THE NEWNAN HERALD, NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1920,
(©; 1920. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Marcia Brewster gave a cheery
“Whool Whoo!" as she closed the
heavy outside door and stood within
the warm rays of the sitting room
lamp.
“Any mall, mother?" she asked, af
ter she had, greeted the little woman,
who had risen at her entrance.
“Yes, a letter for you." The name
of Howard P. Loring appenred in one
corner of the business-like envelope.
It was a lawyer’s letter and contained
a single sheet’of finely printed text—
a proof slip of the citation of the will
of Marcia’s old friend, Mrs, Alexander.
At the top appeared, In inrger type,
this notice: “No attention need be
paid to this citation unless the per
son to whom It Is sent desires to ob
ject to the allowance of the will."
The thought that she, Marcia Brew
ster, was a beneficiary In a will was
so strange and so sudden that she
could hardly realize her good fortune.
“Mother!” she called In an excited
voice, “Mrs. Alexander must have left
me something! This letter Is from her
lawyer. Oh, do you suppose it is a
hundred dollars? Perhaps It is five
hundred I If only it were a big thou
sand we could pay ofT the mortgage
and have two hundred loft over."
Two weeks dragged by; meanwhile
Martha told of her good fortune to a
few Intimate friends, who hoped the
gift would be a goodly sum, but no
more news from the lawyer. At Inst
she could bear the suspense no longer.
“I wonder If It would be proper to
telephone and ask the amount," she
soliloquized, Vor would It appear like
vulgar curiosity?”
She did not want to appear greedy
before the cultured Mr. Lorlng. Mar
cia thought of him again. The last
time she saw him was at Mrs. Alex
ander’s funeral. He was Mrs. Alex
ander’s nephew, and every time she
visited) him, generally Thanksgiving
and Christmas, he sent back a kindly
message of greeting to Marcia. “If
you only lived where you two could
see each other often, things might be
different," Mrs. Alexander was wont
to sny, who, like many another old
lady with nothing to do, was interest
ed in the ways of youth.
Marcia finally decided she would not
telephone, but call at Mr. Lorlng’s of
fice and ascertain just the sum she
was to receive. The following day
found her inquiring of a neat-looking
stenographer if Mr. Loring was In.
“Did you have an appointment?”
asked the business-like young woman.
“No," Marcia answered, feeling more
embarrassed every mlnnute.
After a little delay. Mr. Loring made
his appearance, smiling pleasantly
with the kindly manner that, as he
talked, quickly put pretty Marcia at
her ease. Very soon he was seated at
his desk with the copy of the will be
fore him. This is whnt he read aloud:
“To my young friend, Marcia Brew
ster, I give the marble statuette of
Apollo." That was all, and the digni
fied lawyer paused and looked straight
Into the blue eyes of the disappointed
girl opposite him. He must have read
their thoughts, for boos’ he added in.
somewhat softened tone with a trace
of apology, “My aunt was a little pe
culiar at times, Miss Brewster, but,”
he added, “I know she was very fond
of you."

One year lattr. Another front door
opens and closes and a gentleman
comes In quickly’ from the gathering
darkness. No other object in the at
tractive sitting room- Into which he
enters receives one-half the attention
as a certain marble statuette of Apol
lo. It Is owned by one Marcia Brew
ster Loring, who now comes eagerly
forward to welcome the newcomer. In
her beautiful home her heart daily
Bings for joy and gratitude over the
good fortune that she says her little
god brought her—the coming into her
.life of another Apollo, this time the
true god of love.
Burroughs Eats Groundhogs.
John Burroughs, the dean of nnture
writers, spends his summers at Wood
chuck lodge In the Catskills. This
season.lie has displayed with pardon
able pride a handsome coat made of
the woodchucks which he shot or
trapped the year before.
The farmers in that vicinity have al
ways been pestered with these rodents,
and Mr. Burroughs Is giving them an
object lesson in how to turn their hin
drances into help, for he has a rug of
woodchuck skins before his cot on the
veranda, and the coat for comfort In
cold evenings, while a young 'chuck
occasionally forms a saTory item of
the midday meal.—From a Bulletin by
Houghton Mifflin Company. -

For the benefit of automibllists who
have wondered why the road from Exe

is explained that when the first settle
ments were being made lu New Hamp
shire, a bear made a night raid on that
part of the Hampton settlement known
as Wigwam row, and men in pursuit
the next morning followed Its tracks
in the light snow to Its watering place
-at Squamscott falls, and built the road
accordingly.—Boston Herald.

Existence May be Likened, with Con-
slderable Truth, to Any One

Rode Horseback 5,000 Miles.
The record for the longest individual
ride of which an authentic account has
been given Is held by Lieut. Pencbkof
of the Russian cavalry. In 1SS2 he
rode from Ills station In distant Si
beria, a place with an unpronounce
able name, to St.. Petersburg, a dis
tance of over G,000 miles, in 108 days.
This was more of nn endurance than
a speed test. Riding nn ordinary pony
of Siberian breed, carrying no baggage
or provisions, he averaged thirty-seven
miles a day and often mode mors than
fifty-six miles a day. He rested at
night. He used the same horse
throughout the trip. Starting, every
morning at 7, he generally made but
one stop for rest during the day, sim
ply loosening the girdle of his saddle
while resting, but retired every night at
9. As he approached St. Petersburg
after his long ride a life guard regi
ment with two bands met him and es
corted him Into the city, where he was
received by the czar and knighted for
his achievement.
Record Horseback Rides.
There is a reliable account given of
an Englishman, Squire Osbnld-
stone, having ridden, In 1831, 200 miles
in ten hours. In doing this, however,
he rode 16 horses and changed every
four miles. A wonderful test of en
durance and pluck was the case of
Capt, Charles Townley, another Eng
lish cavalryman, who, in 1849, rode
with dispatches from Belgrade to Con
stantinople, 820 miles, He remained
In the saddle five days and 11 hours
without rest, except on one occasion
for six hours and the time consumed
In changing to fresh horses. Twice
the horse he rode dropped under him
from exhaustion. It was a historic
ride, for upon the event of his arriving
in Constantinople ahead of all other
couriers hung the decision of the war,
which by his accomplishing the feat
was averted. x
Land of Fire and Ice.
Geological map of Iceland by Dr.
Thoroddscn, who hns spent many yenrs
on the work, gives much information
about one of the w'orld’s most won
derful Islands which few visitors ev
er see.
An example of the strangeness of
Iceland Is furnished by the volcano
Ratio. This Is hurled under Immense
snow fields, but from time to time Its
fires hurst through the glittering
blanket, and then such floods are pour
ed from the melting ice that a great
stretch of country between the volcano
and the sea is Inundated and huge
masses of ice are carried out Into the
ocean.
It is unsafe to cross the territory
lying between Katla and the sea, so
suddenly come the floods.
