows the business thoroughly and his
experience will be big asset for the
new partnership. Mr.. Stephens has
lately been employed by the O-W. R.
g N. but has resigned his position to
enter actively upon his new venture. I"
