She walked through the
house slowly, Strengthening the
drawn shades, that were
straight already. Mary tol-
lowed. Their feet echoed hol-
lowly on the uncarpeted floors.
At the door of Aunt Wilie'S
room Ma hesitated.

eyes, Ma"
"1 wish we didn't have to
leave Tootsie buried in the
backyard"
"oh, MAJ" Mary said resent
fully, because she felt the
same way. Poor Aunt Willie,
we're all going away, and leav-
ing the place where you were
happy with us, where you would
still be happy, if somebody
hadn't walked you out Of your
make-believe.
"Babe, you'll promise mother
you will be careful, and not do
anything that my own little girl
wouldn't"
"OH, MA! Don't start
THAT"
"I know, Babe. But 1-well! :!
I suppose we might as well go"
They stood there. Pa honked
outside. "Well-" Ma said
again.
They went out. Pa was wip-
ing his forehead with his hand
kerchief. "Get in, ladies'"
Mary got on the outside, be-
cause they were only driving her
to the station. She would go to
San Francisco, have dinner with
Margot at the boarding house.
Her trunk-the new wardrobe
trunk she had bought last week,
had gone on already. She had
taken her suitcase over that
morning.
"You wouldn't consider COM
ing up with us for the week
end? We could get you back
bright and early for work Mon
day."
chicken dinner!" pa said.
"You won't get that in the
boarding house." He winked and
looked hopeful.
Ma said, "Well, I don't know
about that stove, but still"
mo, I might as well go on to
San Francisco tonight, like I
planned. We've got to part
some time"
Ma began to cry then. Mary
looked straight ahead. Pa drove
the old car to the station and
stopped with a Jerk.
"WeI-"
"Well-"
"You might as well go along.
You know it's getting late and
you have a long drive ahead Of
you!"
"Well-"
Pa kissed her awkward1y, then
began his little embarrassed
song, "Da, dada da-" Ma, cry
ing in earnest now, held her
close. "And you will write right
away. You promise? And you
know what you promised me.
Oh, Babe! How can I leave
you?"
And then they drove away.
She was alone, waiting on the
corner, on Saturday afternoon,
for the train.
Mary Shannon changed that
first summer away from home.
Ma would have worried, had
she known. But she didn't
know, there was nothing in
Mary's letters to show that she
was different. The letters were
very much alike.

She picked up the little pile,
took them in to the crate in the
living room, scratched a match
on her shoe.
The dance programs made a
splendid blaze. In the last OF
the red ashes she threw the pic
ture of Jamie she had taken
from it's silver frame.
'That's the end Of you, big
boy" she said, sadly. That's
your funeral pyre."
The fire blazed up brightly.
For an instant the picture
seemed almost alive. Then
the edges curled, the face turned
gray.
She waited until it fell to
ashes. Then, half exhilarated,
half sick, she walked back
through the empty house to her
room.
That they didn't insist upon
her coming to Petaluma with
them was another thing she
couldn't understand. She would
not have gone. It would have
been impossible. They would
only have a shack at first, and
until the business began to pay
they'd have enough to do to
take care of themselves, with
out keeping a big, grown girl IN
idleness. And it would be ab-
surd to give up her job in times
like this.
Still, it did surprise her.
When she told them that she
was going to move into the
boarding house where Margot
Patterson lived, until she had
time to look around more seri-
ously and see what she really
wanted to do, Ma thought it was
very sensible.
She did insist on having Mar"
got to dinner first, but what diff
ference did that make?
Margot came, and kidded Pa,
and helped Ma wipe the dishes,
so they thought she was won
derful.
Margot was a big girl, in
clined to be heavy, and not too
refined. But she was a good
sport, and good natured, and
that would be better than be-
ing all alone.
She couldn't explain it, but
It hurt, it hurt terribly, that
the folks could go off that way
and leave her. OF course, they
couldn't help it. They had to
60. But it hurt.
And when the moving van
was out front, and the last Of
the old, familiar things on the
sidewalk, when the old upright
piano had been loaded along
with the curly maple bedroom
set that she had had ever since
she yelled for it at eleven Eyes,
and been stuck with it the
rest of her life! Served her
right for being such a selfish
bratD such a feeling of utter
desolation came over her that
she could hardly hold back
the tears.
The van drove off.
'Well, if we want to get
there before dark" Pa said.
He had all the odds and ends
loaded on his old car, the one
he had used when he was a
cutlery salesman, and had a
Job. He had the best china,
wrapped in newspaper, and
stuffed in the old green velour
portieres, in a wash tub-the
one poor Aunt Willie used to
bathe Tootsie in-in the open
rumble seat, and all the last
minute things, a washboard, a
shovel, two rakes and a big
box Of provisions, strapped on
the running board.

broke both balls on the left and right.
This remarkable feat was performed

PRINCE OTTO WAS
BEST RIFLE SHOT
PASSING OF LAST OF TRIBAL
CHIEFTAINS OF NEE PERCES RE-
CALLS PEO-PEO-TALL-KT
CBy GRACE STONE COATEsl

CBy GRACE STONE COATES)
The passing Of the last Of the Nez
Perez tribal chieftains, in northern
Idaho, recalls 20 OId-timers the mar
velOus boy chieftain Of the Nez PerceS,
known to fame as Prince Otto, and
who was in his day the most remark
able rifle shot in the world. Old
George Peo-PeO- TalI-fIrt, who died
at the home Of his nephews near
LenOre, Idaho, recently, had been
the hereditary chieftain Of the Nez
Perces since the death Of Chief
Joseph.
He never surrendered to the white
mans fashions, but wore to the last
his picturesque tribal raiment, the
blanket and the feathered headdress.
Nor would he master the white mans
tongue, but always spoke to his white
brothers through an interpreter.
Prince Otto, on the other hand,
sometimes wore white mans formal
garb, sometimes a flamboyant version
of Indian dress, though he needed no
external symbols to excite the admira-
ton Of those who watched him shoot.
He was a protege of Captain McDOn-
aid, and in press reports of the early
sos was cited as the most marvellous
shot in the world. He was taken on
tour, and In Platt's hall, San Francisco,
astonished an audience Of cosmopolites,
English, French, Russian and Italian
officers.
The River Press of Dec. q, 1881, thus
describes his performance: After go
ing through a manual of arms that
would puzzle the oldest militiamen in
the Union, Otto commenced shooting.
A framework was built upon the stage
buildings in their present location dur
ing the entire winter. And, in addi-
ton, the old log bridge viii soon have
to be condemned.
The new concrete bridge is being
built because of the condition Of the
old log bridge. The entire abutment
and half of the approach on the east
side have been finished and on the
west side the abutment is now COM
pleted. When the bridge Is completed.

Of 26 feet each and a center span OF

Of 10 feet Of roadway clearance and a J
nigh water deck about 16 feet above /

lson. DR.. Knopah is the camp doctor.
