 By Mrs. William Hicks Beach. The John Lane Company, Publishers, New York City.
 Beginning with review of the Dutch ancestors of Aletta Hulse. who. us an exceedingly dull English lady of highly respectable connections and habits of life. is the principal figure in this story of upper middle class life in Eng land.

Then there is a family named Duller. the member of 1t known as Miss Ann. a granddaughter of Aletta. who was, in the language of the reigning Duchess of Tarchester, "Effcctive Purpose" whatever that may mean. There are sketches of Piccadilly and other local- ties such as any I.ondoner might offer. Any number of people stalk along that well known thoroughfare, take lunch con in big houses and famous hotels, and do the countless other trivial things that make up the humdrun ex- istence of well-tc-do Britishers with a duke or two somewhere in the family The period is just before and during the late war. for Andy Duller Aletta's grandson, goes to France as an officer does his bit yaliantly. and is killed at viny Ridge In 1917.

On the rivers. streams or canals of China transportation and postal faeili- ties depend on the sampans. Women, as well as men, operate them all day and the prehonsile foot renders their task much easier. Every Chinese post man. lying on his boat, steers with his hands and rows with his toes. He holds the oar strongly between the great toe and the others and gives a vigorous motion to the boat by the powerful action of the leg muscles.

Eugene, April 26.- Although
ordered by the county health ply
sician to close their school on ac-
count of the existence of smallpox
among the pupils, the directors of
Cedar Flat district on the McKen-
zie river, Is miles east of Eugene,
sent word TO e, J. Moore, county
superintendent, that the classes
will be continued. as there seems
to be a doubt as to the nature of
the contagion.
Both DR., S, NJ. Kerron, health
officer. and Miss Mary Brownell,
county health nurse, have pro-
nounced that IL is smallpox in a
light form, and vaccination of all
the pupils of the district was ad-
vised. Fourteen out of the 2S pu-
rils in the school have broken out
with it, according to word re-
eeived by the county school super
intendent, and many of these are
still in their classes, not being i'll
enough to compel them to remain

I whole attitude was the same Ten
der, half-protecting, half-teasine
one that he always assumed when
he was particularly interested in
me. when his voice was caressing
and his eyes spoke love-
They were so engrossed with
each other that they did not
realize that there was anyone else
on earth.
81 am so glad to see you, Nell,
dear" l heard Hal say. Il have
been thinking of you almost hour
ly since l returned to this place
where we used to see so much OF

"Do you expect me to believe
thatR" the woman asked somewhat
quizzically it seemed to me.
Certainly l do. Just because
man is married there is no
reason why he should not think
of some other woman who filled
his hours with happiness long be-
fore he knew his wife. He can
not help thinking of his old love-.
WAS it love, HALF" she asked
bit wistfully.
I suddenly realized that l was
hearing something that perhaps I
should not, and l called out !:
Hal"
The woman turned suddenly
and looked at me. 1t seemed to
me that pity flased up into her
eyes and settled around her mouth
for an instant, to be suddenly re-
placed by interest.
If Hal was disconnected he did
not show it. Goodness, how you

tly," whispered under the woman s
breath, asked myself?
Come here, dear. | want to
introduce you to a very old and
very dear friend of mine, Miss
Marshall"
We bowed and murmured each
others names. At least murmur-
ed her name and she made some
sort OF an inarticulate sound.
Then she put out her hand. I
put mine into it. l liked her.
She seemed to be very human.

said; Il am coming to see you

What S New
On
he M arket

Complaint have been made BY
Salem grocers that farmers In this
vicinity who own incubators have
a bad habit of changing their
mind once the eggs are put in. On
one or two occasions farmers are
said to have put eggs to incubate.
and after having them in from two
to three days, suddenly decide 70
place them on the market. The
~ mary retail grocer has no way
Z. ceiling these eggs from others.
The only way he finds out Is
through the kick registered by his
customer, which sometimes results
in a loss Of trade all around. At
this time OF year, and with hens
laying as they never laid before
there Is no reason why all eggs
should not be in the best OF condi-
tion on the market.
While butter has been steady for
some time, creameries predict a
drop shortly. There will perhaps
be a change In the present price OF
a. and 35 cents pound by to-
morrow. Country butter is selling
for 38 to 40 cents a pound which
will change the price of the other.
Another mixed car of fresh vege-
tables will be in tomorrow. but
there is no likelihood of prices
changing. New turnips will be
quoted at cents a pound; beets,
cents; cabbage, 5 cents; toma-
toes, 25 cents a pound; extra fine
radishes, 10 cents a bunch; gu
cumbers, 30 cents apiece; and red
peppers, so cents a pound.
Good sized razor back clans re-
ceived fresh yesterday are on the
market for S5 cents dozen.

To the Editor is to be re-
GREETED that such experiences as
came to DR.. Hinman and others
lately frequently occur, and that
the innocent sometimes suffer in
the administration Of the laws.
The blame at the start must be
laid to the law violators. In the
case cited the criminal bootlegger
made the episode possible. Several
years ago Oregon voted the public
saloon out OF the state and tacitly
approved the federal Nolstead act
which became law later. The
criminal element not approving,
say In effect "the people and law
be id" and go ahead in defy
ing the popular mandate. What
must be done? Yes, what must be
done? Why, OF course, bring It to
a halt just as quick as possible and
make II feel the sting of law en-
forcement. Judge Bushey and the
county court are to be thanked for
helping to break the gang in Mar
ion county.
This writer never was connected
with the prohibition political par
ty OF past year but has ever be-
lieved the saloon a mighty crimi-
nal that should be abated.
