The Astounding Letter Hugh Grantland Wrote Madge


 never have experienced an earthquake, but l think l had all the sensations described by those who have gone through one as the extravagant saluation in Hugh Grantand's handwriting struck my eyes. My world indeed was shak- ing, for until the receipt of the letter which l held in my hand, unwilling to read further than the wild terms of endearment with which it began, I had leaned upon the knowledge of Hugh Grantland's friendship as one might rest against the shelter of great rock.
 had known, of course, that Major Grantland cared for me with a feeling far stronger than friend ship-it is a rare woman, found mostly in fiction, l suspect who remains unconscious of great love offered al her shrine, even though the man who offers 1t conceals his feeling heroically. But l also had known, for Hugh Grantland had made it plain to me, that never by word, glance, or speech, would he trouble me with the betrayal of an emotion which any woman might be proud to have aroused, and for which, l knew, maHy women would have bartered much.
 It was this knowledge, coupled with the remembrance of the serv- ice he had rendered us in restoring Junior to our arms that had made me feel guiltless of any disloyalty to Dicky in keeping up the friend ship. which always had seemed such refuge to me.
 "A parfait gentil knight" The old quotation always has seemed to me to fit Hugh Grantland as If it had been written for him. Brave almost to foolhardiness, yet wise in strat- eEy, stern in the pursuit of his duty, yet tender as gentle woman to any helpless creature, generous, chivairous, honorable, brilliant. these qualities of mind and soul housed in magnificent body--I did not wonder that men admired him and women were willing to give him something more than ad- miration:
 Dicky Is my own man -- never have my pulses throbbed for any other-and I know that the end of my life will still find me "cleaving only to him" but
 I cannot help thrilling at the thought that Hugh Grantland's heart has been in my keeping ever since we were thrown together in war work.
 What Has Happened?
 The letter in my hand, however, if it bore out the wildness of its beginning, would spoil everything, cheapen the beautiful friendship which had been so dear to me, and make 1t necessary for me to shut Hugh Grantland out of my life.
 What could have happened to make so sane a man break out in such rhodomontade as that which was staring up at me from the paper I held in my hand?
 With a squaring of my shoulders and a realization that whatever the letter contained, I must read it, l lifted the single sheet and again read the saluation:
 "My own love forever lost to me" I shivered a bit at the crudity of it. and hurried on feverishly.
 Do not be angry at this let

Elk Rules Herd

San Francisco - A herd of buf- faloes at Golden Gate Park is un- der the autocratic sway of a lord- ly bull elk. The elk is not required to use force to execute his orders, but merely indicates by shake of his horns what he wants done and it's done, according to Custodian F.. F. Slattery. Combat in the pad dock Is distasteful to him, and he is frequently called upon to sep- arate two belligerent bulls.

SEAGIRT. y. J.. Aug. q. r John

President Coolidge's acceptance speech
failed to meet the Issue of corrup-
ton in public office. He said;
IF the public resources have been
squandered is it an answer to say
the budget system has been install
ed? If unfit and corrupt men put
and kept in office are left to their
own devices. is it a sufficient de-
fense to say that the Administra-
ton is not actually desirous of dis
honesty? If wounded veterans have
been defrauded of the care that is
his due, is there any comfort to
him in the fact that Congress had
made lavish appropriations"
