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? Well. ?de?
keeners. I guess, In this -instance. _
And go Interested was the comely
lady that she promised to drive ov?r
i with her two Uttlft children some day
aoc^ and kept her pledge.
She repeated the pleasant visit twice
and then stayed p?nttanee^_Jt
seemed as though these two lon^y

was a wedding, the two homes merged

WATKKfrJK RIVER BRIDGE
War Department Aofced to AH?w the
?rWf e Built Without a Draw.
Columbia, s, tV July 27.-? An ef?
fort ts belag made by atate ami eouuty
engineers to |H>rsuado tho federal gov
or.HEueut'a war dci>artuieut to allow the
bridge over the Wateree river ,be*
tween ltlcbland and Sumter eouutlea,
to '?*? const ructed without the nooe*
?Ity of a draw span, to provide for the
pa?t*Mge of ships Kvldenee la being
gathered now by Oapt. J. Hoy IVui
noli, tho Kiohland OOlluty enginery,
together with the atate highway de
part moot, to be submitted to the rep
resentative of tho war department
at CfcarlaatoB who has charge of the
dm vlgahle stream# of <the ^tate. 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.

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.
