New York, June 29.-A few weeks
ago I was reading Sherwood Ander-
sons book Hello Towns" which re-
cords that writer's experiences as q
country editor in the south.
And I came upon these paragraphs:
Il have been out Of a small town
too long. 49,. These people have known
each other always. They must know
everything about eaca other. / could
not bear to have everything known
about me.
Il do not want to be intimate with
people. I have lived too long in the
cities. In the cities I could 60 around
the first corner and be lost. / was
but one more figure moving through
the city streets with thousands Of
other figures. -. Here I can avoid no
one. All will be found out about me.
I feel somewhat the same way about
It. All my youth and some of my
mid-years were passed in towns OF
from five to twenty-five Thousand.
The place Of my birth and early
childhood was even smaller-Imlay
City, Mich. My fathers store stood at
the corners" with a hitching post
and q watering trough In front OF It.
There was . pump at the corner and
the town hotel vas kat-a-corner
across the way. The fair grounds
were just down the road and the for
bidding, inaccessible fence about them
was as the gates OF paradise to q
half dozen barefoot urchins. There
was q pig-sty In III back yard and
there were always baby chicks or
ducks to play with.
Those were the days when q farmer
drove In and exchanged so many
crooks Of butter for q pair Of shoes,
unfortunately, the wholesalers from
Detroit wanted to deal in cash. So
we moved to q larger town.
It's q bit terrifying sometimes to
contemplate how much small town
folk must know about each other, and
about fathers and grandfathers and
uncles and aunts.
In q different way, Manhattan has
this situation. But 1t relates to only
q few. These have become so cele-
brated. through one reason or another,
that their every move is known and

Dad wasn't sure whether it did or
not. Still, a delay was something.
Anything might happen between now
and dawn.
"'Yes, I reckon so,' he answered
casually.
"Holstering his gun, dad took out
his keys. Two of them were alike. He
Slid one of those two under the mine

Jerry he called. I've pushed a

from me to let you out, shove 1t out

I had jumped out Of my chair as
Jerry pronounced that potential name,

most beside myself. That's the man

We settled back into our chairs.
But I was trembling with excitement
and Deacon was red In the face. Jerry
went on.
The men Lundy had named came
forward. It was quite dark now, and
their faces were indistinct, but dad
was more or less familiar with all
four of them. Burke and Webb were
big surly brutes, prospectors both of
them, and jealous Of dads success.
Dillon was q tall, rangy fellow whom
Lundy had recently taken on rs a
