The story of the picture appearing at the Arcade tonight only: Jim Grimsby is a mountaineer of the gold country with a chronic grouch. He had married eighteen years previously for the purpose of rearing a son to whom he could teach his own peculiar ways, and who should become his boon companion. His wife died, leaving him with a girl baby, which completely soured his spirits. He named the child iBill, and brought her up as masculine as pos sible, dressing her as a boy, in over- Used j Automobiles j At a Fraction Of Their Origin- J al Price J MITCHELL, $250.00 OVERLAND $250.00 !

Bill is beginning to be useful around the house, and tries her best to win her father's love. She is aroused one day to her charms through the illustrations of pretty girls in a magazine, which she finds in the woods, and upon reaching home tries to arrango her hair according to the pictures represented in tho maga zine. She also makes a crude skirt. Her father shows opposition, but her spirit of defiance, inherited from her father, startles Grimsby, who desists in his attempt to cut off her hair. Grimsby reeds in the Goldville Nugget of Waldo Whittier, the new sheriff from tho East, and is seized with a desire to defy this college boy sheriff. Bill realizes that she is total ly ignorant informs her father of her intention to go to the county scat to : school, and asks for a bag of gold to buy proper clothes. Jler father re I fuses, and accuses her of murdering . her mother by being born.

He tells her she needs no money to go to school, but just some new clothes, and rides away. The next morning Bill starts for Goldville, but is intercepted by her father and returns to the hut. Grimsby prepares to go to Gold ville, and Bill is afraid of the out come. She tries to prevent his going, and talks with her eyes, but Grimsby leaves her and that night holds up the .Casino Dance hall, tacking a taunting threat to the sheriff on a pillar. He returns home and goes to bed. The sheriff returns to Goldville an hour later, hears of the hold-up and reads the notice, whereupon he sets out alone for tne mountaineers hut.

The gunboat is a (bad thing to got mixed up with, either on the end of a mad Swede's leg or at the point of issue in a naval engagement. 1 he gunboat inspires a great deal of respect, as a rule, by virtue of the kick it packs. Make all the fun you want to of the man who wears 'em; but don't get within range when you do it. 4 Sec. Daniels, I The Platinum Wedding Ring. "The platinum wedding ring is now the favorite," says Grace Margaret Gould in the June Woman's Home Companion. "In place of the plain gout circlet, there is the platinum ring delicately engraved, or it may have a half circle of diamonds for its setting.

GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME Once more it's with us, not in exactly overwhelming measure, but enough to once more gladden our old hearts. To us summer means so much, not only be cause it enables us to indulge our propensities for surf bathing, picnicking, camping, motor trips, etc., but also for the reason that Mother Earth now brings forth her increase. For 1917 the increase so far as the fruit crop is concerned promises to be an abund ant one. While "Beans and Bacon" may be staple necessities, they do not appeal to the taste as does luscious ripe fruit and new ffesh vegetables. Our mission during these lovely summer months is to sup ply you with the latter. Our plans for this are all arranged. Don't disappoint us on your orders we'll not disappoint you on the goods.
