hint to ber parents that be bad
ever harbored such tenderness
would produce a scandal.
Be was aware of the pain ha was
courting long before he alighted.
What had brought him I Curiosity
and an Instinct more magnani

well with her.

he bad made bis breach with San

He could restrain himself no

"How Is Santa?"
Mrs. Dawn replied, turning her
back to straighten a lamp-shade
which required no straightening.
"She arrived home today on her
first visit since her wedding. She'll
be down In a moment"
Clire braced himself.
Then Santa advancing demurely
and preoccupied. Dtterly pulseless.
A lovely ghost that was how she
Impressed him. Her eyes down
cast. Cool as marble.
His hostility crumbled. The
"Thou ehalt cota" of the Deca
logue became senile mumblings.
With unruffled casualness she
chose a cigarette.
"Who has a match! Hello Clival"
For tbe first time she seamed to
notice him. "Do you still carry a

His hand trembled.
"Hold It steady," she requested.
She glanced np with lurking mis
chief. ' Dinnes was announced. He found
himself seated opposite her. Con
Tersatlon took the form of ques
tions regarding how be had spent
his absence.
"It was mean of yon to pop off
like that," Santa took a hand.
"Like what!" He jerked upright.
"Never advising Mummy or Dad
dy and only telephoning me at the
last moment"
"No doubt CUre bad his reasons."
Her father strove to avoid con
troversy. "But when I saw him off," she
persisted unabashed, "It was agreed
that he would write."
Again her father came to the
fescue.
"Probably he realized that bache
lors don't correspond with other
men's fiancees."
"But must a girl lose all her
friends T" She gazed whimsically
Into dive's eyes. "Mummy actually
thought yon wouldn't want to meet
me."
"My dear Santa," Cllve felt that
he was grinning like a horse-collar,
"In reply to your devastating frank
ness. I'd be glad to meet you at
the North Pole, It that was the
rendezvous you appointed."
The tempest in a tea-cup had
blown over. Amiable chatting was
resumed. But the conundrum was
why she bad pretended that she
waa the one who had a cause for
grievance. Her poise waa discon
certing. In continually returning to
the sore toplo of ber marriage, she
must hare soma object Beneath
her g.-y mockery Cllve detected the

The Journal said today that tir

The sltustlon. It was pointed out,
results from a "fight among retailers

You should have seen her

create a diversion.
A grandiose story followed.
"But you're forgetting the blgb
spot Cllve maliciously capped the
pinnacle. "The best man. according
to the account 1 read, was reputed
to be worth twelve millions."
Mr. Dawn, who sat fidgeting dur
ing bis wife's bragging, pushed
back Ills chair.
We were plastered with dollar-
signs, my boy. Like tbe plants that
decorated the church, they were
all snatched back next morning."
They adjourned to the library
for coffee.
Mrs. Dawn patted Give's arm.
"What Santa said was true
we've all felt more than a little
hurt by your neglect"
'Being given my chance," he
feigned contrition, "made me care
less a- little high-hat As contact
man for my firm 1n Europe where
everyone has something to sell, 1
waa treated as Important And then
there were distractions."
"For Instance?" Mrs. Dawn en
couraged.
You might call them tempta
tions. In Vienna not to be roman
tto is to be dead from the heels np.
They're not ashamed over tbere, as
we are, of so many things that are
natural. It woe an eat, drink and
be merry sort of life. Everybody
Infatuated. Looking back," be lied
outrageously, "It seems that last
year Is the only one in which I
waa ever young."
That's no news to me." Mrs.
Dawn smiled remlniscently. "Till
Santa waa 18 I educated her
abroad, as you know. Often 1 close
my eyes and dream myself back
to Rome, Venice, the Riviera. Sun
shine flowers, beauty and tenora
with guitars, howling like tom-cats.
It was pleasant Europeans do
what we only dare jo think.
So what I claim is tbat Euro-
peanlzed Americans shouldn't be
Judged by our standards. They've
been trained to be happy, whereas
we demand that they aball be en
ergetic. By the way, talking of
Europeahlzed Americans, did you
ever hear Santa's husband men
tioned? Het lived for some time In
Vienna."
Had he? Dicky Dak was atlll a
purple patch In the American colo
ny's memory.
Never without a girl and always
a good looker. A tree-spender a
lavish lender. Handsome. Debonair.
Gifted beyond the ordinary; but
cursed with an aversion tor Indus
try. He'd defeated himself on sev
eral occasions by making his In
tention to marry the fortune rath
er than the heiress a trifle too ob
vious. Mr. Dawn relieved him.
"My dear Judy, you don't expect
Cllve to peddle gossip."
His wife squeaked like a mouse
whose tall bad been trodden on.
"You're ridiculous, trie If we
don't inquire, how are we to
learn?"
"The time for Inquiry," Mr. Dawn
spoke sternly, "was before Santa's
engagement Then, according to
yon, my desire to question Dak was
fussy Interference. She married
blindly, poor child. Whatever may
be the consequences, this belated
snooping doisnt mend matters."
All eyes were turned on the poor
child. She met their scrutiny radi
antly, as though amused by their
concern for her.
"What'i poor about me. Daddy?"
"Nothing, perhaps. I don't know.
I only suspect"
She continued witb her embroid
ery. It was exactly as though she
bsd rebuked him tor spying.
Concealing his loss of dignity,
her father held out his hand to
CHve.
"Sorry to bid you good-night I
hare letters."
His wife' rose wltn him.
At the door ehe addressed Santa,
lowering ber voice.
"You see. It's aa 1 told you. He
blames me."

TRUCK BILL SEEN

The freight truck and bus bill ac
cording to Mrs. Snider of Solder's
dairy. If passed will make It neces
sary to Increase the charges for pick
ing up cream from the dairymen In
all parts of the valley If further leg
islation is accomplished at the next
session of the legislature.
There Is no doubt but what there
la need of some reasonable regulation
of trucks but this bill can't be
termed regulation, says Mrs. Snider.
If passed It will accomplish Its de
sired purpose which Is elimination
or higher rates which la the desire
of the selfish Interest In back of It.
If all trucks In the state were not
to move a wheel for one week the
people of Oregon would wake up to
the realization that trucks are a
real value and would begin to appre-,
date the many 'savings- they have
brought about, In the opinion of
