Braun, present Grand Knight and to all Decatur Knights of Columbus, a sincere thanks for the greet service the lodge has rendered to make Decatur a better community and a hope that the lodge will continue to serve for many many years in the future as it has in the past - —0 g The attention of motorists is called to a change in traffic control signals at the Fairway corner on U. 8. roads, 224, 2? and 22, where the detour starts. All trafic approaching the corner must stop with the exception of the northbound traffic which because of the detour must turn west at this point. This is the through traffic. Red flashers warn, but since the signals have been changed, the corner has become a little dangerous. 0 0 u Backed solidly by his host of friends, the Decatur Lions club proudly presents Ronald Parrish, past president of Decatur Lions club, past president of Decatur Chamber of Commerce and local trucking company executive, for reelection as state comptroller of Indiana Lions clubs. Parrish has done a great job during the past year as comptroller and his reelection is being urged by all northeastern Indiana Lions clubs. All residents of Decatur should be proud of the local service club. Another of its members Roy Price is a past district Governor of Lions and at present is a member of the International advisory committee. Several other Decatur Lions have held district honors and the local club has for several years ranked high in activities and attendance. Few service clubs in Indiana can boast two members with such high rank in state, national and International club affairs as Price and Parrish and their work has br< us ».t honor and distinction to th '■ tl club and to Decatur. We joh* a ith his many friends In wish >l4 ?arrish success this coming w< a-end.

CHAPTER ONE THIS day in late May promised to be dull for Wickford Middleton, Killbuck’s only lawyer. There were ho appointments on bls memo pad, nothing coming up tn the courts tn Malone that concerned him. He opened a drawer in his desk that was filled with old books. Not Opoka on law but a collection of Ikth’century writers—Thackeray, Austen, Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Trollope ... He kept them out of sight He chose Trollope’s “Ralph, the Heir," settled comfortably baek in nis swivel chair. ■ His door opened and an old man came in. “ 'Morning, Wick." Wick closed bis book. “Well, well, Josh! Glad to see you! Sit down." Though less than half the old mga's age, be knew Jehosophat Trevett well, as did everyone tn Killbuck, He assumed this was merely a friendly call. “What’s the news, Josh?” Ths old man sat down. "Want you to write a will for me, Wick. I've got it all in my mind but 1 don’t know the hifalutln words to put tt down tn." "Planning to die, young fellow like you?" Wick said, genially. "Got to go gome time Eightyeight years old tomorrow. May twenty-first.” Though spare, hardmuscled, a healthy red under the skin of his taco, he did not look that age or one to dwell on dying. “Ought to get things way 1 want •m to ba I'v* been pondering it this winter." Wick nodded his head. That's sensible, Josh." He took a sheet ot paper trom ■ drawer, picked up a pen. "Tell me the way you want it and I’U write it out.” tt would not take more than 10 minutes or so, h« thought, tor he doubted that Jehosophat had more than his farm to will. "Your place-there— near to 400 acres, isn't it ? Which of your kin do you think of leaving that to?” Jehosophat said: “My notion is to parcel it among 'em. I’ve two nieces, Hester and Jennie, and a nephew Tom. Haven’t laid eyes on one of them since they were young 'uns and come here two summertimes. AU I know about 'em is what Hester writes me, once in a blue moon. Hester's married, lives tn Buffalo, tn New York state. Jennie’s never wed. Lives in a girls' school in Cleveland, Ohio." “They are your nearest of kin?” “Nearest and all." Wick Middle ton suddenly recalled a long-ago summer day when he had gone up to the Trevett place to fish and had run into three children there. One a skinny little girl with long dark braids and frightened eyea Curiously, he could remember her more clearly than the other two, that he had felt sorry for her, with the bigger girl picking on her all the time ... He said, “Josh, why not leave it Copyright, 1368.

