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

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

In the flrstvact, Harriet and lit

As he sat there In that Cleveland

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

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

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.

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

Inches tall, none of the lndnlal

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. I've
