A picture in a national magazine
turned the trail of memory back
ward nearly so years for a Helena
woman recently when she ran
across a photograph of her hus-
band, herself and family taken in
1890 when they were Montana
bound in a covered wagon. The
woman is Mrs. May Tuck and the
photograph appeared in a recent
issue of Life where it was noticed
by her son, Ira Tuck.
The. photograph appears in the
American Yesterdays" section Of the
magazine which features the work of
William H. Jackson, a pioneer photog-
rapher who caught up with the Tucks
somewhere IN the Nebraska sandhills
in 1890 and asked permission to take
the picture of the family which was
trekking over the Oregon trail toward
Montana IN a covered wagon drawn
by team OF horses.
Mrs. Tuck recalls the incident well
but said she had not seen the photo
graph which Jackson gave them for
years and years. She had, In fact
forgotten all about 1t until the picture
appeared in the magazine and was no
ticed by her son.
The picture shows Mr.. and Mrs.
Tuck standing beside the covered
wagon with a cousin, Tom Roberts, |
who died several years ago. Inside the |
wagon three children are peeping out. |
One is Ira, who noticed the photo /
graph, the others are now Mrs. Ira !
aoburg of Lincoln and Mrs. w. E. /
Jones of Helena. The latter two how I
ever. were too small to remember the
Incident.
Mrs. Tuck recalls that she and her
husband left Litchfield, Neb., by COW
cred wagon early in June westward
,oumd They arrived in Wyoming in
July where Tuck obtained work on
! ranch. About the first of September
hey pulled out for Helena, arriving
here Sept. %, 1890. Tuck was engaged
n the ranching business near Lincoln
or the balance of his life. He died
everal years ago.
Where Life obtained a copy Of the
icture, Mrs. Tuck has no idea.

He flung himself out, and after des-
perate moments Anne followed. She
had stood waiting for six months, she
could wait no longer.
Moonlight showed the channel still
wild. Sally's voice, high with anger,
was coming UP from the boat:
did you think I was going TO sit
while you stayed all night?"
David spoke with cutting clearness:
Il certainly did not think that you
would come to round me I'D"

Sally cried out In fury, but her
words were lost In a sudden racket Of
machinery. The boat darted off, leaV-
ing David on the landing.
This was no time to go to him. Anne
had turned to mount the path when
running for the boathouse. For a
frozen heartbeat Anne thought that

nto the boat as he rolled back the
Ioors. Pete would lose his head and

The engine sputtered, halted, then
nerctfully went ahead. They shot
cross the cove, David ready with a

Of the metaled road from the mis-
sion by the reflected light of the
burning city. the major knew sud-
denly that there was no hope for
Edwina. Why he believed this he
could not say. and he made no
attempt TO analyze the feeling. 1t
was simply that he seemed to
know IL. as II the trees along the
road had told him. and as If the
wrecked houses and the spirits of
the dead had spoken. Throughout
the day he had wrestled with the
angels OF the spirit. now winning,
now losing. but always divided and
confused in his mind. Most of the
day she had slept. quietly as r
child, the fever consuming her A
half-doxen times he went into the
little room where pudgy Miss
Hodge sat on a stiff uncomfortable
chair. staring for hours on end at
the figure on the bed.
Once when Miss Hodge looked
up as he came in. ne thought
wickedly. why could IT not have
been her they attacked. II would
he better II she died"
At 4 o'clock. when he went in to
see her. she WAS awake. her eyes
dull with fever, her cheeks burn
ing. The faint pinkish spots had
begun TO appear. so that he knew
now what the illness WAS. At
sight Of them he thought. she
must have been i'll for two or three
days. She must have caught the
infection even before the earth
quake happened She had perhaps
brought II with her from the
north across the burning dusty
plains.
When she saw him she smiled
and said. II was waiting for you
and held out her hand. He took ii
and sat on the edge of the bed.
Neither OF them took any notice
OF poor Miss Hodge. who rose from
her chair and began fluttering
about the room, changing the po-
sition Of the water-pitcher. giving
the bed cover a tug and q pat. The

marks N the interview with you

not sound like you TO be Snug or

you never 20 10 the movies except
10 see one Of the three actresses
or four actors you have named .
In addition TO these you say YOU
ike Ronald Coiman sometimes.

Does this mean that you listen 10
the latter only over the radio >
Il IS really very hard for me to
think Of you as the person YOU
seem 10 be in THIS article. and I
am hoping you can send me an
explanation.
Answer: ! am more than glad
TO answer this letter because Il
may be that this same impression
certainly not intended either by
me or by my nterviewer-has
been given to others Of my read
ers. II is true that I do particu-
larry like the actresses and ac-
tors named. but I couldn't begin
to count all the others for whom
l have quite as great a liking and
go TO see regularly. I must have
Jumbled my words to have given
the impression that I liked Rom
aid Colman only sometimes and
liked Herbert Marshall only for
his voice. l have always thought
the latter a charming actor and I
have never seen Ronald Colman
when I thought him less than per-
feet in his part.
