And India, no less agile and versatile than Larry, was on her feet, bowing to the guests and In dicating that this was a great pleasure and she would endeavor to please them. that he was taking India home. ' She was listing to starboard as she sailed out of the room, having first kissed Byrd and thanked her for the wonderful "Larry Browning, what In the world's the matter with you?" "That's my sheik kiss," he laughed, lightly. "Others use it. why not yon?"

(Special) Word has reached Sll verton that Miss Bertha Aim of Sllverton, who is attending the University of Oregon, will play first violin in the university or chestra this year. Fifty-two ap pointments to the orchestra were made after tryouts which lasted for a number of weeks. Miss Aim, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Aim of Sllverton, is a senior at the university. L think you're a beast! wouldn't ride with you now you were the last man on the earth!" But taut under this high ner vous tension, she still sat ; there like a steel ingot. Don't be a little fool, I Byrd. I'm sorry I frightened you." He tried to speak softly, but there was a cruel note underneath. "I'm really crazy about you, and you ought to know it. Please love me a little bit." "Let's not speak about It ,"sald Byrd, distractedly. The idea of having a married man declaring his love for her seemed t Byrd like the depths of iniquity. She wondered what she j ought to do about it- If she told Larry she was sure he would call! her a puritan and make light of the whole matter. He was probably making love to India that very moment. She longed for her father! For his broad, comforting shoulder and his understanding mind. Jack started the car and they drove the rest of the way in silence. i o o o Byrd and Jack were the last to arrive at the apartment. "What did I tell you?" asked bee n dilly-dllaying along the , 6 "'"T V . 1 road." Larry looked up smiling from the drink he was mixing on the living room table. "You sure look as guilty as two criminals." Larry's words ! corro borated India's. "Been taking a buggy ride?" "Give Byrd about six months, fSP with Jack's help " nodded India, "and she'll be hitting the high spots with the rest of us." Byrd's ability to enter into the zest of the narty was suddenly of little moment to her. The only thing that really mattered was that Larry evidently had forgotten that he had a grievance against her. He . had forgotten their quarrel! "Get some, more ice?" he asked in a friendly tone. And Byrd ran eagerly to the kitchen to help. Evidently they had all tried to be of some as sistance, for It was a mess. There were lemon and orange peelings piled high in the little sink, and the floor was sticky where Larry had stood squeezing them out and breaking up the ice. The kitchen was so tiny that a lit tle disorder made it look! like a battlefield. I And Larry was in his glory. The evening had reached that degree of accelerated motion that amused and delighted him. He called It "the shank of the eve ning." For Larry took a mischie vous delightt In pouring a suc cession of cocktails into people's glasses, varying each with his wide knowledge of "new ones," so his guests were quite . uncon scious of the exhllerated stage they were reaching. He got a huge enjoyment out of the antics this state produced. Something in himself was re leased by watehlng others kick over the traiL I And Larry set the pace for the whole party. His gay laughter brokA from room to room like light thunder distant heavens. His natural vitality, quickened by the succes- slon of "Golden Glows," ''Silver Phizzes," "Horses' Ncks;" and hair upon hairpins to resemble tails on a pickaninny s head, adopted a negro dialect, and strut ted up and down as "Topsy", then, changing as quickly into a little angel, she was weeping over Uncle Tom as "Little Eva." All this spontaneous and irre pressible fooling always moved Tiny to break out with some his trionic pyrotechnics, usually a Perfectly horrible demonstration of what she couldn't do. Tiny was now before them, an nouncing the rendition of "Baby Face," after the manner of a well known silver-tongued song bird. She began in a high soprano, wav ing her voice tip and down the scales, in what she was sure was a beautiful imitation of Galli Curd. "Ros-y chee-kes and tur-ned-up no-se' and cur-rly bs " she warbled, in a high, off-key pitch with her bleached hair and her Dhimo fiaure. which scalloped out now in grotesque wavy lines. Fred was perspiring over the job of bringing her back to con sciousness. "Tiny, petty," he coaxed. ' I m going to take you home and put you to bed. You can't stay here all night. Don't you want to get - rnnr nwn nice little bed. baby? Come on. honeybunch.l irv to neip at A pillow from Jack put an end to Tiny and her song. Byrd moved back and forth, helping Larry to keep the glasseo filled. Once when Larry came into the kitchen when she was scraping the peelings of lemons and oranges into the incinerator, he put his arms around her and held her close to him. "If your drink every drop nt this," he told her, holding his glass up to her Hps, "I'll give you first prize." Laughingly, because she was trying awfully hard to have a good time like the others, Byrd ! Then Larrv held her head back and kissed her lips, holding her so close that Byrd could feel his heart throbbing, kissed her wildly again and again, until she cried out in pain. "Larry." she cried, struggling. rH tuaced away at Tlny's one hundred and seventy-five pounds in vain. Her hands lay Inert, like soft round potato balls. Then he brought a wet tower and applied it gently to her fore head, eyes and the rest of her face. Soon Tiny opened her eyes. Finally she was on her feet, leaning heavily against Fred, and tears trickled weakly down her face. He managed to steer her toward the door. Byrd followed her into the elevator, carrying her wraps. She helped Fred get her Into his car. Byrd was white when she re turned to the apartment.. She never, never would get used to the wages of gin. Never! Jack had left during her ab sence, without saying good-bye. No doubt India had refused to go home with him. for she was still there when Byrd returned. You could trust fndia to man age things the minute Byrd was out of sight. Byrd saw Larry busily sweeping up something with a dustpan and broom. It wag a cloisonne lamp, the loveli est one that had been given to them, and India was telling Lar ry how frightfully sorry she was. She had broken it! Larry got his hat and explained and dried. Larry would be back. She cleaned out the sink again. She remembered it was the fourth time. Then she got out the mop and mopped up the kitchen floor. It was three o'clock, and still Larry hadn't come. Byrd was so tired that she left her clothes in a little heap in the middle of the bedroom floor. She crawled wearily Into bed. But tired as she was. she fconldn't go to sleep. Thoughts of Larry and India went racing through her head. She sighed deeply. She had never worked harder In her life, and she knew she had never had less fun. The liquor they had drunk had cost Larry twice as much as her grocery bill for the entire week. And the cost or the lamp! To say nothing or the labor of cleaning up! Even If Larry hovered over her as Fred hovered over Tiny, the evening would still have been ruined for her. Grown-ups. thought Byrd. had such awfully hard work amusing themselves. They hadn't the spontaneous instincts for play that children had. but had to go to endless effort to convince themselves that they were having a good time. Well, what would she suggest" by way of diversion, she asked herself, bitterly, to take its place? How would the entertain a group of Larry's friends without the help of a little gin? She realized, helplessly, that she had no solution. F.xrept to change the friends. It was about a twenty-minute ride to India's house and back. But it was long after three when she heard Larry's key in the door. (TO BE CONTINUED) Clouoh-Hufifon Coi? HWtory of Salem and tye State of Oregon THE claims of Great Britain to the Oregon Territory were based upon the explorations of Captain Cook in 1778, and upon the trips of Captain Vancouver in 1792, 1793 and 1794. The explorations, the British held, were in point of "accuracy and authenticity" far superior in every way to those of any other country. The work of Mackenzie was also cited, as we shall see in the next sketch of this series.
