congenialities are apt in the course of a years time to touch upon almost every topic of discussion one can imagine today we spoke of gallantry and old les wilton discounted the tale of walter raleigh and queen eliza beth which has survived history as the shining example i once knew a man les began who won laurels for gallantry with out show or fuss or desire for pub lic acclaim for hisjact he lived right here in harrison this man did or leastwise he settled down here permanently after marrying delia kilday the story i have to tell concerns delia i guess more than roger ide hence idbetter give it to you from her point of view she was a pretty girl delia was had a sweet sort of way about her manner of talking its more than likely that had it not been for delias afflic tion shed have married douglas currier the son of our towns lead ing citizen and richest man in those days for the young fellers all made a play for her hand and douglas was about the best catch of the lot but delia had an affliction if you could call it that she was left- handed dont seem lilse much does it well oddly enough it happened that the girl was the only person in town who could laytfaim to such an outstanding peculiarity you get her in a big crowd and the thing was plumb nottotau combine this with the courtship began with the first night delia accepted rogers invita tion to attend the semiannual la dles aid supper the fact that delia was naturally a sensitive little chit and you had something that proved mighty trou blesome delia had reached her twenty second year which was about the limit of matrimonial eligibility in those days when she met roger ide roger came from down country somewhere a bright young man with a sense of humor and a likeable personality but probably no one of the dozens of friends he acquired midst appreciated his qualities more than delia kilday there was a reason for it and a good one a reason that served to immediately establish a bond of friendship and understanding be tween the two that has never since been shattered roger ide was left handed roger was not only left handed but delia knew by the faintly em barrassed and awkward manner in which he held things that he was as sensitive about the attention his affliction might attract as she was about her own instantly he excit ed her pity and sympathy and un derstanding she looked at him and smiled and realized at once that at list she had found a friend who would never grate on her nerves tliat and the fact that roger was is deserving of n good wife is er a unj min could be result d i in

wildered and shook hithead well he remarked i suppose you might call it gallant but there s nothing outstanding about it nothing that compares with walter raleigh why your roger was probably as grate ful to deha as she was to mm they were both pretty lucky nope said les soberly nope you re wrong deke roger ide was truly a gallant young man and un selfish and modest and he knew his manners too had breeding and a good bringing up for you see ihout a week after roger and delia wire married she came into the kitchen one dav and found her hus hind eating his dinner and reading the newspaper at one and the same time he musta been oretty much interested in the neusj jpr artich and sort omorgpt himself for a min me because he was wielding a fork with his right hand and the waj he wielded it there
