A NNOUNCKMENT of tho oiioii
Ing of llio now bus tornilnul in
our neighboring city, liusuuc, fur
ther ciiIIh attention to tbe terribly
poor raolllllen wo lmvo buro. Ap
parently tbe bua company in tak
ing at least Homo uilvuntaKo of tbe
fact that we havo no other through
passenger trnnstiorlntlon and there
fore musl take what thoy choose to
give tin.
Good facilities have boon pro
vided In inot of tho other cities:
Salem, Eugene, Albany, Corvnllis,
Grants Pass and Medford all have
terminals where passengers may
leave or board tbe buses under
cover.
Ill Roseburg tho city street 1h
the terminal so far as loading
and unloading Ib concerned,
In fact that portion nf Washing
ton street between Main and Jack
son s almost useless ns a street
when the buses uro tburt which is
several times eucl) day and that
block In an Important link In our
city street systuin.
liown through tho years rumors
and reports havo flouted about
from time to time that new term
inal facilities were going to be pro
vided for bus patrons. Hut noth
ing over actually happened. Tliure
is even now talk of something to
be done, though where It Is to be
or when, Is not definitely staled.
Meanwhile bus passengers stand
out in tho rain, their feet In lit
tle pools of water mi tbe sldcwulks.
waiting to get aboard-or to bid
farewell to friends or relatives who
aro leaving.
Meanwhile, loo, tho street mid
sldowalk aro monopolized by the
transportation company.
Private auto parking In our down
town area Is always something of
a problem, yot one ontlro block is
restricted to tho uso of the
buses,
Obviously wo want anil need the
truiiHporlutlon service provided by
Mill bus cpmpuny. We hop! to hco
the company prosper and In pros
pering, Improve its service. Hut
at present the siiuatinn Is bo un
satisfactory hero that It cannot
bo endured much longer without
something being done to relieve
It. particularly with reference to
tliu parking and traffic problem.

"YF our friends ut homo cuuld see
.1 us now, they'd KNOW we aro
nuts," blithely staled Die Family,
as wo braced ourselves Into tbe
fuce of the driving
mlsL at tho beach
yeslerday morning.
Tho w1 n d wasn't
blowing a galo; hut
II WAS lilowln;!. The
preclplliitlou couldn't
ho called a rain; hut
It was flattering it a
trifle to raine it a mist. While the
lumporniurc wasn't exactly Irigld,
It could have w aimed up about
thirty degrees, mid been more com
fortable. ...
It wasn't as chilly at Unit iui it
wus liut'H tho oilier morning, In
Koseburg. ".My gootness," said
Esther l jeldseth to a friend in the
Coffee Shop, "it s coil outdoors.
Don't go out it vlll fj-coze your
everyt'ings."
However, taking It by and large,
wo couldn't remember whon we'd
hud a moro pleasuni day over
there. H'b extremely uxhljleracing
lo siriko out over Ihe dunes, witn
tho sally wind blowing In your
teeth, anil plow your way uphill,
and toboggan down, or go leaping
Willi gigantic strides, until you are
comfortably llred.
If a fuiiow could do a bit of lhat
each day, II soon would make u
new man out of him.
The Scotch broom Is blossoming.
My w lie commenced nolicing oc
casional blooms below CI k I on; and
when we reached thai portion of
Iho cnasl highway north of Tull
kenilcli lake, which is bordered lor
miles by luxuriant growths of
broom, whole shrubs would be in
rull blossom, a mellow, gorgeous
golden glow against the soft, dark
green background of their more
backward brelhrcn's follugo,
We ale our lunch near the break
ers at tbe mouth of Slllcoos out
let. Then later, al the start of our
biku through Ihe dunes, we hud all
uuexpeeleil, and surprisingly good.

CAPTAIN HLHUr r is van lias-

young French agent sweetheart of
the real llromlitz.
CHAPTKR V
Schroff left the room to return
III a moment with a young woman.
Ignoring Van Hassek she rushed
up to Denning and threw her arms
around his neck and kissed him
ardently on tho mouth.
Chore! she exclalmen. . on.
but Henri, I couldn't wait for you
to send for me! My uncle gave
mo a ticket to Vora Crua und here
am!"
llonulnir coldly received the
caress. ' Ho saw that she was
French, undoubtedly tbe French
operutive, Lucette Ducoa, who had
been HioinHtz undoing, she was
small, trim, and had n doll-like
face, but with un intelligence in
her large blue eyes that set hot
apart from tho doll variety.
A glance gavo Henning his ap
praisal. A girl to turn any man's
head, and he understood ut once
llromlitz' mad infatuation for the
girl. Me felt a stir of revolt at
the thought of an ally from the
French secret service, but prompt
ly remembered tbut he bud a role
to play.
You shouldn't have come here
this way, Lucetto," ho cooly told
her.
"I've u man's role to play here
and it's no place for a woman."
Van Hansel; cume from behind
bis desk to Intervene. He took
the French girl's elbows In his
chubby huuda and bis voice was
Ingratiating.
'Mademoiselle, uow that your
Identity bus been established to
our sutlsfuctlon.. you're -welcome
In. Mexico. If your jrleitde doesn't

