STORY OF CHERRIAN TRIP
IS TOLD BY ONE OF THEM
Arrived home Wednesday noon
Julr from the Montana trip
and (was off again this following
tnoralngjon a trip Uo southern
Oregon 'with' the Cherrians.
A iej lined up at 7 in the mor
ning there Were 18 cars all tagged
with a Cherrlan sign.. We had
I the band, and in all there were ill
Cherrians In uniform; just a nice
"number to make a good showing.
We colled out of town alt blowing
our horns, and in a short time
we were - parsing throui)i the
main; street of Jefferson, with all
the people on'- the main street
waving as we ." passed V. through.
Another halhour, w&L were lat
Albany. - iWre- we ; gavex a' street
parade, and I carried the. banner.
One ind-bjearted ;croperY Billie
East burn, gave us a box of. peach
es as we stopped fa front of his
place and sang a few songs. Then
we were off again over that rough
road to Corvallia.
I was ordered to take the lead
and follow the traffic officer, and
I ! set the i pace and sure received
a good shaking up in doing so.
so much so that my -engine would
not start When I was ready to
leave Corvallis, but it only hap
pened to be a loose connection
on the battery box.
Abovt 20, miles oat of Corval
lis I stopped to put up the top.
and of course all the other cars
parsed me, and when I was roll-
idjg again I'oon caneht up t a

as , I looked at the- speedometer

" 'At Eugene we fed ourselves-, at
the restaurants, and then gave a
street parade and were off to Cot
tage Grove for another parade.
.Cottage; GfoVe jdid not know we
were coming' until 30 minutes be-
. fore our arrival, but they certain
ly gave us an enthusiastic recep
tion, as I'noticed some" of the lead
ing merchants, cbatless and hat-
less, leading our parade up. the
main street. Mr. Barteii or tne
. Hotel Bartell, passed around a
box of cigars and we cleaned up
all the Ice cream cones In town.
-We did sot make another stop
until oui ' arrival at Koseburg at
6 s o'cloic-' Here we areglstered for
tne atgbTt; cleaned op, and were
entertained at dinner -by the
Roseburg -Chamber of Commerce.
Then another parade and 6ff to

Roseburg band, a verr good band.
gave a- fine- concert 'In their new
bandstand, a 'dandy stand In - the
shape if a shell. They played ' tin
9 o'clock and then ' gave way to
ae Cherrlan band, whlcb gave a
wonderful 'concert and' certainly
was appreciated by the audience.
The reason1 these concerts' sound
d so good was due to the shape
tt, the ' bandstand. ",Yoo icoald
sand ; blocks away and bear It
plainly. How' I wish we had one
here in Balem. We' all noticed
the difference In! the sottnd of th
music.
' The next morning alCcar were
oft at S, eTen Frank Water's. Vbo
A hi Til car repaired, and
balance did not .- know anything
about it. I would like to name
these eight lucky Cherrians. but
i'as I believe every one of them
was married I fear I had better
not mention any names.
This was a beautiful dance
pavillion. good floor and good1
music', 'but' the best of it all was
that the ladies, and especially the
leading ones, who too.k part in
the opera, came over to the pavil
lion 'dressed, in their costumes
and-monopolized the lucky eight.
We sure had some time. When
we told the other Cherrians about
It the following day, they were
sure a sore bunch, they were sure
"kicking" .themselves, especially
Zadoc Riggs and Albert Gille.
Left Medford, Saturday morn
ing at 9 o'clock 'and were met at
the city limits of Ashland by the.
"Lithians." There is where the
real entertainment commenced.
Their caris had j banners reading
"The Lithians welcome the Cher
rians." They-paraded us through
the beautiful city of Ashland, and
then to their wonderful park. It's
sure & beautiful park.- Anyone
passing through Ashland should
not miss stopping at this park.
The only ; trouble is that once
you get into it 'you will not only
stop, you are likely to pitch your
tent and. stay a week, as so many
tourists do. We drank lithia wa

a bottle of Lithia water, at each
plate, and "Ice cream 'and home
made cake. That's not all, but 1
cannot remember the balance.
This was all cooked at home and
I believe brought there by the
wives of the Lithians.1 We sure
appreciated It. j This was all
spread on tables under the beau
tiful trees. j .
Bert Miller, a fine looking fel
low, and, by the way, a particular
friend, of mine,! was toastmaster
and Sparkling Water of the Lithi
ans. He was' formerly an officer
of the Berrians of Newburg. He
certainly had his job down pat,
and knew J how j to make us feel
good, u Their ouartet sang to ns
and one of them ran like this:
"Every flimr's got two speeds,
High is all Ashland needs." -S
Before' the Cherrians could re
spond and sfng some ; of their
songs, the whistle blew and we all
hurtled down to the'depot to see
President Harding. I might say
right here that "I do not believe
tha? I will ever forgive King Bing

standing then at 101 in the shade.
I was carrying the banner and I
was all in. Then ' be nad the
nerve to march jus ! back again,
and 1 quit right therec I asked
a Lithlan to hold the banner for
me for a few minutes and I disap
peared. . 1
i We returned to the park, and
then the - Lithians took us - for - a
drive over the city ending up at
the natatorium where we all went
In swimming. It was great.
In the evening they gave us a
ball at the open pavillion in the
park. : This dance floor Is ' built

