A great blessing hud come to Kvaa Worth mid ho was grateful for It au< cherished it Ho bod lost his wife oft- 1 or two yeore of married life and was about to abandon his pretty little country place at Hexham, when a poor relative asked him to take charge of a child ho had adopted, as ho himself was 111 and could not afford to pro ride for the Uby, Eugene, Out of sheer pity and because ho was lonesome, Worth accepted the duty. The lad had a twiHted limb, was thin and pale and had to use a crutch, but the shining soul in his eyes very soon brought to Worth a comfort and Joy that In a way took the keen edge away from his recent bereavement. In a short time the five year-old waif hud paid In gq^ltude and love for the kindly care of his new parent. To him the dear little farm \\as a paradise, lie became the friend of every bird, fowl and animal about the place. His days were full of song aud laughter and he shared and alleviated Worth's solitude. Worth was seated In the kitchen mending a broken harness, when an exultant shout from outside brought him to the rear door. It proceeded from tho lips of Eugene. Worth lo cated him, alive with excitement, limping about before thet closed gate of the chicken house, and, as the little fellow saw Worth ho swung aloft his crutch, shouting Joyously, "I've got them In? all of them!" Oh, come quick and sec!" The chicken yard had been empty for over a week and Eugene had mourned sorrowfully, for the feathery brood hud been among his rarest pets. A freshet had scattered devastation thaoughout the entire district and they had arisen one morhlng to find yard, garden and field Hooded and the 40 odd chickens drowned. The catastro phe hnd well nigh broken Httle Eu gene's heart and Worth had It ijx his mind to replace the loss. He hastened 'to Eugene's side now and In amaze ment stared into the denuded chicken shelter. "They came over the rise yonder and walked right In here as If It was home!" cried tlje little fellow, "and I shut them ltl. Look, a blue hen ! Did you ever hear of such a thing before / And nine little chicks. Hear them !" "I declare 1" uttered Worth, "where can they have strayed from?" "Maybe they , got lost In the storm and have been tramping around In the woods," suggested Eugene. "Of course they qiust belong to some body," continued Worth, "although I never saw a hen Of that breed before. Blue, sure as you live! At least enough of the tinge to look like the sky or the lake. A healthy, thrifty progeny, too. Well, get them some feed and we'll take care of them until the owner turns up." "And then you'll buy them, won't vou? Oh, say you will," pleaded Eu gene urgently. "I've been so lornfly since the freshet killed all the old ones." Nobody appeared to claim the blue hen and nobody who saw it and Its progeny had heard of a blue brood any where In the section. Two weeks went by and Eugene had begun to acquire a sense of permanent proprietorship as to the wandering waifs, when one morning .Worth set off in his light wagon to drive about thirty miles over the state line to look over a team of horses. He reached his Intended des tination, found the horses not to his liking and about noon was returning homeward when, prisslng through the little town of Brompton, he halted his horse as he noticed a lady's hand bag lying in the middle of the dusty road. Worth nllghted and picked up the object that had attracted his attention. He inspected its contents to And Inside a few silver coins, a pair of gloves ? and an envelope. What had apparent ly been Its enclos^jrfe lay folded beside It, and Worth glanced at its opening lines to -see if they would give him any clpw aa to the owner of the hana "Well, this Is queer," he cogitated as he read the words: "Dear Sister Madge; I suppose you will be glad to heat* from your folks In the Blue Hen state," and there followed some casual family news. ** 4Blue Hen state'?" soliloquised Worth. "I never, heard of any such, and glancing at the head of the letter he found that It was dated from Dover, Delaware. Then he read *he super scription of' the envelope. Mrs. Madge Ell la." ' - . . w ? "And you never heard of the Blue Hen state ? why, that is Just what they call It, as they do another the Gmss hopper state, and still another the Badger state, and so on," HgWtly, cheer ily explained Mrs. Madge ElHs, a bux om widow of thirty, when Worth had looated her. "And you m?t heard of a blue chicken before? That waa father's special breed when t lived at home. And }uu'.i f?a?d uiy freshet drove out. and your ?little boy to In lore with them?

A Ue i ring Is to l>^ asked for, the date not yet having been agreed upon. I'wler government requirements any stream that is navigable cannot lie. bridged except by a draw siww. While tho Wateree la not now uaed^for commerce, it ts classed as a navigable ajtreani and comes under this govern ment regulation. Unless this rule Is abrogated, the bridge will' have to be of draw construction. However, as the Wateree la not used for navigation at all, the engineers are hopeful of persuading the war department to al low tho rule t*> be broken'. foiglneejra' of the sate highway de partment are still working on the sur vey for a location tor the bridge, Sev ern! possible locations have been gone over, and It is stated that a very sat isfactory location will probably bo re poricd to the 'highway commission. Complete plans of tho location and approaches have to be drawiti and sub mitted to the commission, and it is likely that several months will elapse before the bridge project Is approved by the highway commission.

How Firestone puts the miles in ? and then proves it ? not at YOUR ex : ^ - V- sy.;~l:-zdt? " . pense . No other tubes in the world are road tested on so big a scale as-Firestones. The Yellow Cab Company of Chicago uses Firestone Tubes exclusively on its 800 taxi cabs. The servicc of these tubes is checked Constantly -improvements and developments are arrived at. By close watching of a large number of tubes in service ? not confined, to isolated instances, the conclusions are accurate and definite. Firestone puts the best in materials into ^ tubes by establishing purchasing experts at Singapore, center of the world's rubber market. Firestone puts the be?t in work manship into tubes by organizing the crack manufacturing organization of the industry on a profit-sharing basis. And then subjects the finished product to this big-scale road test ? in, order to get you more for your tube money and more miles out of your tires. And yet Firestone Tubes cost no more than the ordinary kind. Sold in Camden by BEARD'S GARAGE
