of the season. Harriet and Tony were rehearsing in their theater- that little retreat walled in by the flowery banks and the willow thicket.
 The memories of their first boy and girl meeting and of the many hours they had spent there together the season, warm and rich with the fragrance of the earth and growing things-do you wonder that the young man was stupid about the play which he and the girl were rehearsing and that she had often to chide him for not getting into his part?
 His thoughts were all upon the roles that Harriet and he were to act in a play of much greater inn portance than the one in which they would appear on the Dramatic Club stage before all Orchard Hill.
 Tony wanted to make the love passages real. But the girl was oo intent upon the drama and he dar- ed not risk speaking of his very real love when she was so occupied with the art of making their stage love seem real So the boy took what comfort he could in their mil mic love scenes and waited a more

DOUGHNUTS ARE
  | BETTER IF COOKED FEW AT A TIME
Likewise Coffee Has More Delicious Flavor When
 Roasted in Small Lots

Experience shows that if too many doughnuts are put into the hot fat at once, the cooking process is hindered. The temperature of the fat is reduced and the dough- nuts become greasy.
 A similar situation occurs when coffee is roasted in bulk. It is diffi- cult to apply the heat evenly, and as a result some of the coffee berries may be overdone and some underdone. Such variation in the roast causes disappointing varia- tion in flavor.
 Hills Bros. overcame this by in- venting and patenting a process Controlled Roasting-that roasts every coffee berry evenly. With automatic control of heat and speed of operation, a few pounds at a time pass through the roasters Uniformity of roast and unequaled flavor is the result.
 Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh when you buy it because it is packed in vacuum. This process takes air which destroys the flavor of coffee from the can and keeps 1t out Coffee will not stay fresh in or dinary cans, even if air-tight. Gro cers everywhere sell Hills Bros Coffee. Ask for it by name and lool for the Arab on the can.

for us both, Tony, dear, to keep our love as it is-beautiful and un- spoiled"
 When he could not prevail against her decision he took her home along the little hillside path. For a long time he stood in the twilight, watching the door through which she had entered the house, hoping against hope that she would feel him waiting there and would come back. But the door remained clos ed.
 That play, which the Dramatic Club had presented only the night before, was given for the benefit of the Academy Library Fund. Tony was treasurer of the Club. The good villagers of Orchard Hill were wild with wrathful excitement the next day when it was discovered that Antonio Latour and the money which the Dramatic Club had earned for the school library had disappeared.

that silent moment the boys heart sank, for he knew what her an- swer would be-
 At last she smiled strange lit- tie smile and said gently, T have known for a long time, Tony, that you would some day say these things to me" She paused and her voice was not quite steady. And you have known, Tam sure, that I expected you to ask me to marry you. I should have been terribly disappointed and hurt if you had not-because-bec see, l do love you and I wanted this mo- ment, Tony, dear because it is all we can ever have"
 To all his pleadings she answered that she had given herself to the stage, recognizing their love and realizing all that the sacrifice would mean. She felt that she was born to the theater. To her, the art Of acting was sacred Antonio had been set apart by his parents to the church. In spite of their love they must go their separate ways. In desperation Tony declared he would not give her up. He argued that he had not finally committed himself to the church and that his parents had no right to say what his life work should be. He said that he would go with her; that they would together devote their lives to the theater.
 But Harriet answered: T have thought all that out, Tony; it sim lply cannot be. Inevitably we would both feel that I had come between you and your parents, even that l had lured you away from u e church. The realization would make happiness impossible. If l were to deny my own nature and give up my art we would come to the same unhappiness. It is better

THREE PLANES CROWD AROUND
 HANGAR HERE
Petersburg Still in Juneau, But Wrangell and Sitka
 Depart

Three seaplanes were clustered in and around the hangar at the northerly end of the harbor late yesterday afternoon. They were the Petersburg, which is based here; the Wrangell, which arrived from Seattle, and the Sitka, which had come from Ketchikan, all craft of the Washington-Alaska Airways.
 The Wrangell, Pilot Anscel Eek mann and Mechanic John Selby, left Juneau on her return flight to Seattle late in the afternoon. She planned to stay at Ketchikan last night and to proceed to Seat tie today. Her southbound passen- gers were Edwin Kendall, Seattle broker, and M. F. Andrews, also of Seattle, who had arrived here in the Wrangell earlier in the day.
 The Sitka, Pilot Gene Meyring and Mechanic Frank J. Wadman, arrived in Juneau late yesterday afternoon. Her passengers were Mrs. Meyring, Mrs. Leona Harold and Larry Parks from Ketchikan and N. L. Troast, architect, from Wrangell. The Sitka left here this afternoon for Cordova with Pilot Meyring, Mechanic Wadman, Mrs. Meyring, MT. Parks and Mrs. Charles s. Conover, jr., who arriv- cd here yesterday in the Wrangell from Seattle. The Sitka will be based at Cordova for an indefinite period. MT. Parks, who has been agent of the Airways at Ketchikan, will remain in Cordova to look after the Airways business there. Mrs. Meyring will stay at Cordova

