Oregon, Wednesday Morning, November 13, 192 PAGE SEVEN V f. rim 1 he Mas ked A ostes 'it by BLAIR STEVENSON CHAPTER XVI Five in the morning bad come before the fua began to dwindle. Then Stelano, noticing first of any one for be bad been waiting for It that the ebb of the merrymak ing was setting in, glanced toward the leader of the gaucho band and the man, with" hia crew behind him, rose from where he sat and led them out into the grounds and away, the beat and strum of their instruments dying as they were gathered into the silence of the lir trs "Spoil sport," cried the girl' Stefano had retrieved from the regions upstairs. "Quite so," r.e called back to lier, "but come have an egg with me, what?"' At once his servants began set ting up bridge tables with snowy cloths and heated plates upon them. Coffee urns were brought in, along with eggs, muffins, lamb kidneys, chops, and racks of toast. And more trays of mixed and compounded drinks for who ever regarded coffee as flat and unprofitable or considered that he or she required a hair of the dog. "Old Ramon doe3 himself well" remarked a cleck haired blonde girl and tossed down a cocktail. "Now this is what I call the real simple life in country wilds. Cock tails for breakfast. All rignt what are cocktails for? Say Ste fano I'm coming back tonight and Lave you shake me some more." Stefano got right up in his place and clattered a fork against his plate for attention. ' Corking idea. And so is eTery "body. What fay henceforward we make it open house? Continuous show like dear old mother earth spinning around? Mark me all of you from tonight on. I don't even call one of you up. Every night at midnight sharp I'm here and so will be the band. Don't write, don't telegraph, Just romp In. That understood?" A storm of acclamation and ap plause greeted him. More tray3 of liquids were brought in. A girl besides Nathalie turned to her. "Where tell me because I want to go there do you South Amer , leans get your money? Does it Just ooze out of the ground in the Argentine or does it rain down on you there during the rainy sea sou?" "Don't be silly pretty Polly," a young man beside her cut In. "It'll ooze out of the ground-right here in Long Island if you know the right spot to sit and watch it." "Where?" demanded the girl, laughing. "That'd be telling." he replied I'll tell you after it's oozed and I've grabbed it all. He Fpoke a little slowly and with a funny solemnity for be had looked long and lovingly on many silver trays. "Monty's dreaming again. Poor old Monty," said the girl and turn ed to Nathalie again. "He's as poor as a rat but of course you wouldn't know. He and his people are land poor. They own a lot of perfectly useless land that Monty's grandfather bought all around Long Island years ago and every time Monty gets spiffed he things somebody's going to payAha millions for it. He had to ell ihe last pony he owned last week to help pay the taxes on a perfectly hopeless tract of land right next to this. My dear that reminds me do you by any pos sible chance know Nathalie Van Slaick or who she is?" Nathalie shook her head, not' trusting herself to speak. The girl went on: "She's an other tragedy. This place is hers and it's much worse to own than Monty's because there's a house on it ani the taxea are higher be cause of that. Someone-said the other day that she's going to lose it, which convinces me It must be utterly worthless. If there was any value to it anywhere a per fectly merciless aunt she has a Mrs. Pernberton Swayne who Is positively filthy with money but a born gold-digger neverthless would manage to find out about it and get the place away from Na thalie for a song. But she doesn't seem to want it so I guess it's just a mess." Monty, sleeping between drinks, woke up for a fresh one In time to overhear the name of Mrs. Swayne. "Misk'z Shwayne," toasting her. "Don't you be 'fraid of Mish'z Shwayne. I'm behind you." "He means." explained the girl Polly, "that Mrs. Swayne has been trying to marry one of her girls to Stefano and that when she hears about you she'll go insane with rage. She'll come in here some night, too. The moment she hears about you which she's sure to because everybody'll be talking about you by tomorrow she'll come charging in. Now, my dear. I'm telling you this because I think you're perfectly heavenly we all do. Don't even talk to her. Freeze her. High hat her. Let Stefano handle her. He knows how and has so much money that he can do It." The young man who was in the fourth place at their table he was a remote cousin of Nathalie's but obviously hadn't a suspicion of who she was nodded his head in agreement. "Polly's perfectly right. Lay off her, Senora. She's an ill one to cross. I know. And it's cocksure lit' ii-W DEFECTIVE HEARING A BARRIER TOPROGRESS Dr. Copeiand Decries the Belief of Some Parent! That Deafness in Children Is Inevitable Early Care Will OfteryEffect a Cure. By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M.D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commistioner of Health, Vev Tori City. THERE is a "week for this and another for that. "Apple Week," "Clean-up Week" yon know all abont such weeks. Last Spring there was observed the first of the "National Bearing" weeks. This was devoted largely to the children and was intended to point out the significance of deaf ness as a handicap in child life. It has been difficult to overcome the inertia of the public Deafness has been accepted as inevitable. It is common to hear about deafness "i - S.. I to attempt a cure." AX ' 'T. k?A When we find out this defect is widespread, then it is we become alarmed about it. ai ine suggestion of the Bureau of Education of the U. S. Department of the Interior, certain sur veys were undertaken to find out something ap proaching the facts. The report is astonishing and disconcerting. It shows that in the United States alone there are more than three millions of children who have impaired hearing. That is terrible! Of course there are different degrees of deafness. It may be so slight as to be unsus pected by the child. But sooner or later it becomes a positive barrier !to progress. No one need be told what disadvantages are suffered by a deal iehild. His education is affected, of course. Serious economic and wial problems are created. Deafness has a distressing effect Upon the disposition. Many a deaf child becomes morose and retiring.

