JACOBSON did not struggle. She produced a check and a fountain pen and wrote in alienee. Meanwhile Mark hod wrapped the ketcbea In a napkin and tied them with the string from ono of the silvery balloons tethered to the table. By the time the duchess had come Tound to see what was going on, there was sothlng to see.. So Mark drew her Instead, on the back of the menu. He drew ber as he thought she would like to be drawn a smile orer a bare shoulder, excessive length of eyelashes, eicemlve trans parency of skirt. But he was getting exhausted. He calculated that be could only do another couple ot lm- "May I borrow that sketch?" asked McLoughlln. ' presslons before his exhaustion be came apparent In bis work. In the event he did three and after a glass ot ohampagne a fourth. This waa ot the enormous and frenzied negro conductor of the Da Capo band. " Then be made the mistake of drinking a good deal ot everything that waa pressed upon him; and gradually the flattery and the laugh ter and the muslo and the chatter all merged Into an Irregular drumming rhythm that was not unpleasant but bad a tendency to beat Its way right Into bla bead and Interfere with his conversation. There was, however, curiously lucid Interval when a gaunt, grey-haired man stood by his Chair and said - "I like that study ot the conduc tor. Would you Jet me borrow It? Nama'a McLoughlln." The confusion fell from Mark's mind. The two women who had their arms round his neck screamed to gether as he wrenched himself to . bis feet. "It Isn't what I'd plannod you should look at first These people Just a lot of What a pity I'm too drunk to explalnl" "It la, rather. , . . Didn't Farrell Armltage speak to me about you?" "He promised to, air." "Well, when you've slept this off, come round and sea me. Or no" Ills eyes had found the crutch "I'll come round to you." He fllckod a nod towards the tableful and went. The next clear Interval showed Hark bis own face In a long mirror In which the dawn waa faintly re flected. He was sitting on a blue iota In the outer lounge; the party, the porter Informed him, had left him completely stranded. But Arml tage's car was outside Mark, quite clear-headed now, recognised the chauffeur. The man who descended from It and bore down upon him waa not, however, Armltage but a man nearly aa tall, nearly as heavy and nearly aa brown ot hair and eyes and skin. "Damn nearly Armltago," marvelled Mark, whose head was clearing with most opportune speed. FERN VALLEY, Jan. 13 Wpl.) lira.

The set ot Arml tage's mouth had always something hard about It; whereas this cheerful grin radiated a.puppy-Hke compla cence. . "Oh, I wonder If you're thinking o! coming along yet? Armltage thought perhaps you might be. I'm bis secretary Kenneth Poole he left me behind In New York, y'lmow I only got back today. Can I find your coat?" It was quite evident to Mark that someone, probably McLoughlln, had reported him at Brandish Place as being Incapable of speech or move ment and he took pleasure In remov ing this Impression. , "Thanks. I wish you would. I waa half-expecting Armltage to send someone. When you're a lame duck, 'you see, you take kindnesses like that entirely for granted. People are so Immensely decent." Under the secretary's geniality, a flash of surprise shewed. "You look wondorfully fresh after your beano you get saved a lot, I expect, by not dancing." Mark found himself hatted, coated and, finally, driven away In the same car that had brought him up from Kings Mallard. As the car drew up the door waa opened and Armltage stood on tha threshold. . Mark was able to make a trettei show than he had In the Da Capo lounge and In Armltago'a face also there glimmered 'he faint surprise, Mark noted it with rising spirits. He became extremely charming. "I'm beginning to realise that 1 must have kept you and Poole out ot your beds, Armltage. If I'd had any Idea 1 wouldn't have left the house at all." "We were up anyway," Armltage assured him. leading the way Into his own sitting room. There waa an informal, comradely atmosphere In this room, with Its litter of papers and beer bottles, Its hunks of bread and cheese. ... ' And then from rather liking It, Mark passed In me horrible nerve Jangle to dosplllng and detesting It. He looked round blm, avid for an opening to bit and spoil. It was Armltage who gave him one. "Before you go up, Lodely, there's a tolegram tor you," he said. He handed It over and turned to the fire. Before he looked at It, Mark knew that It was from Bar bara and that Armltage knew It also. "'Am asked to undertake Mies Patsy Raoul's house please ad vise,' " Mark rend aloud. He laughed and pushed It Into his pocket. . :. ' "It you'll Jot down your answer," suggested Armltage, still Intent on the Are, "I'll get It sent off at once." "Oh. but 1 don't think It really re quires an answer," smiled Mark. "It'a prepaid. I understand." Ar mltage bad turned to face him. ' "Is It? . . . Waste ot money, then. Barbara might know by now that I never answer silly questions. Well, I'll turn In, 1 think, Armltage, and a thousand thanks tor rescuing me." 'But jon can't-.-" . 'Yes, I can manage perfectly. thanks.

