THE IONE INDEPENDENT . IONE, ORE Friday, Jure 7, 1923. o 000000000000000000000000 It Was "Strictly S Private" S tOopjrrlsbU AFTEKWAHD, Connie Mathews readied that there was abso lutely nothing about the stranger to cause her to assume that lie was the Siirnge mechanic, except the various iuu1kps of grease daubed pictur esquely about his lean, tanned face. .Still, when one has battled with a re fractory Hlvrer for three hours and the is overdue two hours and you simply know that the train won't be even three seconds late, almost any errors might be excusable. Anyhow, that was how It was. Con nie made a lovely picture as she rushed forward to scold the supposed garage mechanic and ask him If there wus a Chinaman's chance of getting the flivver started to make the ten-ten. And for only a split second did he pause before he started rolling up his sleeves In business-like fashion, say ing: "Where are your tools?" Three minutes later bis long, lanky length whs stretched under the rebellious flivver. He kept '..ins; Connie crisp, military orders and she f u:;d herself, surprisingly enot:;h, obeying tliem iromntly . until he crawled out and. clamping down the hood, cranked the car and smiled warmly at Connie's amazed expression when the engine started churning noisily. frantically grateful to him, Connie dug out a five-dollar bill and stuffing It hurriedly into his greasy fist, called: Til get the change next time I'm down I'm too rushed now 1" And she drove madly down the hilt and around the bend toward the railway station. The lull, slim uau stood for a long moment gazing after the cyclonic de parture of the lovely girl and then bis amnsed eyes traveled to the bill In his hand. Ills short-clipped brown mustache end carefujly cut hair gave him a military look, despite the graceful rase of his long, thin limbs. He went slowly np to life shabby porch and leaning up against a pillar, stretched lils long legs before him on the worn boards and started to flit an old briar pipe with tobacco. And It was thus that Connie found him when she drove the fltwer Into the yard and got slow ly ont of It "Did you find the train goner he asked quietly, and at his gentle tone the girl slumped down on the low stone step and burst into tears. For a while he sat slowly polling on his pipe, his face serious and sober, end his eyes registering what his face was too well-schooled to show keenest concern and sympathy! Finally It all came oat In a flood of discontented, Jerky sentences and he listened, first amazed and then Incredulous. The girl, It seemed, had heard a cer tain singer over the radio night after night and had become so enamored of bis golden voice that, on the Impulse of the moment, she bad written him a glowing, enthusiastic letter. He had answered her letter and boy ishly thanked her for her Interest and appreciation and it bad been one of those letters that simply demand a reply, which she shortly wrote. Thus a great friendship had grown up and had lasted through two years, the man writing regularly and the girl answer ingand bearing bis wonderful voire night after night until she loved him. Then bad come the telegram. And at the last moment the hateful old flivver balked and everything bad con sequently gone wrong. "Does It matter so very muchT he asked ber gently, paying strict atten tion to the stuffing of tobacco Into the shabby old briar. "Oh, you can't understand ! I never cared for anyone before. I've been a hermit up here, writing and reading and never thinking of anything el e " "Are you sure you'd like him':" he went on relentlessly. "As If his p'ly. I-al appearances could out-balunce voire I Ami the wonderful Idealist: I found In his let ters!" the said hu '.:!ly. "Huve you a picture of him?" went on the man Interestedly. "Only his radio photos. I cut them from the papers !" And she went In to get the bunch of clippings from a book, together with the telegram. "11 m!" said the roan, noncommittal ly. "What did he say In the tele gram?" "Head It," she offered, tnlllhig 1 audibly. j "Doesn't any anything about a train 1 here Just says, 'arrive ten-ten.' Too bad you went to all that trouble!" The girl opened wide ber gray eyes and for the first time was conscious of him as something else than an emotional outlet Then she was em barrassed as he took out an old wallet and, carefully counting out four one dollar bills, a fifty -cent piece, a quar ter, two dimes and a nickel, handed them to her, gravely saying: "Your change. Miss Mathews," eft IONE INDEPENDENT JOB "put 1 0.0m mmerstnnn. Ami 1 uu Hie garage man? And you've just given nte five dollars In change I" , "Well," he answered, standing up very slim and IhII before her and look ing for all the world as though he'd like to eat her, "you see I'm not u ga rage mechanic. I'm One Gultiier, tlio radio singer who was due to ar rive at ten-ten. My plane ts over there In your hack field . . , and ynu might try kissing me If you real ly love me ts much , , . as I do you I" he said, gathering her close In his hungry arms and bugging her fght to him.

Do you realize the number oi ways that electricity can lighten the burden of household duties? Developments in the last forty years in the electrical industry have revo lutionized homes, industries trans portation and communication. Of the 28 million homes in the Uni ted States, almost 20 million now have the advantage of light and pow er. The facilities of the power com psnies and the many facilities now on the market enable all .these homes to employ electrical servants at rea sonable cost. These servants do not have to be humored. You do not have to give them "a day off. They work for you with the same efficiency all day, ev ery day. Are you enjoying their service? 1 Pacific Power C. T.
