CHAPTER NO. 158 WHY DID DICKY STEAL ; MADGE? 1 ''!- . -. ,t .My little prophecy concerning - Katherlne was promptly fulfilled. After a few hours of rest enforced by Lillian, ' she declared - herself more than ready to begin the del icate and arduous worked planned for her. Accordingly. Lillian, j Katherlne and Lflrove.to Dr. Pet tit'a on the very evening of the day ehe came to us. for the arrange- ment of the necessary pl-elimrnarr tea to her hospital engagement the next day.. The tall, grave physician wel comed my little friend with more real, unaffected cordiality than I had seen in him for many months. I recalled that In t he "old days pf my first acquaintance with Kath erlne. I had suspected Dr. Pettit of a tenderness toward her, but I had -decided afterward that his feeling for her was simply the, admiration and liking of a physician for' an unusually capable land gifted nurse, who possessed besides a most attractive personality. , s;i But whatever hla feeling pffihe nousiao MEN fj"3 OUT Says !

"When I commenced taking korex a' week ago I couldn't 'sweep a floor. Last Monday t helped with my moving, handling things like a man.

"In determining the proportion of Federal aid for road construction among the States, - the sum$ lost in taxation to the respective States by. the setting apart of large portions of their area as forest reservations should be con sidered as a controlling factor.", . ' ' ' , In fulfillment of the above platform pledge, Con gress enacted the ; Federal Highway, Act approved by -President Harding November 9,. 1921 Since Mr. Harding became president, the following sums have been set aside by the Federal Government for highway construction in Oregon: - 1921 - 1922- ---- 1923- ---- 1924- ---- Total -----?2,961,73G.00 .IV A part of thesa rnoneys would doubtless have been spent on Oregon roads in any event, but the commitment of th 3 party and the Federal Government to the policy announced in the above plank is cjue to E. J. Adams more thzn zny: other man. 1 hope that he may be elected a dzlszzte to the Republican National Convention this year Z3 well. " ' - - Adv. old days. Dr." Pettit pleasure In seeing Katherlne again was , most patent, and for a few minutes Lil lian did not interrupt the exchange of questions and reminiscences be tween them. ' . , Y -t , Y ' Indeed, it was Katherlne1 herself, who, with; characteristic thojught fulness. put a period to the conver sation and turned to Lillian with the apologetic: : , "Pardon, I should " have remem bered that you have something n.ost Important to discuss with Dr. Pettit." t ; "It "is perfectly all right, my dear," Lillian responded.; "Be sure that I should have interrupted you ruthlessly If I had felt that I must. But if iron have finished " she paused tentatively. " .Absolutely." KatheTlne smiled. "Then let's get down to cases. You have managed so that 'no sus picion of anytbrag "out of the ord inary will attach, itself to Mrs. Bickett's arrival in the hospital." Lillian's tone was assertive rather than questioning. "Fortunately, it arranged It self," :Dr Pettit. returned, "The man whose, car . struck., our un known friend, was , so consience stricken over the result- of , his reckless driving that he ordered no expense to be spared in his care. That has, meant a private, room, and a private nurse But the staff of nurses is shorthanded, and my suggestion, that I could bring an other nurse for this man was re ceived wlthjnucJi joy. especially as the one . who has teen" caring for nim has been asked for in another case. So Mrs. Bickett will slip In to the .place wfthbuT any question or comment" ',. I A ' I Y. ,U l ' ' ' Good!" Lillian's, characteristic monosyllable -was emphatic. "Then what time tomorrow will you 'call for her? It will be better for Mrs. Graham and me not to appear In the matte r at all." r . "Of course," -the - physician agreed. "And I will "call at 10 o'clock, if that Is agreeable to Mrs. Bickett." 1 He bowed formally. "He is the same ridieulous dar ling old ramrod," Kalherine de clared half-af f ectionately," half derlslvely.: as ; after perfunctory farewells we drove rapidly back to the farmhouse ; "I wonder if he'll every marry. If he managed . to get the right sort of wife for his temperament; she'd cure him of a lot of those little mannerisms." Discussing Dr. Pettit. , "And be In her coffin or a padded cell when shfe got the job Accom plished,? Lillian commented dryly. "Nay, nay, dear heart, your friend is a born old bachelor be would n't fit Into the picture In any oth er capacity!" ...... I ''Y i, tX; ;. fl think you're wrong," Kath erlne retorted spiritedly. "If he ever fell In love - "He'a been 'In love." Lillian's Quotation! of ..the phrase was "ex quisitely ironical, "twice to my knowledge, and if there could be found on either occasion a more anointed idiot than, he I'd go a long way to get a- rlew of jthe phe nomenon, i But let's not waste our time talking about him. We've got -a session coming with the Dickybird t when ie learns you're going to leave us, or I miss my guess-!' . U ' . ' -. I was thankful. Indeed, that she had se summarily switched - the subject, and I hoped frantically that my "seat at the wheel had pre vented either of my friends from noticing the flush which I could not control at Lillian's words.

