BRUTE
BY JOSEPH CONRAD

OUGlNG IN from the rAinsSwept street,
exchanged smile and glance with
L. Miss Blank in the bar of the Three
Crows. This exchange was effected
with extreme propriety. It is shock to think
that, Il still alive, Miss Blank must be some
thing over sixty now. How time passes!
Miss Blank was good enough to say, encour-
agingly:
Only Mr.. Jermyn and Mr.. Stonor in the
parlor, with another gentleman I've never seen
before"
moved toward the parlor door. A voice
discoursing ON the other side rose so loudly that
the concluding words became quite plain in all
their atrocity.
ssThat fellow Wilmot fairly dashed her brains
out, and good job, too"
This inhuman sentiment failed TO do as much
IS to check the slight yawn Miss Blank was
achieving behind her hand.
AS opened the parlor door the same voice
went on in the same cruel strain:
Il was glad when heard she got the knock
from somebody at last. Sorry enough for poor
Wilmot, though That man and used to be
chums at one time. OF course, that was the
end Of him. A clear case if there ever was one
No way out Of it. None at ell"
The voice belonged to the gentleman Miss
Blank had never seen before.
81 was glad Of it," he repeated emphatically.
'sYou may be surprised at it, but then you
haven't gone through the experience I've had
Of her. OF course, got of scot free myself
as you can see. She did her best to break up
my pluck for me, though. She jolly near drove
as fine fellow as ever lived into madhouse.
What do you say to that-eh?"
Not an eyelid twitched in Mr.. Stonor's enor-
NOUS face. Monumental! The speaker looked
straight into my eyes.
"It used to make me sick to think Of her
going about the world numbering people,"
"I've seen her once," Jermyn declared, with
mournful indifference. "She had a house"---
The stranger in tweeds turned to stare down
at him, surprised.
'sShe had three houses" he corrected authori-
tativey. But Jermyn was not to be contra
dicted.
"She had house, I say" he repeated with
dismal obstinacy. "a great, big, ugly, white
thing. You could see it from miles away
sticking up"
$50 you could" assented the other readily.
1T was old Colchester's notion, though he was
always threatening to give her up.
II overheard once young Mr.. Apse himself
say to Mrs. Colchester confidentially: 4 assure
you, Mrs. Colchester, / am beginning to feel
quite unhappy about the name she's getting
for herself Oh says she, with deep
little hoarse laugh, If one took notice Of all
the silly talk!' and she showed Apse all her
ugly false teeth at once. 1T would take more
than that to make me lose my confidence in
her, I assure you,' says She"
II beg your pardon" I interrupted, exas-
perated, for he seemed to be addressing him
self exclusively to me, 'but who on earth
have you been talking about?"

SideHghts On The Fair

Durbin family, who was raised in
Marion county, but has been a
Californian the past 27 years with
present residence at Long Beach,
is among the state fair visitors
this week and is renewing old
acquaintance. He finds a vast
and pleasing change in city and
country development since his day
here. The timbered section from
the fair grounds north to French
Prairie he finds practically all
cleared up and turned into fine
farms, gardens, orchards and ber-
ry patches, and the hills south Of
Salem then covered by scrub oaks
he finds transformed into prune
orchards and loganberry fields;
the mud roads of Howell Prairie
are now paved highways with the
by-roads well graveled and al
ways ready for travel, while the
farm homes are surrounded by
flower gardens and equipped with
the modern conveniences of life.
The only change Dick does not
like to notice is the absence OF 50

AGAINST

MT. Angel Man Finds
No Complaint Filed
Following Arrest by
Stanifec

Seven prominent citizens OF

Iof Judge William M. Bushey this
morning to testify to the charac-
ter Of N. B. Travis, Mt. Angel
business man, who was arrested
q week ago by go Get EN- San
differ, anti-saloon league opera
tive, and his crew for having Ii
quor in his possession.
Due to the fact that Sandifer
and his men have not filed a
complaint the case could not be
heard, though Sandifer appeared
at the court house but was un-
willing to assign any reason for
not filing the complaint in the
usual way.
He left the court house this
morning stating that he was go-
ing to take the matter to the fed
eral courts, according to one of
the witnesses which was to have
appeared for Travis.
The story that the Mt. Angel
business men tell of the raid on

ly similar to previous activities
of the league.
