His answer was something like this: ; "Oh.-well, we have about caujrht up on our farm work, and there is nothing much to do; we are sort of resting. All l . . . ll 1 A !

Occasional ly one cpmes here with the smell of wild life about him but it soon gives place to the regular gasoline smell so familiar in the cleaners. Then again : we have found that some of thc wildest and woolicst have calmed j down under the denign infltience of ; the famous Salem, temperment. It is the old story of those coming to scoff remaining to j pray.' Some come believing they can lefy Salem and! Its beautiful traditions , but they cannot. No matter how wild they may be to start in six months they will eat right out of our hands.: - THE CIRCUIT RIDER The monument to the "Circuit Rider" , which ; is to be unveiled in this city February 23 next is of much interest. In the first 1 place it recalls the heroic days of the ministry and in the next place it typifies the spirit that has made the Willamette valley great. 'The circuit riderv-was of necessity a pioneer in .spirit , ,as . well r as : in practice. His mind, reached out to the far away places and his heart bade his feet to go in that direction. , The circuit rider and his lean horse with the saddle bags attached represented a post tive and very real force in the development of the west. He went where hardy pioneers in other lines feared to go. He fal tered not by, tales of Indian atro cities but pulled the old nag's girth a bit tighter, prayed a little more earnestly and went his way. His life must have been a charmed one because he passed unscathed where pioneering was post dang erous. , The circuit rider performed his work ,and went to his long home. He must haver been very tired be cause he was denied creature comforts. He must have been glad because he had 5 talked so much 6f the happy home beyond that the picture became very precious and real to .him. It is fitting that this pioneer who was more than a preacher who was an explorer and , con queror should nave a speciuc monument, should be singled1 out and -honored as a class. He traveled alone yet he took his church with him and along with the rider and the faithful horse there was always the Third Per son, who guided, directed and comforted the tired traveler. RUM WAR There is a good deal of talk about rum runners, rum agents proving false to their, trusts and rum war. In the states like New York where the state, has turned its back on the Jaw it is little wonder that the law cannot be "enforced. In other states where the liquor influences have smooth ly secured the appointment of friendly officials the ' law is not enforced. In the states where the state cooperates with the law then something is doing all the while. The prohibition law will not en force Itself. It is not automatic ally made and behind 'it there must be public sentiment. This sentiment Is growing The open saloon will never come back and if the people are vigilant the light wines and beer will not come either...:- . STARTS OFF AYELXi Music is so illuminating, culti vating, refining and enjoyable that It ought to be within the reach of more people. The Ore gon Statesman- has repeatedly pro nounced in favor of ' the phono graph because it takes good music into the home. ' But no phono graph can exactly take the place of - the real "hnuslc. There Is al ways some leak in the canning where the air gets in and does damage. ,--1 )'.:; Salem has a civil music society that starts off "well. It gave Its first concert Thursday night. Mme. Jess in her interpretations of folk songs I gave those who heard her a treat. That is good as far as it goes but It ought to go farther. There were about 200 people at the recital, an un usual number for a musical at traction of course but still not enough. There are 22,000 people in Salem and it is not fair to say that only two hundred would have appreciated such music. Of course many could not attend for various reasons but certainly more than two hundred could have attend ed. , It means that w? arc net educated in music, do not properly appreciate the finer things of life. We hope this new organization will succeed in popularizing music in Salem. SPECIAL RATES The railroads wilV not make special ' rates for the transporta tion of wheat. The railroads can always be depended upon to show short sighted policy. Where the railroads have been 'baited Ithey are always at fault. They have angered the people so that dem ogogues sieze the opportunity tor reprisal. ' Then the ' railroads holler that they are being perse cuted. They are just reaping the results of their