Jumping when the doorbell or telephone rings, half out of your wits with joy one day. dissolved in tears the next" "What on earth have you been reading Allen? The Development of the Emotions in Females Be tween Nineteen and Thirty? or some such idiocy? Out of my wits with joy one day, dissolving in tears the nextl It sounds exactly like a Victorian female." She half closed her eyes until the long black lashes tangled. "Old stulf. Buddy! Girls don't behave like that in these days. 1 assure you. Not even Barbara lately at least." "Doesn't she?" He seemed re lieved. "I remember she used to, and I suppose I've been subcon sciously expecting you to do the same like catching the measles. But," he said, "I understand now it's not necessary to have those kid diseases any more. Maybe it's the same with sentimental at tacks." "Maybe It Is," she agreed, and both fell silent watching the leaping flames on the hearth. But when, two hours later, she laid aside her book and came to tell her brother goodnight, she said a trifle forlornly: "Are you disap pointed in me, Allen? Do you think I'm a hard-hearted little green apple that's never going to ripen? 1 wouldn t mind falling in love, you know," she told him se riously. "But but one can't, can one? By sheer will power, I mean? Just pick out an eligible man and say '1 will now fall in love with this eminently desira ble person!'" She seated herself on the arm of his chair and laid her head somewhat wearily against nis snouiuer. He tightened his arm about her protectingly. "No. Sue dear, of course that Isn't how it comes. And I've made a fool of myself as usual, getting you all stirred up like this. A hangover from those first weeks alter Dad died when you and I were left alone. I suppose I leaned over backward, trying to be a whole family to you. Now forget it, sue. promise met It would serve me right if I'd stirred you up so you fell for the first young pipsqueak who comes into your life after tonight!" He looked up and feeing tears in her eyes, pulled out his own big handkerchief and dried them tenderly. "Forget it," he said again. "Forest has nothing on me when It comes to talking rot. it appears." "Well, but, Allen but, Allen," she answered unsteadily, "you don't want to marry me off, you don't want to get rid of me right now do you? "Darling goose, I dc notl What I really want you to do is to trot off to bed and put this whole silly conversation right out of your mindl You're a grownup woman now, and there s genuine good Big Applegate Big Applegate, Jan. 4. (Spl) Mrs. Irene Martin nag resumed her duties as teacher In the Little Applegate school after spending the holiday vacation with her sister in Portland. She was accompanied on the trip by her son Martin. Mr. and Mrs, Vera Buck of Colusa, Cel., were overnight guests here last week at the home of Mr. Buck's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Buck. Mr. and Mrs. Floyd McKee and family spent Christmas with the lstter's father, W. D. Bee be. of Cen tral Point. E. W.

Mr. and Mrs. John Sw&rtafager and fsmlly of Klamath Palls were guesta during the holiday period at the homo of the former's sister, Mrs. W. B. Harlow. Other recent guesta of Mrs. Harlow were her grand children, Pave. Patsy, and Raymond Toung of Medford, who also visited at the home of their undo, Albert Young.

Ed Jonea of Little Applegato Is recovering from a lacerated foot, sus tained while cutting poles" several days ago. Mrs. Harold Crump and Mrs. Ed Wall war among those of the com sense under that curly mop ot yours. Remind me of it if I start maundering again!" Happy, Gay fears SUE, lying wakeful long after she had heard her brother seek his own bed, pondered this surprising talk. She went over it again ana again: its first note of warning, the curious persistence Allen had showed; Allen, whose advice was usually given In the fewest possible words! Was he Irvine: to nreoare her for some news of his own, or was he really worried about her wholeness of heart? She thought back on the last Ave years. They had been happy years, gay years, with Maggie to look after the housekeeping and notning tor sue to aa out enter tain her brother's friends, sitting with demure dignity opposite him at table, shop with Barbara In the mornings, drive her own small car about as she would, run down to Kansas Citv every week or so for a play or a party, keep up her French with old Madame Lotselle, her music with Scarlett! . . . it had all been fun, fun! Sure ly it was not going to end now? "Why should it, idiot?" she in quired of herself as the clock in the living-room struck twelve. "What on earth are you getting yourself so worked up about? Allen has these attacks of con science every so often, just as he said. There was that time he de cided I was too thin, and made me drink raw eggs and cream twice a day ughl And there was the evening he caught Forest teaching me to smoke, and sim ply raised old Ned about it! This tonight means nothing abso lutely nothing!" Nevertheless she tossed for an other hour before she finally fell asleep, her hand tucked under her cheek as usual but a faint frown knitting her black brows even in slumber. The next afternoon she went to the river bluff again, this time uuviug uer car ngni up to ine great stones which protected the edge against the thousand foot drop. The snot had always been a fa vorite one with her. Her father had brought her here when she was a child, pointing out the changes the sullen river had made, showing her the flat coun try on the other side where once tne Indians had roved undisputed. She remembered one glorious day when a tall, gentle-voiced newspaper man from Denver had pointed out the exact spot from which the Pony Express rider had boarded the ferry boat on the first lap ot his Dlcturesaue lournev. Why do you always want to come up nerer Baroara demand' ed now and then. "It's always the same oia view. But it was never the same view, Sue told herself; never were river and sandbars and low lying hills below quite '.he same. Born in one of the most picturesquely interesting of all Middle west towns, she had been steeped In its history and traditions. From where she stood she could see the spot on which candy kettles had boiled for more than a century. She liked to think of the young Frenchman brought especially from St. Louis to cater to the bold fur-trader's sweet tooth: of the unpretentious Ipg cabin in which "molasses stew was made for the '49 emigrants, enduring the long winter In camps about the village, "waiting for grass." It thrilled her even yet to remember that spe munity who entertained large groups of friends with holiday dancing parties at their home. Since December a, 1S38, 19 01 Inches of rain have fallen In tho Little Applegato area, according to Mrs. Olcnn Saltmarsh, who has charge of a U. S. geological storm gauge. Farmers who have been un easy about lack of moisture for next year may be Interested In knowing that 7.03 Inches of rain fell during tho month just past, whllo only .18 of an Inch fell In December a year ago, according to Mrs. Saltmarsh.

BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK cially made "sticks" of winter- green, clove, mint, a dozen flavor ings brought all the way by train from Boston itself, had been pressed by mothers and sweet hearts into the hard young hands of the boyish Express riders to lighten their dangerous journey. Violent Crash THE trees had been cleared from this high point and a level parking place made for mo torists who like herself loved the superb view. It was deserted this late October afternoon. Sue sat in her car, her lip caught beneath her teeth, still puzzling over Al len's inexplicable words of the evening before. Something crashed violently into her car from behind, sending it forward until its wheels were stopped by the great rocks; bump ing her head smartlv asainst the wheel and driving her teeth through the scarlet satin of her lip. As alwavs when she was frightened, rage seized her. Have you no sense at all? she cried. She was out of the car in a flash and standing before a road ster in which a very white young man sat limply. "With practically an entire block ot vacant ground, must you choose the identical spot where one lonely car is parked? Or were you trying to commit suicide and I got in your way? To her mounting fury he made no answer; merely essayed a sick ly smile at her and slumped a lit tle further down on the sloping seat of the smart car.
