O. L. Lehne, of Aberdeen, Wash
who visited Sutherlin Valley last
fall and purchased a tract of land
on which he planted a walnut or
chard, visited here again this
week, accompanied e by W. M.
Nulty, also of Aberdeen, says the
Sutherlin Sun. Mr. Nulty was so
favorably impressed with this val
ley and the remarkable progress
which the walnut trees In Mr.
Lehne's orchard had made, that be
decided to make Sutherlin his fu
ture home, and acting on this de
cision selected a location from
among Balfour, Guthrie Trust oom-
Dany tracts. The sale was handled
through Mr. E. G. Klngwell, local
representative or the trust com
pany. Mr. Nulty will, build a mo
darn home on the property select
ed, and early next fall will plant
ten acres of walnut trees. ,
A number ot walnut trees plant
ed in the east end of the valley
some years ago, have fully de
monstrated that high grade wal
nuts can be produced here. , Mr.
Lohno was satisfied of this tact

THI8 HA8 HAPPENED i
Posing at times as a barber at
others at Attorney Davis, a curious i
man called Vilak has come to tne ,
queer HtUe town of Porto Verde,
In west contriil Braill, to help his
cousin, Ellse Marberry, solve a
strange mystery.
Kllse, a beautlgul American girl,
has inherited a coffee plantation,
and other property adjoining Porto
Verde. Several mysterious deaths
occur, including that of one of
her foremen. She herself has been!
threatened and warned to leave.
Vilak, leiu'iiiug that Lincoln Nun-
' nally, -a famous American chemist ;
and once a teacher of hiB, is in
South America, sends for him. -Vilak
believes that Gaylord
Prentiss, a mysterious and forbid
ding man, is somehof iuvolved in
the deaths. He irleB 4o visit Pren
tiss but is ordered to stay away.
Ellse's two-year-old orphaned ne
phew Is kidnapped and Prentiss is
suspected. Vilak trucks the kid
nappers, who are on horseback.
and finally be and bis companions
come upon toe cttlld, unnarmea
and being cored for by a gang of
railroad laborers In the charge of
one Carlos D'Albentara.
Vilak tells Ellse she and the
child must leave on the next boat.
He and Nunuully return that eve
ning to reward D'Albentara and
his men with some wine. Before
they come away, Vilak, through a.
seemingly accidental fall, man
ages to get hold of a ring which
he says he snatched from the fin
ger of D'Albentara's half-breed
foreman.

said, "that the way things look now

about over. .Are you coming down
to the shop with me?" I
The old man nodded. Vilak sent
the servants back with the cart.
They turned into the highway. Ab
they did bo they saw an Indian
staggering through the brush, ob
viously in the last stages of in
toxication. He was constantly
lifting to his mouth a tin cup which
he refilled from a sort of crude
canteen at his belt. As he walk
ed he continually muttered jargon.

ed with a Chinese pallor. Tne out
man busied himself with a great
dull volume which he found lying
on a table, a book describing the
chemical resources of Brazil.
Two hours later they were on
their way .back - to the- fazendu.
They had pasBed the barrier of
mango trees, and were just riding
into the open highway when a cry,
suddenly cut short, rose from the
thick Jungle back ot viittk s ouse.
Short though it was. the ry was
undoubtedly that of a human being.
Vilak wheeled his horse, ciosnea
hack the -way he had just come,,
and dismounting at his door, began
running along a path which led
from the old stone well to the nar
row courtyard at the rear.
The old man followed, panting.
For a quarter of a mile they bolt
ed along, now in forest so black
that though the moon was shining
clearly they could see nothing ot
the sky, now past a pool oi aura,
evil-smelling water, along whose
horde sat huge bullfrogs chant
ing their hoarse and mournful re
frain. They saw a light between
the tall trees ahead. Vilak halted.
"Step softly as you can," he said
to his companion.
They creft forward stealthily
over the soil made into a veritable
cimhlon by' tho leaf mould of cen
turies. As they went on they saw
that the light was the light of a
fire, around which two shadows
were moving. They reached the
edge of a small clearing and look
ed from hehlnd the shelter of a
tree.
Now they could see plainly tho
two shadows; they were Pasquale
Branza of tho patched cheek and
u ....n.orninrt Tipttn Cicerone. On
the ground lay a third man, the
.imnknn Indian they had noticed
going up the road. He was truss
ed with ropes like a wild beast just
captured and made ready for ship

arms wore tied flatly behind his

tremity of their victim's body that
the two Italians -were bikuu....,,

gnese or Indian dialect, IMto
holding In his one good arm a Blink
with a Klowltut ember at the end
which he had rrawn frem the fire