SYNOPSIS: If, as Tony La tour believes, his childhood sweetheart watches from the wings, she sees his love for her surviving her marriage to Roy Donovan and her final exit from life's stage. In Pierre, her sen, Tony, formerly an actor, sces her theatrical talent re- born. The turning leaves of memory disclose Tcny's and Harriet's childhood and the budding of their affection. The girl'G talent in amateur dra- fnatieS had drawn grudging praise from Orchard Hills citi- zenry, reared to regard the stage as wicked and it's devO- tees evil-minded. But this con- viction-shared by his parents, who saw her as a barrier to Tcny's intended career as minister-did not dim Tony's hopes of marriage to Harriet, although he had not yet pro- posed to her.

opportune time.
 That play was a great success. Harriet, in her love scenes with Tony, must have felt the genuine ness of his passion. Certainly she electrified the audience like crea- ture inspired. Even those who were most emphatic in their disapproval of the professional stage and of Harriet, crowded about her, when the final curtain was down, with congratulations. The girl in the excitement of her triumph threw her arms about Tony's neck and kissed him before everybody It was an unheard-of thing for an Orchard Hill girl to do-and Or chard Hill did not forget it.
 Tony felt so confident of her love that he almost spoke that night when he took her home But some thing warned him that this was not the time; so he asked her to meet him at their theater the next day, in the afternoon.
 When the appointed hour ar rived Antonio was there, hidden among the willows. He wanted to see her as he saw her that day when barefooted, fish pole and fish in hand, he first thrilled to the charm of her girlhood
 Presently she came along the path from her home on the hill. Tony held his breath and stood very still. While waiting for her lover, not realizing that he was so near, Harriet gathered violets, exactly as on that other occasion which now seemed to Tony but an hour ago.
 At last the young man stepped forth. The girl stood, smiling, as i is she had known all the time how near he was.
 1 "Hello,n said Tony, foolishly.
 Hello" answered Harriet; and then added, with the adorable shy- ness of little girl, been fishin'?' She had remembered too!

 when Tony, who sat on the grass al
 her feet, managed to speak what
 was in his heart. For what seemed

HOOVER SPEECH
TIPOFF TO HIS
WINTER STAND
Capitol Hill Observers See
Legion Remarks as Hint
of Veto Policy.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press STAFF Corresnondenf

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The
grim tone of President Hoover's
American Legion speech at Detroit
was regarded by his associates here
today as reliable index to the at
titude the White House will take
in the gigantic struggle over many
forms of federal relief in the COM
ing winter.
His reference to an emergency
second only to war;" his appeal to
the war veterans for a virtual NOR
atorium on their demands until
after the depression, his assertion
that the government treasury can
bear no additional drain without
grave risks" and his declaration
that an attempt to bring heavy
taxes out of the rich soon would
strike the point of diminishing re-
turns and throw the burden on
those who work in the fields, and
at bench and desk, presented a
council of caution for the whole
country.
See Veto Forecast
While the short word veto" did
noS appear in iiis address, his asso-
ciates saw in his address a fore
cast that the presiL. entail pen WI
be pointed against expensive relief
legislation next winter.
The Quaker Presidents message
to the Legion bristled with the
terms war" and fight" He gave
inferential warning there will be no
White House moratorium on veto
messages.
In this address Mr.. Hoover re-
vealed the first hint of his attitude
toward increasing agitation for
heavier taxes on the rich led by
Representative Isaac Bacharach,
wealthy New Jersey Republican and
influential on the house ways and
means committee.
do not be misled by those who
say that we need only to tax the
rich to obtain the funds we need"
Mr.. Hoover told the Legion. I'VE
must face the absolute fact that
the rich can be taxed to the point
of diminishing returns, and still the
deficit in our ordinary and neces-
sary expenditures would not be COW
cred even upon basis of the ut
must economy"
Hoover Well Satisfied
AS the presidential party left De-
troit members were told that ad-
ministration friends in the legion
were confident the convention would
refrain from demanding full pay
ment of bonus certificates. s.
The matter, it was forecast in in
formation given the presidential
party, would be left to the execu-
tive committee for decision next
winter in the light of conditions at
that time.
Apparently we'll satisfied with the
effect of his sudden trip to Detroit,
Mr.. Hoover showed himself, on the
return trip, more than unusually
anxious to get back to Washington.
He asked train operatives to ar
range the schedule so he could reach
the White House in time for break
fast.
