CHAPTER XXIX The four porters trudged in with their banjos, costumed for a min strel act. The audience applauded vigorously. There followed a half hour of blended harmony, melodious spirituals, facetious dialogue, shuf fling feet. The passengers were de : lighted, revived. - The elixir of bored civilization entertainment was administered. - When' the porters quartet moved on to the waiting audience in the diner, a radio filled the club car with jazz from the coast, picked out of the desolate air of the desert to (-ratify! those restless humans who had nothing to' do except complain of imaginary discomforts. Couples who had paired off during the Jour Yiey danced together, swaying about the cramped space... Soon they were lost in the ecstasy of rhythm and embrace. - Jaxie rested in aurbri arms, dancinz across the desert to the strains of magic music, and remem bered with an ache of pity in her happy heart those brave pioneer women who once - plodded these weary miles in thirst and heat and agony of mind, with helpless babies at their breasts and fantastic hope in their souls. If they could follow ' the men they loved Into such a wil derness of danger : and hardship, could she not follow Kirby with blind faith that dismissed all doubts?

Tonight , lilt held no purpose or meaning without him,- To share life uwita him, to rest in his arms, to ' stand by his aide, to create new life with him, was her destiny. It made ' . her tearfully happy and Joyously ' aad to think ox it . Menin Gaines danced with his cheek pressed to Clarice's, murmur ing detached words of endearment in her ear. But aha was not lost in ; the rhythm of love. This experi ence was but a symbol of the larger ones to follow. His arms which held : her were the foundation of success, his words were paeans of praise from thousands of lips, his covetous eves held the admiration of minions. ' Her thoughts projected themselves I into the magnified future, as a small beam of light shines through a pro jector lens and enlarges' the film far away. The picture she beheld was most rratifymg. - Jaxie and Kirby said their linger f ng goodnight on the rear platform. The air was so cool that she wore a coat, with the deep fur collar hug- rinar her lovely face and wind-tossed hair. She might have been the per Bonification of speed, standing there beside him, not herself moving, bat "EXTRA m 1 1 Battleship taking i Jump In winning- the Grand National - Steeplechase' at Aintree, England Battleship, owned by Mrs. Marion StontL and American sportswoman, became the sec k BY C U Over to Silvertoa there lives j a sportsman who deserves to be -mentioned along with Izaak Walton, Hy Everding, Bobby Jones and Bing Crosby, to fnen- ttion only V few notables. This gentleman, whose snowy white hair belies his youthful spirit, was at one time, we have been told, a circus barker. Not a sideshow barker; he mast have worked in front of the big top. Later this rian reformed and became a saw filer. Now, you who are not conversant with sawm til ing may consider that rather a prosaic profession, bnt It is, on the contrary, literally a life of glitter and glamour both result ing from the friction of high speed carborundum wheels upon steel saws. As an occupation, it resembles banking in two respects hours and wages. So, with time on his hands, C. L. Bonney took up golf and mastered it. to the extent that he is one of the Silverton Golf club's most proficient mashie svdngers. But he brought with - him too to the sometimes oyer- - conventional golf links the vo cal enthusiasm of his earlier occupation, and also some of it 9 light-hearted viewpoint; win or lose, it's-a great Rme.- The reason we are thus care fully introducing Mr. Bonney to our readers, both of them, is this: We owe him an apology. It was FARE By EDNA ROBB WEBSTER swayed by the wind and the train. I m sorry it s almost over this trip," she told him, with regret in her voice. "It has been so wonder full" "What made it wonderful?' he demanded, laughing into her eyes. You know," she confessed. "But why do all the wonderful things in life have to end so quickly?" "billy dear, he answered, with tender reproach, "this isn't the end. t is only the beginning for us. "If all the rest can be as sweet as the beginning 1" "It will be I" he promised her, with an arm close about her shoulders. Clarice stood beside Mervin Gaines on one of the platforms where he had detained her in their passage from the club car. She suspected that his restless desire to move from one car to another was ess the result of the two days con finement in the train than an excuse for those secluded moments with her. Each time, he became more possessive. The situation both troubled and fascinated her. She had scorned the advances of many men, yet wondered why she seemed so powerless to deny Mervin Gaines the Intimacies he claimed with grow ing insistence. - She was almost glad the moraine would bring an end to this strange experience, and that she would then arrive at something? like reality. Jtiis nanas lay along her arms, holding her close as he stood behind her. They faced the windowed door. watentng- the world fly past them. ms bps rested on her hair, soft and saining and perfumed. -The trouble with you. little eirl.' he was telling her, "is that you wont let yourself go. You struggle against yourself and against life, I can onderstand that. Yon have been fighting alone for so long to achieve what you want, that von have forgotten yourself. .You are starved, and dont know it. You need to live, and live deeply, If you would be a treat actress." He turned her toward him and smiled down into her eyes. She returned his smile, but stood tense within the circle of ids arms.

