"Oh, for heavens sake don't do that"
Elisha pleaded. "Artie Nickerson would
be ragin' mad did he find I'd told you.
If you must know what the message
was, can repeat it near 'nough,
reckon. It ran somethin' like this:
"'Safe on Cape with my lady. Shall
return with her later"
"And that was all?" inquired Marcia
calmly.
"All! Amt that enough?" Elisha de-
manded.
AS she vouchsafed no reply he pres
emily continued:

friendly motive. It's only that those

worthless villain don't want you
should marry another. Jason was a

The woman raised her hand to check
him.
I'm aware faint pleasant to hear
me say so out loud, but it's Gods
truth"
Marcia! ~ Sylvia burst out.
"Hush, dear. Well talk of this
later. Elisha, I think I must ask you
and Eleazer to go now"
"You amt goin' to tell me where the
jewels are?"
II don't know where they are"
"Nor nothin' 'bout-'bout the tele-
gram"
Nothing except to thank you for
your kind intentions and say you
quoted it quite correctly. l sent it for
Mr.. Heath myself. My Lady, as you
have apparently forgotten, is the name
of Mr.. Heath's boat"
"My land! So it's" faltered Elisha.
'T'm almighty sorry, Marcia-I ask
your pardon"
Its all right. Just leave us now,
please"
The door banged behind the discom-
flied officials.

ASK COOPERATION
OF DEPARTMENTS
WITH COMMITTEE

All home department county
chairmen are requested by the farm
bureau and home department COM
mittee on the study of medical care
and disqualification. to cooperate
with that group by distributing the
questionnaires sent them through
the mail to persons who will fill
them out and return them to the
committee at the next county chair
men IS meeting, April 6.
The queStionnaires may be left
unsigned and sent in in a sealed
envelope. The committee will pay
the postage and states that if it is
more convenient the questionnaires
may be sent directly to Won T. ELS
worth, state chairman.
Last year the farm bureau COM
mittee distributed these forms but
received little cooperation as only
eight family forms we're turned in,
two from physicians and none from
the hospitals. AS a result. no real
report could be made relative to the
county situation.
1t is hoped this year that the
groups will cooperate as the aim
of the survey is to relieve in sat
isfactory manner to all concerned
the cost of medical care and hos
pitalization by recommendations
based on the survey. Special honor
will be given the chairman and
home department fist to send in
all the forms.
