“ I won’t breathe a word, and I

"Larry, you're the best crape-hanger

Larry bent a look of open disgust

Roseburg— Reports from the various
sections o f Douglas county indicate
that this year's crops will far surpass
those o f former seasons.
The semi­
cold wave o f last week was followed
by a warm rain, which has caused the
farmers and fruitgrowers to be jubi­
lant. Prunes and early fruits are said
to be in a most healthy condition, and
are far advanced for this time o f the
year.
Several fruit buyers have already
visited Douglas county with a view
to securing the season's yield.

“ How Is he?" demanded Stover.
“ He— he's trained to the minute. I’m

"Yes, a regular mile— seven thou­

“ Is ‘forty’ good?” queried Willie.
“ Good? Why, Salvator never worked

Speed appeared, partly clad, and
glowing with a rich salmon pink.
“ Good morning,” said Fresno po­
litely.
“ I came in to see how you
liked the cold water.”
"So that was one of your California
jokes, eh? Well, I ’ll— ”
Speed moved ominously in the di­
rection of the tenor, but Willie checked
him.
"W e put the ice In that bar’l, Mr.
Speed.”
"Y o u !”
W illie and Stover nodded.
“ Then let me tell you I expect to
have pneumonia from that bath.” The
young man coughed hollowly. "That’s
the way I caught ll once before, and It
wouldn't surprise me a bit If I'd be too
sick to run by Saturday.”
"Oh. no; you don’t get pneumony

“ And, besides,” Fresno added, "it

"Get that Ice-chest out of my room,

Farm Topics Discussed.
It seemed that a battle must be m
progress behind the screen, for, min­
gled with the gasping screams of the
athlete and the hoarse commands of
the trainer, came sound* of physical
contact. The barrel rocked upon Its
scaffold, the curtains swayed and
flapped violently.
"Stand s till!”
“ It's—it’» as c-c-cold as Ice!"
"N ix! You're overheated, that’s all.”
“ Ow-w-w! Ooo-h-h! I ’m dying!”
“ It’ll do you good.”
“ He’s certainly trainin’ him aome,”
said Stover.
“ Larry, I ’ve got a cramp!"
“ It did harden him,” acknowledged
Willie.
“ What’s wrong with you, anyhow?”
demanded Glass.
“ It’a not me, It’a the w-w-water!”
Evidently Speed made a frantic
lunge here and escaped, for the flow
of water ceased.
“ It froze d-d-durlng the night. Oh-h!
I'm cold!”
“ Cold, eh? Get onto that rubbing-
board; I'll warm you."
An Instant later the cowmen heard
the sounds of a violent slapping min­
gled with groans.
"Go easy, I say! I'll be black and

"Turn o v e r!”

miringly.

he spoke, Wally took hts
place beneath the barrel and
pulled the cord that con­
nected with the noxzle. The
next instant he uttered a
piercing shriek and leaped
from benaath tha apparatus, upsetting
Glass, who rose In time to fling his
charge back Into the deluge.
"L et me out!” yelled the athlete,
and made another dash, at which his
guardian bellowed:
"Stand still or I ’ll wallop you!

The heads of Stover and Willie,
thrust through the door, nodded with
gratification.
