M. 11. Ski.ms. president of Safe
way stores, wlui has his homi and
headquarters ut Oakland. Califor
nia, was in Medford Thurnda;.'
evenim: to attend the district meet
Ing of the slure personnel of the
Medford district.
Medfurd is headquarters for sev
erul stores operated in souttier i
Oregon uniler the manasement ef
J. K. Mashburn, and the employes
SUTPf Si
M. IS. KKACGS
of these stores, including the locv.l
executive personnel, were present
at the meeting which wa of in
spirational nature.
As president of Safeway Stores.
Inc., M. D. Skas is the direct
ing head of about S.liui) reti.il food
stores, numerous warehouses and
several manufacturing plants. Tne
total volume of business said to be
done by the Safeway urbanization
in excess iC S:'niutO.(n.o annually.
They employ about l'i.OUO people,
some S4J.0iMt.iMi0 in capital and
se-ve a territory extending from
the Atlantic coast to and including
the Hawaiian Islands and from the
Mexican border up to and includ
ing western Canada.
The development of Sa f e w a y
stores from one small retail stor'
to the present vast proportions is
truly something to be proud of. in
lit i ii the concern was founded at
American Falls, Idaho, with one
small grocery store and in the
space of J 4 years is said to havr
become one of the largest food
concerns In the country.
The uniiiue feature of Safeway
stores plan of operation and one to
which a lai'Ku .part of its sucess is
attributed is that of a liberal
sharing of profits with employes.
I'mlei this plan Safeway store and
market managers receive a salary
and a (most one-third nf the net
profits which their units earn. In
addition to this, periodically stock
is offered to employes who have
reached certain grades and met
certain requirements.
Another phase of Safeway stores
policies is they are, to all intents
and purposes, local ' Institutions.
Mr. Skai-'s was one of a family
of twelve children whose father is
a minister of the gospel. He wis
born and raised in Missouri, secur
ed his first practical experience in
the grocery business In his father's
store. He later went io Oklahoma
and then to Idaho. He was Tor
number of yearn a resident of
Portland, ( regon. and removed
therefrom in
Commenting upon his visit to
Medford. Mr. Skaggs s.-.id. "I am
extremely j'lad that time and op
portunity have beeitt provided me
in which to make th'is visit to the
various northwest districts. We
have long regarded Medford as one
of l ho most prosperous and pro
ductive centers in which we
operate. In fad. our growth and
development in thfs section has
been so very satisfactory that we
hold all of southern Oregon in the
highest estimation and believe that
this portion of the country is des
ignated to devetop commercially
and culturally to an amazing ex
tent. "I net den tally. It may be of iri -tercst
to know that we purchase
h,rge quantities of the famous
Medford pears which are distribut
ed throughout our various units in
the United States."
Associated with M. I!. Skas In
the business of Safeway stores are
his brothers, L. S. Slumps of Den
ver, Colorado, and L. J. Skaggs of
Portland, Oregon.

JJOTMF.R smiled at my amaze-
nient. finding the niucli-soufihl
alibry book inside the cover of jny
Sheldon.
"Had to do It," she said. "When
1 met the man outside the drawing
room window I rau up to find you.
This lay on the floor. There seemed
lo he abDiit 10 seconds to decide
what to do"
"Oh. what Mick!" said I. "And
if hat a genius you are!"
There was a little plow of min
Rled fun and pride In her face
when she said:
"We seem to lurve walked ripht
Into it. don't we?"
"I'p to tho middle," I confessed
Flat this conversation with my
mother proved the last I was to
have for some time. And the
miserable end of It! She had run
those risks because of Veronica
Seiibroke. And now it appeared
Veronica was going u let us down.
' While we talked Millie brought
me a letter. I felt ns if somebody
had hit me between the eyes when
1 read It. Tho address given was
Just "London." It coutalned merely
three sentences:
iVar Mr. lircr.ofen
My Cither summon,d as to Lon

uriirnt business abnv.id. mid we
are tn 50 with liim. It is imposi

Ulueli water. Yours sincerely.
VERONICA SISAHKOKE.
I felt literally sick. This after
all that had happened! I priced
the uote to my mother and sat
down.
But there was hardly time tor
her 10 say:
"Tom there's more In this than
we can see"
A prolonged ringfng of tho boll
and loudly raised voices caused me
to rush Into the halt.
On the doorstep stood young
Fotherbury. aud beside him the
man Hallett. When he saw me,
he yelled:
"Ah, there you are. Now per
haps you'M tell us whero Veronica
Seabrolto Is."
"Perhaps," said I (0 Iho cub, "if
you don't slop shouting and remove
yoursolf from my premises, I'll
fling you Into Iho rotd for an 111
conditioned cad."
! And I walked out to him with the
appropriate gesture.
Fotherbury flinched visibly and
then backed down a step.
"What does this mean?" I asked
his companion. "I thought you'd
finished your nasty job."
It appeared that Mr. Hallett had
sallied out with two search war
Tants that afternoon one for
Randypoint. He had gone on to the
Seahrnkes' house and found It
locked and deserted,
"Mr. FoLherbu ry," he said,
"thought you might know where
they had gone."
"I don't. Good aftornoon." said I.
And I Phut the door In I lief r faces.
I turned, to see my mother In a
whispered conference with Millie
at the back of the halt. She
beckoned me.
"Go with Millie. she raid, mys
teriously. "Quick. Tom!"
A littlo quaver in her voice sent
me off without further question.
The girl went swiftly Into the
kitchen gardeu, I following. Then
she pointed to the hedge at the end.
"The American r ntleman said
you must go to hint: be daren't
show his nose."
Somerfield! Only some great
urgency could have brought Somer
field back to Woodcot. 1 thought
hard.
"Millie," I said, "go and get me
a bat and ask Mrs. Grcnofcn to
glvo you all the money she has In
the house for me. Don't lose a
second."
The astonished girl hurried back
lo the house. I found Somerlield
still carrying the camera, case and
stand, hidden behind the hedge.
"Ah!" be sighed his relief. "So
I'm In time. Grenofen. Phew! it
was a near thing "
"Why are yen " said I.
"Because I ura you so, of course:

