CHAPTER CCLXXXVIII
WHY THE UNKNOWN WOMAN
SAID "YOU'VE THE TREAT OF
YOUR LIFE BEFORE "YOU."
"How long have we to wait here
at Kingston before the train to the
mountains?" i ;: ' . I
Dicky had Just returned from the-
ticket office of the railway station,
and I asked the question more to
test the state of his temper thin be

had taken by mistake ' mad a spec
tacle of the lingerie in ours at the
crowded terminal of , the (Hudson
Rlrer boat.
"Two hajurs." Ha spokej crossly,
gloomily. i"Would you like me to
iret you a room at a hotel where
you can lie down for a couple of
hours, while waiting? My' nerves
are all on edge; I feel like taking a
brisk tramp to see if I can get. the
kinks out of my brain."
I felt that he wished to be rid of
me for a jwhile. 'that my ! presence

only reminded him of his humiliat
ing experience, and exasperated him
in his 4nger. I bad a sudden inspi
ration, i
"1 certainly do not wish any ho
tel room." I said cheerily, "but I'll
tell yon what I want; Kingston is
filled with historical buildings that
I have long wanted to see. If you'll
find out for me how. near the street
car will take me to the Reformed
Dutch ichurch and the old' Senate
House i'll spend my two hours look
ing around those -places, and meet
you here at the station in plenty of
time for the train.;
f. Across Dicky's face flashed a look
of relief, and yet mingled with it
I recognized a childish resentment
that I jcould so readily fall in with
his suggestion to leave him by him
self. But his only comment was:
I "That's a good i&ea. only nix on
the street car.' I'll get a taxi: tell
the man what time he is to bring
you back to the station, and then
you won't have any Coher about
finding places. Of course, he'll
know where everything is."
"Oh? but Dicky, that's so useless."
1 started to protest, and -then sud
denly shut my lips, realizing that the
offer of the taxi was Dicky's round
about banner of apologizing for hi?
rudeness to me concerning tha tra
veling I bag. j
"Don't be ridiculous,?' Dicky said
shortly. j
"I Won't." I returned cheerfully.
Vand 'm really very grateful it's
lovelv iof you to think of it."
Dicky deiened no reply, only
sauntered out Of the waiting room
door, and in a few moments reap
peared! evidently In much better hu
mor. !

I spent an Interesting two hours
browsing arouna among me anciem

dered! among the tombstones, hoary
with are. In the old cemetery vttlcb

Thf massive old church, with Its
nuppr! Dntcb Inscristlons carved on

The Senate House, where the con

House, the only building to escape
the burning of the city by the Bri
tish, land the numerous massive pa
latial! rasidenpea " of rears, conn bv
In waich the little city abounds, all
excited my Interest and maginaton.
And yet. through all ray real en
joyment of the outing ran the
thread of my regret that Dicky was
not with me to share my pleasure.
When I rejoiaed him at the sta
tion I saw a transformed Dicky, He
was smiling merrily, and there was
a tender, light in his eyes as he greet
ed me.
"Well, did you inspect all the ru
ins?" he laughed, as he helped me
out ot the taxian d'paid the man.
"I didn't let one escape," ! re
turned. ;
"That's good." he rejoined, "come
along, we have just about time to
get our train."
An Inquisitive, Friendly Stare.
We boarded the accommodation
train with its red plush seats and
renerally antiquated air. which war.
to bear ns to our destination. The
car was partly filled with passen
gers, but- we found seats to our lik
ing near the rear of the car.
"If you're not familiar with the
mountains you'll want to stand on
the back, platform." Dicky said, "and
we might as well get as near it as
possible."
As he spoke, a woman sitting Just
in front, of The s-at we had taken
turned around and fixed a frank-
inquisitive, thourh friendly stare
upon us.
She was slender and dark, dis
tinctly over 30 years of age: not
pretty, but with a pair of the most
luminous black eyes I had ever seen
that lighted up her otherwise plain
face and made her wonderfully at
tractive.
"If you -have never seen thr
mountains you hrvo. the treat of
your life before you."
She spoke to me, but I noticed
that her eyes were fixed on Dicky
with the approving, appraising look
I have seen so many women give
him.

ECONOMY TRUCK
A CEliUlNE VflUTY TRUCK THAT SPELLS TRUE ECONOMY IN EVERY
UNE OF BUSINESS '
i i
i -
Interest in l motor truck centers in its
proven ability to transport goods j econom
ically. On this basis consider the jOtdsnio
bite Economy Truck. j
It Is a remarkable saver of time, j Speedy,
p'oMrerfur, driven by jTorbensen Internal
(ear rear axle and mounted on pneumatic
tirVK,j it -makes capacity-load deliveries in
record lime and in the best possible con
dition. . ' ' ' j
Tliis positive ability to render dependably
satisfactory service and the very low con
sumption of gasoline and oil are the chief
reasons for the name "Oldsnwbile Economy
Truck."
Hut equally important, the cost iof main
taining this tntck is "reduced to .the very
roinimuin; a long life of efficient service
is a fact assured m advance..
Why are these things true of the Olds
mobile Economy Truck? Because every,
unitmotor, frame, axles, tires, in ..fact, ev
ery part from radiator to tail light has
proven worth, is built to uphold the reputa
tion for leadership; -that the'aiame Oldsmo-.
bile has' enjoyed for 21 years. Because the
truck as a whole is the best that sound
engineering and ultra-thorough factory
methods can produce. '
The adaptability and range of usefulness
ofthe Oldsmobfle Economy Truck makes
it the logical truck in a wide variety of
fields. Those who have considered greater
carrying capacity pecessary in their work
will find this feature far morcjthau offset by
the moderate first t-ost, speed, low operating
cost and extremely low maintenance cost of
this Oldsmobile. .

If this is to be your year

If present conditions hold up to I
the end of the fruit growing season
better than average fruit will be pro
duced in the central Willamette val
ley. This applies to all fruits grown
in this part of the state with the ex
ception cf pears. Due to rain dur
ing the period of pollenization the j
pear crop will be very light this year.
This Is on the authority of Senator
Louis Lachmund who grows a wide
variety of fruits and grains.
The strawberry and loganberry
outlook is promising In excess of the
usual crop and the acreage is beinr
increased yearly In those fruits.
Peaches will be a full crop, Mr. Lach
mund declares, and In apples, all
signs point to a heavy output. Cher
ries will be about three-fourths of
a crop or better than last year when
the, yield was below normal. Or-
chardists have made a consistent and
determined fight against the Cali
fornia thrips pest which made its
first Invasion of the Willamette val
ley this season. The remedy has
ben found in a spray solution and
no trouble with the insect is antf1
cipated in subsequent seasons. The
thrips appeared in the Liberty dis
trict and in some other places near
Salem and before it finished its work
destroyed an estimated 300 or 4 00
acres of cherries. This loss, how
ever, will not materially affect the
general, output of the fruit. Sena
tor- Lachmund states that the season
Is too early to make a forecast on
the walnut yield.
More farmers than ever are plant
ing corrt this season. For wheat and
all other grains and the hay crops
the forecast is a neavy yield.
Sunshine of the last week or ten
days has been favorable to the
growing of cros, but another rain
fall in the next two or three days
would be welcome.

5 years without radical change means a perfection
in motorjear development j ! j ' !
