This part of the story is told with much force and :rnth to life. With the opening of the latter half of "The Man Hater" it is at once seen that Phemie has made an ?xcellent bargain materially for her- elf and Anna. Joe Is a steady, well-to-do, open hearted chap, and oves her devotedly. Finding that ?he will not respond to his feelings Tor her, he conceives the Idea of try ng to arouse her Jealousy. To that nil he Invents a rival and writes himself letters from a mythical Lucy. The way things turn out is easily foreseen. A real Lucy, In the per ion of an old sweetheart of his comes back to town a widow, and Phemie 'inds that if there can be no love without Jealousy there can also be ao jealousy without love. Most spectators will enjoy the Uory Immensely. It has the touches of character and tho nice sense of humor that give it real value, and It is capitally acted and produced. Winifred Allen presents a near-to-aature Impersonation of Phemie, and makes her a distinct type.

This 'icure is that or Howard Bradley, lorn amid circumstances which tend o make Ills whole life one dark shadow, Howard rose into sturdy iKi ii hood unconscious of the blot ipon his life.

Suddenly confronted with the secret f his birth. Howard i o ermatered y that Fame terrific passion of hate which dominated the so;;l of his mother just prior to his birth. L'n llile to restrain himself, Howard se cured a pistol, and in a blinding rain storm he goes out to meet the man whom he had never known as a fath "i.

Have started to write you several times but some thing always turns up so I can't fin ish, so will try it again now. Was sorry to hear that mother and Elic had been sick. I got a letter from Lester saying he belonged to the home guards. It don't seem he Ib old enough because when I think of him I remember him as a little boy when I last saw him. Will an swer Pauline's letter. If you think best you can give it to her or if you think she would tvorry more don't let her have It. I have thought so many times I would write and then thinking she would only worry all the more I would not write. Well. I can't tell you anything about the Bhlp or what we are doing so it makos It hard to write a letter. We are allowed only two sheets of paper and only one side. Well, I did not get the cigars you sent iae so I guess they must have got lost. If you have not sent them yet, send them by insured mail. I would like to send you all something but it would be hard for me to do that. However, when I get to go ashore I will see what I can find. If von know of any Red Cross workers or other aid society workers for army and navy who are knitting sweaters, give them my address for a lot of tho boys are getting them here. We ,-t them from the ship's store but thjy are not as good. I think I will get to go ashore Christmas, but am not sure. If 1 do I will be sure to get some ures. Will write to all soon, close now with love for all. .As ever, VANDREW L. LARM W. A. Dalziel, formerly of La Grande, deputy labor inspector, has announced his candidacy for state la bor commissioner.

One of the most important conferences in the history of the Northwest League is in session today, with the gathering of the directors. tAs a result of the havoc war played with the league last year, the circuit will be much different the coming season.

The question of whether Portland ; or Vancouver is entitled to the nick- ! name "Beavers" will also come up. ! There "will be some special changes ' necessary in the circuit arrangements as a result of Portland again enter ing the league.
