OUR LEVY COURT

WYE re-publish in this issue timely editorial from
w The Morning yesterday, which deals with
the Levy Court of New Castle county.
Various imputauons against the management of that
body during year 1s21o22 have been widely circu-
lated, apparently from interested motives, and as It
seems to us that the taxpayers New Castle county

we shall endeavor TO set them forth clearly
sible.

agement control the Levy Court during the year
above mentioned imputatons against their con-
duct affairs, though styled irregularities are really
charges against integrity and efficiency as
well as reflections upon the capacity for seIfgovern-
ment of the good people OF New Castle county.
These charges may be summed up folIows-that
there budget-that those I'm control were grossly
extravagant inasmuch they expended for the pur-
chase of sixteen automobiles the enor-
nous s4e,ooo-and, lastly that they pro-
posed the during the coming year so
as TO provide these unoaed for expenditures
We hnd however, upon inquiry, that there was
budget that question of raising the tax
rate and that the purchase and main-
tenance of automobiles for year 1O21s22 shown
by the County comptrolIer's books, was s14,oiSss-

HOUSE FAMINE HERE
TO CURTAIL MOVING

The usual May l moving trek will
not be as heavy this year as usual,
according to real estate agents. The
reason given is that there is no place
to go. There are no houses anu al
though some apartments are avail
able the number is not large. Houses
figure chiefly in the May l movings,
and apartments in the migration Sep
tember 1. The movement to the
lakes does not amount to much from
the real estate peoples standpoint,
as most of the movers own their own
homes.
Rents are remaining stationary, in
spite Of reports from time to time
that they were coming down. This is
true of both residences and stores.
The moving season Is not so quiet,
however, as to have spared the van
companies all the excitement that
attends the closing days Of April. A
number Of companies are unable to
take further orders for movings that
have to be completed by May /. The
Sabbath will be broken in a good
many cases on account Of the fact
that the last day of the month falls
on Sunday.

Humphrey Marshall Will Long Be
Remembered as Writer OF the
First American Botany.

Humphrey Marshall, author OF the
first American Botany, was distin-
guished pioneer horticulturist. he
was a cousin Of John Bartram, and
his own garden at Marshalltown, Pa,
was almost as famous as the we'll
known Bartram's garden at Kingses-
sing.
In 1850 Humphrey Marshall began
TO prepare an account of the forest
trees and shrubs of this country,
which was completed and printed at
the end of 17S5. Its full title was
"Arbustum Americanum: the Ameri-
can Grove, or an Alphabetical Cata-
logue of the Trees and Shrubs, Ma
tiyes of the American United States.
II was considered useful and highly
creditable work for the times. Mar
shall was the author also Of the I'm
PRODUCTION to the knowledge and
Prs .tice Of Gardening" which was the
second horticultural work printed In
America. 1t appeared in 1893.

Harriet glanced down at herself and
smiled.
"You might wear pearls-or some
thing-with It," Richard said. "Do you
like pearls?"
1t was astonishing to see the color
come up in her dusky skin; her eyes
met his almost pleadingly.
"Why-I never thought!" she said,
in some confusion.
II suppose a man may ask his wife
if she likes pearlsT' Richard said, i'm
PEELED by some feeling he did not de-
fine. He had leaned back in his chair,
and half-closed his eyes, as he studied
her.
"Oh-pleasew Harriet said in an
agony. She gave a Mortified glance
about, but the library was closed and
silent. "Some one might hear you !!
she whispered. And a moment later
she rose to her feet, and eyed hin
quietly. "Was that all, Mr.. Carter?
she asked. 1t was Richards turn tC

again. He was still smiling when she

Harriet waited, amused. annoyed,
impatient.

said, that you and my son-for some
reason best known to yourselves

Your first object, my dear, is not to

my word, / don't understand you!"
81 said you have no reason TO disbe-
lieve him." Harriet repeated. You
said that you understood that we had
been married. 1t is true!"
And she looked off toward the river
with an expression as composed as
that of Madame Carter herself.

ing: "A secret bride has secret to

antly.

much with the children of the neigh

answered. "My father was very anx-
ious to protect us from picking up ex-
pressiOns of that sort"
There was a silence. Harriet, be-
ginning to be ashamed of herself, did
not look at her companion.
"a girl Of your age has a great deal
Of confidence when she marries into a
family like mine" the old lady said,

presently, in q tone that trembled a
little. "My son is a rich mamie Is
a prominent man. He has used his
own Judgment, of course. But / con-
fess that in your place / should not
carry myself with quite so much an
air Of triumph! 1t seems to me"
Harriet determinedly regained her
calm, and taking the chair next to the
enraged old lady, quietly interrupted
the flow Of her angry words.
81 hope I have shown no air Of
triumph. Madame Carter" Harriet
said. "You yourself-and most wisely
pointed out to US a few months ago
that the arrangement here was un-
conventional"
Every one was talking, II you mind
that I" the old lady snapped. But she
was slightly Modified, none-the-less.
'But upon my word. you'd think mar
rying into the family was something
to be done every day." she was be-
ginning again, when Harriet inter-
rupted again.

