THE VERNONIA EAGLE
Daring Hold-Up of Chili upon presentation to the fiscal
agency of Oregon, in New York
Shop Nets Robbers $35 City, to-wit: The Chase National
r
1
Thirty-five dollars were taken
on Monday morning by two men
who entered “Turk’s” Chili shop
on the highway in West St. Hel­
ens about 5:35, and producing
a revolver demanded that Mrs.
Mary Deahn open the cash re­
gister and give them the contents.
According to M. E. Turkington,
the proprietor, he had left the
shop about an hour before as is
his custom, leaving Mrs. Deahn
alone in the place. The two
men, both fairly young and not
wearing masks, came in and
stood near the front of the room
near the cash register. As Mrs.
Deahn came to take their orders,
one man put his hand, in which
a revolver was held, on the
counter and told her to hand
over the money, which she did.
An Oregonian carrier went by
the restaurant as the hold-up was
being staged but thought that the
men were paying a bill. Later
he stated he saw the two men
walking up the highway near the
golf links. No clue has yet been
found as to their identity, al­
though their boldness indicates
that they were not known in
town.—St. Helens Sentinel.
Turkington will be remembered
here as the proprietor of Turk’s
Sandwich shop. He moved to St.
Helens about three months ago.

The Girl in the
Narrow Trail
By LEETE STONE
A IT R
IT WAS George fame's second
* summer In the hlnter regions of
the southern mountains. He had
gone first to recuperate f.om severe
strain suffered during the success­
ful supervision of u difficult under­
taking. Utterly cliarnied with the
picturesque environment, George re­
turned a second season to secure
from the state a section of land In
a lovely mountain valley. He pic­
tured a summer home; a spacious
lodge structure of logs, with a tre­
mendous fireplace and all that bar.
nionlzes with solid comfort for men.
The site was perfect—a rounded,
plateau-llke Inset that the ages had
chiseled In a gradual ascent of
plney woods, rising from the shore
of a charming lake about an acre
In expanse. As far as George could
see there was Just one eyesore in
the perspective from what he hoped
would soon be the wide veranda of
his friendly lodge—a mountaineer’s
cabin. Ugly and unkempt, Its fringe
littered with a border of rusty tin
cans, It stood In an open, grassy
swale Just below the dam. Easy
enough, he reasoned. Pay the
mountaineer, whom he rarely
glimpsed, a sufficient sum of money
to move.
On a rare day when the hill air
was as zestful as wine, George
sprang on his powerful black sad­
dler, Rob Roy, and rode the ten
miles to the tiny settlement which
boasted the nearest post office.
There, at last, he found favorable
word from the state regarding his
purchase. A steep price was named
for wild land, but George was glad
to pay it In his mind’s eye al­
ways was the picture of a deep,
wide lodge living room with mas­
sive Inviting leathern chairs; his
many books; and a slow-burning
hearth fire. Then there came to
him the feeling that this home In
the hills should have a mistress as
well as a master. But the thought
was speedily relinquished because
women had not figured actively In
George’s busy life.
Soon after acquiring title to his
land George was surprised, while
riding Rob Roy over a narrow ledge,
to see his neighbor who lived In the
ugly cabin below the dam step out
as If from nowhere directly In his
path. A lean Winchester nestled
in the crook of the native’s arm.
“Stranguh; I hatn’t tryln’ to
scare yuh. None at all. Jest wanter
tnfohm yuh 'twon’t be healthy fer
yuh tub build one o' them fancy
places an’ bring yer foreign friends
down Inter our woods. They’s
more'n 00» o’ us round ’ere. and
we means It Jest tellin’ yuh, that's
all 1” The speaker’s dingy leather
sandals made no sound as he turned
abruptly into the thick underbrush,
disdaining to wait for a reply.
Another mile and George was
▼ery near his own land, when an­
other and vitally different vision
materialized In the narrow trail di­
rectly ahcai V-ry different la-
Freight
. i A s.vin; liony of slim dribooi
in clean starched gingham with the
hint of young romance and more
than a hint of solicitude In eyes
that were wide, dark lashed and a
heavenly blue.
Black Rob Roy reared his head
In equine consternation, and George
of n sudden saw the index finger
of Fate pointing to his feminine
Destiny. A slim, brown hand
reached aloft and caressed Rob
Roy’s silken nose. The girl breathed
with difficulty and spoke with
earnestness:
‘‘Listen, please. I saw Father
stop you. I heard what be said;
and please, oh please, be careful.
Dad’s one of the old-time mountain­
eers—feud and fight men, I call
them, lie thluks your land is his.
You see, 1 live with my aunt over
tn Somers—go to high school there;
but he lives alone fishing and hunt­
ing the land you’ve bought Do you
see T'
“I see and Tl! heed,” George an­
swered.
The old story: love at first
glimpse. For a month there were
stolen meetings In green, secluded
vistas of the great forest until a
sacred troth was plighted. George
Lane sought the mountaineer fa­
ther with generous offers. Refusals
and sterner warnings were the an­
swer. Twice a bullet singed the
green leaves that brushed George's
hat as he rode the lonely trails.
Then the unforgettable night; the
night George Lane left his sweet­
heart at her gate and raced Rob
Ro.v home In the face of a driving
rain; the night he wakened to find
her ghost-white and shaking beside
his army cot In his lonely cabin.
“K’s a cloudburst. Jlggs,” so she
called him “and Dad—Dad's on
the roof of Ills cabin with the water
rising round him. It’s a hundred
feet right now In that spot—and he
can’t swim 1”
“Come on!” Lane shouted above
the fury of the downpour outside.
"Leave It to old Rob Roy.”
It’s all a sequel or another story
—the dash of George Lane and his
mountain sweetheart to the edge
of the roaring torrent, the bold
plunge of Rob Roy, his gallant
struggle to the center of the mael­
strom where the drenched moun­
taineer clung, teeth gritting, while
the girl watched from high on the
hillside.
All that matters Is the rescued
mountaine er’s reply to George’s re­
quest on the way back to his'Shack
above the roaring waters:
“Take ‘er If yuh want 'er, but
ah cain’t see why yuh do. She’s
full o’ book Icarnln' and she's for­
got how to make a corn-pone.”

