But ehe hat never indicated that ehe return hi ooviout regard lor her unlU now. While the rtlladj. out captain Wong Bo of the B. B. Boldero to etealing Bower1 aun. Ivy and Bouiere are talking about the reason men kill thing. Chapter IT FUTURE PLANS "COMB people," Mid Bowers, "bare subconscious memories, remem bering things that happened mil lion years ago, maybe ten million. "The first tiger I ever killed was a saber-toopied tiger dream tiger. I was In an' open space half-way be tween the river and the forest wbere I lived. He came after" me and 1 ran, but my legs weren't made for run ning and 1 couldn't get to the trees fast enough and besides I was carry ing a heavy wooden club. "I stopped and turned and the tiger Jumped tor me. His mouth was open flat like a rattlesnake's when It strikes and the two saber-teeth stuck straight out In front Just Ilka the rattlesnake'a fangs, only they were as big as bayonets. "I hit with the club, and then I went down screeching, and ha was on top of me pinning me there. I lived a thousand years. I thought that I'd been torn to pieces, but as a matter of fact, he hadn't made any effort to bite or claw. He was dead. "Then I woke up, and I bet I was Bva pounds lighter than when I bad gone to sleep. "1 took to blg game bunting tor exactly the same reason that a duck takes to water: Instinct. You know there's lots more to It than Just the killing. You've said more than once that the hunter Is armed to the teetb ind takes no risks. "The hunter takes as few risks as be can. but be can't duck out of II of them. If he keeps long enough at the hunting, some animal will get blm or If It doesn't the hunt will. He risks the most dreadful hardships ind fevers. And It he can confine himself to members of the cat-family. he Is of good service to the com munlty In wblcb be hunts." "Yes," she said, "1 understand bet ter than I did. 1 have for some time. But now that you have seen the other side; now that Big Ben" (this was the name they bad given the male tiger) "comes to you of his own accord to be petted and depends on us tor food and bla clean cage, don't you feel different?" "I do about Big Ben," said Bow ers, and be waa sincere. "I have the bunting Instinct too," said Ivy. "But 1 couldn't kill any thing or see anything killed. I'd love to go hunting with a camera." "TP YOU ever decide to try It." said J Bowers, "especially on the dan gerous animals, yon will have to have a cover-up man wltb a big bang-stick, and tbs man might as well be me. "You know," he went on hurriedly, "that Isn't a bad Idea. After Singa pore, let's do 1L We'll plan a trip Into a country that neither of us knows. I'll only kill tor food and to save life. We'll take along an expert camera-nun and make a movie. There might be a piece of change In It. I'll put up the capital and we'll share the profits." "It's tun to think about," said Ivy. "It will be much more fun to do," said Bowers, "especially now. Now that we bave been frank with each other and we have got everything explained and Ironed out. How about It?" She did not answer for some mo ments, and Bowers continued: "1 don't suppose you know," be ssld, "that 1 like you a lot. 1 haven't said snythlng about It, but 1 don't suppose 1 have been able to keep It to myself." "That's because I am the only woman In sight," said Ivy with some bitterness. "Maybe that was true," he said, "Just at first. But It Isn't true now. Your attitude to your Job and to life In general makes you a very unusual peraon, even It you are the only girl In sight. 1 bave the greatest admira tion and respect for you." She mads no answer. Baker Hog-Corn Contracts First PORTLAND, Sept. 13. A-Baker la the first Oregon county to have ltt hog-corn contract approved by the Oregon board of review, and a total of MA.6S0 will be paid to farmers In that county on 298 contracts. Hubert L.

"And on top of that." ne went on, a there's the liking yon a lot 1 would ' be sorry," he said, "to like yon so much It 1 were sure that you were ever going to like me. because then I'd know that there were pain and misery abead of me and I am not used to either." Yon have always had everything you wanted In this world, Just about when you wanted It. haven't your- "One of tbe lucky ones," be ad mitted. "Why? Am 1 aa spoiled as that? Does It stick out all over me?" "You're not as spoiled as you might be," she said. "Not by you. I'm not." He beard tbe wblsper of a laugh. "But you ought to reform," he said. "You have been bad to me. You Just said so yourself. The best way to make up for that Is to spoil me. It only a little." Ivy quoted from tbe Blake poem In a caressing voice: "Tiger, tiger burning bright. . . . For answer. Bowera returned an admirable imitation of a cat purring, and they botb laughed. How old are you anyway?" asked Ivy. "Thirty-three." "Why don't you grow up?" "I will," he said, "If you'll promise to go on that camera-hunt. It would be a great test for both of us." "A test of what?" "ITELL-," he said, "If we found at ' ' tbe end of three months or so In the Jungle ot Southern India we were still friends, then we'd know that we would always get on together anywhere." "Would that be worth finding out?" "That," he said, "would depend on you. Are you Interested?" "I'd be a fool It I wasn't. Once this Job's done, 1 have no place to go, no one to turn to. Those things aren't easy to live with." "You dop't bave to worry about that," said Bowers. "If the worst comes to the worst. If you won't go camera-hunting with me, I'll see that you get back to America, and that.tharo Is the kind ot Job yon want waiting for you. So although 1 bave Issued you a polite Invitation, you are under no compulsion what ever to accept It" "I can't help believing you," she said. "I think you'd do a lot for me with no strings attached." "This trip," said Bowers, "bsa been fun, but now that we bave de-i elded to be friends and stop sparring, It'a going to be more fun. 1 suppose you know that when I tell you 1 like you a lot I mean a lot more. I think about you all the time. Will you be lieve me It I tell you tbat It's a new experience?" "First you tell me," ahe said lightly, "that you are thirty-three years old and then you want me to believe that this Is tbe Brst time you ever felt In a certain way." "It Is tbs first time." said Bowers, "and 1 give you my word, that my feelings about any young woman hava been domestic. When I wss cleaning my guns and you were dressmaking and we were close to gether and nobody saying anything 1 was happy." "I liked It too," she admitted. "Be ing alone la no fun. I hava bad my fill ot tbat." "You don't have to be alona any more ever It you don't want to be." "Just wbat do you mean by that?" "Tbat you can bave me always as a companion If you'll say the word." "I'd better tell you," she aald, "that I have heard tbat before and It didn't turn out that way." "So far as 1 am concerned," said Bowera, "your life began the day I heard you scolding Helen In the tent Anything tbat happened to either of ua before tbat tlma ought to bave no more importance than so much dust down tbe wind." Tbey were botb silent for a time. Then Bowers said, almost brusquely. "Well . . . bow about It?" "About tbe dust down the wlndf "You know perfectly well what I mean. I'm asking you to be my wife." "1 didn't realize that," she said quietly. "1 think you are sincere. But 1 wouldn't be an honest friend it 1 Jumped at the chance." "Why not?"
