Presently she stopped and culled: "Come, Molly; the uuto'a waiting." "All right, Imogen; I'll be with you as soon us 1 can lie on my veil. Have you your goggles?" "Goggles? No! Do you suppose I would make myself hideous by wear ing such tilings?" Imogen went out to the piazza, where at the foot of the steps the automo bile was waiting, and said to the ehauf. feur: "You needn't go today, William. I'm going to drive myself." "Yes, miss." "Is everything all right?" "1'es, miss." "Conio, Molly; let's be off." Molly camo hurrying out, trying to adjust a veil and pull on a puir of gloves at the same time, a somewhat difficult feat to perform. The two got into the auto, and the machine chug ged down the driveway to the gate. It was a mild spring morning, and tlw roads were flue. Imogen was quite an expert driver, and there was noth ing to mar the pleasure of" the trip till they had been out a couple of hours and were some thirty miles from home. Then one of the tires subsided and let the wheel to which it belonged down on to the ground. "Oh, dear!" exclaimed Molly. "What shall we do?" "There's a shed or stable or some thing over there; let's go over and see if we can get any help." Having placed the auto on the side of the road, they both walked the bun dred yards that separated them from the house and found a mun In over alls tinkering with an automobile. "Oh, how fortunate!" exclaimed Mol ly. "It's a garage." "We've got a puncture or some thing," said Imogen to the man. "We've left our auto out there in the road. Would you mind coming out to see what's the matter?" The man left his work, went with them to their auto, inspected the wheel and said: "It's not a case of puncture. There's a rip In the tire." "Oh, dear!" exclaimed Imogen. "Can It be Axed?" "Not here. I haven't the tools." "What slm 11 we do?"

Then he said to them: "I will take you to your home, and you can send some one out with an extra tire to take your auto back." "Do you think that's the only thing to do?" "Yes. Please wait till I go to the house and get off these overalls. I'll be back In a moment." He went up a byroad and disappear ed. The two girls occupied themselves looking nt an Imposing mansion on the top of a hill, nt the foot of which they waited. "That's a fine house," snld Imogen. "I wouldn't mind being at the head of that house Unit is, if I hud a husband to he" "At the foot," supplied Molly. In a few moments the man returned In chauffeur costume. "I should think you'd be hungry," ho said. "It's past lunch time, and you'll not get home before 3 o'clock. Perhaps you'd better go up to that summer hotel," pointing to the house they had been admiring, "and get something to eat. It's not yet opened for the season, but I think you'll find something to stay your appetite." "What a beautiful site for a hotel!" exclaimed Imogen. "We thought it a private house." They climbed the hill, were admit ted by a maid In white and black uni form and shown Into a dining room having none of the appearance of one belonging to a hotel. There a delicious luncheon was served. On attempting to pay for it the maid said that there was no one in the house to receive cash and they would have to pay an other time. "We'll leave it with the man at the garage down there," said Imogen. "Yes, niLss," the girl assented. Returning to the garage, they found the man waiting for them with an auto ready. They entered It ami start ed for home. On the way home the chauffeur became more communicative, and Imogen remarked sotlo voce to Molly that ho used very good language for nn auto tinker. When they reach ed the house Imogen took out her pock etbook, asking hint how much his charges would be. Including the lunch eon. The chauuVui- replied that there was no charge for the ride; on the con trary, he had been much honored. As for the luncheon, he owned the house iu which they had lunched, and in this, too, they had honored him. The girls looked at each other in consternation. "But you said," Imogen protested, "that the house was a summer hotel." "I lied there," said the man Iniper turbnbly. The three sat regarding one another for a few moments, then hurst out laughing. "Pardon me," said the chauffeur. "1 couldn't help it. You walked right into your own trap." That was some years ago.

Editor Courier: In the matter of Courier history: I was established in Clackamas coun ty in 1858, have been a reader and in political sympathy with all the dem ocratic papers that have been pub lished in Oregon City and a cores pondent most of the time, and if memory were more nearly perfect, could give the editorial genealogy in chronological order. I. LeMahieu may have been the founder of the Courier, but I have not so classed him. If the paper is 35 years old it seems to me that is between five and 10 years back of Mr. LeMahieu's advent in Oregon City. Anyhow, the first democratic editor and the one that was longer on the job than any successor was A. Noltner, called "Tony." His time was in the '70's and he went to Port land and published a democratic paper called the Standard from about 1880. He died in Portland a few years ago. His Clackamas succes sor was Col. J. B. Fithian, who, I am told, still publishes a small paper in Portland, though nearly incapaci tated by rheumatism. Fithian was followed by LeMahieu, though there may have been an inter val between with a change of name. Contemporary with Fithian and a part of LeMahieu's term was a rotund, blond Englishmen by the name of John Rock who presided in the En terprise chair and who, I remember, called LeMahieu a cross-eyed Jew be cause both eyes did not look in the same direction. Rock retired to his brother's farm in Tillamook and died there. It is interesting to me to recall the characteristics of succeeding edi tors, but perhaps this is enough, for the present at least. U.

Notion That Corporations No Souls is Passing Affairs in some of the war-torn na tions today would hardly warrant the general statement that the world is growing better; and yet normally there is evidence that it is. Two hun dred and fifty thousand workmen employed in American industries have had their lives insured by their em ployers. This represents insurance policies to the total amount of about $250,000,000. The premiums on these insurance policies are paid by the companies for which the men work. This system of insurance for employ es, paid for and maintained by the employers, has been growing over a period of about five years, but has at tracted little public attention. The whole subject was forced to the front the first of the year by the action of the board of directors of the Union Pacific system, which took out insur ance policies covering every one of its employes from 16 to 70 years of age who have been in service one year or longer and who are not re ceiving more than $4,000 a year in salary. This one instance means an insurance policy of $30,000,000 and Tentative Program Outlined for C. E. Convention at Gladstone Plans for the second annual Clack amas county Christian Endeavor con vention, being worked out by the ex ecutive committee of the county C. E. union, are taking definite shape and indicate that the two-day program will be full of attractive features. Among the speakers at the conven tion, which will be held in the Glad stone Christian church on May 6 and 7, are Lloyd R. Carrick, ex-president of the Oregon C. E. union; Miss Hel en Orr, secretary of the state union; Miss Estella Ford, state superintend ent of the Life Work Recruits depart ment; Miss Gertrude Eakin, vice president of the state union; G. Ev ert Baker and E. Earl Feike. The last two are former presidents of the stat union. Officers for the county union for the year following the date of the convention will be elected. The pres ent officers are: Lorraine Ostrom, president; Elbert Charman, vice-president; Miss Shirlie Swallow, secre tary; Miss Clara Tate, treasurer. C, N. Harlow of Oregon City has accepted appointment as transporta tion manager for the convention. He will make travelling arrangements for the delegates, who will come from all parts of the county. It is expected that the registration of delegates will pass the 200 mark. Alaska's Tanaria Fields. The Tanana coal held, Alaska, will be tributary to the government rail road now under construction from Seward to Fairbanks. Though the coal in this field Is lignite mid hence of low grade, yet It has great value as a source of fuel and power for Fairbanks and other Yukon placer camps. The field Is about sixty miles south of Fair banks. It Is estimated by the United States geological survey that the Ne nana field contains some 10.000,000,000 tons of lignite. Argonaut. OLSON ARRESTED Garage Man Charged With Sale of Intoxicating Liquor August Olson was arrested last Thursday at Mulino by Constable D. E. Frost on a grand jury indictment charging him with the illegal sale of intoxicating liquor to Orran I. Adkins.
