C. A. Elliott returned to his home
in this city after several days spent
in San Francisco on a business trip.
Mr. Elliott was forced to return to
this city rather unexpectedly owing
to the pressure of his business. He
reports having a fine time while in
the south and says that Oregon has
the finest sight on the 1915 exposi
tion grounds of any of the states. The
authorities of the fair who Mr. El
liott interviewed state that they are
very desirous of Oregon making a
large appropriation in view, of the
. fact that the state has the best loca
tion on the grounds for a building.

SURPRISING FALL
The most noteworthy change in the
market the past week was the drop
in the price of eggs and chickens.
Eggs which have beenz-declining in
price for some time, now sell at 24
and 25 cents, with a fair prospect of
taking another tumble before many
days. Hens are low for the present
time of the year and it is likely that
they will not vary a great deal from
their present price for some time to
come. Potatoes still remain strong,
but those who are on the inside still
maintain that the present buying will
only last until present orders are fill
ed. Prevailing Oregon City prices are as
follows:
HIDES (Buying) Green salted, 7c
to 8c; sheep pelts 75c to $1.50 each.

INSTEAD OF
MADELINE
4.n Exchange Agreeable to
Both Parties
By CLARISSA MACKIE
.Mrs. Griffin was sitting at the tele
phone ordering a long list of groceries
and other things for dinner when she
heard the rattle of an auto outside,
and Jeffry Vincent appeared. Walking
In and straight to her, he asked if
Madeline was In. He wished to take
her to .ride in his auto.
"I'm so sorry, Jeffry, but Madeline
has disappeared! I believe she has
gone to her dressmaker's, and if that
is so she will not be home until after
luncheon because she was to meet Cleo
Delpin there and they were going oh,
never mind, you say? But, Jeffry, don't
you want to take little Sylvia with
you? She would dearly love the trip
down to Silversands and very well;
that's adear boy. I'll tell her to be
ready in fifteen minutes."
"Sylvia," she called to the young girl
reading in the window, "can't you put
on your things and drive down to Sil
versands with Jeffry? It's a fifty mile
run down there, and I know he is dis
appointed that Madeline has forgotten
all- about the engagement and I've told
him you would go." She looked ex
pectantly at Sylvia's slowly flushing
face.
"Why, of course, Aunt Bee, if it will
help out any," she said, rather reluc
tantly, "only, of course, I feel as
though I had been thrust upon him. I
know he'd rather have Madeline."
"Of course he would rather have
Madeline!" replied Madeline's mother
emphatically. "He is deeply in love
with her, and I am positive that he
would have proposed on this motor
drive if she-had not run away. What
does the child mean by throwing away
such a splendid chance?" Mrs. Griffin

asked this, question of nobody in par
ticular, for she was staring out of the
window.
Sylvia felt very uncomfortable. "Well,
if Mr. Vincent is willing to take me
along instead of Madeline I better get
ready," she said and left the room.
"If Sylvia was a little older and bet
ter poised I would be afraid to end
her off with Jeffry," mused Mrs. Grif
fin as she ldbked after tlie slim, young
figure of her niece. ""She certainly will
become a beauty that pale gold hair
and those wide gray eyes. Well, after
Madeline is married I will do the best
I can for Sylvia!','
Sylvia .was a charming figure in one
of Madeline's motor coats and with a
most becoming little bonnet framing
her face. In spite of the embarrass
ment she felt in accompanying Jeffry
Vincent in place of Madeline, whom he
undoubtedly admired, she could not
help a delightful sense of anticipa
tion at the unexpected pleasure before
her. As the powerful car sped up the
avenue toward the post road she shot
a brief upward glance at Jeffry Vin
cent's sternly set face.
At the same moment he looked down
at her, and their glances met and in
voluntarily the gravity of his face re
laxed before the perfect joy in hers.
"Great, isn't it?" he asked, referring
to the fresh spring air and sunshine
and intoxication of swift motion.
"Perfectly lovely," sighed Sylvia.
"You can't beat these roads out in
Wisconsin," he teased her.
"You can't beat our prairies for rid
ing," she retorted. "I'd rather spend
one day out there on horseback than
a week here in a motor oh, dear, what
have I said?" she breathed in a panic
of dismay. '
Jeffry laughed. "You've merely giv
en me your version of the lines
"Better fifty years of Europe
Than a cycle of Cathay.
"I've done some riding in Wyoming
myself," he added tactfully, "and
there's nothing like it under the sun."
"Not even motoring?" asked Sylvia
eagerly. She was jeiilous for that
western home of hers. l- the east they

