BEAVER CREEK The rain of the last five days waB weloomed by most everyone and it was niuoh needed in this part of the county.

The army worms are doing some damage in this part of the conutry, Some ot tlie farmers around here plowed np the first crop of corn and replanted it on acconnt of the worms.

Giuseppe walled a second or two for the Sennas .to exclaim on his auspi cious declaration, then suddenly re alized that he was enjoying bis dls tlnctlon alone. They uttered not an approving or a congratulatory word. They stared ach at the other with lowering faces; then Paula sprang to her feet, her big, round, durk eyes Sashing. "Itulla! Italia forever!" she flung back at him with a wild gesture, while the look on her face stung Giuseppe to the heart Surprised and disappointed, he let big arm fall Blowly to his side. Ills Jaw dropped, and his body relaxed un til he bore the semhlunce of u very crestfallen American. He shrugged his shoulders and turned his sobered face toward Puula. ,"Theu you don't like America?" he said in a voice very soft, yet brimming with disappoint ment "I hute it! Oh, I am so homesick!" she cried, sinking Into a chnlr beside the table. She flung her arms out before her, and, lenulng forward, she commenced to sob. Her father and mother, vouchsafing a consoling word and giving her a loving pat or two as they went, left: the room to Join their neighbors on the already crowded doorsteps below, evidently expecting Giuseppe to comfort the girl after the manner of an approved fiance. "Paula," Giuseppe said, going over to her and touching her lightly on the Nhoulder-'Tnula, never mind. You have been here only two weeks, You will like It better after awhile. Look up and be happy. I huve come to take you for the boat ride, so dry your tears, little one. We will huve tho gain day together." I'nuln Senna shook his band from her shoulder petulantly. She raised ber head and looked at him defiantly. "You," she said In a voice bitter with disapproval "you an American for all time?" "Forever!" he repeated resolutely. "Why?" she demanded. "Because." he answered her calm ly, "America bus liberated me from the bondage of povorty. It has given me work and good wages, enough so I can make a little home for you and me. America offers me opportunities unlimited merely for the effort. Here In this beautiful country, Paula, I can work hard and make you n groat lady and myself a great niuu." But this Is the country only to make money In," she argued "That's all It Is good for. When you save a thousand dollars we could go hack to Itnly and live-live," sho finished, lift ing her beautiful eyes rapturously heavenward aa though seeing a vision of the happy, Irresponsible sunny land she had so shortly ago quitted. "And leave America, good America, with nil the beautiful possibilities!" exclaimed Giuseppe In consternation. "Mulberry street Isn't nil of America. Somo day we will have money and get out of this dirty, poor place some day Boon, Tauln. Then we will go to the beautiful parts. It Is, oh. so flno. away from Mulberry street!" Unconsciously he was fondling the tiny American flag which adorned the lapel of his coat. Tnula was watching him eurlly, whimsically. She disliked to see him wearing the bit of red, white and bluo. She would rather it were red, white and green, Italia s emblem. Tho longer she regarded It the more It displeased her until In a sudden flash of tomper she reached out a little brown hand, snatched it from lis plnce of honor aud crumpled It destructively. In nu Instant the hot blood leaped to Giuseppe's face. HU arms went rigid at bli sides, and he Instinctive ly clinched his fists. Paula!" he exclaimed in shocked injury. Itulla for mo!" she averred, tossing the despised flag back at him Indif ferently. "Ilou may stay In your Amerlcu If you wish. 1 shull not! Plotro Blneoute goes back to Italv next month," she added significantly. "Pletro Blnconte!" Giuseppe cried, stepping close to her and now furious. Tiotro," she repealed with a tan talizing nod. "And you love Blnconte?" he asked She hud not the slightest affection for Blnconte. She did. however, de light In teasing Giuseppe, it was such fun to make a man wild with jealousy She remulned silent, letting him Infer whatever his mad passion might prompt him to. But her coquetry was very short lived. Too angry to trust himself