Dual took sip of his cocoa. "On
the contrary" he returned, II do not
expect any great difficulty in recover

Laredo started, appeared about to
speak and desisted. Dayton looked
his amazement. In pure elation l
grinned.

Heffy leaned forward and shot out his
jaw with the question.

evidence at best"
"Then-how-" Heffy stopped. A
boy was coming among the tables.
"Mr. Dual! Mr.. Dual!" his treble

DESCRIBES plxoN's LINE
Writer correets Wrong Impression
Concerning Southern States

Very incorrect is the general belief
that Mason and Dixon's line, as orig
inally laid off, divided the slavehold-
ing states from the free states. On
the contrary it ran for one third of its
whole length between Maryland and
Delaware, both of which were slave
holding states at the time. The line
was run purely to settle boundary
dispute between Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Delaware.
All the same the actual Mason and
Dixon's line was as much a synonym
for trouble and dissension in it's day
as was the figure of speech to which
in after years it gave rise. And the
phrase will hold bitter meaning to

when the people of the south and
the north get together they will forge.
there was ever Mason and Dixon's
line."-From the Southern Woman's
Magazine.
