Chapter 18 MOON GODDESS THE cotillion led to much planning and plotting and contriving of In expensive but original favors be tween the two leaders. James found blmself evening after evening, when be wanted to be with Leslie, on bis way to the North nips In answer to ft peremptory telephone call to discuss some vital matter concerning the dance. James appreciated that Jane was giving a lot of time and attention to helping his aunt and naturally be was grateful and bad to be decent about It. Jane excelled In this sort of thing and gradually fired James with her own enthusiasm and am bition to make this the most suc cessful party ever given In New Con cord. James tried to explain all about It to Leslie and why he went so often to the .S'orthrups, but for one he found Leslie Incredibly difficult. She apparently was not at all Interested In his movements or the whys and wherefores of his not coming to see her. indeed she had been so busy It seemed she hadn't even noticed bis comings and goings, James, aghast at the callousness of woman, was so unhappy ha wanted to die. It was a very beautiful party, danced on the Stlmson lawn to the soft muslo of violins with Japanese lanterns everywhere trying to out rival the midsummer moon. Jane was the first arrival. She had a new dross, a filmy thing of white and liver, with. a circle ot brilliants In her dark wavy balr. "You look like a moon goddess," James said to ber as ha groeted ber on the portlcoed front veranda, "like Diana horself." . "And you as the perfect host have played Jupiter and provided me with my chariot," Jane laughed, waving toward the moon. "See how clear the lady Is tonight I am certain she Is pleased with our party. Look, she is telling us we must be a little mad tonight, that we must search out a moonbeam and dance up and up . . , Will you go with met Will you help me search!" "To the ends of the world," James answered gallantly. And turned and aw Leslie Harris framed In the spacious doorway, the ubiquitous Bam Fletcher Just behind her carry ing her wrap. Leslie was In flesh-colored organ die ruffled from waist to hem. How weot she looked; as sweet as a tea rose, as sweet as his grandmother. But damn It, he wished she wouldn't mile up at Sam In just that particu lar way . . . with that smile he had thought she kept tor him alone. . , . "I hope wo are not Interrupting." siil (I Leslie coming forward. "I'm afraid we are a little early and 1 know you and Jane have a lot of things to talk over. We'll corns back later." "yOU'RE not early," said James hastily. "Jane and I settled everything a week ago. Here, let me have your cloak." "I'll keep It," Sum answered grim ly. "Leslie and I want to take a walk, to see the grounds. This Is too well a night to waste poking around Indoors." "1 agree with you," Jan said lightly. "Hello, 8am. How lovely you look, Leslie. Did your mother make Ihul dress? Shu's ft wonder If she did." "1 made It myself," Leslie an swered. "You'ro gorgeous tonight, Jane dear. James Is right; you do look a moon goddess. The party can't help but bo wonderful with Dlnna anil," she paused and gave a little throaty chuckle, "and Jupiter In oommand. Come on, Sam. Let's go and explore. Perhaps If we're lucky wo'll find a moonbeam ourselves." She cniictit Sam's hand and ran with Mm down the stops out Into the scented moon-drenched garden, her laughter floating behind her. Jane slipped her arm through James'. "I'm afraid." alio snld lightly, "that Lesllo Is making fun of us. I'm afraid 1 was ft little sentimental about the moon. Uut It's a night for sentiment. 1 can stand It If you can. And per haps we ought to go In and find your Aunt Sarah. As a matter of fact, she E AT BALKM. Ore.