looked upon her as a barbarian. Their
criticisms hurt because she had- left
all that she had to love out there the
graves of her parents.
"Not excepting motoring!" declared
Vincent
"That's nice of you," murmured Syl
via. "I should not have said that, be
cause I am having a lovely time, and
it is good of you to take me instead of
Madeline."
"The pleasure is mine," protested
Vincent, but Sylvia thought that her
reference to Madeline had diverted his
thoughts to that fickle maiden, for he
was very quiet for a long time after
that
It was a lovely ride along the shore
of the sound, with now and then a de
tour through some shaded road. They
reached Silversands at 2 o'clock and
had luncheon at an inn that overhung
the water. It was a novel and delight
ful experience for the girl who had
never seen anything save the rolling
plains of her loved western home.
As they sped homeward she shyly
thanked Jeffry for the pleasure he had
given her. "I really believe I shall
turn traitor to my horses," she smiled.
Again Jeffry looked down at her, and
their eyes met in a strange glance.
Gray eyes and brown were withdrawn,
but there was a iew, sweet sensation
flooding Sylvia's being, while Jeffry
looked dizzily ahead between the twin
pillars of dust that went before his
tires ...
He had admired Madeline Griffin and
believed that he wanted her for his
wife, but he had never felt like this
when they were together. Usually they
wrangled over unimportant matters.
But Madeline was a beauty, an imperi
ous one, and he had had no difficulty
in persuading himself that he was
in love with her. As for Madeline if
there was room in her heart for any
one save herself it was occupied by
Teddy Blancton if one judged by ap
pearances. From sheer jealousy and
doggedness Jeffry had sworn that he
would win Madeline for his wife, but
now somehow he didn't care.
He realized that . to marry meant
something more than carrying off the
season's beauty, but he had been daz
zled by her.. Here was little Sylvia.
He looked down at her charming face
and promptly forgot all about Made
line. The way homeward was taken more
leisurely, for Jeffry wanted to talk to
Sylvia. They became quite good
friends during the afternoon, and when
Jeffry left her at the door of the Grif
fin home it was his determination to
see her often.
Ere his car left thecurb a trim maid
ran. down the steps and begged him to
come within, as Mrs. Griffin wanted to
speak to him.
Jeffry found her in ; the library pale
and anxious looking.
"What is the matter, Mrs. Griffin?"
he asked. "Has anything happened?"
"I don't know what to do, Jeffry,"
she said, with agitation. "Madeline
has not been home." :
"Well, that, is not very unusual, is
it?" he asked, with a reassuring smile.
"Perhaps she is with Cleo Delpin or"
Mrs. Griffin shook her head. "I can
not -find any trace of her, Jeffry. I
have telephoned to Cleo as well as to
several other girls in fact, to every
place where she might have been but
she has not been seen today. It is very
strange." Her voice quavered.
"That is strange," agreed Jeffry, wor
ried in his turn. "Shall I go out and
try to get some trace of her where
abouts? You know I'm something of
a sleuth, and anyway I'm sure she'll
be back by dinner time."
"Oh, do go and look for her, Jeffry;
there's a dear! Norah says Madeline
wore her motor wraps, but. she saw
her walking down the avenue. That's
all I know about it."
vHave patience, dear Mrs. Griffin.
I'll telephone you the instant I learn
she's safe." He hurried out meeting
Sylvia in the doorway. "Your aunt
needs you," he whispered and de
parted. Sylvia and Mrs. Griffin spent an anx
ious evening. Hour after hour passed
without word from Jeffry Vincent
when, all at once the desk telephone
bell rang sharply.
Mrs. Griffin had been sitting before
it all the time. She drew it toward
her and spoke huskily.
"Yes?" she called.
"Mrs. Griffin, this Is Jeffry Vincent.
She is all right I'm coming up to tell
you at once. Goodby!" And before
she could frame a question he had left
his end of the wire.
The two watchers in the library wait
ed his coming eagerly.
When his firm step sounded in the
hall Sylvia's heart flew up into her
throat and then sank heavily, for she
suddenly recollected that Jeffry was
Madeline's lover and .she must stifle
her own growing interest in him.
He looked grave when he came in
and took Mrs. Griffin's hands in his.
"Dear Mrs. Griffin, be prepared for a
surprise," he said quietly. "Madeline
is safe and well, but she was married
to Teddy Blancton this afternoon, and
they are on their honeymoon trip now
in Blancton's motor"
"Married!" shrieked Mrs. Griflin in
horror. Then, suddenly recollecting
that Teddy Blancton was as good a
match as Jeffry Vincent, although the
poor boy was dreadfully homely of
face and not at all "Madeline's style,"
she found room in her heart to pity
Jeffry.
"My poor, poor boy, what shall you
do?" she cried.
Jeffry did not appear to hear her,
although his lips were smiling. He was
looking down over her shoulder at Syl
via's lovely, flushed face. Brown eyes
met gray once more, and in this glance
each read the blissful fate in store for
them.
Of course Jeffry would have to marry
Sylvia now instead of Madeline.
. Greedy Dogfish.
A story is going the rounds in which
four anglers were occupied with one
fish, a big mackerel.. It took the bait
of one of them and then proceeded to
entangle the four lines, so that it
seemed there were four fish. I dare
say it came in for some hard sayings
when the ruth was made manifest
But it is not uncommon for fish to take
two different baits. I have known it
to happen with both perch and pike.
Dogfish, of course, will often do- it
In fact I doubt if there is a limit to
the number of baits a dogfish would J
take if you only gave him the balta
and the time and the opportunity.

