naar tbalr present home for which they
paid eight dollars a month. That little

D. Regal, aa bo signs himself,
knew oven though Mra. Regal should
always remain young, age tome day
would mark him tor bar own.
How to spend the declining <laya of
tbalr livea waa the question that con
fronted the actor». They knew they
could not alwaya keep up the terrific
pace that the vaudeville stags calle for.
And thua it waa they reflected upon
the future aa they apont their summer
vacation and rested up in that little
hillaido houae. Winter again found
the Regala traveling the vaudeville cir

on the street Mr. M. Kronenlterg, who
also liver out near Jenne.
Mutual
greeting» were exchnnged and Mr.
Kronenberg wanted to know what
brought the playera back to Portland.
Mr. Regal informed him bluntly that
he came back to buy that acre of land
that lie» between the creek ami Jenne
station. Kronenberg smiled an I ahook
hia head. The fact waa that Regal had
tried to drive a bargain for that acre
the summer before, but Kronenberg
waa not to be tempted. To cut off that
acre of bottom land would spoil hia
forty. Thia waa in the daya before the
division of large tract» waa considered
advieable. Then Regal added aa an in
ducement that he would give Kronen
berg the job of building the honee on
that acre. The bargain waa a truck.
The price waa four hundred dollara.
One hundred dollara waa paid down
and notea given for the feat.
Under Regal’s watchful eyee the
