OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 5. 1920.
an
A suit case, belonging to Elme"
Scott, shipbuilder and laborer, was
found upon the banks of the Wil
lamette river near hers by several
small children, who wore playing in
that vicinity at the time. The child
ren took the suit case home wit them,
and the parents notified Sheriff Wil
son of the find. Upon Investigation
by the sheriff of the contents, several
pairs of socks, underwear, book, an
Insurance policy, time keepers' book,
and other personal articles were,
found. Th Insurance policy was
taken out in 1918 from the Oreon
Surety & Casualty Co., for the sum
of J.100, and the beneficiary named
was Smith's daughter, Nellie Hyland,
of Astoria. The- policy read that
"Smith was a laborer, residence in
Portland, and was employed by Grant
Smith Porter Shipbuilding Co., Port
land A photograph of a young
woman signed Mamie Scott, of Wil
lamina. was also found In the case.
Two letter were found In the suit
case addressed to Elmer Scott at
Gcrvais and Salem. Oregon.
From all appearances, It looks like
Smith had jumped into the WUlaraet
te river, as the suit case was found
close to the water's edge. The of
ficials here are trying to trace the
man since being employed by the
shipbuilding company in Portland,
but are having little success. What
has become of Smith, or where he is
at present, is a mystery, and all re
latives have been notified of the find
ing of his belongings here.

According to statistics recently
compiled there was a total of 7,901.
271 motor car and truck registrations
in. the United States. This means
that there is a motor vehicle foi
every 13.5 persons in this country.
Present available figures indicate
that before the first of next year
there will be mora than 8,000,000
motor vehicles in use in the United
States.
In the percentage of increase in

cf states, Califor-lia thirty-second and
Wa:-hing:on forty-second.
With a material increase In the.
registration figures there will come
a large increase in total fees at the
end of the year. With the presiden

trenching itself more and more on a
Deace-time basis we should witness
next year a banner year In the move

CHAPTER ONE
The Street of Strange Faces.
I. THE DARK CORNER.
The way of the thing was ever the
same: It befell without warning; or
rather, the girl had never learned to
take heed of signs which seemed plain
enough in retrospect, when she sat
alone and piuzled her pretty head
with the dark riddle of this shadow
life which set her so widely apart from
every girl she knew and. Indeed, from
all the rest of humankind. . . .
She had a day of restlessness,
whose every hour brewed its new pe
culiar mood, whose every mood was
purposeless, with times of almost
feverish gayety, causeless, fitful, fugi
tive, and other times when for no rea
son In her knowledge she caught her
self sighing long fluttering sighs that
shook her strangely. So might one's
spirit sigh In weariness, faint with
the burden of Incessant strife with
some great antagonist of unguessable
Identity.
Toward nightfall all these were
soothed away Into a feeling of serene
poise and self-possession ; and sat
urate with consciousness of the rich,
strong wine of vitality that quickened
her. she thought of life In the likeness
of a wide placid river, wherein she
drifted like a fearless swimmer a
stream whose waters were warm,
sweet and calm with a penetrating
quality of delicious calm she never
dreamed could be disturbed, so abso
lute It seemed, so permanent, so Im
perturbable. Only the sighs persisted oddly, as
If her spirit knew moments of melan
choly of which her mind knew noth
ing. And insidiously the tranquil surface
of that contentment was flawed by ap
prehensions of nameless danger, of
peril Intent, stealthy and Implacable ;
as though the swimmer snrm'sed some
monstrous shape of evil SKiilking un
seen In those opaque deeps or felt
herself subtly ensnared by a current
whose IrresistiMe set was altogether
toward destruction.
Now at length perceiving what was
to come, panic paralyzed in her the
Instinct of self-preservation : though
horror brimmed the cup of beini. she
made no effort to fight free but. as
one who knows that strops' In 5 must
prove vain, resigned herself and let
the baneful current work its will with
ber. Fascination, too. was at work,
deep within her a mad desire to go
again that wild w-ny she had so often
gone, and once more he, and do, and
see. ...
Sotlt is, so it mut he. with those
to whom a drug has inaje itself a
thing of Life and Penth.