TALENT HEALTH
T.M.KXT. Ore. rt.pt. It. (Spe
rial) A moetlntt of th county
Health ufilt of Tnlont Iiiih boon
lalloil by MIhr f'arlton for Monday,
Monday, Hi'itemhir 11, nt tlm hump
of Mm. C. K. tsto. Evoty mini-
men's and one of em I.axton's. 1
nipped up the bank aud into tho
wood and waited. They didn't
eomo far Just strolled up and
down, talking. That put the ltd
on what they said. If they didn't
find what they wanted with the
search warrant, they were going to
arrest you for being accessory to
the escape of a prisoner. They'd
heard from Scotland Yard of a sus
picious boat and a landing on the
French Coast. They're after Veron
ica, too. 1 stuck tlune for al!
eternity. Then tho cop came out
of your place and walked down with
young Koiherbury and they all
started off for the SehbfoVns. When
they've got Veronica, .they'll come
for you." i
"They won't get Veronica,"
said I.
And I told Somerfield hurriedly
what had happened.
"Good little Veronica!" he ex
claimed. Millie came down the path with
a hat In one hand and tho other
tightly gripping a packet. I took
both from her, told her not to sav
a word about me or Sotucrfirld to
anybody but mother, an.l then said
to him:
"This way."
We pinned into the wooJ.
How l.axtoti got on our trail we
could not guess. Hut he did.
The wood behind my house was
not very extensive a square mile
at the most but" it was dense with
much thicket. Without knowing it
as Intimately as Cousin John evi
dently did, I had a fair knowledge
of the He of tho land, and I guided
Somerfield to what 1 thought the
middle of the wood, where n little
depression came down through the
steeliest part of (he hillside.
In this hollow was a thick under
growth of thorn, haze) and bracken,
and In it a kind of low tunnel,
whether made by fox or badger 1
did not know.
Somerfield shook his bead when
I pointed it out to him,
"We can't caivl in there without
breaking It ii'i and shouting to the
world where we've gone."
"I know," said I. "but you can't
carry that about with you for ever."
I indicated tho camera case.
"Don't you think"
"Sure!" said be. "That's a cute
little Idea."
In that brake we hid the evi
dence for which Laxlon was search
ing, and uot a minute too soon, as
It proved.
For even whilo we replaced
branches and bracken fronds and
took our bearings, wo became con
scious that they were beating the
wood. There wero voices calling
to each other from a distance.
There was whistling. Wo looked
our questlous.
"It's a biggish wood," said Somer
field. "They've not got enough men

Somerfield argued that If we
separated we should double their
cluiuco. They would come In n line,
keeping touch as near as'thelr mini
bora would allow.
Wo moved away from the brake
100 yards lo a region were the tim
her grew blggor.
"1 wish I could sea a beech or
two," said Somerfield.
Thero were beeches In the wood.
I knew. 1 asked why he wanted
beeches.
"Beoch leaves keep dry and last
a long time," he said.
"Try higher up. I think I re mem
her a clump oT beeches, but It'
almost on the edge."
"No matter. We can double back
If It won t do."
Moving quietly and swiftly, wf
climbed tho hill and found tho little
group of trees. They were ra'her
sparse and tho junglo had dis
appeared. But on tho ground was
what Somerfield wanted 0 deep
mass of gold-brown leaves. We se
lecto: a spot Immediately behind r
big bole.
In the Irony of circumstance th
first voice we heard was Lnxlon's
He and Hallett were together. The
passed close to us or were ahotii
to pass.
I bad a nerve explosion ' when I
heard Lax ton cry out:
"Hullo! What's that?"
Their rustling footsteps nmonj
the leaves crashed so close to mi
as to bs deafening. Then the)
ceased.
"Ten . . . 20 . . . .10 . . . am
one, two, three, four, five, sis treas
ury notes, all In a uice little parte'
Wftll, well"
Laxtoit seemed to be shouting li
my ear. I thought it was all ovet
I lay on my face witli arm: stretche
out. Homo part of me mint he un

At the close of summer's day.

Of tho water nnd tho wind,

Seems to hang so cIohq above us
Coaxing lovers fond, to croon
Of tho futuro days, so splendid,