"Mademoiselle,, now that your

flabby red neck and kissed him on
his cheek. Then she turned to
Henning, linked her arm in his and
gleefully look him out of the room.
In the street Helming culled a tuxi
cab and drove to tho Alameda,
where he picked out a seat under a
shady cypress,
'What is It you want bore, inade
ninisclle?" he bluntly deiuunded.
"Information," she replied crisp
iy. 'Naturally, my government
sent me."
"I shuuld have guessed they bad
something like this in mind," be
complained. "Hut why do you
wish yourself off on me?"
"Thero aro excellent reasons,"
she uuswered, regarding him with
a level smile, 'For one thing we
are both after the same informa
tion and ought lo be able to help
each other."
Henning had decided that inev
itably he must accept the French
girl as nn ussoclute. since lie was
already in the pulm of her hand if
by caprice or stupidity she be
trayed his masquerade.
- "I ll be glad to give you advant
age of anything I may lenni," he
told her. "Hut of course we must
work separately."
"As you please." she -agreed,
and puid with unabashed flunk
ness. "but at least we'll have to
live together."
Henning demanded, "Why do
you propose that?"
"For two reasons. First, Van
Hassek thinks I'm your mistress
and I want him to continue think
ing llial, for Hie lime being, at
least."
"Your second reason?"
"Thai," she said looking at
him again with her level smile,
"is tnV important one In you.
Ilnuuliu escaped ' rrom Vlneeniies

vera cniz.
Henning sat glnrlng while bis
mind swept to un eslimute of that
calamity.
"Don't Illume my government,"
Mile. Duma spoke up at once. "It
was wholly the fault of a stupid
secretary from your embassy who
was sent to the fort to interview
Hroiulits. An hour after he left,
a guard found your secretary
hound In llromlitz' cell, llromlitz
hstl escaped In the secretary's
clothes und spectacles.".
"You've no doubt Uromlltz will
make his way to Mexico?"
Mile. Ducos smiled unconcern
edly. Not the lca.it Hut now
that we understand each other,
monster, let's find a pim-c to live.
Tonight I'd llko to have you take
me to the Aveuldu Uldalto to
dine and dunce."
On reporting at the palare next
morning, Henning was steeled by
a new determination. Ho meant
to pluy whatever risks were neces
sary promptly to close his mission

showing the present location of
Units. He paused in front of the
ma only long enough to fix Its
details In hs memory. Later ne
was able to reproduce details on
an ordinary map of Mexico.
An estimate of strength based on
Van Hassek's tables of organiza
tion, which wore readily available
to him, confirmed a total of 200,
000 combat troops. Engineers, la
bor and line of communication
troops were largely Mexican, thus
leaving the whole European force
free to strike.
With Mile. Ducos he hud stillck
a bargain. 8he was to keep
strictly away from headquarters.
He (promised, lier any pertinent
Information he picked up and al
lotted her tbe task of checking
on the air service. Also she was
to keep on the 'ulert for any can
cellation of military leaves to
Mexico City, which would be a sig
nificant development.
They Bet up together in an Inex
pensive suite on Jesus i Maria.
When they wero alono in their
aiiurlmont, Mile, Ducos' attitude
waa one of a purely professional
associate Hut when they were to
gether In public during evenings
thai followed, she kept up the
ruso of a romantio attachment.
They had gone to tho Avenida
Hidalgo for dinner one cvoning
when the French girl's covort flir
tation with a bald-hended Italian
officer in a colonel's uniform
brought from Henning a sharp re
buke. "Doesn't it strike you a bit In
consistent, mr-Jdemolselie," he
chargod, "for you to poso as my
fiancee and ut the same time flirt
behind my buck while we're dnnc
Ing together? We agreed that
you were to limit yourself ut pres
ent to finding out about Van Has
sek s air service.
She looked up ut blin and smiled
us they danced, then put her Hps
closo to bis ear and spolto In a
low voice.
"Would It interest you, nion
sler, to know that I have learned
most of what we wish to know?
Van Hassek's air buses are locat
ed in Tamaullpus, and be has a
total of more thuu u thousand
planes, with more coming by ship
in the near future. Colonel Bog
gio, If you will take the trouble
to study his Insignia, Is an offic
er of the air service."
Henning searched her face and
demanded, "Hogglo told you that?"
Hoggio nas ton) me a great deal
in tho past few days," sbe an
swered. "I have."
The orchestra brought their
dunce to an end. Mile. Ducos end
ed her scntonce in a -) harmless
platitude,-.- They ;went buck, to
their tabler .- '- :
"Now please, monsieur, may I
bring Colonel Hoggio over and in
troduce him?" she pleaded. "I
promised him a dance this eve
ning and we can t afford to leave
him dangling."
Van Hassek's air colonel was
thin, beakish, and cadaverous,
with a shining bald head und glist
ening little black eyes. In his
youtli he might have been hand
some, but there was nothing ro
mantic left In his appearance. He
attempted a iiollto restraint to
ward the French girl in Uen
ning's presence, but Uenning saw
the H'llian was running a tem
perature over her. llogglo went
to the lioor with Mile Ducos at
once to dunce.
"How do you know this Isn't
some ruse some trick?" Henning
conlronted hor when they were
alone. "Why 'should a trusted of
ficer betray such secrets to you
or anyone else. Mademoiselle?"
alio nareil back: "Don t , you
crodit me with knowing what I'm
about, monsieur?"
"I ulso credit nogglo with or
dinary discretion in matters of
such Importance," be retorted.
"Under what clrcimst.mces did he
on you oi van itasseks air
bases?
Mile. Ducos sat down and
coin smile replaced the resentment
in tier eyes.
"For several days nast. mon
sieur. Colonel Hoggin and I huve
been r.oing about t' o city while

