Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER Greeley Wished to Share With Others r , When Horace Greeley was in Greencastle, Pa., to deliver a lecture, F. M. Ritezel, a Warren, Ohio., editor, went over to ask him if he would also address a gathering in Warren while he was in this region. The two men were walking along the street in Greencastle, Ritezel urging him to come to Warren and Greeley eating a peach. When the immortal editor finished the peach he threw the stone carefully into a field so that it might take root and develop into a tree. As he did he said: "There, somebody may have the good of it. .

Simon raised himself on his arms and called down to them through the twilight Hi, he said, what about the other mall? Theres more. Tubbys got it, MadeIn his pocket He's line explained. coming across the bridge now. I can hear his delicate footsteps. Tubby came around the end of the house. His face was very red. He was not smiling. He was almost frowning. Madeline glanced significantly at Sally, who compressed her lips and stared at her brother. Tubby stopped beside the steps, only a few feet in front of Deborah, so that as he took the letters from his inner coat pocket she could easily see them. Idly, as he called out a name, she glanced at each envelope. . . . Nothing Simon," he announced. for you, Bryn. Sally, two for you. Nothing at all for you, Deborah, and Madeline had hers in town. Another for you, Simon. And here, he said is a letter for you, Mrs. gallantly, Larned. It looks very Interesting. Written in a bold, dashing, masculine hand, with a very thick enclosure, it carries with it a hint of mystery. He had been holding out Simons last letter, waiting for him to take it, as he spoke; so that Deborah had had a moment to take in the meaning of the handwriting on Grandmothers enit was velope. It was familiar dreadfully familiar. A cold Icy hand clutched at her heart, and she felt herself turning faint again, as she had on that dreadful afternoon on the wharf . . . she put out her hand involuntarily for the letter and made a queer little strangled sound. Grandmother was smiling at Tubbys nonsense, waiting for her letter. She did not notice Deborahs face. But Bryn did. He stood up sharply. He saw Deborahs whiteness. He put out his hand and took the letter from Tubbys. He glanced at It He looked over at Grandmother. He could be arrested for this, he told Grandmother grimly. Interfering with government mails. Bribery and corruption. The crooked game of politics. Tubby stared at him, his mouth open. Shut up, Bryn told him, although he had not spoken. Not a word out of you, you iniquitous scoundrel. Trying to defraud me of my rightful property, indeed. This is my letter.

Oh, dear, Grandmother murmured, You two keep me in a perlaughing. I dont fect state of bewilderment. suppose I shall ever be able to tell whether you are talking sense or nonsense. Tubbys fault, Bryn answered, thrusting the letter into his pocket. Tubbys an awful ass, Grandmother. You have no idea. Hes all right, Simon explained. He smells the dinner. Were going to have duck and watercress. ... Deborah stood tensely before the window, hands locked together, waiting for Bryn to come downstairs after taking Grandmother up to bed. Tonight of all nights, Grandmother had stayed up half an hour later," and all the time Stuart Grahams letter, filled with all sorts of unimaginable possibilities, lay unopened In Bryns pocket Bryn came in quickly and shut the door behind him. Deborah broke away from Madelines arm. She took a step toward him. She put her hand out mutely. ills eyes were upon tier face. He compressed his lips. Ills hand went to an inner pocket, and then he said, quietly, Just a minute, Deborah. Are you perfectly sure that you're not mistaken? Oh. yes, yes! she cried, and the air in the room was suddenly electric, as if someone had turned a switch. Bryn drew the letter out. He looked at it.