to remain longer with her. Giuseppe abruptly ' stalked from the room without so much as a look In her direction. Paula listened to his coarse, heavy shoes thumping down the stairs, and she leaned far out of the window and watched him make his way hastily along the street Then she looked down on her neat white dress, at ber pink ribbons and at ber new American hat with the sickening sensntlon that the great American day, the holiday when everybody was going some where, was a blank before her. and the tiny flat in which she lived was In sufferably hot and stuffy. How she wished she had not provoked Giuseppe and thnt he would come back! "And now?" Giuseppe asked himself i he hurried away, he didn't know or care where to. ino answer cnnie Yet in his bitterness of spirit the ab surdity of the incident brought a grim smile to bis Hps. The flag, the sym bol of all that which had made It pos sible for him to marry Pnuln. had started their quarrel. It was because of his becoming a citizen of the Unit ed States nnd displaying something more than the inanity of other mem bers of the gang with which tie work ed thnt the construction company had assigned to him some responsibilities. with a substantial Increase in his wages. How he had worked and saved! How wnoie place was covered witd red. white and blue. Oh, what a great place America was after all. And Giuseppe belonged to It now He was wearing one of those red. white and blue flags In bis buttonhole. Her pretty face grew hot as she gazed on the proud starBpaugled bnuner In multiplicity. She felt Its strength, Its power. She was nlinost afraid for what she had done. And the more she looked at It the better she liked It She commenced to hum a tune the band was playing. Plotro interrupted her with an exclumution of disap proval. "That's 'America,' " he said, a little sharply. "Don't learn those United States songs. There's no music In them. Come, Paula mhi; come over there with me, nnd we will sing our own beautiful music." He found an unoccupied corner on one side of the bont beside the slant ing roof of a big wheel, and they sang Italian melodies together for awhile as they Idly drifted past the beauti ful scenery. Then Pletro commenced to talk. What he had to say chiefly concerned his contemplated return to Italy and of how he desired to marry Paula nnd take her back with him. Be had money. He hud been engaged in the fruit business In America for some years and could now afford to go home and live In ease on a little furm In the province. 'I am betrothed to Giuseppe," pro tested Paula, with the homesick tears In ber eyes. "Ancona will never go back," Pletro replied: "neither will he save any money. He spends too much on the girls. He has been engaged to three within the past two years." lie. iookpd kpenlv Into Pnntn'n fqp Blnconte the while was persistently hpo-ctne ber to cast Giuseppe aside for aim. "We will be married tomorrow and sail for Italy the next day," he plead ed, holding Paula close to blm as they waltzed to a popular air, "Why so soon?" Paula asked, sur prised at bis eagerness to sail earlier than he had planned. Before Blnconte could reply there arose a. wild commotion all around them. They stopped dancing sudden ly, and at the extreme river end of the pier, frightened and wild eyed, they stared and wondered. The floor was giving way beneath their feet. The roof was falling In. Huge girders nnd pillars were toppling, and presently, amid terrifying cries and shouts of tne hundreds of persons, the entire structure bent, shook and sagged together In a horrible, destruc tive mass. Its grinding crash commin gling with the agonizing screams of those It crunched under its weight Simultaneously long tongues of Are sprang up, stretched out rolled and crept along, soon converting tbe ruin into a diabolical holocaust Only one avenue of escape was left for those not already caught and pinned down to certain death, a single narrow stair way near where Paula and Blnconte were, and In less time than It takes to tell that exit was blocked. Those ahead moved too slowly and were pitched down the stairs or to the floor, while others stampeded over them. Those In the rear, driven frantic by the approaching fire, fought like de mons to get to safety. Paula was wedged between a couple of heavy beams that suspended her out over tbe rushing river.