Well, perhaps not Leslie's head la probably turned. It will be step up for ber, big step. If she marries Sam." There was a call then for James from his aunt The guests were Ar riving and be must go Inside and greet them. He was grateful he did not have to answer Jane. A step np for Leslie! That mutt! But she had no right to smile at him as if she . . as If she . , , But ot course she did not Well, If Leslie wanted to dance on ft moonbeam he'd find her one. Sam wouldn't know ft moon beam from a power station. But James bad reckoned without his duties as host Ha did not see Leslie again until he was on the dancing platform leading the grand march with Jane. Afterwards he made many attempts to favor Les lie. But she never seemed to sea him or catch his signals until ha was tight before her. And by that time Sam or Bud or Jackson had grabbed ber. When James Anally danced with her be found ber distrait and unresponsive, vehement In ber praise of Jane's beauty, Jane's charm, Jane's cleverness. 'Look here. I don't want to talk about Jane. She's all that you say. but I want to know wby you are treating me like this. What have I done? You've go; to tell me. You know I'd rather cut oft my right hand than , . ." Jimmy dear, don't be so tragic. You haven't done anything. And I'm not treating you any other way than I always have. But one cannot mo nopolize one's host." "Monopolize? You call It monopo lizing . . ." THE! waltz ended abruptly loavlng Leslie just beside Julia Millard. Leslie linked her arm In Julia's, could not be pried away. Time and time again during that hectic and endless evening Leslie eluded James' attempts to get her alone. James felt he never could have endured the sharp and continued disappointments If It had not been tor Jane's gallant support Good old Jane 'never failed him. After every perfidious anub from Leslie there Jane was, calling him to some neglected duty, claiming ft favor, laughing up at him gaily, telling him how distinguished he looked . . . not handsome exactly but distinguished. She assured him that he was an aristocrat to his Anger tips; no one could mistake It James, naturally enough, was di verted for the moment from thought! of suicide on the Harris' front lawn. Nevertheless, even while ht glowed and purred under Jane's flattery, he never forgot tor a mo ment that he meant to have It out with Leslie this very evening. It was late and supper long over before James' opportunity came and Leslie was anally persuaded to cut ft dance and stroll with blm to the edge ot the spacious lawn to Investi gate whether the far famed river view was living ua to expectations In the moonlight But luck was against James that night Hardly had they reached the edge of the shadows when James heard his name called. "Your aunt wants yon," said Lea He. "Oh no, she's calling Tom," lied James shamelessly. "I distinctly heard her say James." "That's because you wanted to hear It And even If yon did It's nothing more Important than to dance with some wall flower or say goodnight to some dowager. "But 1 tell you right now I am not going to let you out of my sight until you tell me why you have treated me these lastuwo weeks as If I were some nasty little bug trying to crawl down your neck." "Silly! I never ..." "Sssssssh! Someone's coming this way." Hastily James pulled Loslle Into the darkest shadow and stood In front ot her to ihlold bur light dress. As he did so bis heart gave a great glad leap the first In days tor his divinity did not protest but stood as obedleutly still and quiet as the great black oak that sheltered them. Nor did she move whon James reached back and caught one hand and held It tight "James, James, where are youf" called MIrs Sarah anxiously. "Oh, there you are. 1 am so relieved. That dreadful drunken Mr. Harris . . ." ICopvnght. last Uattel it. ramhaml Jam, oo.t through a difficult scent, Monday, PINE BEETLE IS SALEM, Ore. (UP) The western pine beetle destroys elcht times as 'much pine timber as forest fires, a survey of the United States forest service allowed, for Oregon nd Wash, lnnton. The estimate, over a five-year pe riod, revealed that the beetla cause sn aiuiusl loss of approximately 1.. 000.000 bnard feet. All the pine mills In that stnte of Oregon do not cut much more than halt the amount lost due to the activity of the in sect. Areas moat ffertM by the rsvases of the pest are the forests of Klamath. Lake, crook. Deschutes. Orant, Jrtfr-r-son and Wasco counties. In the state of Washington, Yakima, Ovanonsn and Kerry counties are also heavily damsced by the beetle.

WINDS OF SPRING MRDYMNRFRnF I vi inn i UJ uiul.Ii ui OVERHEATED FLUE SALEM, Ore. (UP) Early spring, with high winds and sudden changes in weather, always brings large num bers of fires from overheated chim neys and flue fires, warned E. A. Tay lor, deputy state fire marshal. "Accumulation of soot In- both smokcplpes and chimneys during the rold winter weather arises from slow ly moving smoke from slow-burning fires. By spring many chimneys are already for flue fires, even though , they were cleaned In the fall," said I Taylor. ! "Particularly In western Oregon. where the fuel contains a large amount of pitch, the soot collection Is large. Improperly constructed chimneys will also gather an undue amount of soot. When smoke pipes , run level or without much pitch, or j with numerous turns, they retard the smoke and cause more condensation and collection of soot. "I have seen fires where soot burn ing In smoke pipes had made them white hot, causing them to sag and pull out of their connections. No matter how tightly a pipe seems to ' be when forced Into tne chimney It will loosen as soon as you have built ' a few fires. It Isn't enough to merely wire a pipe to support Its weight. It should be wired so that It will not pull out, I "As for terra cotta or metal flues, j they are so dangerous that even care- i ful Installation and use cannot make them safe.