On ahem!, like n bend in the rlvpr.
waited that turning In her psychic
life which she knew as the Dark Tur
ner: while she lay passive in the
grasp of that power which so obscure
ly had Its rise in her yet was repug
nant to her, being at once tier Will
and her Necessity. And as the Dark
Corner drew momentarily more near,
the transfusion which she termed the
Change was effected by what may only
be described as a convulsion of her
very soul, after which came lassitude,
a vast enervation in which all linger
ing traces of reluctance were obliter
ated. Now she was no longer herself, but
another woman than the one she
knew, a strange woman clothed in her
own flesh but in no other way akin to
her Self of everyday, having no
thought Impulse or emotion with
WDjCh
that Self could sympathize.
hensibly, consciousness of the old
self-Identity survived ; and though (as
she conceived It) dispossessed from
Its tenement, her Self continued hy
her body's side, observant, critical, in
trigued, something amused. . . .
In this wise rounding the Dark Cor
ner, she passed Into that place which
she had named the Street of Strange
Faces: and the enigma of this confu
sion of Self with noi-Self was forgot
ten In the rush of exotic sensation
and emotion, excitement and lawless
Joy, which Invariably accompanied
definite and final commitment to re
newed pursuit of these transcendental
adventures.
II. LEONORA.
Together with the Faces, Its win
dows made the Street, being of many
sons, to each its own significant illu
mination : hard plate glass masks of
saloons beaming false fellowship,
mean shop fronts of ingratiating
shine, windows of homely golden glow,
others through whose latticed shutters
filtered sinister gleams bespeaking
the unspeakable others again that
gave only dull reflections In begrimed
panes of naphtha flames flaring lurid
ly above pushcarts arrayed In un
broken lines along the curbs.
Through tills welter of light and
shadow, la the sidewalk channels, the
Faces passed and repassed, lurking
darkly in forbidding doorways, seek
ing brazenly the brightest glare, com
ing and going without rest, In uncouth
carnival: kind and brutal, cunning
and naive, wicked and Innocent,
swarthy, fair, unique, commonplace.;
feces that disgusted, faces that al
lured, faces that meant nothing, that
were mere empty mouthing masks;
faces of oriental cast, yellow and red
and brown ; negro faces In every shade
of quartering. . . .
She knew them all: they all knew
her. The sense of strangeness ebbed ;
with every step, with every look

she was losing touch with her other
Self which had so singularly renounced
Its authority and faded Into impotent.
at the Park Corner, hut which still
kept step with ber. clung to her more
closely than her shadow, and like a
wraith of tlie living, wntyhed, noted
and compared while taking part In ac
M.ins wholly foreign to its nature and
experiencing reactions obscure to It
:ind tm.ntelliglMe.
New the girl moved swiftly, with j
ea-e and boldness, even with a hint
f nnvgsioe: giving the Faces look
for look, smile for smile, frown for
frown; laughing Impishly up at a tall
policeman who knitted black brows
over Indulgent blue eyes; flinging racy
retorts to the banter of a knot of
men emerging from a giu-mlll; chill
ing with glance and won! the ad
vances of those who fhould have
known hotter; chaffing hucksters who
bawled In her ears the tawdry virtues
of their wares ; pausing now and
again to exchange more kindly per
siflage with folk who held title to her
liking; cutting an Impudent figure, as
confident and unabashed as a colt
turned loose In borne pastures.
Her sharp perceptions took In every
thing; not one considerable detail es
caped their remark. And she liked It,
she liked it all, she was curiously per
meated to her very marrow with de
light In sounds and sights and smells
familiar to her senses since time be
yond their earliest record.
The Street, never wide, was the nar
rower for Its double rank of pushcarts.
Between these an occasional automo
bile or horse-drawn vehicle went gin
gerly to spare the multitude of
urchins, half dressed and less than
half washed, of every age and almost
every nationality, that swarmed upon
the asphaltutn. Tenement house
their fire escapes converted Into bal
conies lavishly draped with candid
bedding and still more candid women
drew confidential heads together on
high, leaving visible only a slender
ribbon of cobalt sky. In between the
air was sluggish, thick with unnat
ural haze, and rank with many odors ;
an nnholy alliance of garlic, fried fih,
boiled cabbage and stale heer main
taining debatable ascendency over the
native aroma of a stratum of society
which holds soup les necessity than
luxury. And the night was tumultuous
with screams of children at crude
play, howls of baliles wallowing In
neglect, bawling of street vendors,
each striving to outyell his nearest
competitor, clatter of tinny pianos,
blare and whine of Jaded phono
graphs: all relieved against a Vholly
normal nndertone of Incessant gossip
and bickering.
