Chapter 29 DELPHY'S LETTER "JIZ DALE," Delphy came from the house, full of now dignity and Importance, "I have a letter be'ah an i dono fo'get to bring my read In' glasses. Would you-all reud It to me?" f Judith nodded. She bqw through the ruse. Delphy belonged to tlto generation which could neither read nor write, but proud of their chil dren's ability, dreaded to admit Mielr own lack. ' She took tlio letter and wtLh tho light shining through tho door at tier shoulder, read: U "Dear ftlnmmy-Delphv, 1 Rueea you don't suspect to Injur from mo so soon" 1 "That'll be from Use," contrib uted De-pliy.

Norm an 'a wlfo looked up, star tled. "Delphy, I don't know that 1 havo a right to road this letter" She started to suggest she ask ono of the boys to rend It, then afraid of .what It might 1 contain, want on reading. , "He brum Mlz Dale and Miss Tilly with thlm.

So she had had a right to be Jealous of Mntlille. nnd Norman was through. Queer to bo reading of It, peeing tho things sho saw through the penciled scrawl of a servant. "I yilAT does ho mean, Mlz Dale?" questioned Delphy, puzzled. "Goodness only knows." answered Judith and turned ngalu to the let .tor. "Mister Nonhnn ho In j-mie tip Ktntnt when oho say ihia, tnit Miz l.alo ho dnn't like It none. 1 didn't Ko loim with him because 1 ain't never forjjot the time Mlntor Nor man had his tenth blrlhdav nnd I had mine namo tinio.

I didn't want her to steal nothing from Mil Dale o 1 stay. Judith put tho letter down again. What MnlhllQ was stealing from her couldn't bo soon with tho physical eye, but It was more valuable than any treasure In Hillendale. "Read on," prompted Dilpby. "Miss Tilly Mt acted up Ju Hke (the own tlio houf.

Margawt Aas has been chosen May queen and there will be a crowning of the queen with all its attendant pomp, and the remainder of the day will be given over to sports. PROMISE MAN HAS RATTLESNAKE BITE ENTERPRISE (Special) Guy Ap plcgato was brought In from Prom iso Friday suffering from the poison of a. rattlesnake bite, lie was taken to the hospital for treatment and Is getting along very well. He was work ing on a fence and put his right hand down toward the ground when his second finger was struck. His wrist was bound tight and the wound opened and blood was drawn out, but his arm and hand swelled ho much that it was thought necessary to net to a physician. Into Hillendale until Mister Norman marries her." "Mis Dale, Is you and Mister Nor man going to got a dee-vorce?" It was a personal question and If Delphy hadn't sacrificed her own comfort, in fact everything pertain ing to herself In her zeal to take caro of her "Mlz Dale," Judith might have resented It. As It was she could understand. "I hope not, Delphy. 1 dou't want a divorce. You and 1 both know that Mister Norman Is the finest man la the world." "Suro do," affirmed Delphy, then, "But, Miss Judy, how como you run away and leave him 'thout you don't want to?" Judith put Into words the old wo man would comprehend what bad led up to her taking Dig Tom's place at the dam. DELPHY Interrupted "I see," she said, and proceeded to condense Judith's wordy explanation Into a lino. "Ulg Tom wanted the dam built for good, 'n' old Lamps-cai he wanted It built for evil." She studied a moment then arose. "Mlz Dale, you gotta stay right here, you 'n me. We gotta stay right hero 'till that dam is finish, else Old Mister Tom, he'll come back find bant you the resta' your days. Judith paid little attention to Delphy the next day and so did not boo her In conference with Goodwin, a young engineer with whom she, Judith, bad gono to college, nor did sho talk to that delighted young man until after tho mail hod gone out the day following. . Say, Judy, that old servant of yours is a card," bo confided that evening. "She had mo write- to her son Lfge. becnuso she forgot her fountlng pen. " "Sho asked you to write." Judith was alarmed. Sho not only bad hoped ao know whnt went Into Del phy's letters but to protect herself from word of her personnl affairs getting out Into illg Tom Town. "es, sho said you were too busy. 1 thought you'd get a kick out of hearing some of the things she Mad me write. For instance, she said you wero eating your heart out for Mis ter Norman, but scared to come homo for fear Dig Tom's ghost would como along after vou and shoo you right back. She haft me letl ' Llgo that you took all of your or ders from this ghost and she thought you wero his mo-jam." "Mejum?" questioned Judith, then with a wall "Oh, dear she meant me dium, can't you Imaglno whut a dell cato morsel of gossip that will be after Llgo spreads It with his usual elaborations? Anything else?" "Nothing much. Slio said for him to take good enre of Mister Norman and mako sure Uosa Williams didn't starch his cuffs in hot weather, and if Matilly enmo over ho was to put art sink In her coffee." . "Art sink?" questioned Judith. "Arsenic," Interrupted Goodwin. "Oh, my goodness, I hope Llgo doesn't take hor sorlously." "I hopo ho does," Goodwin con tinued halt humorously. "I Imaglno a lot of us would rest enslly If Ma tilly swallowed a dose of something of the it hid. Seen today's paper? Of course, you hnven'L Tho boys brought one In on tho band car. Lampuro's succeeded in having the case moved up on tho calendar, they called for a jury this morning." Judith's brent li caught in a quick gasp. Sho realized she mustn't let her alarm spread to even tbe most unimportant junior engineer In tho place, "Goodwin," she confessed, "I've been so busy I haven't oven thought of tho will contest." "You must be pretty suro of win ning," ho said. "Well, If Ulg Tom built bla defense as well as ho fore cast tho specifications on this dam wo' re all safe." "Yes," said Judith quietly. Tho conversation drifted on Idly, returning, Judith realized, to tho sub joct of Uig Tom llovlns with aston Uhlng frequency. Kevins had been a leading light in lite business world, sho knew well. Now she was learning from Goodwin that ho was a legend among oven tho engineering students In the Texas schools. "1 think sometimes." said Good win, "that bo was helping half the young would-bo engineers In Texas. I know he helped mo." "And inc." Iltil Judith found It difficult to con cent rate even on Illg Tom's virtues it!i the menace of Lampcre always in the hack of her mind, and was nlad when Goodwin rose. Aficr ho had left sbo went to her chair on the lltilo front porch. The dam was being constructed by loyal hands, no chance of subterfuge, faulty material, dishonesty there.
