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

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

"Well, the flu has flown and I don’t

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

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.