Bryn ripped the end off the envelope, and drew out the folded pages. He Shall I glanced at Deborahs face. read it, Deborah? She nodded mutely. Bryn straightened the pages and began. My Dear Mrs. Larned: Naturally I cannot imagine Just what Deborah has told you regarding the failure of our plans In San Francisco, but I am afraid she may not have shown me In a kindly light For the past month I have been most anxious to write and explain the situation to you but circumstances beyond my control have made it impossible for me to at do so. I suppose it is useless for me to ex- pect that after hearing Deborahs story, whatever it was, and after this long silence on my part, you can have any sympathy for me and the position in which I now find myself. But I must ask you to accept the explanation which I have made in regard to my silence in view of the fact that I am an enlisted man in the navy, completely under the arbitrary control of any whim of my superior officers and subject to the restrictions of anyone on board a ship out of touch with land and such conveniences as mails. And now for Deborahs story. What she has told you, I do not know, as I mentioned before, but looking at the matter from her point of view, and trying to be just and generous, I am forced to the conclusion that whatever she told you must have been both exaggerated and biased. I was very much disturbed over the whole business, and spent all my shore leave when in San Francisco trying to find her and explain, but of course It was an impossibility to do so. I dont know whether it has occurred to you, Mrs. Larned, to think how completely ignorant of the world and its ways Deborah is. I was prepared, of course, for a certain amount of unsophistication, knowing to some extent how she had been brought up, but I did not realise that any girl could possibly, in this day and age, have remained so .ntirely unaware of all trends of modern times. I have, of course, every respect for the manners and customs of the time of my parents and grandparents, as I am sure you will know, but having lived a normal life, I have naturally progressed with others of my generation to an acceptance of the manners and customs of the present day. Deborah has not. This was obvious to me on our first meeting, from her appearance and from her absolute inability to meet an ordinary situation with calmness. 1 grant you that it must have been difficult for her to come down alone to meet me, and perhaps if I had known just how difficult, if I had realized Deborahs state of mind and lack of understanding of modern life as it is lived, I should have been able to overcome her objections and explain away her difficulties. As it was, .1 could do nothing. Deborah was in a state of frantic terror before I had a chance to see her at all, and by the time I reached her, she was beyond ordinary reasoning. I am bitterly sorry for it all, and reproach myself that I didnt guess what to expect, and so prepare the situation accordingly. It seems to me that I might have been warned, Mrs. Larned, of what I should have been expected to encounter. Even as it was, I might have been able to overcome Deborahs childish terrors had it not been for the absolutely unwarranted interference of some unknown person in the lawyers office. Deborah will probably have mentioned him to you, and made some satisfactory explanation as to her conduct I was certainly pained and astonished to discover that she had so little good taste as to be willing to take up at once with a stranger. The fact of Mr. presence was all that reconciled me to leaving her, angry as I was. I may add that the time will come when I will make It my business ys strangers Identity and settle with him for the insult he offered me. However, this is all beside the point. The really serious question between us is that of your husband's will and Deborahs estate. With my copy of the will I have consulted a lawyer, and It Is his that under certain circumopinion stances we might make a fight for the estate that would ultimately prove successful. The circumstances are, of course, a marriage between Deborah and myself which would take place with your approval. This, unless there are aspects of the case with which I am not familiar, seems to me to be, from your point of view, an absolute necessity. I have examined the list of securities named in the will as the source of your present income, and, as you doubtless know only too well, most of them are completely worthless. How you have managed for the past few years Is a mystery, and may possibly explain Deborahs appearance and obvious lack of advantages. In any case, no mitigation of your circumstances may arrive except through me, and although I was deeply hurt . . . I think I broke his jaw, Bryn said happily , . . deeply hurt and mortified, not to mention my disappointment and the general disruption of my plans, I am willing, for the sake of the friendship which has existed between our families for so long, I am willing to do what I can to make things easier for you. I have obtained from my commander an extended leave of absence, and I am leaving San Diego tomorrow morning to drive up the coast to your home. You may expect me at the latest by Wednesday noon, unless I meet with unexpected difficulties along the road. Yours sincerely, to discover this STUART OGDEN GRAHAM. Bryn folded the letter. Tubby thrust his hands Into his pockets and began to saunter up and down the room, whistling beneath his breath. Simon put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling. Sally was trembling with excitement and clutching Simons knee, and Madeline walked slowly across and dropped down beside Deborah. Well, Tubby said, buttoning his coat and squaring his shoulders, if hes got to be kept away, hes got to be kept away, and thats all there Is to it. After all, there are four men of us here, and Burch. Five against one. That ought to be easy. You talk as if we were going to Sally said tearfully. fight about it, With guns. It Isnt half as blundering or easy as that. Not half, Madeline echoed. This Is going to be strategy. And strategy, Tubby, never was your strong point, if She smiled np you will remember. at him, a warm tender smile that made him blink and look as if he saw her for the first time. But youre a darling, Tubby, and youre loyal and strong, and worth a lot more than one of those slippery strategists. Well, gee, Tubby said, bewildered, and sat down. We might bar the road, Tubby said Put a gate across it, you hopefully. know. "Somebody would have to guard it, of course, Bryn said thoughtfully. And hed want to know why he couldnt pass. If I stayed there myself and had a talk with him, explaining the situation, it might help; but I wouldnt fust him not to pretend to go away and then to sneak back when we werent watching just to see what harm he could do. (TO BE CONTINUED) Cites Red Squirrels, Enemies of Gray Kin, Cause of an Extensive Migration A new answer to the zoological mystery back of the extensive massjnigra-tio- n of gray squirrels from New England to points south is offered by Dr. Ralph G. Jackson, of the United States fisheries station at Barneveld, N. Y. Doctor Jackson believes that the grays have been literally driven out by the red squirrels, the latter having prospered immeasurably as the result of the extensive slaughter of their natural enemies, the hawks, owls and foxes, under the guise of conservation. The latest mass migration of gray squirrels from New England to New York Is said to cover an area of 100 miles. Large numbers of the travelers have been found dead along their course, some 2,000 having been picked up on the west shore of the Hudson river. Others have been found on the shore of Gilboa aqueduct in the the fact that the two species have been found living amicably together, as making Doctor Jacksons explanation appear unlikely. Porto Rico Ancient Roads More than two centuries before the arrival of the Pilgrims, Porto Rico was the center of Spains western civilization. Its massive old fortresses abound with historic lore, successfully resisting many a desperate onslaught A network of marvelously constructed roads traverses Porto Rico in every direction. Included in the system are highways built centuries ago, notably the Military highway, on which conquering legions once marched.
