H i prowlino around th tent of an animal trainer token he hear a woman' vole "dre ing down" tomaon. '1 Chapter rive DIFFICULT MEETING DONT understand." said, tbe Tolce, "how you dared to run way In the first place; but once having run away, 1 don't understand how you dared come back. Haven't 1 sheltered you and guarded you? Haven't I kept you away from evil, and evil away from you?" At this point the daughter began to be personified. She was called by her same. . "Helen, Helen, Helen," said the voice, "how could you? How could you run away from the mother that loves you so, and stay away three days and nights?" Here It seemed as If Helen must have made some remonstrance. If o, the sounds of It were Inaudible to Bowers. Bowers, she had the look of a yount woman who knew her way about and Tbo had been hardened and sharpened In the school of experi ence which Is the result of economic pressure. She was dressed In one of those showy uniforms which, unknown to the armies ot tbe world, are affected by animal trainers. It was while and profusely decorated with gold but tons and gold braid. Tbe well-cut breeches and boots were also white The boots bad gold tcps. Her subconscious mind bad prob ably made some record of tbe slap ping on tbe canvas and Bowers' re quest for admission, for she now turned ber bead slowly and looked at him. Tbo young man, who wai by no means sby. cbose to Interpret tbls look of blank uon-recognltlon as an Invitation, and be entered the tent, begging her pardon, as he did so. Knowing what Is to be expected from the average young white mad In tbe tropics, and from tbe old onei too. for that matter, tbe young wo man's attitude. If not belligerent was cool and noncommittal. "Looking for someone?" sb asked. Bowers, respectful, charming anl disarming, came closer. Whore wo men were concerned, he always tooV ISi I "I've a cargo of animals wished on me," Bowers, said "What's that you say?" said tbe mother. "Innocent? Guilt la written In every feature of your depraved little face. What have you done with your plothes?" During this harangue Bowera had formed a mental Image of Helen Her name attracted blm. The face of a young woman by the same name was said to have launched thou sand ships. "Now don't stand there," said the roles, "and tell me that you've been robbed." Bowers choked down a laugh. And all at once the cold, bard voice be came tender and beseeching and forgiving, "There, there, honey, don't cry I Come to Mother. Mother forgives you. Now then," tbe voice bad taken on a playful, coaxing quality, "tell Mother all about everything. . , . Tea, darling ... 1 understand . . . Well, 1 guess that's nature . . . flea nature, monkey nature and human nature 1" Then there waa silence. It seemed as If the silence waa going to last Indefinitely. Surely, thought Bowers, the young woman has had time to calm down. He struck tbe tent flap sharply a number ot times with his open hand. Then he said loudly: "May I come In?" npHERB waa no Immediate in swer; and thinking that neither bis voice nor bis band slapplngs on the csnvas bsd caught the attention of those within, he pulled the flap glngorly aside and poked his head cautiously Into the tent. The tent did cortaln a pretty young woman, or should we say. a beautiful young 'woman: and she was fully and even elaborately clothed. For the rest, tbe tent con tained live great animal cages which were empty. The Iron-barred doors were ajar. Some plecea ot cheat and gaudy luggage formed a group. A doll-slted tin trunk was open. A red suitcase, no bigger than a woman's vanity bag, stood beside the trunk. Tbe pretty, or perhaps beautiful young woman, stood In the mldit of the tent with a small female mon key of the Rhosus species In her arms. Tbe young woman had hair of the color or quality known as plati num; and to the experienced eye ot great pains to get himself liked, am was not accustomed to dllllculty. "I HAVE bad a cargo of birds ant ' animals wished on me," he said "I am taking thorn to Singapore fq a friend, and I don't know beam about taking care of (hem. I thoughi that maybe you might know of some one, an expert, someone to take cart ot them, feed them, make them hap py. There Is a good piece of mone In It." be went on. "and return pas sage. Know of an) man that Ulli the bill?" After a little hesitation, the younf woman said: "Why yes. I do." Bowers was delighted. "Bj Qoorge." be said, "thnfs a big loac otf my mind. (Jan you put me It touch with him 7" Again, before ber answer come there was hesitation. Then sbe said slowly: "Yes. 1 can; but 1 won't." She could hardl) bave made tb( statement more rudely. If Boweri waa quick to be attracted, he war equally quick to take offense. Hi felt a little as If his face had been slapped. If you won't, you won't," he said coldly; "and thank you very much for practically nothing." And he turned on bis heel. "Just a minute," said the young woman. "1 didn't mean to be rude." Bowers affected amazement, "What." he said, "you dldn'tl Well you had a tremendous succoss with out trying." "1 happon," said the woman, "tc know ot a Hindu who Is first ret with animals, A-l. You said you wanted a man. Well, he doesn't need the Job as hadly as I do." 'But!" Bowers started to object You needn't look so surprised said she. "In spite ot this gay unl form, I am not Just the big show-off I am a professional trainer and con ditloner ot animals: and thougb J say It myself, I'm a good one." Big Bertha had told Bowers thai the animal trainer tent was to bi recognlxed by the smell. To a keen nose this might have heon truo; and Bowera. turning to tbe big cages sniffed and said: "Tigers. What's become ot them?" The trainer makM Sn 0fTr to Bowtrs, tomorrow.

AT SiS VALLEY SAMS VALLEY, Aug. 29. (Spl.) E. W. Empey, of Salem, will assume the duties om principal of Sams Val ley school at the opening, Monday, September 3. Other members of the faculty will be Miss Coombe of Ash land; Mrs. Ada East of Medford. and Miss Erma May of Ashland. Miss Coomb will be second high school teacher; Mrs. East will conduct the Intermediate grades and Miss May the primary room. Resignation of Q. W. Ayers, elected principal early la the spring, was re quested by the school board after considerable dissatisfaction had de veloped and a hearing waa held In June by the directors and patrons. AyreV methods as principal of the school were criticised at the meet ing, several severe charges being made. It was alleged that he had admin istered sleeping powders to the bas ketball team on the afternoon they were to play Central Point In the fi nal of the Ashland tournament, and had failed to properly handle the student body fund, after assuming authority of the money. Mr. Empey, who waa principal at Monroe for three years, will come to Sams valley highly recommended for his efficiency and ability to maintain harmony. A new bus was recently purchased and will make the usual route during the school year. Shortage of water Is a problem con fronting the school board and It may be necessary to sink another well to Insure sufficient water for the year Because of employment. It Is ex pected -hat some students will not be able to enroll at the opening of the fall term, but will enter school later. NO RELIEF CANNING Anyone who has made appoint ment at any of the relief canning kitchens In the valley for Labor Day. Monday, September 3, should go to the kitchen before the end of the week and make an appointment for another day, officials of the Jackson County relief committee advise. This announcement was made due to the fact that as Labor Day la a legal holiday, the kitchens will not operate, notwithstanding the fact that many relief cases have already made appointments. f ST.

Most of her fellow villagers and colleagues of the passion play came to the church to wish her well and godspeed on her trip to America. They came In formal attire the beards and biblical haircuts of the disciples contrasting with the wing collars and stiff shirts of their ev ening clothes. The little angels of the passion play looked more like children dressed for Sunday school. The bride wore a white silk gown with a veil and myrtle wreath; the groom a cutaway. Twelve trunks full of Oberammer gau handicraft, Including a madonna and crucifix carved by the bride's father, will go with the couple to the United States, where Lang teaches German at Washington Uni versity.
