The Me which little Pierre lived with his parents and the boy, Bruce, could not but make a lasting Impression upon his sensitive na ture. Always he was forced to yield to Bruce, who, encouraged by Donovan, bullied the younger lad without mercy. It was no wonder that Pierre at an early age be came fanatical In his devotion to his mother. Pierre was four years old when Donovan deserted his wife and child, taking1 the boy, Bruce, with him. Several months later, when, quite by chance, Antonio Latour re ceived the news, Harriet and her little son were 'With a company playing a week's engagement In Cleveland. Cleveland Is not far from Orchard Hill, and that eve ning Antonio was In the audience of the play In which Harriet and her son would appear. With the news that Harriet was free his love had kindled anew and he bad hurried to her. There might still remain for them many years of happiness, he told himself, still be lieving In her love for him. In the flrstvact, Harriet and lit tle Pierre would be on together. In the second act, tbe boy would come on again without his mother. An- I BETWEEN STATES According to letters recently re ceived by C. E. Gates, the pro gram being carried out by the Northern California-Southern Ore. gon Development association is creating good feeling between California and Oregon. "While the major project of the association is establishment of a harbor at Crescent City, other work undertaken la meeting ap proval of the states also, as the following excerpt from a letter from Senator Hiram W. Johnson would indicate: "I congratulate you upon the work which you are doing and upon the relations to which you have contributed so much between California and Ore gon. Of course, I am heartily In sympathy with what you are doing." June 22, the secretary to Gov ernor James itolph, Jr., of Cali fornia, wrote: "The governor thanks your association for alt you have done to promote the splendid feeling which exists be tween the two great states of California and Oregon and hopes to visit Medford some time in the near future.'

Piet, from the first, had moth' the lad and had thought that (ovan loved him as if Bruce his own son.

Then f ld Tony says. "Pierre made bis ance on the scene." onovan's treatment of his wife cwid only served to intensify 'let's love for her son.

As he sat there In that Cleveland theater, waiting for the curtain, Antonio Latour felt that he was only' playing a part He .felt that the audience was watching him, and that the play which would fol low the rise of that curtain would be only a play within this larger play In which he and Harriet were acting the leading roles. When the curtain went up An tonio Latour sat like one In a trance, his mind on those unhappy events which had brought his stage career to such an untimely end. Then Harriet made her entrance, and the actor In the audience caught bis breath In a dry sob. To me. Old Tony says when be speaks of that evening, "Har riet was more beautiful than ever, she was more than ever an ac tress, but tbere was something wanting. In the vernacular of the stage, Harriet did not go over as she had In the beginning years of her stage career; she kindled no responsive glow In the hearts of the people. Then little Pierre en tered and I understood. I saw that Harriet had en dowed the child with all the native grace and genius that bad prom ised so much for her. Young as he was, Pierre had that same In ner fire, tho same uncanny power over his audience that his mother bad possessed. I remember think ing, not without sadness, that as Harriet had sacrificed our love for a stage career, she had now sac rificed her career for love of her son." At tiiu "lose of the first act An tonio went back stage and met Harriet and her son. During the second act Harriet stood in the wings watching the boy while the man who had loved her since child hood watched her. Without even speaking to Har riet of his love, Antonio returned to Orchard Hill. 1 (Cctr'tU. 1M. ft - ''" "d c'- Charity should begin t horns, but Tony ind Harriet find U.".r row It mleeed Orchard Hill. CRATER LAKE (Special) Re calling the time when the lodge was just a pile of lumber, and ladders had to be used in descent to the water from the rim, H. F. Brown while enroute from south ern California to his home in Tiger, Wash., visited the Crater Lake national park recently. Mr. Brown was connected with the park In 1913 and during his visit marveled at the many Improve ments since that time. He had not been in the park for 10 years but still remembered the various land marks of the rim area and pointed out the spots where trout fishing used to be the best. He spent several years ill the a'anger service and once knew almoHt alt the chipmunks, mar mots and bears by name. When Mr. Brown was active in the park, automobile traffic did not average over 1600 cars a year, as compared to 16,800 cars to date so' far -this season. Much of the truffle was confined to horse and wagon, taking, several i.days to make the trip over, poor roads. Today easy grades over -smooth oiled surface make trips to and from Medford possible in two and one-hulf hours. Mr. Brown -worked under Alex Sparrow, then the park superin tendent and now county Judge for Jackson county located in Med ford, and recalled that when tho superintendent caught a trout 25 inches long, he swore he would not fish in the lake again until he heard of some other angler catch ing a larger fish. Since then the lake has been heavily stocked with rainbow trout attaining good size, and limit catches today are not uncommon, with trolling the favorite method. By Leon H. Durst, (Copyright 1931, by the Associated . Press.) PART V. By the 4ime Wiley Post had achieved hla position as chief test pilot at the Lockheed airplane fac tory at Burbank. Cal., he had won something of a reputation as flier. One thing that singled the for mer farm 'boy out for attention was the -fact that he became 'a flier after he had lost the sight of one eye in a machine chop accident. He is believed by department or commerce examiners to be the only licensed pilot in the country who learned to fly after losing the sight of one eye. The medical examiner who ex amined Post when he obtained his license In August, 1928, said the depth of perception of the remain ing eye was excellent and that Post was (physically well qualified to fly, recommending that he be given a license. A special waiver was granted, which has been carried on In sub sequent examinations. This accident Is believed to have made Post an extremely careful flier since he perhaps feels that any type of mtehap might reflect on his faulty eyesight and result In the department rescinding the waiver. Post Is known to his friends as a very capable pilot, but one who often flies on "hunches." Although the weather may be perfect for a flight, If his "Instinct" tells him that he should not, he absolutely refuses to go up. One tells the story that Post had no use for a certain type of plane and that one day he was ordered to test one. He refused, Baying he had a feeling something would happen. Finally he was prevailed upon to make the flight and took the plane over the desert wastes of Arizona, where he was forced down 15 miles from the nearest house and 25 miles from the nearest town. He landed nenr a pipeline which he followed to the nearest settle ment, through the heat of a blls terlner desert sun. It was there that hla stubborn ness or dogeilnesH came Into play, for he refured to move on In -the plane until It had been equip ped with a new motor. He waited there for two weeks until a new power plant had been installed and he could fly away. His friends further sny that he often flies by "sense of feel" and that on cross-country hops he woijld neither look at a compass nori at maps. Fortunately, he did notlrely upon this system on his woad trip, for At times, over strejvhes of the flight, the Instru ments of Navigator Harold Gutty werlj all that saved, the Intrepid pilots from serious devlntlon from thetr course. Vlley also Is known as some thing of a "daredevil." although he has never been known to take any chances until the- groundwork has been laid thoroughly. Perhaps tho "daredevil" description is a hang over from the days when Wiley was wlug-walklug and parachute jumping with tho barnstorming "nl-r circuses" in the southwest. Post Is exceptionally thorough In -his preparations for any under taking, llje. neither smokes nor drinks, because he doesn't believe such habits fit In well with good flying. He 'keeps himself In good physical trim at nil times, and al though he Is but five feet, five Inches tall, none of the lndnlal or physical tasks of flying tiro hlin. Russell Pecht, who worked with Post on the coast, points out that one of the most dlffcult things a flier faces is taking off a ship heavily laden with gasoline. hen a plane Is heavily loaded with gas It takes tremendous exer tion to get the tall up,'!. Pecht says. "Only those who have taken 600 gallons of fuel off the ground in a shin like the 'Winnie Mao' know how i a man has to push on that stick! He must have the muscles of - a weight thrower, and if he doesn't get it up, It's too. bad.