He gazed at the prostrate Indian
a mom-nt, grunted, then pressed
the rel ember against the victims
sole. Though the Indian was
bound a- in a vlso the horror
struck old man coul
body quiver with agony; the shirt
over his mouth twitched convul
sively as he vainly tried to express
that agony In a cry. After leaving
the ember against tho other foot
for perhaps five seconds .I'"0
withdrew 11 and put it ba-k luto
Uie flame to be repeated. Theu he
3en Locien Burmon
removed the gag, and with his
hand at the other's mouth ready to
check any call for lu'lp, begun
growling u rupiu series ot quuauous
at him.
The Indian's answers wero evi
dently not satisfactory, for after
several menaces with the hot coals
again, he at length whistled a curse
through the ugly orifice id his
teeth, replaced the gug and lifted
the glowing stick to the Indian's
foot once more, this lime directing

" anuie.
ihe algul was loo much tor me
old man's tense nerves, ilu gave
an exclamation of horror. Vilak,
forced to act before he was ready,
leaped from tho darkness. The
astonished Detto dropped Uie burn
ing stick and, turning, saw the tall,
lean figure of tho American. He
whipped out a stiletto tucked in his
belt and, as the other bounded ou
top of him, struck wildly. .
Vilak hud caught the shoulder
which lacked uu arm and thus gave
him no hold. The stiletto struck
him full in the wrist, weakening
his grip for an liiBtant. But it was
for this liiBtant that the wiry Ital
ian had hoped. Wrluggllng away
from his attacker, ho struck at him
agaiu, but ineffectively this time,
uud darted for the sholtor of the
woods.
Vilak took quick aim and fired.
But tho darkness beyond the uuige
of the fire mude accurate shooting
impossible. The bullet crashed to
the lower hanging branches of the
trees, and whether it hud found its
mark or not he could not tell. Pus
quale, who had seen the chemist
bursting excitedly, through tho
bushes, evidently believing they
were attacked in force, had :fled
! ignomUtlouuly, without lifting
hand to aid his comrade,
"God, what cruelty!" Vilak mur-
inured as he whipped out a knife
land with his bleeding hand cut'tho
I Indian free. He took out a small
j first ttld kit and put some salve on
the aborigine's burned
sole, then j
looked ut his own arm.
The blood
was coursing faster.
"You'ro wounded, er badly," the
old man panted In alurm. "It's
my fault, too, er my fault, if
I hadn't cried out he wouldn't have

REFLECTS SPIRIT
The arrival of Dodgo Brothers
keenly anticipated six has swung
the spot light of Interest in the
direction of the salesroom where,
tradition tells us, Uie word "de
pendable" was given popular coin
ago. There It remains focussed,
for the new six, Uie senior, re
veals much that absorbs the atten
tion and much also thai creates
surprise.
New cars and new models are
constantly rolling over file horizon,
but a six arriving from the Dodge
laboratories carries Its own pecu
liar news value. There are. of

of twelve successful years during
which nearly two million curs were

does It look? Is there a note of
conservatism In Its appearance? Or

Pope, one ot the foremost technical
editors In the country, hits it oft
well whon he says In Automobile
Topics: "Dodge Brothers Senior is
a distinctive embodiment of the

HANSEN CHEVROLET CO.
Testing Times
ON a levee at a bend in the Mississippi a
thousand men were building with sand-bags
a second-line defense against rising waters which
threatened hundreds of miles of fertile cropland.
Over a telephone, housed in a wooden box nailed
to a tree, an engineer was talking to headquarters
reporting on the progress of the work, asking for
reinforcements and additional material, receiv
ing Weather Bureau forecasts which would be
vitally important to Jiim in planning the strategy
of this grim battle for lives and property.
The telephone had beqn put in service but a few
minutes before, after a construction crew had
worked from sunrise to sunset, oflcn waist-deep in
swamp water, to string fifteen miles of line to this
isolated outpost.
Such is telephone service in an emergency scrv- .
ice in which telephone men and women do very
much the same things they do every day of their
lives, but do them under conditions that give vivid
emphasis to (he import of their efficiency, devo
tion, and fidelity to public interests.
In such crises, when even the mast commonplace
of rails may become a mailer of life or death, the
public realizes ils rlay-by-day dependence uihii
the telephone and upon the men and women who
make of it on instrumentality of human service.