"Do you understand, mademolx.

She shrugged her soldiers and
said with a touch of annoyance:

Papooses Lose To
Medford, 20 to 18
Rottburg BaskttMrt Get 18
Pre Toisei at Basket
But Convert Only Few.
The Roseburg Junior high school
basketball team suffered its first
defeat of the season when It was
nosed out, 20 to 18, by Medford In
a wild, rough and ragged contest
played Saturday night on the local
court. An overflow crowd which
jammed every seat and all avail
able apace witnessed the heart
breaking dej at, The Medford Bull
dogs led 12 lo 10 at half time,
Referee Waldo Campbell meted
out 25 personal, fouls during the
torrid mix, 18 on tbe visitors who
lost three players via the 4-persou-
al route. One Roseburg piuyer was
relegated to the sidelines for too
many violations.
It was in the foul shooting de
partment that the Papooses really
allowed themselves to be defouted,
Coach Hod Turner's charges lost
by two points, yet during the con
test had J8 chances on tho free
throw line and converted but four.
Had the local youngsters shown
any consistency at ull on tho char
ity toss lane, the game would have
ended differently.
Denny Best Scorer.
High scoring honors went to Ger
ald Denny, Papooso center, with 7
points. Dtpple was high lor Med
ford with 6. Neal Schilmpf, only
Papoose leltormcn, playing his first
game for the locals this season,
turned in a nice game on the floor
and garnered five markers.
he first half was bitterly
fought. Medford scorod first on n
converted foul by Dipple, but Rosa.
burg came back quickly on baskets
by Schrlmpf and Denny to tuke u
lead winch tney maintained dur
ing the qunrter which ended 8-6
In Its favor. The score waa tied
three times In the first period
3-3. 4-1, 6-6 and onco ill Ihe sec
ond ennto 10 to 10. A basket by
Dipple just before tho half ended
gave the Uulldoga a half-time edge.
The Papoosescame back in tho
third period to deadlock the score
ut la-all on foul shots by Denny
and Schrlmpr, hut folded shortly
after io allow Medford to take a
l-liolnt lead, 1012, to slurt the final
quarter. Tho close checking visi
tors held the Papooses to the lone
foui conversions in tbe third period
nnd then went on to lengthen their
leail to eight points about midway
through tho final stanza before
Roseburg broke its scoring drought.
Final Rally Futile.
That desperate lust-minute rail
almost brought the Papooses vie
tory as King looped a 30-footer,
and Denny followed with a 15-foot,
er rrom the side. A short time
later Denny sneaked through Med
ford's tight defense to hole out a
set up to bring the locals within
two points und the crowd went
wild. Hut that basket was the best
Roseburg could do as Medford
tightened! its barrier around the,
basket.
Inexperience, pins ragged pass
lug and hall-handling, almost com
pletely nullified the potency of the
Papoose offense. Time after time
bad passes or sioppy floor work
allowed the visitors to Intercept
tho bull, ilowevor, the Papooses
made to In fight and spirit what
they lacked in fjnesso and tho
crowd enjoyed the gamo. The work

outstanding tor Medrord.