' CHAPTER NO. 370
THE REQUiST MARION MADE
" OP HER ANXIOUS
MOTHER h tv
As Marlon's weak little voice
uttered her mother's name, Lillian
bent over her jwith the .tender
special understanding smile which
loving " mothers reserve for. their
children. It seemed itself to "en
velop the child in safety.
"Yes, . sweetheart, t Mother's
right here." ,:;j:.' ...--,
"What's the matter? : O-h-h '
' ' Her scream seemed to pierce
the roof. For a terrorized instant
I feared that some inadvertent
movement of -her body had given
her pain, and knew that the phy
sician and nurse Bhared my ap1
prehensions by the quick, concert
ed 'movement they made toward
the child. But in another second
the explanation had come. 5 - 1
"The horses!" Marlon' shud
dered, and we realized she was
living over- the awful moment
when the maddened animal "baa
dashed over her.
. Lillian had : dropped to :he
knees beside "the cot at the cry.
and had drawn the terrified child
into her arms..
"There, there, darlinfr." she
soothed. "Mother's here, and
nothing can get you."
"Where Are We?"
AtMvp.f action I had seen I)r
Pettlr.V-hawl gesture toward her
with involuntary though Impotent
protest, and realized that he fear
ed jnovemeaj for the little bodjf
with itsayet undetermined' in
juries. EdtCas the child, with no
indication Of pain; nestled close to
her mother, I watching him nar-
rowiy, .In the endeavor to ascer
tain his real opinion , concerning
Marion's condition saw his face
relax, though almost impercepti
bly, and knew that the incident
had "brought him distinct reas
surance.-: ,
Marion did not speak again for
long minute. With one hand
clinging" to her mother's hand,
and the other carcessing her face,
she appeared to be revelling in
the assurance of safety her moth
er's embrace gave her. Then her
eyes roved to the rest of us. )
"Auntie Madge," she said with
glad recognition. "Dr. ' Pettit
there was wonderment In the clear
tones, x "And" her eyes rested
on Miss Jones in her uniform.
'Mother, where are we? This
Isn't one of the rooms at TIc-
ers." '
With characteristic caution Lil
lian glanced at Dr. Pettit for ad
vice as; to the answer he wished
given to the child.
He nodded his head In permis
sion to reveal ' the truth, and Lil
lian smiled gayly at her small
daughter. ;
"I'll give you three guesses,"
she said, and I saw that she was
deftly trying to remove any un
easiness in the child's mind by
her own unconcerned manner. 1
-Marion's face lighted with ans
wering gayety.
"That's easy," she said, look
ing at Miss Jones's uniform. "It's
a hospital. But " with a start
led look. "Did I break anything?
Will I be able to walk?"
Dr. Pettit bent over her.
I'm Hungry."
"I'm sure yiu will, Marion," he
laid calmly. But I 'wanf you to
keep very still for a little While
and rest, will you V"j -
4Oh, yes!' docilely, and her
eyes went contentedly back to ' her
mother's ' face. I
The physician : took her pulse
and temperature, and made a brief
cursory examination of the little
body. . t S
"Everything's all right so far.'
His voice no less than his words
reassured, for he had let the re
lief he felt Uhow through bis pro
fessional s calm. "Now, I wonder
If I can guess what you are think
ing about."
The child's eyes twinkled, and
I recognized anew in her the same
indomitable spirit which keeps
her mother smiling no matter
what obstacles confront her.
"I can't wait to have you
guess." sne said, "I'm hungry.
"That's splendid." Dr. Pettit
returned heartily. "Miss Jones is
a regular Aladdin. Please go and
rub your' lamp. Miss Jones." J
The nurse hurried " away, and
Marion eontentedlyijsfluggled clo
ser tov her' mother.
"Cuddle me tight, mumsle," she
commanded as if she could not
get enough of the enveloping mo
ther love. iJ
How "gladly Lillian obeyed her.
I knewfonly too well, fdr?my arms
were aching'to'fcold ray town little
lad. And until Miss 'Jones came
back' with the tray none of us
spoke.
Marlon "drank the hot broth
with relish. 'When s"he had fin
ished,; she crept Into her4;moth
er's arms again and lay', there
quietly for several contented, min
utes, j' " ;''
"Mumsle:" she said? at Mast
thoughtfully. " .,
"Yes, my lamb." i , .., j
"I came pretty near dying did

"Only just this little bltJ
There was curious obstinacy 1 in
the child's respectful tone.- "If
had died my Uneje Robert would
never have seen me again. And
I love him so, - and want to see
him so bad." Won't you 1