own short sighted policies. ; I "' "There is not a business reason en earth why the railroads should iotlgrant a preferential rate or. wheat. It is a service they can gender and that will "return ' to them ten fold in public apprecia tion. But they will not do It. No one ever thought they would who had given' any attention to rail road policies. We are glad I Pres ident Cool id ge checked this mat' ter up jo the railroads.' He ap pealed to the men of largest minds in the service. Possibly he thought they might respond but the chances are that he saw; a chance to give the country an ODject . lesson ot railroad selfish ness" and shortsightedness. ". Any way the people saw and took note. DOES ALMAXY IlAVK IT? A man in Albany declares that he has discovered perpetual mo tion, lie says he can start his ma chine and it 1 will run until the bearings wear out. Then there is an end to the going of the thing? That being true how can we call it perpetual motion? Almost any mechanic can invent a machine that would, run forever if friction didn't in terfere. It is to get rid ot fric tion that puzzles the inventors. As long as the parts wear out they cannot run forever and the word perpetual means forever. Next. Some educators are preparing to establish a free coHege. There can be no such thing. Every col lege must cost someone some money. State institutions do not cost the students very much but they cost the state a whole lot. Denominational schools do not cost the students any where near what the cost of an education is but some one pays the bill. There can be no such thing as a free education. Somebody must pay for every education and when the student realizes this he is not so apt to fool away his time. In Barcelona for five months there has been a reign of terror. There have been 4 94 assassina tions. This is a war between em ployes and employers. Both are killers. Of the total number slain 327 were employers and 167 em ployes. The publication of these statistics may result In lessening the per cent of differences. Has the devil come to the altar? The I. W. W. have resolved to go to church. They declare they are misunderstood and in order to set themselves right, at a national meeting held in North Dakota, instructed every I. W. W. to go to church. Portland has made a survey and solemnly declares that there is no need of a bridge across the Colum bia -J-Iver at Longview.

I knew, nothing save that my baby boy was alive and safe in my arms, heard nothing but his crooning little voice saying, "Mama, ma ma," over and over again,; as if he never would tire of the word. I Then, as the acrid smoke clear ed a bit with the opening of the windows j and . doors by one of Hugh Grantland's men, I saw' the old colored woman kneeling by the prostrate figure of the man 1 knew only as Tim saw also with horrified eyes that another of Hugh Grantland's men had torn the coat and shirt from the offi cer's shoulder, and was stanching the blood that welled from ad ugly wound in his shoulder. " "He drilled you. major," the man said respectfully,. "but I don't think--"; "Tie it up quickly." Hugh Grantland snapped, "and let me get my coat on." v l saw his face change ' as he looked at the man on the floor. "Send: for a doctor," he order ed. i 'You f-don need no -f- doc tor," Tim gasped. "I won't be here by the time he gits here. Don't take on so, Aunt Sukey. It's the best thing that kin happen to me. But I didn't hurt the kid though thatjsne-devil wanted me to r - r j His voice failed, and his eyes' Closed. . : - "' ' "Glvej him some brandy," Hugh Grantland interposed, and one of his men poured a drink , from a flask and gave it to the dying man. who drank, it docilely, lay quietly for a minute, then roused himself : and openen his eyes. " r "Have you got that she-devil?" he 'demanded. " . "No, but we're going to, if you (help us by telling all youiknow," Hugh Grantland answered quiet' ly. ' 1 - i . - 1 , "Curse her," Tim replied fer vently. ."I'll spill all T know If it'll put her where she belongs. I bad to do what she said. She knew something tl Hugh Grantland motioned to one of his men, who crept behind Tim with a notebook and pen cil. U v ; . "'I- - . . "She always made me stay fornewhere near, her," he said. "She told, me she wanted this young, one taken and put out of mm HUSBAND the way for good, and- ha gasp ed for breath. " " r te,. hail It all nlontioit ntlt - wuo . &4 v. . . .... w.a, he" went on. "The last few days I stayed at the house of that man across the road, and at night she'd slip out and -we'd, go over tp the studio. She had the keys, and I fixed some