For the Children
.Canary That Loves
Music of the Flute.
-
A
1912, by American PreSs Association.
Many young folks have canary birds
as pets and have taught them amusing
and cute little tricks. Cauaries when
gently handled are very amenable to
discipline and learn to do in a way
some very interesting feats. But a
really wonderful little bird is that pos
sessed by Master Cassiu. an English
boy who plays the Bute. When its mas
ter plays the bird will fly to hira and
perch on his fingers, hopping from one
to another as the performer manipulates
the various keys, all the while accom
panying the music with his own sweet
little song. Frequently Miss Nanny
Cassin plays an' accompaniment to her
brother's flute on the piano, and then
the canary seems filled with ecstasy
and warbles its sweetest notes. Truly
this is a remarkable musical trio the
two children and the feathered per
former. Trick Paper.
Boys who are fond of performing
tricks in the parlor when company is
being entertained will find the piece of
fireproof paper quite a mystery making
thing. Take a bit of paper say a sheet
of ordinary note paper and dip it in a
strong solution of alum water. Let it
dry and repeat process, again drying it
After it has been dipped and dried
three or four times press it quickly and
gently with a warm iron and place
back in the box of stationery. When
you decide to show the trick remove
the sheet of paper from the box casual
ly, as though it is the same as the other
paper, and hold it over a lighted can
dle. It will not burn. The trick must
be performed within a few minutes
after the last application of alum wa
ter. It can be prepared after the com
pany has arrived, the boy doing so in
the kitchen secretly and some member
of the family slipping it into the box of
stationery for him as he talks to the
company about tricks, explaining what
he is about to do, etc.
Don'ts In Handling Books.
Don't leave a book lying open face
downward. It might split the back.
Don't handle any book before you
are sure your hands are clean.
. Don't lean upon a book. It makes
you look lazy, and. besides, the binding
won't stand it
Don't turn down the corners of the
leaves to mark your place. Make a
bookmark for this purpose.
Don't hold a book near the fire. The
binding might not be able to stand the
heat.
Don't use a textbook without putting
extra covers on it
Don't increase your library at the ex
pense of anybody else's. Of course
we don't mean to say that you mean
to keep any book that does not belong
to you. You simply "forget" But
don't let your memory clog up in this
matter.
