The strange young mans gray
roadster had been roaring through
small southern towns - all aston
ishingly alike with their fine old
homes showing through the trees
for the last two hours. At this
rate he would reach Atlanta by
nightfall. He planned to remain
there overnight with friends, and
then shove off Immediately after
breakfast for the east. .
A short distance down the road

hand, at the door of one Of those
splendid old homes, This one

it was splendid.
He knocked and. heard the
sound of stirring within. The door
was flung wide. An old colored
woman loomed before him, almost
as though she were a ghost from
the glamorous past. She reached
for his hat. The young man smiled
but kept the hat. "Never mind,
Auntie. I'll only be here for a
minute"
He had heard that hospitality
in small southern towns was close
to the old regime type. But did
they always receive strangers so
cordially? He was inside now. A
quick survey revealed the gayly
decked tables.
A girl was coming toward him.
A slender girl with bronze hair.
She wore an afternoon frock of
brown and he noted that her eyes
were brown with golden glints in
them. Her straight little nose was

They were sitting opposite each
other. Ann had decided that the
young man who had so suddenly
crossed her threshold was rather
unusual. Handsome. And his man.

utes more and he would be gone,
but just now his interest was
strangely heartening. She went
into the dining room, opened the
door and spoke to the servant.
"Tea, Molly"
During AIMS absence the
young man made discovery.
First his eyes had rested against
an old candelabra on the mantel.
A neat card against it read,
"Pair, $25." Lookir around, he
noticed white cards affixed to 9TH
er articles. Within reach of his
hand, on low table, was a small
blue vase. The card read "$15."
The tea party was progressing
when the doorbell rang.

ROAD DAMAGE
IN STATE HEAVY
W. w. Mack, Chief Engineer,
Expects Repairs TO Roads to
Cost $4,000 Extra
CAUSED BY WEATHER

The past Winter, which sent the
thermometer down to a new low
and precipitated half a dozen Sc
we're snow storms in Delaware, will
cost Wilmington, New Castle coun-
ty and the State thousands Of dol
lars in repairing and resurfacing
streets and roads. w. w. Mack,
chief engineer of the State High
way Department, said that the
maintenance expense will be about
$4,000 greater than usual in order
to repair the State highways. This
will not, however, be expended in
bulk, but as the repairs are
made. This probably will be over
period of about six months" Mr..
Mack said. There has been moth
ing approaching the destructive
ness of the Winter just past to
State highways since 1918, Mr..
Mack said, and he added that the
concrete highways and other first
grade roads stood up remarkably,
and damage to them was extreme
ly slight. The secondary roads,
however, he explained, due to the
less sturdy surfaces and materials,
broke through" a good deal. Most
of the repairs will be made upon
them. Patching work will COM
prise most of the repairs, but here
and there. the chief engineer said,
there may have to be small
amount of resurfacing. Mr.. Mack
also pointed out that there may be
what highway engineers call Gin
tangible loss that is, damage
which cannot now be seen, but
which may show up later in the
Spring or Summer as wear and
tear of traffic and Spring and
Summer rains. New Castle coun-
ty will also have to spend thous-
ands of dollars for repair of the
Winters weather and storm dam
age, Alban p. Shaw, county en-
gineer, said He said he could not
yet give an approximate estimate
of what the extra cost will be for
these repairs, but that it certainly
would run into several thousands
of dollars" The old-type surface
treated tops suffered the most of

ed, but naturally the crushed stone
and dirt roads, connecting paved !
