 So, when I was honored by a call from young Brewster next day, I was almost perfect in my lines. The fruit kings son had been to the graduation if he hadn't been in the hay a minute.
 He choked around q bit in coming to the point, but finally Said he wanted to join my flock of tourists

CHAPTER III


 Well. what about Brewster" I de- mand, wondering what the lawyer had under his kelly. I never was strong for those legal slickers since the former Mrs. McGuff had a coupla them throw me to the lions in court. Judge Curtis seemed all right, but,
 Possibly you are going to find this call a bit surprising, Mrs McGuff,' my visitor utters. smiling, "but I will be very brief.
 My firm handled the affairs of the late Sam Brewster, father of Valentine. The boy is sole heir to the old fruit kings wealth, but sam made a peculiar will. Valentine doesn't get a cent of the main fortune until he's %, and he won't be that until October. I'm frank to say old Sam was not pleased with the young man just before his death He deplored some of his mannerisms and bewailed the fact Valentine had earned never a dollar.
 T cannot go into it deeply, Mir Me Cuff. But the boy will have to earn something this summer-or an unwel- come piece of news awaits him in October"

 BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Oct 14-The chief feature of Birmingham's ceebra. tion of her fiftieth birthday during the week of October 24.29 will be the his torical pageant depicting the half cen tury of development from a group of cornfields in 1871 to the south's lead ing industrial center in 1921.
 Since the first house was built in Birmingham only 90 years ago, the pageant can present only a half con tury of the history of the city itself The early history Of Alabama, colon ial days and the Civil war period and reconstruction will be grouped in a prelude The main pageant will con sist of a series of separate episodes showing the various periods in the building of Birmingham.
 Fifteen hundred persons will take part, including chorus of 500 special ly trained voices. and several hundred ' OuHS pcpplt NlIO VIII t"N' '"' '"''' ing parts Orchestra and bands will provide the music
 The pageant was prepared from mass of data compiled by local histor- ians The episodes to be presented will show the discovery of coal, iron and limestone in large quantities in sight of the present city of Birming- haw. the construction of the first small. crude iron furnaces. the open ing of coal mines in what are now the limits of the city. the growth of the city from a crude, rough, lawless min ing camp. the boom period followed by the financial disaster of the sos, the period of deflation and then the launching of Birmingham on firm foundation
 Then will come the experiments in steel making. which were finally at tended by success. the entry of the United States Steel Corporation into Birmingham, following the acquisition of the properties of the Tennessee Coal. Iron X Railroad Company, the construction of many steel mills the passing of the city from the raw ma terial to the finished product era.
 The closing episode will deal with Birmingham ofLOday, d city of 200, ,00O people. It will show coal, iron and limestone. the three requisites for steelmaking found side by side within sight of the many furnaces where pig iron is made. at the side of the giant steel plants where finished steel is made and then converted into all kinds of steel products, where it is loaded on barges made of Birmingham steel. floated down a river open to perennial navigation to Mobile and New Orleans. where it is loaded into steel liners made of Birmingham steel by a Birmingham corporation and then sent to every civilized nation Of the world.
 One part of this episode will show the opening of the Warrior river to navigation after the government had constructed Lock r, which has a dam G3 feet high. and two locks with a lift of 31& feet each. more than three feet more than the Gatun locks on the Panama canal This dam created Lake Bankhead which backs up water more than 60 miles, enabling Birming- ham to tow her products to the gulf ports.
 Other episodes will depict the prog ress of Birmingham along educational. social and civic lines from the early days when lawlessuess was rampant until today when the city lays claims to attractions as home city second to none
