A colored girl took their orders. It was when their lunch was before them, and they were eating it that Daisy brought up the subject of why she had been so eager to see Joe. "If s about my poor dad," she said. "You mean he's drinking again?" said Joe. Daisy nodded her eyes filming with unshed tears. "Say. I'm sorry to hear that," aid Joe. "I was hoping he was doing all right, since you hadn't mentioned him in quite awhile." "I was hoping that, too, Joe, honey," said Daisy. "But a letter from an old neighbor told me he was on a regular rampage. It's awful, getting news like that lust when I'm about to appear in a new play that may put me on easy street" "Gosh, that is too bad." Joe was all sympathy. "I wish there was something I could do to help." "You can," said Daisy. "In what way?" "In the review of the play." Daisy leaned across the small table, a pleading expression upon her pretty face. "Don't you re member, Joe. honey, about me saying if I made good in a Broad, way play I could get Daddy Into one of those cures?" "Yes. but" "Well, don't you see," Daisy rushed on. "what getting a good notice in "Goodbye. Honey Chilel' means to me? . . ." "Yes. I do," said Joe. "You still think what I say will carry weight?" "Of course, Joe, honey espe cially if you are good to me In the 'Stage' article you write." "Okay!" he said. "I'll do right by little Daisy. Don't worry. If I can help you with your dad, I'll be more than glad to." "Joe, honey," Daisy cried, "you're simply too sweet for words." "Let's forget It now," said Joe, embarrassed seeing that several Linville "omen were staring at him and Daisy. '"Let's talk about something else." "You're such a modest person, Joe," Daisy said. 'That's what makes me feel so terrible about well, about Kathleen and Paul." "Let's forget that too." said Joe. "All right, if you'd rather not talk about it But if there's any thing I can do to help, please let me know." "Okay, Daisy, Til let you know and thanks." Fraud DAISY wanted to linger over their coffee, but Joe told her he had to get back to the office. "I'll be watching for you in the audience tomorrow night," Daisy said, just before they told each other goodbye. "I'll be there, never fearl" Jo assured her. When he got to the Gaiette of fice, he found Fred DeMilla wait ing for him. "1 stopped by to tell you about some changes in the program for next week. Fred said. He handed Joe a sheet of ,japer. "Here vou are. Though you'd like to know as soon as possible." T-l 1. . - A 1a. Ca-w T kept you waiting. But I took Daisy Doran to lunch. The poor kid was all upset." "What about? The play tomor row night?" "No. about her father." "Her what?" "Her father," Joe repeated. "He's something of a drunkard, aha tells me. And she wants to get him in a cure." Fred stared at Joe for a mo ment, and then he began laugh ing. He couldn't seem to stop. r,What in heck's so funny?'' Joe demanded. E OF HEATH ESTATE James W. Mack, owner of a drug store in North Powder, Ore., announces the purchase of Heath'i Drug Store from the Heath estate. Mr. Mack, who plans to make his permanent home In Medford, is retaining the name and personnel of the pioneer drug firm. Mr. Mack Is a graduate of Oregon State college. He has been engaged in the drug bus! ness since 1925. the majority of the time behind the prescription counter. He was employed In Portland and the Willamette valley before going Jo eastern Oregon 10 years ago. Mr. Mack plans to dispose of his North Powder store soon. Mrs. Mack and their daughter. Betty, who will be a student at senior high school, will move to Medford this summer. "I feel fortunate." Mr. Mack laid, "securing the services of Jack Madigan, who has been manager of the store for the past two years. He has made an excellent record and he will continue in the same capacity We plan 16 operate, as near as possible, as a professional type prescription drug store. Every Item we have will be priced as low as the same item anywhere in town." Lee Hunter, who has been with Heath'i for five years, will continue as pharmacist. Mrs Emma Fredrickson is in charge of cosmetics nod toiletries. Mr.' L Wright; 1 1st an Fred. "She's certainly been hand ing you a sob-story, Joe, my boy! . . ." "You mean she she" "I mean she's got no father," said Fr. "I've known Daisy for years. I also knew her father. He killed himself drinking five years ago." "Well. Til be !" Joe gasped. And then he dropped down lim ply into his chair. At The Theatre THE more Joe thought about the manner In which Daisy Doran had tried to trick him into writing a good review of her work, the madder he got. And by the time he had reached the barn theatre the next evening to see the opening of "Goodbye. Honey Chile!" his opinion of everything theatrical, especially actresses, was something he couldn't possi bly publish in the Gazette. It was a little early, so he bought a drink. He was drinking it when Mr. Frank Vaughan came up to get one. "Nervous?" he said to Joe. "No. sir." said Joe. "Why should I be?" "So much at stake." "I can Uke it." "Mind if I get a seat near yours?" Uncle Frank said, when they had finished their drinks. "I'd like to be close to someone I know and like." Joe managed to smile. "Cer tainly 1 don t mind. Mr. Frank," he said. "Come on. We'll see where my seat is. and you can ask for one next to it." There was a little trouble get ting two seats together but after some argument and explaining the girl in the box office fixed matters up to their satisfaction. "Going bsck stage?" Uncle Frank wanted to know. "No," said Joe. "It might up set Kathleen." "She was pretty calm when she left the house." "Did Paul Pennell bring her out?" "No, I brought her out. But you can take her home after the show, if you like." "You mean If she likes." "Anyway I'd like to drive Ruby In." Joe changed the subject "Ev eryone's going In," he said. "We'd better follow suit." The lights went out as though someone had doused them all into a tub of water. A woman gasped at the suddenness of it Joe caught his breath. Uncle Frank stiffened. And the curtain went up showing an ante-bei'un. sit ting room so natural with all Miss Camilla's furniture in It that one could almost forget it was a olay. Miss Camilla smiled happily, and touched a friend next to her. "My stuff certainly looks nice, doesn't it?" she said. "Even that awful picture of my grandfather the old fraud!" "Shh!" someone said. An actress in blackface came out with a duster. She bustled about humming a Spiritual An other one came on. They had talk about war. One was light hearted, the other scared. Other actresses and other actors came and went The play was under way. It went on and on, overly ver bose. Joe thought The entire first act was pretty dull, but everyone hoped for better luck in the next act Anyway, in it Kathleen Vaughan was to play her scene with Paul Pennell. That was I enough to make the local people eager it, nave me curiam rise again. And It did. More talk. more entering and departing. The war was reality now, and the boys were all tell ing the girls goodbye. Ruby How. srd. plaving the feminine lead, had told Paul Pennell. the South ern soldier, goodbye and' hur ried off. nShe loved someone else much better and was going for another goodbye, a more exciting one. Te be eenUoaed Edith Gilford Is bookkeeper for the firm. "Mrs. Mack and I have come to tne point in life where we decided we should select a place for our permanent home and Medford seems Ideal," Mr. Mack said. "Due to many of the younger drug store owners be ing called to the colors we had our choice of nearly every city In the northwest. In looking around the last two months Medford was the only place that completely satisfied us. We like the people, the climate and' the surrounding country." parkWTgoes ITE Crater Lake Nations park of fice personnel in the Mrxifcird federal building began the an nual trek to the park effire a! trie Like yrsinrday.
