Delia said, "And I told you I didn't care." She waited. The fear was still with her, gathering into a tight little knot inside.- But she was calm now and strangely hurt be cause she could not quite under stand the still small voice that kept hinting at something she dared not express.

"I'm sorry, darling." she said. "Good night. I had a lovely eve ning." He looked at her, his bluo eyes miserable and his mouth twisted. "Good night. Dee," he said. That was all. He made no move towards her and she. who hsd so wanted to comfort him had he given her the chance, turned quickly and went inside, eyes brimming as she huTied up the stain.

She had about finished at the dressing table and was tving a yellow ribbon about her head when ner husband entered, trail ing imoka from a freshly-lighted pipe. '"Hello," he said. "Have a good time?" "Very nice," Joyce said. "How's the expectant father?" "Still expecting the last I heard." Kent Murdock bent down to kiss ner and grinned. "You look cute." he said. "Do I?" i "With that ribbon In your hair." ' Joyce remained at the table. Idly neating things that hardly needed such attention. "We wait- d for you," she said presently. "I'm sorry. I got tied up." She followed him with her eyes as he took off his coat and vest and began to empty things from his pockets to the top of the chest. He did all this slowly, rather absently, a frown biting at the bridge of his nose, a thoughtful, faraway look in his dark eyes. Recognizing the signs, she knew something was bother ing him. She waited. When he had finished with his pockets, he stood there a lean, moderately tall man with crisp dark hair and strong brows. His STATE O. O. P.

His brows were bent now and the pipe, clamped firmly in his wide mouth, warped the solid angular jaw. Presently he removed the pipe, shook out some ashes and came over to the chaise-longue. "How was the play?" "Very good," Joyce said. "Iff a shame you couldn't make it." "Yes," Murdock said absently. "You must have been awfully busy." "Yes I was Joyce turned slightly, crossing her knees. She picked up an orange stick and Idly fooled with her nails, keeping one eye on her husband's face. Sne saw the frown bite deeper. His gaze traveled all over the room taking care to miss her and he tapped the pipe stem against his teeth. Whatever it was that bothered him was coming to the surface, and she began to hum softly until she heard him clear his throat "Hester's in town." "Who?" "Hestor. You know" ' "Oh. yes. I knew she was." He looked at her sharply. "Knew she was what?" "Why that she was in town. We met husband number two in Hugo's." "Oh." Murdock said, and looked vaguely troubled as he listened to his wife's account of the meet ing. Joyce kept busy with her orange stick after she had fin ished. She knew there was more to come. He was fidgeting now. but she did not help him out and presently he spoke again, his eyes still avoiding her. "She called me up." "Did she? Wasn't that nice of her?" He looked up quickly, dark eyes suspicious, but Joyce was busy with her nails. "I had a drink with her," be said abruptly, and rose and went to the other side of the room, where he began to undress. Joyce put down the orange stick. "Is that why you couldn't meet us after the show?" "She kept after me," Murdock said. "She called me up and said she understood I was doing some portrait worx now ana now aoout doing some of her. I told her I'd think it over" "But why?" Joyce wss smiling. "Apparently she can pay about any rrice you want to ask and" Difficult Story "TOW wait a minute," Murdock said. "Let me tell it will you?" He stopped to look at her. a grin at the corners of his mouth and embarrassment in his eyes. "She called me up. She said she wanted to see me and I said well, you know how it is " "Of course I do," said Joyce sweetly "Will you stop that?" Murdock growled; then, good-naturedly: "I said I'd like " see her but that I was busy, and she said all right then she'd come to the offlce. Well, that wouldn't have been so food, would it? So I said okay, d have a drink wit! her later He looked around to see if she was believing him and she nodded and said: And what was she like?" He told her with a masculine lack of detail and she sat there watching him and thinking of many things. She was grateful for his nonesty, but looking back, she realized that it had always been this way Lven from the first she had known that this, man would be completely honest with himself and, because of this, honest with her. He was just a newspaper pho tographer then he still was. al though he now was picture chief for the Courier-Herald and had more time for outside interests but even so he measured up to the man she'd had in the back of her mind since girlhood She realized he had finished. He had slipped into his pajamas and was standing there, his eyes quizzical, bhe smiled at him. T be continued the Willamette Valley, "prob ably In Salem or Portland," ear ly next fall, R. M.

F. S. Brandon, of 211 North few pioneer millers in this vicinity, recalls his connection with the Industry in the following article which he wrote for the Mail Tribune, By F. 8. Brandon I have not operated a flouring mill for more than 20 years, however, I was an operative flour miller In Oregon for 23 years. On August 1, 1883, my loth birthday, I began as an ap prentice to learn the flour mil lers trade. My employer and teacher was the late Thomas Martin, of Klamath Falls, Ore., a pioneer flour miller of Klam ath county, Mr. Martin was then operating the old Eagle Flouring Mills on what is now known as the Jackson Hot Springs ranch, one mile north of Ashland. There were seven flouring mills operating in the Rogue River Valley at that time, 59 years ago this summer. Some of these were built in the fifties. I think the Ashland mill was the oldest, being built in 1856. These mills were located as follows: Ashland Mills, Jacob Wagner, owner; Eagle Mills, Ashland, Mrs. Farnham, owner; Phoenix Mills, P. W, dwell, owner; - Jacksonville Steam Mills, Krewski, owner; Central Point Mills, Hopwood, owner; Gold Hill Mills, Ganiard, own er; Eagle Point Mills, Richard Daley, owner. These mills were all of the old type, using millstones "Buhrstones" and were called Buhr Mills. In 1883 two of these mills, the Ashland and Eagle Mills, adopted the patent process of manufacturing white flour on mill stones, cutting down the grinding surface of the wheat stones and grinding higher, thus creating coarse white middlings which were purified on an aspirator, then ground on a separate set of und-er-runner mill stones. I have operated most every type of flouring mill Buhr mills, combination roller and Buhr mills and both short and long system ro's-r mills. There are still quite a few people who have seen millstones operate. and an occasional old-time mil ler who could help me tell the story. Trimming, balancing and dressing millstones is almost a lost art. The mill stones are round and come in pairs, the lower called the nether mill stone, was solidly fixed and did not turn. The upper stone re volved and was suspended on an adjustable spindle connected to the power with gears beneath the grinding floor. This was known as the "runner stone" and revolved 160 to 180 times per minute, according to size, usually 36 to 48 inches in diameter. The "runner stone" had an opening or round hole through the center called the "eye of the millstone." Grain was fed automatically through this "eye," falling between the two stones. The runner stone was adjustable and could be low- HAP HOPPER, Washington Correspondent Speak Up, Hap -"EBaTSB55?VrlC'S hoker rcro wrm-rns host i V W)i.oa-Mo'41B0P UWI M p" i jKVVi". aT5?VA';'lvi I Olf FICULT TS OF H4 can..