I was there yesterday after noon." Monty, who possessed the envi able gift of passing from ineb- rity to almost perfect' sobriety If granted 20 minutes sleep, came out of his trance state and announ ced that he was about to have an "eye opener" as dawn was follow ed by clear daylight and the party began to break up. "I've got to have a clear head," be asseverated. "I'm to meet a man at Mineola at nine o'clock who wants to talk business with me about some land. He'll have his chisel with him. I'll need to have my head clear like a belt" "Like a dumbell. Poor old Mon ty," laughed Polly as they all rose from their places. The waiting chauffeurs outside, fortified by the breakfast to which Stefano had had them in, were cheerful and- patient as the crowd which had filled the house for six hours came out Into the morning and were received into their var ious cars. A few of the night rev ellers found the going down the front steps a little difficult and two of the girl3, who had resisted all ordinary efforts to awaken them, were carried to their lim ousines like babes in arms. Stefano, in a polo overcoat over his dress clothes, and still spick and span, left with the others or, to be exact, In a car right behind the last of them and after letting virtually everyone understand clearly that he was going to the club. His parting with Nathalie was public and perfunctory. "Cheerio topping old party, wasn't it? Until tonight at the witching hour. Sleep well and thanks no end." Nathalie went slowly upstairs and into her suite guarded by its steel door. She thought of John Sloan as she looked out at the firs crowding to within a foot of her window.. She told herself she would writs kim after she had slept. But as her head touched the pillow it was the Imago of Stefa no, handsome and debonair la his inimitable raiment, which rose be fore her as she drifted off to sleep. Yet It was Sloan that Nathalie thought at once when she awaken ed late that afternoon. The sighing black green boughs of the firs outside her windows- reminded her of him Irresistibly, Firs, Inextricably associated with him in her mind because of bis declaration of love for her on that night only two nights ago when he and she waited in his car for Stefano in the road outside, would remind her of him always. The chiming clock on her man tel struck musically and she turn ed to it and noted the time a quarter to seven. (To be continued tomorrow.) LYNCHING IS URG ED FOR WOMAN SUYER CAMDEN. N. J.. Nov. 12-(AP) Gladys May Parks, also known as Mrs. Baker, charged with kill ing one child and suspected of slaying another Monday re-enact ed how she burled the children in different parts of New Jersey and incidentally witnessed the wrath of a group of women who cried out "lynch her." At National Park, after Miss Parks had- shown how she had disposed of one child's body, she was startled when the women. who made up a crowd of 1,000, surrounded the police automobile In which she was and shouted threats against her. "Qive her what she gave those poor children," one cried. An other with a bunch of flowers in her hand, shouted "kill her and I'll put these on her." The accused woman, well pro tected by policemen and detect ives, was never in serious dan ger.

Vegetables mm Decoration, w E thought Helen amusing, a natural wreath for a centerplece-i but eccentric when she used vegetables Instead of fruit as table decorations for her luncheons. But Helen had a theory and the results were lovely to behold. "Why stick to fruits for decoration, when vegetables provide a much wider range of color?" she de manded. "You can choose from ail the colors of the rainbow among vegetables, and much more Interest ing shapes, too. Orange and yellow carrots, purple eggplant, scarlet to matoes, green cucumbers and on and on. Think of all the delightful, fantastic shapes and textures. Quaint squash in white or yellow or striped effects graceful spears of asparagus, and to give a fine natural touch, set a few fresh mushrooms In a bed of moss. Give me a hand tome white cauliflower with its much mors refreshing than air waxy-looking oranges and polished apples." And recently this idea seems to be spreading indeed at a hot-tin cultural exhibition one of the' gTeati attractions was a centerpiece for a luncheon table a beautiful deep blue bowl containing perfect to matoes In a bed of assorted edible salad plants. Striking but most cheerful effects are obtained by combining some of the beautifully colored vegetables with friuts. Tomatoes and white grapes are a challenging decoration.

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 12 (AP) Shaking convulsively a? intervals in the Travis county jail, John W. Brady, one time Judge of the third court of civil appeals and a leader in the civic, religious and official affairs of Texas, awaited tonight the process of the law he sd often expounded. Against him is a charge that he fatally stab bed Miss Ehiia Hlghsmlth, steno grapher for the supreme court commission of appeals, late Satur day night. While attorneys from many parts of the state sent offers of assistance to the grayhaired, brok en man of 57, who sits behind the bars that once confined the noted writer, O. Henry, it seemed likely that the accused man would not get a preliminary hearing on the murder charge until the latter part of the week. Brady's counsel stoutly main tains that his client ha3 no recol lection of having killed anyone, but said that the attorney drank ueavuy oi liquor auer oe auena I ed a football game Saturday. Jail attaches said Brady appeared to be in a daze when he was taken to Jail. Miss Highsmith died early Sun day morning, an hour after she had been stabbed. Her attacker ac costed her in front of her apart ment shortly after she had alight ed from an automobile in which she had been riding with an Aus tin salesman.
