FRIDAY, JUNE 24. U2U THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, OREGON T." PAER eased himself through the door with a deft and experienced key. groped Ms careful way to a friendly and snremonstrating' chair and removed his shoes with fingers that needed no eye to guide them in the darkness. The Ceth Thomas, faithful guardian of the fleeting hours, from Its station on the mantel shelf, twice challenged the noise leas progress Of his sock-shrouded feet, filling the night with its accusing voice. "Darn !" T. Paer , muttered vindic tively, never could see no need of clock that strikes, anyway." Then he waited, poised, until the consistent rhythm of Ma's sleeping song again re assured him before he resumed his ' burglarious advance up the stairs..; By i slow degrees he shed hia garments, one ; by one, easing them gently to the. floor about him, until, at J ant. enfolded In his ' nightgown, he quietly raised one corner of the bedclothes, sank gingerly upon the rail, slipped first one foot and then the oyier with infinite care under i the covers and sank back with an in audible sigh of triumph. ' "Are you home?- Ma murmured drowsily but with a note of trailing sarcasm in her tone. ? T. Paer sighed and stirred as men do when disturbed in innocent slumber and : then checked the cadence of his breathing with an Incipient anore. - . ; I a - a 1 - .' "What time is it?" Ma asked, not so drowsily. . "This is a nice time for you to be sneaking tn." "U-u-u-mp," T. ' Paer groaned, his voice trailing off into the abyss of sleep as he stretched in protests "What time is itr' Ma insisted re lentlessly. "They ain't no use of your trying to pliy possum." "Huh! T. Paer i exclaimed, starting In apparent surprise. "What's the mat ter?" "That's what I want to know, Ma re torted. "I asked you twice what time it IsT - ' "How do I know?" T. Paer answered petulantly. "What's the use of wakln' a fellah up to ask a fool question like that? "What time waa it when you . come upstairs V Ma persisted. "If you'll tell roe that I can add a couple of minutes to it nd get a fair idea." I didn't look, T. Paer answered evasively. "I heard it strike 12 when I was down the street a ways." , "They must be sornething the mat ter with our. clock." Ma said Innocently. "X only beard t strike twice the last time.-- -.('. . ,;-i.f:.- : "Maybe you went to sleep nd missed 10 of 'em." T. Paer suggested. "Anyway that clock : ain't been strikin' right lately. .. - - . - 'I guess they ain't anything much the matter with It, Ma answered as she switched on the light, glanced at Big Ben's honest dial and snapped the cur rent off again. "I thought so. she added caustically.' i: "We had a blowout." T. 'Paer pleaded In defense, all the sleep gone out of his voice. "We" ;:'-- "Tou don't have to tell me" Ma re torted ambiguously, i I could tell that even with your back turned." "When a woman gets Just so suspl clous," T. Paer said with poignant re gret in his voice, ta fe'luh'd Just as well tie himself up t the1 doghouse 'nd never get out of the back yard." "I've seen some inhabitants of dog' houses," Ma retorted. "that wouldn't have to be tied up to make 'em behave better'n some people I might mention. "Tes, 'nd I've seen some that wouldn't growl every time the clock struck," T. Paer mumbled.) "What's the use of a fellah tellin' why he's late if he ain't be lieved?" . . . ! ' . ' '. ' ; "A honest Airedale wouldn't come home at2 o'clock in the morning with a fairy story about a blowout," Ma told him. "'nd he wouldn't take his shoes off In the parlor." "No," T. Paer retorted, "he'd walk right in "nd raise a Tough bouse if any thing was said to him," ; "It takes nerve i to raise a rough house," Ma answered calmly, '"just as it does to tell the truth about the time of night" - - i- . "A fellah's nerve ; gets klnda wobbly after 30 years," TV Paer sighed, "nd besides I didn't want to disturb you." "If husbands." Ma informed ? him, "would open the front door the same at night aa they do In the daytime, 'nd drop their shoes on the kitchen floor, 'nd walk right in, 'nd turn on the light no matter what time it is-" "They'd ride in a ambulance." T. Paer concluded for her. j "I got nerve, but not that much." 1 ; ; "Well," Ma said as she drew the covers under her chin. "It's easier to ride in- a ambulance with a clear con science than with one that ain't." V "I tell you it was a blowout." T, Paer insisted. 'Vu:-- "I believe you," Ma said. 'Goodnight.' (4 f Jenny Wren la Furious (Coryriftit, mi, fcy T. W. Bursefe) By Tboraton W. Bargess To Iom your temper doesn't pe-7. So nover let it get away. Jenny Wren. WHILE all the things I have told you about were happening over in the Green Forest things quite as Interesting were happening in the Old Orchard. Win some Bluebird had been the first to arrive in the- spring and ha and Mrs. Bluebird had wasted no time in srettliic housekeeping. The" year before they had ,mid their home in a hole in a fene post. - This year they decided that qer4ixijfttU.. house .-put up in one of the appitwseSf "by Farmer Brown's boy suited them better, and they moved iiv ' S,t, once. - Bully the English Sparrow- lmJ al ready taken posuession of the hollow In their home the year before, and their old home had been taken by a pair of their relatives. So it waa that when' Jenny and Mr. Wren arrived, n littla late and rather tired from their long j .' Jootney up from the South, they found the best homes in the Old Orchard al--; ready occupied- :f::y- 'x - -: They had gone 'straight to, their for mer home, expeeting to take possession at once. In the doorway sat Bully the English Sparrow. Instantly Jenny Wnn, became furious. The same thing had happened the year before, so perhaps it '.'is not to be 'wondered at that Jenny's always quick temper flared up. It was rather provoking to make such a long Journey to find the old home occupied. "Robber 1 House stealer ! Get out of there this Instant! Do you heat? Get out, of there this instant! That is our home!" shrieked Jenny. . On Your acation - OMcriaHCaaad mri cashes .' ssre muscles and sfalT juaats; w - aaual exertion eaoaM etraim sad r - ; : soaactimes apraina.