' Dicky Goes Riding. - I sent the car along speedily, giving but perfunctory attention to Lillian's instructions to Kath erlne as to her answers to Dicky's possible questions. And when we had reached home again we found Dicky ensconced on, the veranda.

The Anti-Saloon league has inaugurated . a cam paign . throughout the state and proposes to take an active part In the primaries this year, when we shall seek the nomination of offi cers who are in sympathy with and will enforce the prohibition laws. Prohibition will certainly fail in Oregon if the laws are not enforced "These meetings are held In re cognition of the tremendous prop aganda; which is being carried on to nullify prohibition and to dis crdit all law. It is a clarion call to all those who "believe in pro hibition but who with the passage of the 18th amendment and' the enactment of the - Volstead law felt that the fight was over and lost active interest. "Realizing that this inactivity and apathy has resulted in an ap parent growth of the liquor senti ment and in the non-observance of tha enforcement act not only by state officials and bootleggers but by men and women who are law abiding In every way Is the reason for law-enforcement work, with the idea of recovering the morale of the moral and Chrlstinan forces upon-the prohibition issue." y . - ; All Fleeing Trusties Are Back in, Prison Twenty cents prevented two in mates of the state prison from crossing into Washington over the Interstate bridge Saturday morn ing. --The pair were Jack Law and Ed Brofk, who walked away from the prison farm late Thursday aft ernoon.

COOLIDGE HECK S Possible Veto Forecasted By Action of Chief-Executive On Pension Bill WASHINGTON, May 3. Presi dent Coolidge late, today received the soldiers' bonus bill, from the senate following the completion of legislative action when President Cummins of. the senate , attached his signature to the measure. . . The measure reached the White House -within a few hours after the president had sent a messaee to the senate announcing he had vetoed the Bursum pension bin because' It would add many mil lions of -dollars .annually to the cost of government. ;" A. reading of that message strengthened the belief long enter tained by a number of senators that Mr. Coolidge wiir veto the bonus bill. ; The executive will not take im mediate action however as ' the measure first will be sent to the treasury for an estimate of cost and the views of Secretary ; Mel lon. Later It probably will go to the veterans bureau 1n which, Js administration would be lodged. Should the president return the bill to congress without his ap proval an effort will be made to pass it over his, Veto and propon ents in both, the senate and house assert that they can muster the required two-thirds rote. WINTESiDE WILL BE , in sim 5G0TJ Fourth Annual Show Coming to Local - Theatre - ' .May 14 Walker Whiteside will make his fourth . annual appearance in Salem on Wednesday night; May 1 , at which time he will present the terrific Anglo-Chinese melo drama. "Mr. Wu," at the Grand theater. Mr. Whiteside will en act the powerful character of, Wu Li Chang, a great mandarin of Hong Kong, China, in whose gor geous ; palace many ' weird and thrilling events occur. Readers of the celebrated novel, "Mr. Wu" will recall that the love interest In the book concerns. Xang Fing, and Basil Gregory, and that Wu LI Chang rudely breaks up the clandestine love affair, and pro ceeds to wreak his vengeance up on the despoilers of his honor. Salem theater goers have little knowledge of the magnitude of a first jclass - dramatic . attraction. Walker Whiteside carries a com pany of a score of New York players of reputation; a working crew of five men; two maids and three dressers. . A 70-foot balloon type baggage car is required to transport the equipment: and ner- eonal effects of -the actors, and standard , Pullman sleeping cars are utilized on all movements.! Tho foreign rights to "Mr. Wu" carry a royalty; far in excess f the payments to f American auth ors. The costs of stage produc tions have tripled In recent years, and the manufacture of the cos tumes is In - itself an expense of great consequence. v Salaries, too, have advanced, and players receive more money today than at any time in the history of the stage. Nevertheless, big dramatic" stars like Walker Whiteside realize that their earnings are based on their local reputation, and for that reas on they play cities like Salem year1' after year, until a profitable series ' of engagements covering period of years can -be playjod with the certainty of success, so long as the caliber of the perform ances is upheld. . Several players who were here last year with Mr.' Whiteside -tn "The 'Htttdu," will be seen In the cast of "Air. Wu.". Miss Sydney Shields will be seen as Lady' Cregory, an a emotional role In which she haa achieved great personal success.
