Mrs. Rose died juat after the wagon train reached tlie territory west of the Cascades, and was buried near the Columbia river east of Portland. Mr. Rose settled near Salem, and for a number of years lived there, then moved into the L'mpqua when his daughter was in her teens. The family settled near tho present site of Canyonville, and here Mary iioso met John Jackson. Later, In IStil, she became Mrs. Jackson, and since that time has made her home in southern Douglas county. Mrs. Jackson has one brother liv ing, the eldest son of her lather's family, and he still resides in Roseburg, being Randolph G.

Ken was pale to the lips as he gently loosed her clasp His eyes avoided her own went far out to fasten on a red oil tanker nos ing Its way out the Gate. He snoke slowly, ns though he had difficulty muting ine words. "I'm so damned miserable, Ar deth. I don't know how to say this. I've been thinking going over and over last night in my mind until I'm nearly crazy. See ing you last night with Tom sort of opened my eyes. He he likes you, Tom does. I feel oh, I feel like a dog in the manger " "Why?" her stiff lips would hardly form the word. "To keep you from from other fellows." "Oh." Her hands were clasped so tightly that the knuckles were bloodless. "Oh ..." He turned on her with a sort of angry wlldness. "No! you must not think that! That I don't care! i nere s notntn? 1 wouldn t go tnrougn lor you! Id marry you tomorrow but there is mother. I can't break her heart.

"Oh darling she was fumb line for his hand. "Is that all': Wait oh for a hundred years! Any time. Ken. so It conies right for us in the end! I thought oh. I thought you difln t want me. ' "Want you."

"We'll make thiucs come right, Moth." They parted on that note. Days merged into weeks. Au tumn Into winter. Ardeth felt that she moved through a dream. She was holding her breath lest she wake. The shop filled her dayB, for Jeanette was becoming bored with her new toy. It was only the gos sip of tlie Bmokcrle which brought Jesnetle down each day. It. was Ardeth who did the real work of the store; not only selling now but buying Rending out the bills and the checks at each end of the month. In the evenings there Were' lit tle inexpensive dinners with Ken There were long rides down the hlghwav through the crisp, star filled nights. 'When Ken could not be with her she stayed quietly In her own room, Ronietinies rending, more often sewing on some filmy pink trifle which later woul-i be laid away In the bottom bureau drawer. A steadily growing stack of dainty underthings were here. Some nights Ardeth would sit back on her heels, eyes like stars, while she lifted the tissue paper and gloated over them. The beginnings of her modest trousseau .... It seemed. In some mysterious way. to hasten the time when she and Keu could be married. Now and I hen a note of dogged hope In his voice. Tom Corbett phoned and asked her to go out with him to dinner to a siiow. lienlie finality in her refusal. She almost gloried in this chance lo show her loyalty to Ken. lteier to stay alone like tills. Ill the quiet little room perched high above the city, than to go out with someone else. Thre was comfort In the thoucht. It was. she thought de fiantly, ns though she were earn ing the right to her happiness. On a day when mln lashed Grunt avenue ami niachltieR slid raiiilonsly t-.- the glass-panelled front door of The t'anrice. Tom Corbett entered the shop. From the stnokerle cinie the voices of Cccile and .leanette and .he Insolent caress of Cyril Under bill's drawl. Tom scowled and carefully avoided the open door way. Me disliked the smokerie. Walking over to Ardeth. and speaking cautiously in a low voice, he rccarded his gray felt hat. stained black and shapeless by moisture. "KAIning cats ami .logs. Good thing, thoueh.