(AD Luscious grass green, delicately striped with black, may be the accepted color scheme for the milk bottle of day after tomorrow. The reason for the green is a mere matter of $1,000,000 the nation's present annual bill for damage to food by rancidity. The color of luxuriant grass waa officially credited today by the department of , agriculture with being the most satisfactory resistant to food spoilage. t The announcement was based on the findings of Mayne B. Coe, a young chemist, who, equipped with a spec trum a thick notebook and a score of diverse colored vials tn which foods were exposed to the sun, ascertained the virtues of green. Black Is as good, and Is .suggested to relieve the mo notony in coloring. fllr-lllans Forget Thev're Acting PALERMO, Sicily (AP) Hot Sicil ian blood ogt the better of two na tives hired to fight a duel in a mov ing picture being made here.

E. KELLOGG Just walk up to some old-time miner in any of the mining district of trhls region today and ask him how gold mining la looking, and if he has time to answer he'll undoubtedly Inform you that more men are working and more mines are being opened In this particular district right now than ho has been since the DO. It la a condition during this gen eral depression of all industries, that la peculiar to no one mining camp of Oregon, because go where you may, you will find old-time producing properties being reopened, new prop erties being developed and a general air of activity and business that means just one thing gold mining is one of the most profitable of un dertakings. Talk to the financial men of the east or on the coast, or in the south, coming here, and they will tell you that those who have money to put Into mining project are eager to hear about any new deal In our midst that looks like a chance to make good. They aay at present hundreds Skeeter "Grounds" of million of dollars are being as sembled from all over the United States and the rest of the world to put .Into mining in the western, states. They ' are talking of new smelters and reduction plants in dis tricts which formerly had reduction plants but where the war and other interferences resulted In dismantling the original units, junking them for war materials. Huge flotation reduction plants are being constructed on the coast, southwest and Alaska; many displac ing smelters, many to treat low-grade ores that have been blocked out In properties owned by the same inter ests. The marvelous flotation pro The Bandits! cess Is largely responsible for this mining activity. Perhaps the greatest activity la In the Cripple Creek district in Colo rado, the home of the famous tellur lde gold-bearing ores. In Boulder county the tungsten mills are run ning full blast, while flotation mills are operating on the gold-silver ores. In the Leadvllle r-rea in Colorado, the general mining outlook la much brighter after a long, touugh period, and the smelters are operating stead ily there on ore shipped to them from other district. The old timer themselves are surprised at the in tense activity In Colorado. New organizations are entering mining districts everywhere, opening up old mines In some instances that were previously operated in a crude way before scientific methods were known. Tftey have proven that what was taken out of the ground before waa Just a starter and that untold millions more and other metals will be found and recovered, by modern means. Flotation mills are being constructed everywhere, replacing old methods. Among the mine Investors coming to southern Oregon and other min ing regions are many men who have been prominently established In other businesses all over the United States, recently giving that business up en tirely and now seeking out likely properties for themselves and other in the east that- want to put money into mine development and opera tion. These men, prominent in pub lic life for many years, in some cases have traveled thousands of miles to this district and other districts, iso lated, picking out what they, con sider to be desirable prospects. These groups are sending out their own en gineer to check over prospects, and out of it will undoubtedly result several new large-scale operations lo cally which will return to their spon sors handsome profits and perma nently develop the industry in our midst. Invest In gold mining and you will be following the same policy that most of the wealthiest men of the country and world have followed and are following today. And it is safe to aay that in t&e next year or two southern Oregon and our neighbor, northern California, will more than contribute their quota of the new mineral wealth of the world.