boards in the closet floor at the side where 1 could come up and down from, under neath, and hinged a board in the floo r of that window-seat of draw ings with a hook and eye under neath the floor. The day - the baby got in there I was hid undei the floor all day waitin. That devil had drilled thn kid so he'd get in there and hide' under the drawings. And he had a picture he called his Danzie's drawing at the bottom of the pile-r- j I gave a strangled exclamation, for I saw the diabolical way in which Grace Draper had played upon the little chap's love for hi3 grandmother to send him to what she meant to be his death. fllugh Grantland put hfs unin jured arm back, and I felt his fingers clasp mine firmly, with a strength that sustained me. ; 'The baby came running back to . the studio." Tim went on with pauses between the words. "I could hear his little feet, and he climbed into the box and rooted to the bottom of it. as she had taught him to do. I slipped the hook of the board beneath, caught him as he fell out, and gave him a whiff of a cholorform sponge " "It Didn't Take Much" Only the fact that the man was ",e "scio um u throat. , "It o'idn't take much ,to put him out," he then went on. "Then I throwed a toy the baby had out on the path to the orchard, as she'd told me to. When she gave me a signal that ft was all right I took the kid and carried him she guiding me. But the baby woke np and called its mother twice be fore I could get my hand over Its mouth. I nearly lost my nerve then, for I heard you, ma'am, come shrieking out, but that she devil pushed me on and stopped you." So. my ears had not deceived me that night! My arms went closer round my boy. r "I get the kid to the house of the man across the road, and I had hard work 'to keep him from finishing the boy. He drove ms off into the hills, where he met a big automobile, and since then I've been passed till I got down here. That woman is head ofof a gang--" ! ,,,His voice trailed away, and even less, experienced eyes than mine coujd have told that he was ver7 near his end. And so we left him .inj charge of the old colored yfpman and the' county police -to rush to the railroad. For . both Hugh Grantland and I knew that if Mother Graham was to live we must put her idolized grandson in her arms without delay. r Dimly I realized! my husband's agony also, but the door that had shut between him j and me upon that terrible day of Junior's dis appearance when Dicky, motoring with. Edith Fairfax, did not get home, for hours afterward, had never opened, and I feft no desire to open it, -1 ,f - Exhausted, I slept during most of the journey home. I did not tee Hugh Grantland until we reached New York, and were whisked from the station into a powerful touring, car. It was after dark, as he had planned, when we drew up to my home. Tom Chester appeared as if from the ground with the Informa tion that Aunt Dora Paige, upon whom the major feared the effect of sudden excitement, all our household was gathered in th living room. : - 'She brought the other one over as you asked," Tom Chester re plied. , A great light broke upon me. Edith Fairfax had been working with Hugh Grantland from the first, pretending ! friendship with Grace Draper in order to keep her unsuspicious of the net closing around her. We entered the living room filled with people. .Dicky, as al ways since his boy's disappear ance, staring straight in front of him Grace Draper and Edith Fairfax standing together near a door, a little away from the rest. Dicky sprang to his-feet at sight of his boy, and ' rushed toward us. l "Oh. my God!! Madge, is he all right?" he cried. Junior answered him with a joyous call of j "Pa-pa! Pa-pa!" and sprang into his outstretched arms. And then we heard a shriek from Leila another from Mrs. Durkee. , I turned to see Grace Draper forcing Edith Fairfax to the door with one hand .while "with the other she held a tiny but deadly pistol to the Virginia girls head. With - incredible swiftness sh had i grasped the situation as she saw; us enter, and had done tht only1 thing possible to save her self.: . i : " You think you've got me!" she cried, and then she laughed. a cool, light chuckle, -as ir she Were really amused at' the paraly sis which had seized us all. "I'm glad to see you appreciate at its full value my purpose to hold this interesting stool pteeon", sho gave Edith's arm a vicious jerk--"asi hostage iintil I , get ' safelv nway. If you make a single move I'll send her to wait for me Oh. you're not, through with me yet, Madgie, you j asinine little dupe: How royally 1 forgiving yon were. Bah!'

