OFGENPHES IS SHIPPED TODAY The last car of green prunes from the Umpn.ua Valley was ship ped this morning, making the nine teenth for the season. It was ex pected that there would be twenty five or more cars, buf the heavy rain of Saturday effectively hailed picking aa well aa softening the fruit ao that It would not stand shipment. M.

Paa- Lvo Nurml, the champion distance runner, Is now a Finnish knight Hnd the possessor of the Order of the White Hose. These honors were conferred upon the athlete by President Helander and wore In recognition of his advancement of Finnish interests through his ath letic prowess. FALL FOOTBALL L ' START SEPT. 7 In anticipation of the coming football season, the high school coaches Doubet and Larson are getting apparatus In readiness and are making plana for the games which the local team will play. The gridiron warriors will don their toga for the first battle on October 1, when they will meet the Marshfleld team at the Coos Bay city. The second game la to be played in Roseburg a week later with the team of the North Bend high school. As school does not open until the 21st, It Is necessary for the team to get in considerable pre liminary practice, and conse quently training will start on the evening of September 7. Coach Doubet hopea at that time to get out enough men to make up two full teams, and will start work on fundamentals, continuing this training for some time before starting scrimmage. Roseburg has been making rapid progress In high school football and thla year will have another strong team. For many years football waa not played by the local high school, and it has taken a great deal of hard work to develop material, for football training must be started In the grades to really achieve the best resulta. Roys are now entering high school, however, after hav ing followed the game while smaller, and are versed In the fundamentals of the game, so that they can better accept the coaching given them In high school. This means that teams of the future will not be handi capped by a lack of knowledge on the part of the players. The school has been making a fine showing recently, and It ts expected that this year's team will be fully up to the average for schools of this size. Cook witn gaa. How long should a wife live?

He leaves the operating room and Cleo gets almost hysterical the waiting for the outcome. She Is a murderess If Paul dies. THE VALLEY OF SHADO0 (2) "Walt a minute, Mrs. Arm strong," said my unrelenting nurse as I kept going towards the door. "You can't go to your hus band, you know." "Why can't I go? Who's go ing to stop me? Not you! Where should I be If not with him? Why, my husband is dying for all you know dying, dying, I say, and you stand there and hold me. hold me back within these four walls. Stand aside!" Instead of standing aside the woman pulled me back and seat ed me forcibly in the one easy chair the room contained. "Stop," she said. "You're much (00 excited. You're acting like a child. You would only hinder matters If they'd let you Into the operating room. It'll only be a little while now until all will be over." How I hated that woman! t shuddered at her unfortunate choice of words. "A little while now, and It will all be over. Why, It sounded like the knell of doom. J rose unsteadily, flung myself on the bed, buried my face In the pillow. With a great effort I stifled my eons. I determined to compel myself to act rationally. Shortly I found I could aland It no longer, and I was out of bed again. "Help, me dress," I command ed. "If It Is, as you say, only a little while now, I must be ready to go to my huiband's room as soon as I am permitted. The woman brought me my clothes, and I put them on. I could aee ahe thought as little of me aa I did for ber. And then I waited and waited and wait ed. It seemed to me my heart waa beating slowly, but even at that it beat two or three times to every tick-toek of the clock. I sat down at my dressing table. I think I waa staring straight In to the glass, but I did cot see anything. Presently I beard a scornful sniffing behind me. I looked around. The woman had her back to me. I turned back and this time my own face loom ed up In the mirror and atared back at me. I laughed hysterically, for there were great spots of rouge on my cheeks and the other parts of my race were powdered to a calcium' ed whiteness. There waa a crim son lipstick in my hand. I give you my word, dear, diary, I didn't know I bad done any of this. Immediately I splashed on the cold cream, took off that offend ing paint and powder, and began pacing the room. "Why don't you try to keep still?" the woman said. "If you would put half the effort Into trying to compose yourself that you put Into catering to your serves, it would be much better for you. I aaid nothing, but continued my pacing up and down, up and down. At last the woman, who had evidently been sent to stay with me until It was "all over, got so upon my nerves that I begged her to leave me. "Can't you aee," I said, "that It Is you with your calmness that Is driving me mad? Please go please go away." At first she declined to go, saying that MaJ. Stetter had or dered her to stay with me and make me comfortable. "The only way you can make me comfortable," I Interrupted, 1 to disappear from my eight. Go and send me Mlse Murphy If the doctor can't come. You 11 best make the time bearable by leav ing me alone." I aaid rudely. "If you stay here I will not be re sponsible for my actiona. I feel this minute that if I have to look at your stolid face another In stant, I'll scream loud enough to throw the whole hospital into a ferment. My jailer I could not call her my nurse finally saw that I was In earnest, and after making me promise that I would stay where I wad, she left the room. hether I became calmer be cause I was alone, or whether it was because that woman left me and thus made the time seem to nass more rapidly, I do. not know. but the minutes did not drag af ter that. Soon I heard the step of the little nurse I had had the night before coming to my door. Her face was bright with smile. 'Oh. I am glad you re uo. she said. Tomorrow Out of the Valley.
