In Clackamas 29 cases are being handled at an average monthly outlay o f $665, while in Jo sephine 20 cases are taking only $320 from the county coffers. Their aver age monthly pension is $18 to $20. Marriages, discovery o f property- owning beneficiaries and other devel opments occasionally cause some of the recipients to be dropped from the rolls, but in all counties the enforce ment o f the pension act has been feat ured by the number of ineligible ap plicants rather than by the number of really needy cases. Several o f the counties have found it necessary only to make small provision for the law in their annual budgets. Judges in sev eral instances have pronounced the law a good one with careful adminis i tering. Color Line Is B arred From Oregon Schools SYNOPSIS.

Perhaps I ’ll tell her when Culver comes.” “ I have heard Culver speak of him, but never as an athlete. Have you and Mr. Speed settled things between you, Helen? I mean, has he— said any thing?" Miss Blake flushed. "Not exactly.” She adjusted a cushion to cover her confusion, then leaned back complacently. “ But he has stuttered dangerously several times.” A musical tinkle of silver spurs sounded In the distance, and around the corner of the cook-house opposite came Carara, the Mexican, his wide, spangled sombrero tipped rakishly over one ear, a corn-husk cigarette drooping from his lips. “ It’s that romantic Spaniard!” whis pered Helen. "What does he want?" " It ’s his afternoon call on Marle- detta, the maid,” said Jean. "They meet there twice a day, morning and afternoon.” "A lovers’ tryst!” breathed Miss Blake, eagerly. "Isn’t he graceful and picturesque! Can we watch them?” “ ’Sh-h! There she comes!” From the opposite direction ap peared a slim, swarthy Mexican girl, an Indian water-jug balanced upon her shoulders. She was clad In the straight-hanging native garment, belt ed in with a sash; her feet were ’ In sandals, and she moved as silently as a shadow. During the four days since Miss Blake’s arrival at the Flying Heart Ranch she had seen Marledetta flit ting noiselessly here and there, but had never heard her speak. The pret ty, expressionless face beneath the straight black hair had ever retained Its wooden stolidity, the velvety eyes had not laughed nor frowned nor sparkled. She seemed to be merely a part of this far southwestern pic ture; a bit of Inanimate yet breath ing local color. Now, however, the girl dropped her jug, and with a low cry glided to her lover, who tossed aside his cigarette and took her In his arms. From this distance their words were Indistinguishable. “ How perfectly romantic,” said the Eastern girl, breathlessly. "I had no idea Marledetta could love anybody.” “ She is a volcano,” Jean answered. “ Why, It’s like a play!” "And It goes on all the time.” "How gentle and sweet he is! 1 think he Is charming. He Is not at all like the other cowboys, Is he?” While the two witnesses of the scene were eagerly discussing It, Joy, the Chinese cook, emerged from the kitchen bearing a bucket of water, his presence hidden from the lovers by the corner of the building. Carara languidly released his Inamorata from his embrace and lounged out of sight around the building, pausing at the farther corner to waft a graceful kiss from the ends of his fingers, as with a farewell flash of his white teeth he disappeared. Marledetta recovered her water-jug and glided onward into the court in front of the cook-house, her face masklike, her movements de liberate as usual. Joy, spying the girl, grinned at her. She tossed her head coquettlshly and her step slackened, whereupon the cook, with a sly glance around, tapped her gently on the arm, and said: "Nice li’l gaily.” “ The idea!” indignantly exclaimed Miss Blake from her hammock. But Marledetta was not offended. Instead she smiled over her shoulder CHAPTER I.—Continued. “ Nonsense! Robert Keap Is only | twenty-three. Why, she hardly knew j her husband, even!

"H a !” said he, scowling at Mario- detta, who had retreated, her hand upon her bosom. He exhaled a lung ful of cigarette smoke through his nostrils fiercely. "You play wit’ me, eh?" “ No, n o!” Mariedetta ran to him, and, seizing his arm, cooed amorously In Spanish. “ Bah! Vamos!” Carara flung hsr from him, and stalked away. “ Well, of all the outrageous things!" said Miss Blake. “ Why. she was actu ally flirting with that Chinaman." ’’Mariedetta flirts with every man she can find,” said Jean, calmly, “ but she doesn’t mean any harm. She’ll marry Carara some time— If he doesn’t kill her.” "K ill her!” Miss Blake's eyes were round. “ He wouldn’t do that!” “ Indeed, yes. He Is a Mexican, and he has a terrible temper." Miss Blake sank back Into the ham mock. “ How perfectly dreadful! And yet—It must be heavenly to love a man who would kill you.” Miss Chapin lost herself in medita- tlon for an instant. "Culver Is almost like that when he Is angry. Hello, here comes' our foreman!” Stover, a tall, gangling cattle-man with drooping grizzled mustache, came shambling up to the steps. Hs dusted his boots with his sombrero and cleared his throat. ’’ 'Evening, Miss Jean. Is Mr. Cha pin around?” “ I think you’ll find him down by the spring-house. Can I do anything for you?” "N op e!” Stover sighed heavily, and got his frame gradually Into motion again. "You’re not looking well, Stover. “ This Grubsllnger Thinks Run.” Ha Can Are you 111?” Inquired Miss Chapin. “ Not physical,” said the foreman, checking the movement which had not yet comunicated itself the entire length of his frame. “ I reckon my sperret’s broke, that’s all.” "Haven’t you recovered from that foot-race?” "I have not, and I never will, so long as that ornery Centipede outfit has got It on us.” "Nonsense, Stover!” "What have they done?” Inquired Miss Blake, curiously. “ I haven't heard about any foot-race.” "You tell her,” said the man, with another sigh, and a hopeless gesturo that told the depth of his feelings. “ Why, Stover hired a fellow a coupla of months ago as a horse-wrangler.
