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.
J Judith nodded and wont on. "Mitt

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. ,

Judith put tho letter down a mo
ment. 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.

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.

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.
Would (he will contest have the dame
chance?"

About Stamps
By Elza Martin, Well Known
Stump Authority .
During the last few years, stamp
collecting has grown very rapidly
among the older peP as well as
the children. The daily press has
done a great deal in Interesting the
public and acquainting them with
the value, of stamps, by giving in
teresting accounts of some of the
prices paid for stamps at the various
sales and auctions. Perhaps the 24
cejit United States inverted airmail
has attracted more interest, than any
other stamp issued by the United
States government. This stamp was
printed in two colors, and thru an
error the central figure,' an airplane,
appears upside down on Just one
sheet. This sheet of stamps was
picked up at the post office in Wash
ington, D. by a stamp collector
for (24.00; today a block of these
stamps are worth $15,000.00 or the
original sheet would be worth $300,
000.00. At present there is between
ten and twelve million stamp collec
tors In the United States, who spend
about two million dollars a year for
stamps. By count there is one hun
dred and fifty stamp papers and
magazines being published in the
United States in the Interest of
stamp collecting. About six of these
publications have a circulation of
twenty thousand subscribers.
The majority of adult collectors are
using loose leaf blank albums to
house thotr stamp collections. The
loose leaf album is desirable as there
Is always space for new issues of
stamps and there Is no blank space
wasted, awaiting the stamps that a
collector will never own. Loose leaf
albums are now being made for the
specialist, who may buy Just the
loose sheets for the countries that
he may wlsi to collect.
The Mother's Day Stamp will be
printed in purple and will be issued
from both the flat and rotary presses.

Warmer Weather
Exacts Toll Of
Tire Failures
With warm weather driving de
mands ready to take their toll of tire
failures, wise motorists wi(l shortly
be asking themselves this question
will my tires bo able to "take H'.' .thls
summer?
Increased motor traffic will be
constant on the highways this year
due to many more cars being put
back Into service In addition to a
large number of new automobiles
recently purchased. . So tho motor
ist who has tire trouble on the road
will be in a tough spot, In the belief
of Foster Sims, local Goodyear dealer.
"Interesting tests recently made
on tiros at the Goodyear laboratories
In Akron show that after being run
8,000 miles the Supertwlst' cords
showed 93 per cent of their original
tensile strength ns against 82 per
cent for ordinary cords and that' at
10.000 miles the Supertwlst cord re
tained 81 per cent of its strength
while the ordinary cord had slumped
to 36 per cent," saj's Sims.
