THE SUGGESTION DICKY FORCEFULLY MADE TO : , MADGE ABOUT. CLAIRE 5 ?TUe one thing certain about my life with Dicky la that as to his reaction to any given set of cir cumatances I( am always highly uncertain. ' ' I "had no Idea when I had fin ished my defiant retort , to his stricture whether he would be furiously angry or laugh, heartily. But I expected the one of the two. I was genuinely surprised, how ever, to hare him give me a searching look, and then say in a careless, conversational , tone, al beit with a hint of ice in Its in flections: . " ' "Oh. of course, you were right! You always are. you know. And, publicity aside, we can't take the risk of having Claire annoyed by the pompous popinjay. She's bWn' through enough, poor girl, Vrithout having to face that blat ant ass.", : I agree with you thoroughly," I said promptly, a shade too promptly, I feared, for-Dicky not to guess that hjs "solicitude for Clalreuand his apparent disregard of me who had been "through" as much as she, was like a stiletto thrust in the sharpness of its wound to my self-esteem, i Was this another indication jus tifying the fear which had come to roe in Mr. Barker's, dining room, where I had I fancied that my husband's glances at Miss Pos ter held unusual Interest? Or my thought flashed back to the conversation I had overheard be tween Jhe two reporters, and then farther back still to an exclama tion of Dicky's: 'I i 'isb I could make you raving jealous once? was It possible that, he might be acting a role as I had done when I came to the Barker house? I had no chance for speculation upon the, subject, however, ' for Dicky was speaking j again, and I gave him: my undivided attention. Dicky ; Is Amused.

I warn you, however, if he does push his cursed Imperti nent mug into our business again I'll smash it1 for him, publicity or no publicity." ; "That will be so nice for Claire," I murmured silkily. : . :I'll take care of Claire.: he retorted. "And) I'm; not going to go out of my " way i to encounter the Pettit idiot. Incidentally how did the Barker lady flag him?" 'She locked him in the root cel lar." I replied demurely. Dicky stared at me incredulous- y. --r:-- . ' I TM..-; - - "No! Honest?" he exclaimed, and at my affirmative nod, struck one fist into the other, and Rave a laugh which' made. Harry Un derwood and Claire, Foster, as well as the station loungers, look curi ously at us. ;-) : -i "That's worth 'the bother of the whole cursed performance!" he ejaculated, while I registered the mental pootest that Dr. Pettit's discomfiture was - distinctly not worth the annoyance and humili ation to which I ; had been sub jected. "By jove! I'd have given a month's income to have , see him when he found out where he was!" - r h ,?.? - He turned over the idea with patent reflective enjoyment forarr few seconds before speaking again. : ' -i "Well, that's that!" 'he said crisply, at last. "Xow, the next thing Is what's to be done when we get to Kew. York? If Claire goes j.o her apartment' for the next few days, - it's dollars to dough- WOODBURN', March 17.

Can't you think of something?" . 5 His tone was the querulous one which always spells the end of his resources I and an appeal ; to mine. . I cudgled my brain for an idea. : "Perhaps we could find "one of those lurnished housekeeping apartments up near Columbia," I said. "I remember Leaving seen one of them advertised to be rented by the week what is it?" , For Dicky had made a gesture of self-ridicule, and after diving into his pocket held up a key for my Inspection. ; (To be continued) Corner Court And Commercial Streets DIRECTOR'S DEPARTMENT STORE BETTER GOODS FOR LESS Corner ' Court And Commercial Streets Do your shopping in Salem's hew and up-to-date Depart ment Store.

BM DISTRICT Farmers Along Pacific High way Nortlf of Safem Re port Loss to Officers Automobile thieves who break into garages and barns to strip automobiles of accessories are op erating in the districts on the Pa cific highway north of Salem, ac cording to the reports which are dribbling into the sheriff's office day by day. The main robberies were committed ; some time last week, while the reports were cot made promptly. I As a result the local officers have been powerless to give assistance or to -trace the thieves. ' Seven garages have been en tered by the gang, which operates in a systematic manner. The only clue which the officers are able to clearly state is the report of a lrge car, which wa3 headed south at a high, rate of speed. It is probable that the gang I operating by touching at communities here and there and selling the loot at some southern point, for instance San Francisco. ; The gang used the same methods in every robbery that has I f en reported. I Entrance was usually gained by forcing the lock on a door and en tering the garage to obtain their loot, which consisted, as a rule, ei batteries, spotlights, sidelights, tools, and other; articles that are stored In the garage. From every indication the workers were fast and did, the trork before the barking dog of the farmers and other disturbances were very loud. ? catching expedition "to 'the Sandy river Sunday. In company with Ben P. Taylor, - former mailing clerk of the Salem postoffiee, the two. motored to the Sandy river where the smelt were running and succeeded In catching all the fish they could handle. and to. witness the thousands of people who were on hand to seize a part of the sil ver hoard of the river. "Commercial fishermen are hog ging the best places of the river," declared Mr. Patton. "The man without a stand-in has no chance to get at the good fishing stands to make a catch. If one could have hired a boat and gone 15 feet into midstream, a catch - could have been made in a few moments. The riven was black with the fun, and the dipping of a net Into the water resulted in fish being land ed on the scows. "I have never seen so many fish in my life," declared -the local man, "but one must have the proper equipment to get the little fellows Into a box. It Is all poppy cock, this talk of catching thefish with hats or birdcages." MILK IS - -IDE BY OFFICERS State Traffic Men Travel 27,884 Miles During.
