Ually. vitiule inonlh. by mall CiAllv, by currier, per inunlli ; Who'n TalUing Depression? JUST who. Ih shouting utnl howl infl the moat about conditions now, and why? These questions apparently were puzling Prank Alley bo he set out on a Lour of personal Investlnalion around our city. A total of 14 people were inter viewed. An attempt was made to tails Willi people of different call lugs so that a genuine cross sec tion of public, thinking nnd talking gfiuld be had. ' Of the total nunilier, five weio laboring men who were out of work at the lime they were inter viewed. Not oue of the five made any great complaint. They had had a pretty hard time, they salil, tilt were optimistic about Hie ht tnre and wore, withal, reasonably content. The spirit of optimism fllid courage lliey displayed was en couraging, Mr. Alley said. I, The oilier 39, however, were less optlmlBllc. A few heads of husl iess were Interviewed but for the iiSost part tUis 3D represented men (Hi Salary store salespeople, coun ty officials and olliers whose sal aries are the same now as for Ihe past" two years. Without excep tion, this eroup of people wore talking "hard times" expressing fear of the future and were very pesHlmiHlie. .'. Why? Kor no real reason at all. Their salaries are thu same uow as before. They have no real fear of being dieharged or being laid off. In addition, living coins have decreased approximately ten per tent according to figures recently released from the department of commerce. And yet, many of these people openly stated that lliey were practicing rigid economy and were not making purchases which they wanted to make and normally jvoulil make. Perhaps here we have an ex ample of one of the reasons why there Is a slackening or business. Mr. Alley talked to llll average representative people who could ifloril to go right ahead and who bad noihlng In rear yet they were talking about the "lelllllr depres Hon" and were curtailing Iholr nor inal expeuditures. " There are, of course, underlying economic reasons which account for the fact Unit in most lines busluess Is not eutlrely satlstac tory. Talk alone will mil cine these ills. Const ruclivf ihinUIni: and couslruclive acting will cure ,theni. Talk, however, and talk HUe that reported by Mr. Alley, by pro pie who have no leal reason to complain, will make It all the hard er for conditions to return to a scinhluticc or prosperity. .

After all, Ibis world is not so hig and wide hut that wo oil en run across peo ple we know and familiar plants in unexpected places. Por several years I have had this line fern growing in my yard. My Ill-si plant was biought to me by a filend, who hud taken a division l'i-rim ii U'wl,t..,i.,li,. 1I...1 had been growing In her yard fori more than twenty years, having' hon brought from tile woods near liillaid by a well known pioneer woman of that locallly.

Prom tills plant I made several dlvisiuus. And this leiu was located just over the front yard fence of a mountain farm home so very near Uoseburg that it will have to remain a secret.

Mary rag ed to Tom when they had left and I were driving down the grade In the quiut evening light. "But what can I do? She's of age and in ber right mind, though she doesn't act it!" After a moment ol si lence she burst out vigorously: "And moreover, she's dead- right! I'd do the same thing if It were Fred lying there in Ken Gleason's place. But Mary's generous opinion, or the world's spiteful one, made little difference after all to Ardeth. Tranquil days and deep, star filled nights, each one bringing returning strength to Ken. Little by little reality pushed in upon him once more. He watched the girl moving about the room and his mind groped back over the past days. Something like terror came into his eyes. It's all wrong, dear," he said slowly. "Oh, you shouldn't have done this! What will people what will everyone say? And ' his thin hands moved nervously. 1 can t make it right for you. Ardeth had been sitting by the window shelling peas for dinner. She ruse and came over to his side. She held his head against her breast, kissed bis closed eyes. It's all right now," she said softly. "It's only wrong when w e're apart, Ken." lown In the eity the affair created a large ripple of excited gossip. The Spy seized upon it eagerly and carried an insinuating article blistering with m mi end 03. Cecile was furious with anger. She did not love Ken but she had no intention that another womau should have him. She put on the role of the outraged wife and spite sharpened her tongue. "That is tbe woman who ruined my married life!" sh stated dra matically, her green-blue eyes flashing hatred. "Ken has been carrying on this affair all these years that is really why I left him--" From lip to lip It went, repeat ed avidly, hurting those who loved ihe girl. Hurting loyal Tom and Mary; making little Ah-Llng's black eyes Hash with rage. Ali-Ling that curious link In the chain of circumstances. The link Cecile had never considered. And Cecile had fo:golten. too. that when a link is worn too thin it will snap. I'pou Tom had fallen the task of closing the simp and selling the stock which still remained. The small store was haunted with iTiemorips iai' him MeinnrlRS of quiet evenings w hen he had I called ou Ardeth, remembering the sunlight on her hair the first day w lie 11 she had bought the shop from Jeanette. The memory of that first day when he had come in here with Ken and had seen her. a vivid and lovely child iu black. As though some one had died working here in this still place w hich would never know Ardeth again. What would life do to her he wondered, now that she had so carelessly defied it? Somber days, when he dismantled the place, quietly helped by little Ah-Ling. Had Tom been less concerned witli his own unhappy thoughts he w mild have seen that the little Chinese girl was fighting a mcutal bat He. Put not until the last day, when Tom was checking over the last of he accounts, was Ah-Ling's bat tle lost or won. On that day the spiteful article in The Spy appeared and the Chinese girl bad learned of it by the curious wireless by which scandal travels. 'Com was silling at ihe cash desk, figuring, when be heard his name called. Ah-Ling stood before him. a small figure ot jade in her green brocaded t rousers and coat. and she was laboring under intense excitement. She shook a copy of The Spy al Tom. "Have you seen this?