SEATTLE, WN. ronuiy ne naa neen since he bad left Paula two years ago in Itnly! How he had studied and endeavored to grasp the new language nud the Amer ican ways so he could progress for Paula's sakel And now she had literally flung back all his efforts nt him with scorn. But maybe It was because the dear girl was homesick. He had been home sick, too, when he first came over. Be ing homesick was very disturbing; he should not have left her so hastily. He turned nud hurried back. He thumped up the three flights of stairs to tho Senna flat again and found that Paula hud gone away with Tletro Bln conte. In all the eighteen years of Paula Senna's life iu gny and festival loving Italy she hnd never seen anything like the celebratlou of the American Fourth. To be sure, the real signifi cance of the day was unintelligible to her, but that didn't matter. From the tlmo she and Pletro Blnconte had gone aboard the excursion boat until now, when they found themselves among the dancers ou a recreation pier Jutting far out luto the broad river, It had been one continuous scries of surprises and wonders to ber, and nhe was not yet through with exclaiming. The sky was blue; the rivers and the bays were blue. The people, the build ings, everything was In holiday at tire. But It was when the bont had swung out from the dock, while the baud played lively tunes, that the gloiiousness of the Fourth and the vastness of the city broke on the en raptured gaze of the astonished girl She was sure she was looking on the en, tire area of America and that the Tile color left her pretty cheeks ana lips; she felt dizzy and nearly fainted; she swayed over against Pletro, half unconscious. Tbey were quite alone where they were, and he quickly slip ped a supporting arm around ber, gathered her close to him aud was on the point of kissing her when she re covered aud drew a way from blm. "Ah, Paula, Paula. 1 love you!" he exclaimed lu his low, rich voice, and, bending close to her: "I love you more than Ancona ever knew bow to love a woman. I will marry you I shall die If I do uot! Puula uita I would give my life for you! Come with me away from this hated couu try come back to Italia, to the red. white uud green!" He was about to snatch her to him again when some passengers came scurrying around the comer and most Inconsiderately seated themselves too close for his further loveiunklug. Pletro was sad because Paula bad not committed herself to his keening. Evening came, aud they were on the long aud scarcely finished recreation pier, where the wonderful etty was giving free entertainment for Its peo fla They danced with tbe crowds, listened to the music of the Imud mid Joined In tbe general merrymaking Fascinated by the myriads of lights along the water front and on the boats, Puula ran frequently to the end of the pier aud looked mil on tins new marvel. Then a sain -she must see ami enjoy unU eitiuim uiui lue eiuUoniU fireworks display. Truly this amaz ing America had not l'tn half enough exploited. "And Giuseppe belongs to It." she reiieated over uud over to her- ner, kicking, striking, pummeiing as furiously as the other human beasts, for escape. She called to blm, begging for his assistance, but be might have been across the sea In his adored Italy, so deaf were his ears to her appeals. Paula never knew how long she re mained In the faint while she hung there in the very Jaws of death. With returning consciousness she heard men SHB VU.Ii INTO TUB OUTSTKKTCHED fUt, shouting to her from the river. She could scarcely breathe or move, but she managed to" turn her head side ways so she could look down. She was directly over the hurricane, deck ot a big excursion boat that bad run Its prow as close to the pier as possible, so as to rescue the unfor tunates. Ia lieu of a net sever! men were stretching out a great flag ana shouting to her to Jump. She tried to, but failed from weakness. Then she beard a voice she knew, entreating, begging her to try again. She looked In tbe direction whence it came. It was Gluseppo! He was on ils knees beside the flag, screaming, gesticulating. Imploring, praying. Giu seppe! Then be was not angry, aud he did love her after all. His cries heartened her. Slowly, tortuously, she managed to free herself little by little until she stood clear and poised on the very edge of the long piece of scan tling. It was far, far down to the flag, but in the folds of that wide stretch of red. white and blue there was life, and Giuseppe was watting for her. She breathed a little prayer, closed her eyes, leaned forward nnl permit ted herself to fall Into the beautiful colors, then into Giuseppe's arms. WILLAMETTE Mr. and Mrs. P. L.
