FIRE AT PULP MILLS
Section of Plant at Elkton Wrecked
BY Flames Causing Loss
or $4,000

As result of fire Saturday night, al
the Radnor Pulp Works, Elkton, owned
by the Jessup & Moore Paper Company,
of Wilmington and Philadelphia, the
plant will probably be closed for six
weeks.
The damage probably will be about
$50. 900; it may exceed those figures. all
depending on just how badly the ma
chinery is found to be damaged.
The fire was discovered in the engine
room of the chipping department
and in few moments had spread to
the chipping room, the place where the
wood is cut in small bits and made
ready for the digesters. in which it is
cooked.
The Elkton fire department was on
the scene promptly, but the flames had
leaped to the second and third floor Of
that section of the building.
Fire companies from Perryville, Havre
de Grace, Chesapeake City. North East,
Newark, Del, and Rising Sun respond
ed to calls. Most of the companies ran
their engines to the creek, only short
distance away. and got the fire under
control in less than an hour.
The closing down of the mill may ne
cessitate the shutdown of the Providence
mill, six miles north of Elkton, because
the latter gets its supplies from the
Elkton plant. Both mills are owned
by the same company.
The Radnor mill. the largest chemi-
cal pulp works in the United States, was
located at Elkton in 1880 by the late,
William M. Singerly, of Philadelphia.
He had pulp made there shipped to
Providence, where the paper was made
for The Philadelphia Record. which
he then owned. The mill had shut
down only about IS minutes before the
fire broke out The origin is mystery.

a loud applause ran through the
house. Nova and Ernest descended
the steps and went to the bacl
of the room and out into the hall
The other numbers were now be.
ing played but Ernest and Move
heard none of them.
"Why, Nova, when did you learr
to play so well? Why didn't you
tell me you could play?"
They sat down and Nova told
him all that had happened while he
was in London. She ended with 9
sigh-"And now, if my dreams will
only come true"
Why Mr.. Hairston is my uncle,
exclaimed Ernest. "He said he had
found a little girl in our town that
was unusually talented. / never
dreamed it was you. And Pm not
surprised either after what you
have told me because you are the
kind of girl that will work till
you have accomplished what you
have started out to do"
That year-the happiest year of
Ernest'S and Nova's school wears
soon passed.
Mr.. Hairston realized the talent
Nova possessed and saw what a
waste it would be in little town
like Carsonville. He wanted to take
her to London to live with them SO
as to- get the best advantages.
Nova finally consented and She
went to London. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hairston were alone and Nova was
great company to them. She stud
led under the greatest organists in
London.
Two years passed and now she
was recognized and classed among
the best organists in the country.
Ernest, too, had been studying in
London. He had ACCOMPLISHED much
on his violin and was now compos-
ing some of the most popular mel
odies. Often he and Nova PLAYED
the pieces he had composed at
elaborate social affairs.
1t was after one of these on a
warm moonlight night that the
two sat facing the moon that was
sending its mellow CLEAN down
over the still waters of the pond in
front of them.
"And at last, my dreams have
come true" whispered Nova soft
ly.
"And so have mine," breathed
Ernest putting his arm around her
and drawing her close.
And there they sat, NO more in
great world, where everyone is
sometime entangled in the wonder
of love and dreams come true.

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE

CONTINUED from page 81
Why, certainly, and thank you,"
returned Nova.
Just then Mrs. Crawford came
running up and excitedly exclaim-
ed.
"Nova, can't you play for Ernest
tonight? Mrs. Bowers was taken
suddenly i'll and won't be able to
be here tonight. You're the only
one that / know that can play"
ooh, Mrs. Crawford, that would
;be impossible. / have never seen
the piece and / can't read notes
well enough to play the piece from
sight"
Ernest stood with his mouth
open and frown deepening on his
forehead. Why did Mrs. Crawford
ask her to play? She had never
taken lessons and if she consented
she would make a fool out of them
both. He was afraid to say any,
thing for he knew it would hurt
Nova's feelings.
"Your's is the first on the pro-
gram and it will start in just a
few minutes. Come up to the organ
and I will show you the music"
There was nothing to do but to
follow. When she handed the music
to her Nova recognized the cover.
It was the piece that she had
learned to play while practicing,
the one she liked so we'll. She read
lily consented to play. Ernest thot
he might as well make the best of
it, but he couldn't see WHY Nova
would consent to play when she
had never even taken lessons.
The time arrived and the two
entertainers assembled to the plat
form, Nova taking her place at the
organ and Ernest stood close by.
The audience was silent. Nova be-
gan and played the introduction
through and played the chord as
a signal for Ernest to begin. They
played the piece perfectly. The
audience sat motionless and was
silent in wonder. Could it really be
Nova at the organ? Even Ernest
could hardly believe his own ewes
and ears. The parson and his wife
sat in the front row with a look
of satisfaction on their faces. They
were sure the two were making a
success Of the piece, even on such
short notice. The audience sat
motionless for moment or two
after the two had finished and then
