Numerous questions were asked
concerning rarloua types of life in

confront the average business roan.
George Hensleman announced the

all Rotarlans to attend. 6ecretary
Ed Bhockiey Is president of the local
choristers organization and several
Rotarlans sre Included In the personnel.
Rotarlan John Boyle, In behalf of
the Klamath Falls Rotary club, pre-
sented sn attractive golf trophy to
George Hensleman for winning the
Inter -city Rotary golf tournament
held in that city aereral weeks ago.
Mr. Boyle, who Is past president of
the Klamath Rotary club prefaced
Thar In ths passage stood Dak-
know how It Is you're been mar-1
rled; no husband believes his wife
has brains. All right Only for a
minute. Olad to see you."
"What on earth made yon say
that?" Cllve rested a hand on her
shoulder.
She smiled up.
"What elsa could I sayt Yon wel
comed him 10 heartily yesterday.
Just because wa can t use him Is no
reason for being rude."
In the drawing-room, while they
waited moodily for Dak's appear
ance, Santa renewed the Interrupt
ed conversation.
"Let's hear more about the dream
'cottage. I lor listening to you
Srhen you enthuse."
"But you treat tne Idea so frivol-
ously, Santa. There's nothing ridic
ulous about owning a horn where
one can sea green things growing.
Living at a distance has one great
advantage. You can't be trespassed
on by erery Tom, Dior- and Harry."
"Don't worry over DIoky," she
soothed him. "Plead your work.
I'll get rid of him."
' "Getting rid of the first husband!"
Cllve shot her a satlrls glance.
"We've been trying to do It since
. the day wa married."
The door-bell rang. She placed
(her hands on his ah oa Id era.
'"Always yon and I, my lorer. Make
him see that yon value me it he
eouldn t"
There in the passage atood Dak,
blond and Imposing. No man could
hare looked more frank.
"It's raining," ha announced,
baking a dripping umbrella aa evi
dence. "it never rains but It pours."
Cllra relieved him of the umbrella,
carrying It off to the pantry where
It could do no damage.
On his return, his guest greeted
him, "That remark ot yours could
be applied to my visits."
"0, I don't knowl" CUva mum
bled. Santa, with mora social adroit
ness, protested:
"Don't he silly, Dicky. Yoa tried
to do Cllra a gsod turn. Why
houldn't yon callt"
"No good beating about the bush,"
Dak settled himself comfortably,
"I't been thinking about you two
play the hypocrite. Till last nigh
I could cheerfully have brainei
you."
Unruffled, Dak enquired, "Anc
how did last night change your mur
derous ambitions?"
"I'd Imagined yoa as a monster.'
"There's more to it tban that,
Santa thrust In her spoke. "Cllve
was sorry for you."
"Hal" Dak lit a cigarette. "No
we're getting somewhere. You can',
hate a person tor whom you're
sorry."
Suddenly Cllve grew impatient.
"Why this blather? I harbor nc
resentment; neither does Santa. If
that's what you cat-e to hear, I're
said It."
Dak noddod benevolently.
"Seeing you and Santa so abso
lutoly mated has set my mind al
rest. Ot course my legal respon
slblllty tor her is ended. At the
same time, having been the cause
of her misfortune To see hei
happy at last with the right man
has eased my conscience."
"Thanks for the endorsement"
Cllve rose.
"I feel I can trust her to you.'
Dak stared at ths ceiling.
"Which makes aa little difference
as it I said that I trusted the con
duct of the unlrerse to God." CUre
offered his hand In a gesture of part
ing. "And now that your mission
on earth Is ended"
"Ah, I forgot yon had work."
Scrambling to his feet, Dak wrung
Cllre's hand. "After my wretched
showing, what a satisfaction It must
be to Santa to hare a husband who's
Industrious!" A gust of rain slashed
the window. He re seated himself,
making his new role ot friend ot
ths family more erldent. "Till the
storm lots up, I'll chat with Santa."
Clire folt that ha was dismissed
that he was being politely In
formed that his room was preferred
to his company. It waa slightly
comic As he left he sought his
wife's eye. She was well away with
a gripping question.
"Surely Dicky, after all the prom
ises you made at St. Jean you're not
still drifting?"
(CeprrllU nil-Hit, Cnhflll Demiee)
Santa's conversation with Dicky,
tomorrow, takes a Strang turn.

PORTLAND, No. 30. The annual
national convention of the American
Legion held here last September 12 to
IS came within 111,944.30 of "paying
out," and but for the general eco
nomic upeet that curtailed antici
pated attendance the undertaking
would have been more than self-sustaining,
according to a letter being
mailed to convention subscribers over
the signature of H. C. Brumbaugh,
president of the Oregon national con
vention commission.
Underwriters of the convention,
called upon when the convention
fund Indicated a deficit, forwarded
an aggregate of $18,373.50 to the
convention treasurer. This was
$6430.30 more than sufficient to take
care of the costs not defrayed from
other sources, and Brumbaugh's let
ter accompanies return of the pro
rata share of this amount to the sub.
scrlbers.