But just tell Lillian with my compli ments, that she'll wait a long time for legal freedom. to jump over the broomstick with that sappy Robert- ' , She flung Edith Fairfax vio lently against Tom Chester, send ing them both reeling, and was out of the door, speeding into the darkness. . "After 'her!" Hugh Grantland shouted, but- only Tom Chester and Alfred Durkee obeyed. For a far different cry assailed our ears as Mother Graham, stag gering with weakness, with Jim and Katie on either side of her. and Aunt Dora Paige anxiously bringing up the rear, cme into the room, and, almost fainting, but with ineffable bliss on her worn, old face, clasped her idol ized grandchild in her trembling arms. And then Dicky, as if re leased from duty, glanced quick ly at me, and rushed out of the door. I had . undressed Junior, put him to bed' in my room, and was sitting by his side trying to get the excited child to sleep, when Dicky came in. , Dicky's face was sombre, his 'manner taciturn. "Grantland's going," he said. "You'd better go down and say 'thank you. No," in answer to my unspoken question, "we didn't get her not yet," grimly. "But they've arrested the man across the road. He'll be put where he belongs anyway." I descended the stairs slowly, found Hugh Grantland in the hall, with my father and Alfred Durkee. In another minute I was alone with the army officer, who, with tense, white, baffled face. seized tightly the hands I held out to him. while his eyes ' " ' aBaBaggisgsagBSSS3SM 3SaissgaK i ' I T'm D AVri a 'm,T -O m T - IVT w r w-a a ww I Copyright. 1023, Associated Editors. FOOTBALL FORWARD PASSING GRJP , (This is one of a series of twelve les sons which bring ont tha most Important points which every boy should know who wants to learn to play football right.) A football team without a for ward pass cannot hope in these days to win games. Every team should have a good passer, -who lias speed and accuracy. . For the 'forward pass the tall should be gripped in the palm ot the hand1 with the fingers extend ed around it, and clamped over the lacing. The thumb should be stretched around as far as pos sible to the other side-lace. The little finger should come up to a point about the middle of the ball. AH the others should be behind it, well spread out so that they may be used in throwing the ball forward.' After the ball has been proper ly placed in the right hand it should be carried straight back j THE SHORT STORY, JR.

"We can just make it, I gues3," sighed John, counting over again the money on the. table, "and there . won't be any to- spares, "We have to make the game but we sure will be strapped for cash." grinned Irving, his chum. "Well, we can save 15 cents by hiking out th highway to Brady ville and taking the 'interurban from there," suggested John. "That'll give, us money for a sand wich and coffee." "That's the ticket." agreed Ir ving, pulling on his old ' gray sweater , and skull cap. "Let's beat it right awayfthen." ; V" The two boy rwer soon out of town, hiking along gaily in their old .-clothes, and. thinking of the football game with Chesterton. held the look which I have seen and regretted before. ' ""She eluded us.'1 v he said hoarsely. yet I shall not rest un til sho Is no more, a menace to you. But I can't protect yoa if you " - "I will never disregard your warnings again," I said earnestly, and he lifted my hands to hia lips. . "Remember, I am at your call always," he said, and went out into the night again, while I drag ged myself up the stairs wonder ing why Fate should have'arranK ed things that this man should care so hopelessly, while , my bus band seemed 60 careless of mv happiness. " V - But when I "entered my room, the mental door which had " been shut between my husband and me seemed to open ever so slightly For he was kneeling beside . th bed. our boy gathered on hi arms, his face . burled In thi child's curls. V . OUR boy. Ah, there it was, tho key which could open any -door between my ..husband and me! J felt the Ice around my heart yield ing as Dicky lifted bis head, and seeing me, put out his arms and swept me to my knees beside him. holding me tightly as If he. would never let me go. "I don't deserve tb plead for myself," he whispered, 'though honestly,' sweetheart, you haven't any reason to be jealous, bbwev much you may have to be angrv and disgusted. . But won't you let him plead lor me?" ; - 'Junior's plaintive voice -lifted itself in a familiar reqnestr on he always makes at bedtime. . "Pa-pa, tiss Dooner; Ma-ma, tiss Dooner; pa-pa, tiss ma-ma." Dicky's eyes met mine. What I saw in them swept away the' las! vestige - of my resentment, and over our restored darling our lips met.

A big car drew up beside them. The boys looked startled, for such offers were rare. Be sides, the farmer who had stopped had a grim face and hard eyes he wasn't at all the sort to pick two boys up out of kindness. 4 They rooked at each other and then de tided to chance it. "We're going to Bradyvllle," they answered. . "Climb in. then. That's the way I'm going." ' . -When "they came to the little village of Bradyville. however, the man stepped on the gas and rush ed through. The boys were as tonished and frightened. They tried to yell at him, but he didn t seem to bear them. "Well," de clared John, "there are two of us. Be can't hurt us. And there's one satisfaction. We're heading in the direction of Chesterton." On the car sped, with the two frightened boys. For half an hour they went along the highway. Then suddenly: the machine turned up a side road. i-The boys gasped. It rounded a curve and slopped before a big gray" building. "The. reform school!" stuttered Irving.