The girl hugged to herself the Joy
of living; th's was to her the brenth
of life: even more. It was enterprise,
adventure, the very stuff of Romance.
She went her way smiling, with a
conscious smile bred of knowledge
that she was dressed in her best. In
her very'newest best at that, garments
of n cut and oot and quality such a
the Street seldom saw.
Nevertheless, her show of noncha
lance cloaked circumspection; If her
looks were free and roving, they were
likewise keen and watchful. Though
the width of the Street was between
them, she was well aware of two
plain-clothes men who turned to stare
when she had gone by and conferred
together concerning her craftily, after
the absurd manner of their kind, out
of the corners of their mouths.
But that was a minor circumstance,
more fun than reason for worry. They
couldn't Jug a girl for wearing good
clothes, even If they didn't know
where she had got tliem or how. , . .
The stress of her attention was due
to considerations far more weighty;
and when, of a sudden, at a crossing,
she descried Its cause, she checked In
unfeigned dismay, with startled
pulses.
III. THE MAN MARIO.
On the far corner a tall man, sim
ply clothed, composed of habit, stood
stirless. hands clasped lightly before
hlro In a gesture with which the girl
was well acquainted, head and shoul
ders lifting above the crowd. Against
the tawny flames of naphtha torches
his profile was sharp und black, the
silhouette of an ascetic, gravely fine;
but none better than she knew how its
austerity was belied by bauiited eyes
whose sincerity could wring truth
from Hps that moved to frame a lie.
And he was looking for her; she
knew that, too.
In a flurry so real that It touched
her anger, she swung aside Into tire
oy-street, a grim street that led any
where but the way she wished to go.
i Yet she welcomed Its sullen gloom
and went swiftly, heedless of every
thing but the necessity of escaping,
knowing In her heart she could not
escape. ...
Her name was called In a voice of
resonant timbre: "Leonora! I beg
of you . . . It Is I, Mario!"
She stopped and swung round with
a specious show of surprise subsiding
Into Indifference. Tone and manner
were discouraging; but ber heart was
faint.
"Oh! hello! It's you . .
The man paused, hat In hand, his
attitude one of pleading and reproach,
yet Informed ' with an Ineffaceable
dignity,
"You saw me, Leonora. Why did
you run from me?"
She tossed her head. "What makes
you think I dldr
"I do not think ; I know. You turned
tip this street to avoid me. Leonora,
why?"
"If you thought that that I want-
d to be left alone why'd you follow
mr
The man lifted hi hands palm up
permost, and let them fall.
"You know ... I love you. 1 make
no secret of that. I have told you
how many times--a hundred? Yea"
Wm
wm
"You Know... I Lov You I Maks
No Secret of That"
his enunciation grew more rupld
"and you are not Indifferent to me.
You never said s but ... I know."
"Oh, I like you all right"
"No; more than that; too much to
wish to hurt me. is It not so?"
"Why, 1 don't want to hurt you, of
course. But If you've got to know 1
was In a hurry. I've got a date and
I'm late."
"And I am detaining you! Forgive
me hut let me go with you a little
way."
The girl shot hunted glances right
and left; then, since nothing In sight
promised diversion, said ungraciously:
"Nobody can stop your walking with
me."
"Nobody but you. Leonora. One
word "
"One word from me and you'll do
exactly as you plcae." With a nerv
ous laugh "Oh, come along !" she
turned back, walking hastily, the man
Mario falling In at her side. "I'd Just
as leave you didn't come nil the way,
though."