"Weill . . . . never mind, Ah-Ling. There are always rats in the world, you know." The slant black eye flashed. "There should be rat catchers to catch thoee rats." She caught bur breath, suddenly blurted out, "Do you know who is this spy?" Tom's eye went wide with amazement at what he read lo her face. "You know?" "Cyril Underbill!" Tom's hand va lying on the desk and it crumpled, into a broad, freckled list. "How do you know that, Ah Ling?" "My cousin Lee, ho ic the cook for Mr. Underbill. He knows much of the private affairs of this ; gentleman." Ah-Ling's lip curled. I "Did you notice this this sort1 of hatred with which he writes?) Do you wonder why that hatred j is there, Mr. Corbett?" The words! were pouring from her lips in a: frightened torrent. T will tell i you. It is because Mrs. (ileasou , hates Miss Carroll. She has great ; influence with The Spy has Mrs. Gleason. She is often a visitor at Mr. Underbill's apartment. A very, favorite visitor-" she tinished in sinuatingly. "You mean " Kosie Ling's face was red, but site was valiant. "A Chinese boy about an apart ment sees much, Mr. Corbett. And Chinese tell little to white people. But I know much that Mrs. Gleason does not think I know. Much that it would worry her to guess 1 know. And Miss Carroll was always kind to me." Tom's face was very serious. He got up and walked over to the girl to stand looking down into the small, intense face. "You mean, Ah-Ling, that that you want me to believe that Mrs. Gleason has been paying indiscreet visits to Mr. Underbill's apart ment?" Tom's conventional tongue found difficulty in finding fitting words. Ah-LIng looked frightened, but she stuck stoutly by her guns. Her face was poppy red. "Would you call a visit of of several days when she is supposed to be down south indiscreet, Mr. Corbett?" "My . . . gosh " breathed Tom. fervently. Then, with mounting anger. "And the dirty little cat had the Indecency to speak that way of Ardeth " "That's why I tell you!" Ah Ling's voice broke and her face was working. She has always been so good to me, Miss Carroll has. So gentle. And they they tear her to pieces now!" "Bully for you!" Tom exploded. "I do not like to make trouble," Ah-Ling explained earnestly. "My cousin Lee will be very angry that I have spilled the beans. But there are times when one must spill the beans. Isn't that right, Mr. Corbett?" "Right as rain!" "And " the girl went on breathlessly, "Mrs. Gleason is bad at heart and Miss Carroll is always kind. It is not good that the good should suffer for the bad. And I am telling this to you because you will know what to do. 1 will slick lo it. Mr. Corbett. And if you j make him. my cousin Lee, he will have to 1 ell the truth even; though he will be very angry at! me. Put I'm doing it for Miss Car-1 mil. I don't care it it will helpj her" ; Ah-Llug had begun to cry. She, pulled her beret bard down on her head and groped her w ay out of j the front door. 1 Tom was overwhelmed hy the knowledge so astonishingly banded to him. His first feeling was blind rage at Cecile and Cyril Underbill.' In his fancy he was crashing his fist full into the sneering face of j the mau. But his usual cool judgment quickly followed on the heels of this. Wouldn't do. just to raise a row get the thing into the dally papers that wouldn't be so clev er.
