Mrs. Thompson of Salem spoke
at the Baptist church last Sunday.
She is a member of the Friends
church and likely has her member
ship in the same church with the
ex-food administrator and aspirant
for president, Herbert Hoover. Mrs.
Thompson is the mother of Mrs.
Dean Schumacher and visits her
daughter hqye quite frequently.
The Ladies Aid of the Christian
church was most delightfully en
tertained last Thursday by Mrs. A.
Quarsdorf. The hostess had guard
ed the ecret that it was her 35th
wedding anniversary until late in
the nfternoon, then she revealed the
treasured little secret by asking
“how many present were at Mrs.
Sloper's six years ago at a similar
gathering?" There being two or
three present who were also at Mrs.
Sloper’s, they at once recalled that
the occasion was Mrs. Quarsdorf's
anniversary. The guests were not
to be outdone by the shrewdness of
their hostess, so a couple of them
stole away to town and returned
with a beautiful cream ladle which
they presented to their hoetss and
president. She was completely sur
prised as she had been unawares
that anyone was missing. Most de
licious refreshments completed a
happy afternoon for all present.

Detective Joe Mitchell of Spoffords-
ville presented a figure of utter dejec
tion, as he jogged along the country
road In hia little buggy. Had anyone
chanced to see him, he would have
guessed that Joe was on his way to his
only source of consolation—Martha
Jackson And rightly, for the buggy
rolled paat the neat farm houses, and
begun to climb a hill road, which led
to but one place—Martha’s home.
Martha, tall and spare, with shiny
black hair, and eyes that never seemed
to smile, had lived alone, remote from
the life of Spoffordsville for many
years, working the little farm herself
and having only the hare necessities
of life. She rarely came to the vll
lage. but she had managed to attract

Mitchell. Three years ago he had be
gun to direct his mare’s steps toward
the farm on the hill, and now the way
was well-known to both horse and
master.
“I've got bad news, Martha." said
Joe. as he sat down In the shubby rock
er In the equally shabby "front room."
“Bud news!”
“Mr. Pennington tells me that he’ll
give me just two more days on this
case. If I can't find the goblet In that
time, he’ll call a defective from the
city."
Martha’s eyes clouded ns she heard
his disappointed tone. "Thev’re mak

cup." she said, scornfully.
“It’s an heirloom, that’s why. Alice
Pennington had It for a wedding pres
ent, but It's lieen In the family for
years. Now they’re offering all this
money to -get It hack again.”
“And you won’t get the money."
The voice had such despair In It that
Joe hastened to go on.
“I don't mind that so much, al
though I was counting on It. It's my
reputation that I care about. If the
City detective finds It when I can't,
what'll I be good for afterwards?"
The buggy rattled down the hill, and
Martha turned back Into the house.
“It was Just for bad news that he
came.” she sighed, "and I hoped that
It would be—fer something else."
The wedding of Alice Pennington,
the daughter of the only wealthy man
that Spoffordsville owned, had pro
duced a great sensation In the town
Mr Pennington, out of public spirited
ness, had Invited all the townspeople
to his daughter’s wedding, and so
eagerly was the Invitation accepted,
thnt practically everyone appeared. In
cluding the recluse, Martha.
When the silver heirloom was found
to be missing from the display of
wedding glfta. the local detective was
hired to solve the mystery.
The next morning s youth of about
thirteen years entered the detective’s
office.
“Hullo. Joe." said the Intruder. Inti
mately.
“Hullo, Bill.” replied the detective
to William C. Ramson, Jr.
‘Tve got news for you." said Wil
liam. “I know where the goblet la.”
"Where!” cried Mitchell, leaping to
hla feet.
William was cautious. "You know
I expect part of the—er—”
“Of course! But quick! Tell me
where It Is.”
“Hitch up and m show you.” agreed
the hey.
Ten minutes later Bill Ramson, with
the deteetlve at hi* side, was guiding
the horse along a familiar road.
“Here we are." he said, trium
phantly.
Joe looked quickly around him.
“W hat! Ton don’t mean—She ain’t—"
Bill nodded. “Tea. she hns. Lnst

Joe was silent; then he made a
snatch for the reins. “Give me them."
he cried. “We’ll turn out of here In
double quick time. Do you think I’d
accuse her?"
“All right." said Bill, cheerfully.
“Don’t then. But I will." and he be
gan to get out of the buggy.
“No. you don’t." Joe yanked him
back again. An Idea had come sud
denly to him. "You keep quiet about
this, youngster,” he said, “that's part
of your agreement, understand? Now
