INSPECTION
THE old minister removed his
pince-nez end rubbed them with
his handkerchief, a (arorlte gesture
ot bla when be was deeply thought
ful and apprehensive.
"Men like Willett," he said, "otter
a problem that takes couragu to try
and eolre. They bare the capacity
ot conquering everything but them
elves; there they need help. Life's
a battle to them from the beginning
and they are wonderful fighters, but
they waste their strength.
"Those who learn the real value
of their minds and muscles the
Power and Glory of Achievement,
not merely the mechanical comple
tion of sweat-drenched lives win.
The others lose."
He leaned his head back dreamily.

The minister bad said she might

Interested that ah stayed In town
overnight so she could arrange with
the bank tor the keys and go through
the house the next day.
And that night Allaire West,
daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Courtney
Rayburna West of New York and
Washington, stayed at an old Inn
called Carteret House, which boast
ed feather beds, fried chicken din
ners, and an open fireplace wide
enough to roast an ox.
THE next morning, In company
with an elderly bank official, she
drove up the avenue of locust trees
and unlocked th great front door.
It took actual nerve for her to enter
th house. She tried to tell herself
that anybody was privileged to look
over the place who so chose, but sh

I'd never see him again."
"I don't know what I thought," she
said slowly. "But what makes you
think that?"
'He's on the mov, my dear. Rest
less. Heading for the next tight"
She shook her head decidedly.
'I don't like a man who baa to be
coaxed Into acting Ilka a sensible
person." '
"You're not coaxing him you're
making blm see It la wortb while to
win a f'.ttle even as you see It Is
worth while to win a battle of your
own."
"Battle?" Allaire said, surprised.
Me? Why, Doctor Ross, what battle
have I, pray?"
Th Doctor smiled and put his
glnBo back on his nose.
"Your pride. You'll forgive me tor
saying that. I ust want to help you."
For a moment she looked aa
though she moat oertalnly would not
forgive him, bat his kindly serene
old oountenanoe melted her.
"I'll torsi', rou, Doctor Ross," ahe
laughed, "but don't you dust me off
again. Unless," and her smile was
lovely, "you r1oy It."
SHE had luncheon with the Doctor
and then left to "prowl around,"
as she expreesed it. and he directed

been built to catch the sun.

beautiful uneupported spiral stair

main hall, the deep fireplaces sad
carved mantels, the massive doors
with huge brass locks.
But over all lay dust and silence
and darkness. And suddenly sh
found herself tiptoeing. She felt that
she had no right here It waa Ilka
spying on a person. But, oh, Terry,
what a birthright!
She dropped her obliging guide ofl
at his bank, thanked him, and drove
to the home of Doctor Ross. The old
man waa delighted to aee her.
"I came to say good-bye," she told
him. "I'm going back to Washing

, "I'm glad you didn't forget me," he
said, smiling. "You are a real friend
of mine from now on. Com to see
me again and bring Terry with
you."
She sailled at him.
"Verily, you ar a powerful ally,
Doctor Ross," she sighed.
"An ally of you both," he cor
rected.
'But you're taking an awtul lot toi
granted," ahe protested, and once
again that flush crept Into her
cheeks. "Even It I am In love with
Terry Willett I don't know that hs
he's In love with me."
He looked at her with a curious
penetrating Intensity for such old
eyes.
"I think he Is. He must be. Hi
couldn't help himself."
he shook her head.
"Yee're absolutely Incorrigible.'
ahe declared, "but somehow, I think
I'm going to Use you."
And ahe did, her warm young
mama brushing nil wrinkled cheek
and thea she waved and departed
He stood on the verandah and
walohed her go.

Strange aa It seems, the little fish
ing town of Lewes. Delaware, aucceas
fully defended itself against an at
tacking British fleet during the War
of 1813, by picking up Brlti&h cannon
balls tired at the town and firing
them back at the ships.
The town had four cannons, but no
balls that would fit them until the
attackers supplied this necessity by
firing balla Just the right size onto
the ehore.
It started on April 0, 1813, when
the blockading fleet errlved off Lewes
end asked for euppllee, eddlng that
the town would be destroyed If the
auppllea were not sent. The towns
people decided to defend their town.
They had two 18-pounders and two
nlne-pounders. but no cannon balls
that would fit either sizes. They did
have a aupply of powder, however.
When the fleet began shelling the
town. It waa found that they were
using nine and eighteen-pound ehot.
The defendera, then, hurried about
gathering up spent cannon balla and
firing them back at the fleet. After
a 21-hour battle, during which about
(2.000 worth of damage was done to
ttie town, the fleet withdrew. In the
fleet were II ahlns. Including one
frigate, several launches, a pilot boat,
and two sloops.