ceding the last words an amused
smile that itself rather helped to pla-
cate her companion. at is, of course.
the most serious step of my life! But
the secrecy-as Of course you will ap-
preciate-was because there has been
so much terrible notoriety this year |!
| Why, Mr.. Carter tells me that never
in the history of all the Carriers"
| This fortunate lead was enough.
Madame Carter launched forth superb
ly upon a description Of the usual Car
ter weddings, the ceremony, the state.
In perhaps twenty minutes she was
blandly patronizing Harriet, giving
her encouraging little taps with her
eyeglasses, warning her Of mistakes
that Isabelle had made with Richard.
Harriet knew that before three days
we're over her terrible mother-in-law
would be telling the world just how
wise, under the trying circumstances,
the whole. thing was, and just how
clearly she had foreseen 1t. She was
still listening respectfully, If a trife
confusedly, when Ward bounded from
the house, and gave her an effusive
embrace.
"Hello. Mamma I" Ward said. Har.
riet laughed, as she pushed away the
filial arm. Hardly knowing what she
said or did she made her way to the
house, and up to her own room.
But here. in Nina's room, were Nina
and Mrs. Tabor, and from their eyes
as she came in, she knew that they
knew. Nina got up, and came for
ward with a sort Of sulky gracious
ness.
81 hope you'll be very happy, Miss
Harriet suppose / oughtn't to cal
You Miss Harriet any more" Nina
said, with an effort to smile that Har
riet thought quite CHASTITY. She gave
Harriet one of her big hands, and hest
tated over a kiss. But they did no
kiss each other.
At luncheon everything was exactl!
: as usual; Richard had gone to tn
civ. not to return for night or two
and several social engagements dis
tracted the young people from the con
; formulation of their fathers affairs.

CHAPTER XII.

It was the gayest spring that Har-
riet had ever known at Crownlands,
for even at her best, Isabelle had been
socially an individualist, devoting her
self to one man at a time, and to no
body else, and the whole family had
necessarily accepted Isabelle's atti-
tude. Richard had been too busy to
notice or protest, the old lady help
less, and Nina a child.
But now there was a beautiful and
gracious woman In Isabelle's place,
and long before the world knew that
Harriet Field was really Harriet Car
ter, there was a very decided change
in the social atmosphere. Richard be-
gan to bring his friends to the house;
he was proud of his smoothly running
establishment, and proud Of the
charming woman who neither flirted
with nor ignored the men he brought
home.
Always beautiful and always busy,
constantly in demand on all sides, she
went about his house like a smiling
worker of miracles, and Richard
watched her. When she went home
to her sister for day or two he
missed her strangely, and wandered
about the empty rooms with a desc
late sense Of loss.
She was presently back, and amused
the young people at the dinner table
with spirited account Of her sisters
move into a new house-'really an
old house." that she and her family
had been watching for years.
Nina and Amy and Ward had rushed
from the dinner table to an early
dance at the club, and Richard, after
a talk with his mother on the terrace,
had wandered about with a vague
hope Of finding Harriet somewhere
with her book. But she was not
downstairs.
He went back. and presently accom-.
panied his mother to her door. The
old lady stopped outside Of Nina's
open door, from which subdued light
streamed.
"Oh, Miss Field" said Madame
Carter.
"Yes, Madame CarterT' The rich
ready voice responded instantly. Rich
ard hoped she would come to the door
but his mothers message was deliv
cred too quickly to make 1t necessary

"Oh, yes, Madame Carter" Harriet
answered. The two exchanged good

and went back into the dimly lighted
spacious upper hall. He felt oddl!
stirred; there were letters downstairs
his usual books and amusements, bu
| he felt curiously impelled to try fol
one more word with Miss Field.
He opened the door of Nina's room
and went In, and knocked on the half
open door within that connected
with Harriet's room.

Inventor Of the Locomotive.

George Stephenson, the renowned
English engineer who invented the
locomotive, never saw the inside Of a
university. He started his career as
assistant fireman in the colliery
where his father was employed, and
it was due to self-teaching and untir-
ing application to this trade that he
managed to produce in 1914 the first
real travelling engine" This so out
classed the crude models of others
who had also tackled the problem
that Stephenson well deserves to be
called the man who made modern
railroading possible.