Bully Would have had to be stone deaf not to have heard, but he didn't budge, simply ruffled up his feathers until he quite filled the doorway. "My, nay. my. such a temper:" re torted Bully In the most provoking way. ii you want this house, just put us out. If you can put us out' you can have the house." - i : .. Now Bully and Mrs. Bully are. aa you know, much bigger than Jenny and Mr. Wren. Moreover, they love a fight They are never happier j than when fighting or quarreling with ; their neighbors, and for this reason are heartily disliked. I suspect that Bully had been looking for ward with a great deal of pleasure to the arrival of Jenny and Mrs. Wren. He looked actually happy as he sat there with his feathers ruffled up. , Poor Jenny Wren 1 She knew she was helpless. She knew she was no natch for Bully in a fight. The only thing she could meet him on even turns with was her tongue, for she has the sharpest tongue in all the Old Orchard. And she used it now. My, my, my, how she did use it! She called Bully every bad thing she could think of and Jenny can think of a lot. All the other birds in the Old Orchard gathered around and en couraged her, for none liked Bully and Mrs. Bully. And they loved to hear Jenny scold and see ber jerk her tail. Finally Bully had enough ef bad names and suddenly darted out at Jenny, while Mrs. Bully took his place in the doorway and urged him on. Bully is a regular little feathered, fighting ma chine and Jenny and Mr. Wren together were no match for him." , He drove them clear to tie edge of the Old Orchard. Then he flew back in triumph. . Jenny is smart enough to know when a thing is hopeless and she wasted no more time on Bully. Scoldinf is only she can scold, she led the way to look for ; another house, and aa ' she found one after another occupied she grew more ana more lurious. ! Her tongue flew so fast that, as Welcome Robin said. It was a wonder it didn't break loose at the roots. ' And id the end the only empty house Jenny and Mr. Wra could fm4 was the hollow post on the edge of the Old Orchard where Wlnsom Bluebird had lived the year before, The next story : ."Jenny Wren Makes a Discovery." , , Astoria Planning For Annual Regatta Astoria, June 33. Keviving many of the features of the regattas which were annual events. la Astoria for years, will be the illuminated marine parade which will sweep up : the river in front of Astoria Saturday evening, July the opening day of the celebration here.

Beside the marine parade, races be tween the types of Columbia river fish ing craft will be held end an endeavor la being made 16 secure entries for speed boat contests. Bear" Story On Dempsey Hits Chicago CHICAGO. June ' 24. (I. N. 8.) A "bear" atory -upon Jack Dempeey's condition and his prospects of winning the championship fight against Georges Carpentier was furnished the Chicago American today by Ed W. Smith, sport ing editor of that paper and recognised boxing authority, who Is in the East. He says the champion is heavier than in his go against Willard two years ago, acts wind - broken and that , the gloom in his camp is evident. Smith. It will be remembered, ' pre dicted Jack Johnson would defeat Jim Jeffries, that WiUard would win . the title from Johnson and that Dempsey would defeat Willard, in each Instance days before the fight took place. "TEbV hex BUST - V " Smith declarea Dempeey's camp fol lowers talk bravely but that in : their hearts they know the champion : is not the man he should be for the coming fracas. He says the "yes" men at Dempsey 's headquarters have 'been so busy "yessing" everybody, that the true condition of the fighter has been kept under a cloud. "In all 1 frankness," Smith says, "Dempsey does not look as fit and per fect, as normal mentally and as gen erally in aa good condition as he did on his birthday two years ago. He's 28 to day and added age hasn't improved him down to a fine line in an athletic and especially a fighting' sense. ' ' "He is heavier, they say only about six pounds but it is so placed it doesn't improve his appearance to the critical eye. It looks like a vigorous massage might take off .this weight. THE "BIG PC3rCH - "Dempsey acts wind-broken. "That may be the matter with him. He snorts and they say even when the light men of the camp sock him a f ew times on the bridge of the nostrils that 'he opens his mouth and sucks In the ocean ozone in vast gobs. "He knocks out a sparring partner In a hurry, hence we hear much of the big punch. Perhaps Dempsey would rather knock them out in a hurry than have the distress, of going along with them for three "or four rounds whlcb3 he should do for the decidedly bene ficial effect upon his condition. "If we were judging on mere surface conditions we wouldn't give Carpentier much more than a fair outside chance of carrying the title back to. France. But there is an underlying something that even the yes men' cannot obliterate with all their three-cheer stuff." ; Tennis : LONDON,' June 24. (I. N. a Mile Suzanne Lenglen.
