Every time I write an article

with letters such as these:
From Mrs. j. v. H., Fresno:
II came to this country from
England six months ago, and
I have come to a conclusion as
to the English language: Bri-
tons developed it; Americans
have crippled it."
From c. s. r.. Washington,

there is no American language?
In that case we drive motor
cars not automobiles. We drive
to a 'petrol-pump' where the
serviceman cleans our wind
screens with a 'wiping leather,
and raises our bonnet so as to
check the, water in the 'accumu-
lator," and tighten our spark
ling plugs with a 'screw-span-

are now so different that every

What do you mean?" asked
Mr.. Muzzy. I'VE couldn't beat
1t with a crowbar."
OF course, Mr.. Muzzy was
wrong as usual. Against good
defense Miss Brash had no play
forwthe hand. Do you see why?
Mr.. Dale was in reminiscent
mood. 1.-THE simplest way is the
best way" he said to no one in
particular. I'm the old days, If
your partner led an ace and you
had K 10 2 and played the ten,
you could be reasonably sure
partner would continue the suit.
But not any more.
To-day. II you give your part
ner a come-on signal in q suit,
he reads some deep. dark, mys-
terious meaning into 1t. Your
real meaning. childlike in its sim
plicity, is lost in a maze Of COM
plicated conventions"
| Here is what brought this on:
Mr.. Muzzy opened the king Of
spades against the heart slam.
Now Mr.. Dale saw that. unless
Miss Brash had the almost inn
possible holding Of a singleton
spade herself. a high spade con-
tinuation at trick two would beat
the contract.
Dummy would have to ruff and
that would leave only one trump
on the board to lead through Mr..
Dale's twice-guarded king of
hearts.
So at trick one Mr.. Dale played
his highest spade, the ten.
Lets see that trick" said Mr..
Muzzy.
Delighted that his play had
been noticed at all, Mr.. Dale
faced the cards.
which card did you play,
partner" Mr.. MuzZy asked.
THE ten," answered Mr.. Dale
happily.
Nodding knowingly, Mr.. Muzzy
proudly switched to a diamond.
Thus Miss Brash was enabled to
take two heart illnesses and make
her bid.
How did Mr.. Muzzy get the idea
that the ten of. spades called for
a diamond switch? Well. he has
been studying about suit pref
erence signals. He thought the
ten of spades asked for the lead
of the higher of the other two
plain suits. That's the conven-
ton, all right. but it applies only
when it is very clear that the
continuation Of the first suit
cannot gain.

widow. The Turner's in turn were
taken by the Indians in 1856 and car
ried into captivity at Kittaning where
Turner was tied to post and heated
gun barrels run through his body.
After three hours of torture he was
scalped alive and killed with toma-
hawk.
The widow and her four boys were
compelled to witness the horrid
scene. Mrs. Turner and an infant son
by John Turner were claimed by the
Delawares and carried away into the
wilderness.
Thomas Girty escaped and lived a
useful life, raised family and died
on Girty's run, near Pittsburgh, in
1920. Simon, then Is, was adopted by

adopted by the Delawares. All remain

they were surrendered to the white
people at Pittsburgh. All were ILL

Simon became an Indian interpreter
and later became the most infamous
renegade in American history. Final
ly blinded, he died in 1918 at Maiden
near Detroit when living with his
daughter, who ran tavern. His wife
had been Catherine Malett, a white
girl who had been captured on the
Ohio River in 1780.

miles west of present Fort Wayne,
Indiana. Later he became as blood
thirsty a renegade as had his brother
Simon and lived with both the Della
ware and the Shawnee tribes.
George was a lieutenant in the
Continental army but deserted to the
British in 1779 and became an inter-
prefer stationed at the Shawnee town,
Wapatomica. Like his father he be-
came confirmed sot and finally died
in a drunken fit at James Girty's
trading-post just before the War of
1872 broke out. What had become of
his Indian wife is not chronicled.
OF the Girty brothers, James ap-
parently was the worst and many of
the atrocities against the white people
credited to the notorious Simon Girty
actually were committed by James
Girty, whose Indian town, Girty's-
town, was where st. Marys, Auglaize
County, now stands.
So goes the story of Girty's Is
land in the Maumee near Napoleon
and of the infamous family whose
name it still bears.

Girty's Island

1t is a legend, recollected by a
very old frontiersman more than 100
years ago but quite likely to be true
nevertheless-the story of Girty's
Point and the little island in mid
river to which time gave Girty's
name.
Girty's Point was on the left bank
of the Maumee River about five miles
north of later Napoleon, Henry
County, and there in the 1905 he
had little store and a cabin where
he lived with his Delaware wife.
In the middle of the river almost
even with Girty's cabin was beauti-
full island of about 40 acres, thickly
wooded and tangled with under
growth. There when Girty became
fearful of an attack by white men
he would flee in fancied security. II
became known as Girty's Island anG
the name stuck to it for more thar
century-maybe, like Girty's Point
forgotten now.
The venerable pioneer who related
the story had it that this was the
notorious renegade, Simon Girty
Later intensive historical research re.
vealed that it was Simon's brother
George Girty, a renegade equally
infamous.
George Girty was born in 1745, the
youngest of four sons of Simon Girty
Sr., an Irishman and Mary Newton
an English girl, who were married
about 1887 and settled on the Penn
sylvania border, where the husband
became an Indian trader. Their other
sons were Thomas, born 1889; Simon
1741; and James 1743.
The old man was a confirmed
drunkard and became so beastly that
an associate kicked him in the heao
and ran off with his wife. In 1851 he
was killed in his own cabin by ar
Indian called "The Fish,. John Tur.
ner, who then lived with Girty, aveng,
