But at that I knew they were not all going north, for Orville is south of East Independence. Finally my sun pal paid his lust respects and sunk from view. Then a litle blue bird (you know how fond I am of blue birds, don’t you?) counted the re mainder of the ties with me. Of course it took a little imagination to find ttie blue bird, but by this time, I liked sentiment and im agination beter than facts. Finally I turned the curve and the Orville jKiwer plant stood out like a light house in the fog. At the boarding car, doors were opened and all eyes turned in my direction. When I arrived, at the station, the agent seemed very hospitable. Of course you can't travel without usking questions. So I began something like the lady who asks "what time ihe 3 oclock train leaves?” ; "What time does the 4 o’clock train get here, etc”. By asking questions I gained the information thut the bus had just left. The ugent thought I could out-walk any walker that ever walked, and that if I could •.calk that fast it was hardly worth while to wait two hours for the next bus; that I could soon be home. I «old him it was "Thrift week" and 1 didn't want to be so tiard on shoe leather and that my heels were pret ty high at that. He said I ought to be presented with a life membership with the Mazamas. I said: “ I’ll phone for someone to come for me.” He said: “ You can’t, because this is a private line and you can only get O. E. stations. The only way you can phone is to walk to a farm house." The mighty roar of the big power engines made a fellow guess it where he was, Orville or Niagara Falls; that is if you closed your eyes. With open eyes you could iiiake a quick decision. The station agent, tho eager to make me com fortable, I could see was a little aispicious. I guess because I did- rt bemoan my fate. I had a hunch he thought I was some kind of a “spotter”, detective or something. With his diminutive mustache "trembling on his lips" he asked if I were an employee of Uncle Sam. I assured him I was merely a neice of Uncle Sam—and nothing more. Then he thought I was getting thesis for a detective story. I told him I never could ravel nor unravel the threads of a detective story, or crook stories, but still he thought I was gathering material for a story and I insisted that I couldn't even write a romance of pathos and love which tug the heart strings. To make things more cheerful, lie said, “Well, a man died of the. flu in this station just a year ago." 1 said, "Well, the flu has flown and I don’t think it kvill fly back to play a re turn engagement, do you?" He said, “You must be a Christian Scientist.” I said. "Well, these un: pleasant suggestions never help a fellow any." Then he was sure I was a “healer." I told him I was neither a healer nor a spiritualist; that I knew nothing of “psychic vi- brations;” that I couldn't even in troduce mystic, nor reincarnate eld erly maiden women with youth; that I couldn't tell how the spirits were working, tho I was a descend ant of the great light of justice that (Continued in Section Two.)

THE SUPERSTITION OT THE BLACK CAT From the Portland Oregonian) Has a black cat ever crossed your path? Whut a terrible sentation follow ed when it did and for weeks every time something went wrong at home or there was a business .re verse, the poor kitty came in for all the bhirne. It was bac,k in the 16th century, according to a learned historian of Rhode Island, that the superstition of the black cat fable was introduc ed. A clergyman was returning from his church after the Sunday evening service and he carried with him ttie day’s offering of the con gregation. A black cat darted in front of him without warning, and as the story goes, ten steps later he was felled when a heartless bandit attacked him. The victim was rob- lied und the ussailaut fled. And all of this was attributed to the act of the harmless feline.