His deep, resonant voice moved Clarice a little despite her fear. "Of course, I should have found you sometim it had to be; but to be the one who takes you into the city of your dreams, to open the' doer for you my darling! No doors shall be closed to you hereafter I prom ise." Clarice trembled with happiness, and ventured to lay her slender white hand - against his smooth shaven cheek.

It seems that in urging the Salem Golf club boys two weeks ago to sign up for I the team going to Silverton last Sunday, we wrote as follows: Golfing ability is not especially a requisite. Fairness is our motto, so we'll do the only thing possible; we give Mr. Bonney full leave to. pablish in the Silverton paper the same phrase in drum aUaf;--Bp- a team to eome over here west Sday.

Al lthe games were scheduled for seven innings. heart and she drew away from him. Why," she marvelled uncertainly, are you doing all this for me? I can't believe it's true." He laughed happily. "Neither can believe that by the merest chance have made the professional find of a decade and found love all in youl Can I tell you why? No more than you can tell me. When you have the ; answer to that, my dear, you will know all there is to know. You will be wiser than all the rest of the world. But why do you question it? Did you question the obstacles with which you have struggled alone for so long? No you accepted -them and conquered them. Then why not accept this miracle and enjoy it to the utmost? You ask me why. ... IH answer you. . . ." He lowered his mouth to hers. "Isn't that an swer enough? If your success proves itself as well. ..." But perhaps it won't. I'm afraid...." "Only time can prove that. It has to wait. But I can't wait for you." "Just until I have started. . . . she protested. "Let me forget every thing for a while, except my work. I want to work so hard," she pleaded fervently. . "You will have to my dear. Suc cess I cannot s-ive you only oppor tunity. But you will take the on and make the other a reality. It is love that cannot wait." His eyes burned down into hers. She stirred in his arms. "It will have to vfait, Mervin."; "Not if you are the real woman I think you are." His voice was husky with emotion. "It is tonight or never." ' "Oh no!" "Is ambition worth the price?" "I don't know. ..." "If you would please me. ..." He was tender, but his voice held no possibility of denial. "I do want to please you I do!" ; An hour later the dressing room was ouite deserted. Clarice . was srratefut for that privacy. - She dropped her clothes into a chair listlessly and sank down into the other seat with a complete at titude i of ' weariness, Her. eyes stared at the reflection of her love liness in the mirror. But they saw. instead, the determined little girl who had come this far alone: strug gling up the steep inclines, flounder ing in the ruts of despair, turning a deaf ear to temptation, enduring the pain of cruel loneliness. How strong that little girl had been. Hard as nails, people had said of her. Selfish she had believed herself to be and proud of it. Selfishness had been her armor in disguise, Only by its pro tection had she won out with the odds of life against her. - Yes, Clarice had come a Ions way,. alone. Now the door to success stood open for her only to require the sacrifice of her heart and soul as the price of admission! .