Citizenship in Athens
Looked Upon Seriously
In modern days the affairs of
cities and states and nations are
discussed and acted upon, not by
all the citizens, but b.v a few rep­
resentatives of these citizens, elect­
ed by them or chosen by a higher
authority. These comparatively few
legislators assemble at the desig­
nated place and act for the people
they represent. Bn; in ancient
Athens It was somewhat different
All citizens were Invited to join In
the debates in the assembly halls,
and all citizens so invited had a
right to vote directly for or agnlnst
the laws that were discussed. And
they listened to the great men as
they talked about the measures up
for a vote of the populace, such
great ones as Themlstocles, Pericles
and Demosthenes. among the
greatest orators the world has
ever seen, and then they voted.
The Pnyx, as this place of assem I
bly was called. Is partly In ruins
now, but some of It is still to be
seen on the hill across from the
Acropolis of Athens. The speakers'
platform, with its three steps, Is Im­
mediately In the foreground of the
picture. The listening Athenian cit­
izens sat on the ground now slop­
ing away to the left, but at that
time it was probably level. The
ground they occupied was Inclosed
by a circular wall. This was an
open-air "congress,” and a lively
place at times, particularly when
some Important question was up for
debate.
Two other famous buildings, the
Acropolis and the Parthenon, are
Just to the left of the Pnyx, across
a slight depression and on the neigh­
boring hill overlooking the modern
city of Athens.
The great comic magician was
In need of an assistant to aid him
In performing his mlrth-provoklng
tricks, and was Interviewing a
young man who had applied for the
job In answer to the advertisement
the magician had placed In the
newspaper.
“I need a man to help me who
can keep a straight face all through
my performance; who will under no
circumstance allow a smile on his
face no matter what silly things I
might do or say. Now, what are
your qualifications for that posi­
tion?”
“Well,”' said the young man, "I
used to be a page boy In the house
of representatives.”
Queer Things In Showers
Many reliable records can be
found of showers of larvae, lichens,
leaves, hay, worms, tonds. frogs,
fish, mussels, birds, wheat, oranges,
pebbles, salt and so on. In one i
case an alligator two feet long came i
down with a rain In Charleston, S.
O. In general, It mn.v he said that
these objects are first carried Into
the sky by a tornado. They are
usual'» carried a considerable dis­
tance, so that their source remains
a complete mystery. Colored rains
and snows are also fairly common.
These are usually due to dust, pol­
len, small water life, and so on.
Fish as much as ton Inches long
have been found far Inland.

hence when a soldier was sent to
