THIRTY YEARS AGO
TAKEN FROM THE 1919 FILES OF
THE MILFORD CHRONICLE

A representative of the Circuit
Chautauqua" was in Milford this
week and made final arrangements
for the holding of the course here
some time during the month of
June or July of next year. The
course which costs 100000 was
made possible by the business men
guaranteeing the sale of 900 tickets
at $500 each for the course. The
courses are educational and enter
tanning and speak well for the
tastes of a community and it is
hoped that the people of Milford
will feel the responsibility of doing
everything possible to see that the
500 tickets are sold. S. John Abbott
is president and James Anderson,
secretary of the committee that has
the matter in charge.

But she was. The sight of
her-the blessed sight of Jan.
Alive-unhurt. An6 more than

there inside the smoky room.
Stephen thought he had never
seen anything quite so sweet and
gallant as Jan. with her sleeves
rolled up, her face sooty.
Stephen held out his arms.
For one brief moment, she was
close to him. Then, she spoke,
quickly. stephen, there's a

past Christie at lie door.

asked anxiously, and then not
waiting for an answer, strobe in

her cheeks with his own.

hopefully.
"Of course / do, Eleanor" his
voice was unexpectedly tender.

Christie thought: They've had
their petty quarrels-lots of
them-during good times. But
trouble, emergencies bring them
close together. The country was
like the family. All the dis
agreements, the differences that
put sections of this big, vital
land into opposing camps were
being forgotten, showed aside
now that peril faced the nation.
Her thoughts winged out to-

STEPHEN FINDS HIS LOVE
PTER XI
BY MARY RAYMOND


The white ribbon of highway
was racing under the radiator
ornament now as Stephen put
the accelerator almost through
the floor boards as he hurtled
toward the plane plant.
The road turned and banked.
Even as he silently prayed that
Jan was safe, he thought: Mice
turn" 1t was strange how every
day things like mechanical CO.
ordination and control could in
trude at a time like this.
There il was-the plant! A
mile of windows stretching out
of sight down the perspective OF
the prairie. Funny how much
like an overturned cracker box
it was, sprawled there in the
sun.
It was still mile or SO to the
nearest building. The high wire
fence, keeping out the curious,
was on his right now. racing
madly by in accord with the 30
mile clip of his car. That was
the runway, there. They tested
the finished ship there. The pill
OTIS of air corps ferrying COM
mand lifted new battle wagons
off that asphalted stretch of run
way, bound + O God on y
knows where. The sober thought
made him think of Jan again.
Stephen could see the crowds
now. There were the ambulance
es. Police cars like jumbled
dominoes. His heart almost
stopped beating. Suppose
A khaki-uniformed guard was
standing in the road, waving
him to stop. Stephen threw
caution out the window as he
tramped on the foot brake. The
wheels locked and tires shrilled
as they skipped and skidded ov-
er the concrete. The car bounc.
ed, swerved once, Strengthened
and-stopped.
What the devil do you think
this ISL" the guard was below
ing, but Stephen scarcely heard.
The door was open and he
jumped out running toward the
scene where the crowd was
thickest. What was going on
there? He wanted to look the
other way. There was suffering
here-lots of it. White-clad in
ternes were kneeling beside in
ert bodies. We're they alive?
Stephen couldn't tell. Would he
find Jan in this awful mess?
Here, carry this!" One of the
unrses, popping out through the
opened doors of waiting ambu-
lance, showed a case of instru-
ments into Stephens hands.
Without waiting to see if he
were following, she ran for the
gate.
Stephen hesitated only frac-
ton of a moment, then dashed
after her. This must be the
place where the blast had hap
pened. 1t was a low. flat, white
building-like all the others in
the plant, but some of its win
doWs were broken.
Desperately, he sought some
sign to tell him what part of the
huge plant it was. There it was!

about fixing a cup of tea for
your mother and me? mean fix

something to do. It's good for
people to use their hands and
feet sometimes. Maybe that's
why Jan ran out"
"All right, Dad" Christie said,
mechanically. OF course, he did
not know about the accident at
the airplane factory and that
Jan was working in a welding
department. And he didn't know
she and Bart had cracked up.
If he had known these things, he
would not be feeling so conf
dent that things would work
out.
Remembering her fathers
wishes, she motioned the serv-
ants aside, and put the water on

When she came back into the
living room, her mother was
looking more cheerful. Christie
could see she had made up her
face again. Christie was think
ing with little pang: Mother
is like that. In a few days, she'll
be scrapping with us again."
The thought brought a half
smile. Well, you couldn't
change people. You could only
accept their differences, and
love them in spite of minor
flaws. That was what Dad had
done. He had gone right along.

wife seeing her good points and
generously making allowances

She placed the tray on the
coffee table in front of them.
And then stood very still as the
doorbell sounded.

father suggested.
No, let me-" Christie breath
Her heart was beating franti-

She flung the door wide. Jan
and Stephen stood there Jan
looking weary, like wan Gin
derella who had been down,
among the cinders. But in spite
of the smudges and the queer
plain frock she was wearing.
Jan was radiantly lovely.
The next moment Jan was in
Christie's arms, whispering pen
,itently: "Oh, Christie, can you
ever forgive me?" And the next
moment, she was surrounded by
the arms of her parents.
Inside, the story was told. BY

Old Early Bill Cole was taking his
ease in his last long sleep.
net, had taken the first stage from
Bantam Springs, arriving at the
small crossroads settlement of Top
Notch in the early evening. There
she and her aunt tarried overnight
at the very respectable boarding
house operated by local celebrity,
Big Belle. And there they spent the
following day and night waiting for
another stage to take them days
journey through the mountains to
the King Cole Ranch, some miles cn
the nearer side of Bald Eagle.
All this, of course, was because of
the letter she was carrying with her
now, a most mystifying communities
ton from a Mr.. William Cole-in-
triguing, even beyond its mere mys-
tification, because of the hundred
dollar yellow back that had come
with it. A huge sum of money-but
with certain strings to it.
And, upward of a hundred miles
from Bantam Springs at the trading
post where he went now and then, a
young man named William Cole
Cody had received very similar
letter. He considered the thing some
sort of a hoax-but then the hundred
dollar Expense" money enclosed
was real dough. 1t was long trip
across the mountains to Bald Ea-
gle; he had heard of the place as
had most men within pretty con-
siderable radius. Why the devil
should he pick up and travel because
some no doubt crack-brained indi-
vidual beckoned? Why? Well then,
because a thing like that gets a
mans curiosity stimulated until il
won't let him rest; because it is a
simple thing for youth to scent ad.
venture over the next hill. And, wher
he is handed key, it's sheer hu.
, man nature for a man to wonder
what lock it fits!
So in the end Cole Cody slid into
his newest boots and hat, decorated
. himself with his most famboyan
bandana, looked to his guns anc
through Black Rock Pass, ane
came in due course to the stage
stop at Top Notch. He stabbed hi.

In the morning he'd saddle and ride

But a man never knows!
He had ridden late last night ant

, commotion out in the yard attend

Long Term Lease

A lease for 1881 years, held on
farm in the parish of Kirkhill,
Scotland, covers a longer period
than any similar contract in his
tory, says Golfers. Drawn up in
the early part of the 18th century,
it was declared to be legal and
valid by the highest Scottish court
when the government attempted
to confscate the land after the
Jacobite rebellion of 1745.
