James Jumped In bis chair and lava a hurried Involuntary glance toward bis grandfather's empty place at the table. To be sura Tom bad never called bis master anything bat the Governor In James' remem brance but there was no other "MIS' ter" present "Who are you calling Mister me?" asked James rather gruffly, partly to break the loud silence and partly to bide his perturbation. It was all be could do to speak at all. "Yes, sir," answered Tom. "Mo and Aunt Lou been's talklug It over and we havo Jointly came to the decision that It ain't fltten that we should go on calling you James same as we did when you was a baby."

You are the head of the family now. dear, and ... I believe your grandfather would like It ... If you . . . would take his chair ... at the head of the table." JAMES turned even redder and might have sniffled If Tom. whose manners were patterned after thoso of his beloved master's, had not stepped forward and drawn bark the empty chnlr with a grace and dignity that oven the elder James eould not have surpassed. Aunt I.ou. coming In with the bis cuits, found James seated at the head of the table, and all three Stlm sons and Tom as well on the verge Of tenrs. James, however, felt that as he was now a man ond the head of bis family It was up to him to acsert himself at once and cave (he situa tion. "Look here. Aunt Lou." he a.ked briskly. "Are you In on this Mister business, too?"

Tbey got through the breakfast somehow, but after that James' place was always laid opposite bis grand mother'a and James always sat there In the big carved blgb-backed oak chair with the maroon leather seat.

When the doctor, dur- lng his third visit, sat down by his patient's bed and assured her heartily that ho would soon have her up and about, Mrs. Stlmson re garded blm almost spitefully. "1 had made other plans," she said with much Injured dignity and turned her face away from him. Sarah waa permitted to carry out those "other plans" a few weeks later. "She was tired In many moons and her moccasins wore ouL" James and his Aunt Sarah, with breaking hearts, laid her to rest between ths husband she had toved so tenderly all the days of her married life and her son, the beloved Doctor Jim, who had gone before ber to mak the way plain. A week or two after the second funeral aomeone sent Miss Sarab Stlmson a great bunch of fragrant English violets.

(APt Although the Oregon legislature baa authorized the purchase of Ore gon timber under the Weeks act. the United States forest service has no definite program for such action and no money la Immediately available for such use. One responsible source In the for est service said there appears to be some question whether the Oregon act meets the requirements of the Weeks act. In any event, congress appropri ated no money for timber purchases under the Weeks act and plana fur acquiring available timber lands will await such appropriation. Even then, the money may not necessarily be spent In Oregon. It will be allotcd In lump sums and the forest service will use It "where the terms are the most advantageous to the United States." .
