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

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. JOSEPH. Mo.. Aug. 29. A vet
eran bartender has thrown up his
job and a&Jted for a place In a street
gang.
"In the good old days," he told
Mayor John Schuder, In applying
for a city Job, "we served men only.
But now with the women bringing
their sewing Into the place and sip
ping highballs well, It Is too much
for me."

godspeed on her trip to America.
They came In formal attire the
beards and biblical haircuts of the
