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.
The report is current that a
small lot of mohair was sold at
Eugene at 46 1-2 cents a pound
but this could not be confirmed.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Slaughter
have moved from Independence
to Salem where the former be
comes manager of a co-operative
creamery.
Second Best
What Ann Said and What
She Did
By LOUISE OLNEY
. Ann Mark's eye flashed. 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

child. The boy will hate me, m ill
children do a stepmother. No; ask

his heart had gone out to Ann'
cheery strength, her wholesome,
healthy kindness. He tried one
word more.
"Ann, if you knew how I needed I

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

visiting.

Ann started out for a walk. She

A sudden temptation assailed her.

By this time she had no thought

he snuggled to her, his unloved lit

herself Aunt Ann.
As she sat thus, her attention
quite absorbed, Henry Jasper came,
wearily to the kitefion door, his

hopeless. He had been wondering

"You are Oh, Ann, you have

"Shall 1 hitch up and drive you
home, or will you walk?" So he
had taken her ut her word. It was
evident that he had no thought of
anything permanent in all this. But
the woman had. 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.