"You do not wisti me to know where
you go." He nodded sober confirma
tion of an unuttered guess. "I see
"You see a terrible lot!" The girl
hed a spasm of Irritation. "You're al
ways seeing things. Well, what do
you see now:"
"You go to meet those others" his
tone was sad "those whom I have so
often begged you "
"(iness it's mjr business who my
friends are." t
"Certainly you give me no right to
make it mine. That cannot affect the
truth that such associations are un
wise." "Maybe I'm best Judge of that, too."
"Leonora; why pretend to me? De
ceive yourself If you must and can
hut not me. not one who loves you as
I do. Io not attempt It, even. It Is
SO useless "
With a courtesy the more gratifying
because It was so novel. Mario put his
hand under her arm. lightly piloting
her through the human mazes of the
brawling Street, which they crossed
squarely and quickly left behind.
After a little while, being In the
wrong, she said sulkily: "I don't see
why you're always making out I'm try
ing to put something over on you. I
never promised . . ."
"True. Rut you know what these
friends. of yours ate. and their ways,
whither they lend, their Inevitable end
You know, if you persist, your f u te
must be as theirs."
"I guess what's good enough for my
friends Is good enoi gh for tue "
"No, Leonora ; you are too good for
that or I could no' love you."
' The man paused, end his hold on her
arm drew the glr1 to an unwilling
pause with him. uii'way down a dark,
dead block of ii.i ustrlal bulldingi,
with a wlndowie-iJ wall beside them
und not a aoul ne.. 'by to hear. The
girl was distressed, more than a lltfie
humbled in her own esteem by thU
revelation of on affection more endur
ing and generous end frank than any
she had ever known
"1 am not a common man." Mario
wa stating simple fact. Innocent of
conceit. "I know the world outside the
one you know, and 'he men and wom
en who live In It. Where I go. I look
about me, and relied on what 1 see. I
am seldom mistaken In those who in
terest me. And you whom I love . . .
I tell you. you are no more of this life
than I. and you do a wrong thing, a
wicked and cruel thing, when you
trample down that which Is good In
you and might bring you to a splendid
destiny."
Impressed In spite of herself,
touched, and flattered, too, she looked
uneasily away, twisting her hands to
gether, her tongue faltering.
"I suppose you know what you mean
"And you also. I mean, you could
love me If you would, and In my love,
In the life I offer you, become the self
that today you hide away so Jealously
your real self, a woman fine and strong
and true, not this adventure-loving
companion of rogues and vagubonds
and worse!" He cave an Imploring
gesture. "Ah, Leonora, If only you
would give them up I"
She looked up with wistful eyes, all
effrontery abandoned, only the woman
remaining, the woman whom this man
alone hud the secret of perceiving In
her. In this, Indeed, resided the true
reason for her fear t meeting Mario:
he was disastrous to her peace of
mind, her self-complacence; when she
listened to him, satisfaction departed
and in Its stead came Inquietude, with
the wish to he what be would have het
to be, what Intuition told her she
could be If she would but set herself
to overcome her own resistance.
She searched bis face In wonder.
When he disturbed her so profoundly,
why did she like him so much? What
was It that gave him power to charm
her wits away, discontent her with all
that had othtiWlso seemed excellent
and complete, make nothing of the
steel of her set purpose? Was It his
love alone?
He loved her, she was satisfied of
that, but with such forbearance, such
consideration, tenderness and under
standing as left her Incredulous, In
the Street love was another thing en
tirely, a fiercer, cruder business,
brusque and seltlsli without dlsgnlstt
something open, direct and casual, hut
as essential as moat and drink, Hut
this was dliTcrent, this love Mario had
for her.
Yes; and It was true, what he as
serted, he too wtts different ; there was
no onollka him. mi geatle and strong
and lirave, fastidious, reserved, and
thoughtful. In her world he ninda a
figure striking mid Incongruous. Yet
he lingered on obstinately, In part (he
told her) because It was his passion
to study every side of life, hut mostly
because he loved ber and never would
willingly give up hope of winning her
He would never leave, he protested,
llll she went with bltn.
"Leonora !" he pleaded. "Come
with me . . ."
In a moment of determination she
tried to put sentiment aside with a
hard little laugh of scorn, "1 guess
you don't understand: Red would kilt
me If I chucked him!"
"He would never find you where I
would take you. to my home In Spain;
