Highest Price Ever Paid for Mohair The highest price ever paid for mohair in Oregon was secured last Saturday at the sales held at Ashland, Brownsville and Cor vallis. Some 18,500 pounds were disposed of at prices ranging from 42 1-2 cents a pound to 43 1-4 cents, the latter being the highest price known in Oregon.

Direct as her name, she refused to marry Henry Jasper. He stood before her a little awkwardly, but yet a nun that most women would have con sidered kindly. He was not forty, well off for the simple community, highly respected, and his wife, Caro line, hud been dead three years. He ing a mere man, how could e know that Ann, his old schoolmate, had suffered agonies when as a young man he had courted and married her cousin? No one knew why Ann had not married. She never wore her heart on her sleeve. Now, in spite of herself, her heart softened to him, noting how his hand milled his hair as it always did when he was mu lled and unhappy. f , "I never did think I could be sec ond best in any man's life," she went on rather cruelly. "And I don't see how at my age, thirty five, and I don't care who knows it I don't see how I can begin play ing mother to another woman's child. The boy will hate me, m ill children do a stepmother. No; ask eojne 4ilher woman." The man VET IK UU&URSEB - SESSIOS flushed anirrllv.

He tried one word more. "Ann, if you knew how I needed I juu w r..;r, .y ,u .uu u to love ?" Still she shook her head. He turned slowly away, climbed into his buggy and drove to his own farm. Ann sat thinking, for she remembered many things. She finally rose and went into her sis ter Molly's house, where she was visiting. in the e crisp ciitemicr morning Ann started out for a walk. She . . went over the hill w the hill where she used . . .., i-i II to play with Mo ly and with Henry and Carol, ne. Heaehing the top of he hill, she sat down m the falling leaves puslnng the heavy dark hair back from her face. . Down in the valley she could see Henry Jasper's house and barnyard. lie was hitching the bays to the buggy, and presently he drove away. A sudden temptation assailed her. cm... w.ii.. i.:. our nun iiriiiu jioiiv a lit iom . ..i i . recent housekeeper had eft. Mou d i , i ' . ,, , she go and have a look at things? , ,i . , b .

The door was locked, but she found th? key under the mat and entered. She could have groaned at sight of the kitchen dishes un washed, floor ditto, disorder rain pant. The sitting room, the bed room, everything was a sorry siglit. Things had been bad enough in Caroline's time, but now they were impossible. She had no compunction about entering.

By this time she had no thought of going buck till the child's father came. She moved about the kitchen her thrifty soul.

Great boy that he was, he snuggled to her, his unloved lit tle heart accepting the comfort, trusting this soft voiced, smiling, mother armed woman who called herself Aunt Ann. As she sat thus, her attention quite absorbed, Henry Jasper came, wearily to the kitefion door, his arms loaded with groceries, his face hopeless. He had been wondering where to look for Jimmy, who had Urn allowed that morning to go to a neighbor's. vThen with unbelieving joy he saw the clean mom, flie spread taVie, .1... ,.ir air nf rnillf lit. and, U'St , sip jve him , tagte 0f this c.iltn comfort, let him see tier like this and deny him a continu ance of it.

She saw here her place, her opportunity. Tin old hurt and anger had passed, and she wus again at heart the simple girl who had loved in secret this man who was at last hers.