that your property be sold and the money divided among those three?" The old man said, "I want them to come hack here and live on the I place!” “But how do you know they could come—leave their homes and occupations? Or would want to come tt they could—country life might hot appeal to them. And , housed all together , . ." ' — “They needn’t be housed together—guess you’ve forgot what the old house is ilka There’s the big wing to the north—got a kitchen and pantry, a bedroom off the sitting-room, stoop outside. My grandmother had it fixed that way •os she could live independent of my mother. My idea ta to parcel that off to Heater. Jennie can get the main part of the house; and the back part, where I’ve been livmg, can be Tom s share. The land divided all fair among them, and what savings 1 have, elose to $6,000, too. Now ain’t that pretty well figgered out?" "1 dont know, Josh. Maybe you’d better do a little more thinking. It will make an odd situation .. ." Jehosophat nodded his bead. “More'n likely there's a strain of quarrelsomeness tn the Trevett blood. Thia Hester—times they come here, young uns, she was bossy. Grabby, too. Mebbe she hasn’t changed." “Doesn't that show you that your pl a n may not work out well?" “Mebbe tt won’t. Way 1 want you to writ* U that if any of cm die before me, ths ones who belong to them, got to come here, first summer, live on .the piece tor three months. If one of them refuses, her share goes to the other two. Or if two of 'em retuse, the one that don't gets their parcel . . . Seems as though out ot the three there’d be one who’d like the old place But if none of 'em come, 1 want tt all to go to Gary Norbeck, the young fellow up there with me." Wick knew this young Norbcck, but only by sight; he doubted anyone tn Killbuck knew him any better than that. Though he earn* into the town frequently to buy provisions, he never said more to anyone than “Good morning," or “Good afternoon." ft was generally supposed he was up at the Trevett place to help old Josh with the work. But Josh bad given up farming the land and tt was plain to everyone that the young fellow was not the usual type of farmhand, so there had been considerable curiosity over him. "Just what Is this young man to you, Josh?" Jehosophat said warmly: “Same as a son, guess you might say. He com* to the door one night, October tt was, three years ago.

was taking a walking trip and got caught in a heavy rainstorm back in the hilla He was a mighty sick boy—l heated blankets and made him go to bed and he didn’t get out of that bed tor two weeks. Pneumonia likely tt was. I kept onion poultices on him. H* was pretty weak when he did move round and I’d grown used to having him with me—so 1 asked him to stay.* Wick said, "But Josh, your heirs can contest the will on that clause alone." Jehosophat said, "If my kin are too citified to want it, why can't I say who'll have it?” Before Wick could answer that, he went on, tn a milder tone: “Forgot to mention that 1 want the south woods acre to go to Gary, outright Has the creek runnin’ through ’it—don’t doubt he’ll let you fish tn it, same as you've done since you were knee-high.” "And where tn this plan of yours would ne live?” “He’s built himself a shack up in the wood*. Nice snug place, too. Goes up there to paint pictures and ng nt pretty ones they are.” Wick asked, “Docs Norbeck know ot this plan of yours?” — Jehosophat laughed. "He hasn’t an inkling of it. If you’re thinking he’s influencing me to it, put it out of your head, Wick. Gary’ll be as surprised as anyone. But he loves that land.” •“That’s it," thought Wick. "The old man wants someone living there who loves his land." And this was within his comprehension—hadn’t be himself chosen to practice nere in Killbuck where he had' lived his 41 years, and his folks as tar back as the first settling of the valley? This understanding stalled the advice he intended to give Jehosophat. He drew the blank sheet toward him, wrote a date at its top. Jehosophat said, “Guess you’ve got my idea, Wick—you write it out. He took a roll of heavy paper from his pocket. “Here's a sort of map 1 made of the land—and I’ve marked the three shares—and that acre tor Gary.” He put it on the desk, found another paper in another pocket. "Here’s their addresses, Hester's and Jennie's and the one Hester sent me that was Tom’s, then, and likely*d reach him. I’ve some errands to do, ’long as I’m in town, and I'll come up in, say, an hour. I’ll bring some witnesses to see me sign it, all proper like." "You haven’t named an executor, Josh.” “That’s so." The old man scratched his head. “Why not you, Wick? You could handle it best” “Okay." Wick’s voice barely concealed a groan. Jehosophat went out and Wick picked up bis pen again.
