As soon as he entered he knew the old time atmos phere was gone. True, the few men standing at the bar, or Bitting down In lite private cubby holes, had the mark of the sea upon them; but they wore Btcnincr men. Their bauds were white, and their clothes cut with scrupulous avoidanco of nautical pat tern. As he stepped to- the bar and called for a drink, he heard no sub dued rumble of men discussing his strange attire. In any real sailor-town bar somebody would, have howled at his dinner clothes.' Drake stayed halt an hour, and left full of amazement at the change that had come over Railortown in a few short years. He felt it would be useless to proceed by gradations. He hurriedly raked over his memory for directions, unwilling to ask, and plunged off through the dripping fog again. Now the street ho traversed was blatant with sound, garlBh with flaming keroBcne torches. Pub doors swung with a regularity that kept a shaft of yellow light stabbing across the fog blinded pavement. A happy sailor cruised by, a lange-hatted lady lovingly draped on each arm. Drake laughted contentedly. This was Sallortown, as of old. By a winding traverse that had taken him into a dozen colorful re sorts. Drake arrived, just bofore mid night, right in the thick of the life his heart craved for. ; A fat man wheezed after him. "Me, too, matey. That ain't no rjlace for a sailor no mere. Hobs racin': an' chuckin' fish about! Wot's th' world comln to I dunno," puffed the friendly stranger, heaving along' side and keeping step. Drake glanced at him as they passed against alight ed window. It was a fat little nan. A roly-poly little red man. A battered cheesecutter cap squatted him down solidly upon gray-shot red curls above a rubicund gray eyed face. The nat tered cap looked as if it were new, battered by design for better com fort: which it wos. ' "I was looking for The Chain Locker," said Drake, gld of the com pany profferred. The man looked all a sailor, anyhow. He did seem fat and overfed, perhaps, for a deep waterman; no doubt he had been get ting rid of a thumping payday; may be he got a bit soft, like Drake. "Me, too, matey," the fat sailor wheeled. "Cm alonga me, I'll show yer." He gripped Drake's elbow with his fat, short fingers; and Drake felt as if his arm had been seized in a rat trap. That grip surely had been i developed on many a wet hal liard and frozen brace. As if he had noticed Drake's apraisal of himself, and meant to return the compliment, the sailor looked over the light over- iNt All BtbHTS UlStWVlU , . L" coot, the sputtered dress trousers, and the fine shoes in one swift glance. "Gotchcr ticket, ain't yer? he wheezed. As they passed uuder a lamp he took another rapid glance. "Secon' mute?" he suggested. No body belonging in Railortown, except a new second mate, would wear clothes llko thnt. "Not nuito," Drake laughed. "Just visiting." "Ho! Mission bloke!" grunted the I fat man, and puffed along in silence for awhile until he looked up just! long enough to wheeze: "Thought you might be a noo secon mate. Look some'at like a suilorman. too." Alden Drake warmed to the little man. Here was a Bailorman of dis cernment! The night promised well. In a minute more they thrust through smudged' glass doors, beypnd which was muBic, sud stood together at crowded bar in a blue-hnzy room that shook to the tramping of many caper ing feet. AH the soft, lazy years dropped from him. This was Life! The music was lilting, blood tingling, even though it came from nothing better- than a German accordion and a fiddle of no ancestry. Sailors danced. Sailors sung. Men shouted to men of skys'l-yarders, of running down the Easting, of Cape Stiff. The to bacco smoke stung - his eyes, made him want to cough. A sailor wearing "Cm alonga me, I'll show yer." earrings danced decorously with a woman 4who smoked a cigar and cap ered with utter abandon... , Alden Talbot Drake was a long. long way from homo. He forgot that he had ever lived in a world of Aunt Angelinas, of perfumed I'nttys, of Chemlcnl Celestes, of dinner parties and doadly decency. (Continued tomorrow.) I Radio Programs ' "Hadio listeners are divided into ' several classes' says A. 8. Myers, ;j local radio expert. "There are the J ones who like to tuue in on a stu , tion, and if it is good, sit back in the rocking chair aod listen to it all eve ning. Then thero is ton distuuee fun, : who is tickled to death it be cun get a far eastern station, even If it comeo s in to faintly thnt be can ouly hear the '.call letters. Home like to listen to :' one station a while, and then switch , to another. That's one adruutaga to radio if you don't like the program in Los Angeles you can turn the dial of few notches and listen to Seattle, or Calgary." Has anyone in Eugene heard WPG of Atlantic City? It has been picked up by stations in other cities of the Willamette valley. TONIGHT'S PROGRAMS Paclllo Coast KGW Portland 485.1 meters; 5 p. in.

Thero are here nny number of men who have made their "pile" in com mercial pursuits and aro ready to lean bock and become fnmous. In other words, they have the urge to write tno stories or their lives so thnt they may become as beacons to others. But moot of these hard-headed giants of commerco aro also thick headed, being able to write little moro than their names.

Quite a few of her tips are a quarter or more. However, many of the patrons of that restaurant are girls and women who sit and chat for several hours. Thus she hasn't as great a turnover as tho Sixth avenue waitress. i One vestige of the "good old days" remains in an uptown barroom. The bartender mulls the beer by sticking a hot poker In It.

The first year of mnrringe. to bo quite honest, is usually not particular ly happy or comfortable. It la the time when two people must learn to sny "we" instead of tho selfish of tho unmarried. Tho sweetheart has become a wife. Once she wns mysterious and heauti- ful. Now she is benutiful only. She' haa become a mere woman who does , not know as much about getting up a mcnl as her husband would like her to know, possibly. And th husband. Once ho was thrilling as well as handsome.
