Crockery Girl By Lewis Alien Browne Susan Morrison has drudged for four years in the office of a New York crockery company. Chester Hadley, young travelling salesman for the concern, wants to marry her, but makes barely enough to support himself. himself. Then, Susan unexpectedly in. herits the entire estate of a great- uncle, Cyrus Morrison. She goes to little South Bendick, but finds that her inheritance consists only of a worthless swamp, acquired by her uncle In exchange for his valuable farm just before his death. She is told he was tricked by old Eben Bos- dick, the town miser. Chet turns up and devises a scheme for getting the farm back. His first step is to let Bos dick's snooping nephew Bert overhear him remark that the swamp may contain contain valuable crockery clay. ' "You ought to hear, Mrs, Ajmee, clay in my swamp. He thinks it clay in my swamp. He hints it might be worth something." "The clay, dearie? Land sakes, if that swamp was ever worth three cents, Eben Bosdick would have found it out twenty years ago!" Bert edged over to the desk. Susan pretended not to see him. "Well," she said, "Mr, Hadley knows all about crockery and the clay it is made of, and lie says my swamp land may not be so worthless after all." Bert was listening hard. "Why, dearie, you don't mean it!" exclaimed Mrs, Ames. Susan laughed. "Well, I'm not going going to spend my fortune until 1 get it!" Chet came in then and came up to the desk. Bert moved only a foot or so : away, pretending to be absorbed in looldng out at. the street. "I was tellinv.-Mrs. Ames about clay, Mr. Hadley," said Susan. Chet scowled. "Now, now--please, Miss Morrison," he said in a stage whisper. "I wouldn't talk about it-- yet. I'd kee i quiet about it until we get. our reports on the samples." "Oh--really? Why should there be any need for secrecy?" "Because, Miss lorrison, someone might try to do you out of it." "But it's only guesswork," said Susan. Susan. "You aren't sure. The swamp to just as likely to be worthless." "Don't. y»u Believe it, Miss Morrison," Morrison," Chet, said, with emphasis, at the saine time lowering his voice, "tinier? I mise my guess that swamp is worth a. whopping lot!" Bert hurried out of the hotel and fairly ran home, Ho reported to Eben Bosdick that the swamp 1 was all crockery clay, worth no telling how much! CHAPTER VIII "What's that ? Say it again--don't mumble!" Eben Bosdick ordered his nephew. "I said that there swamp you made old man Morrison swap--" "Shut up! 1 never made him do anything. anything. I swapped because he begged me to, as a favor!" Bert grinned. "Sure--1 'know. That's what I mean, Uncle Eben. Well they didn't know I was listening. First, I heard that.

"That Hadley, the expert. Ho heard her trillin'- Mrs. Ames and he shut her right up. He told her to tell nobody her swamp was worth anything, because because somebody might cheat her out of it, so she shut up then, and I came right back to you." "Good--good enough, Bert."

"Bert," he said, after a while, "you take the car tomorrer, and you sort of trail that feller--the crockery expert, expert, what's hia name?" "Hadley, Sure--leave it to me." The next morning, bright and early, Chet, drove out to the creamery and bought a dozen of their wooden boxes made to hold two pounds of butter. He stacked these on the seat beside him and drove to Bosdick's hardware store. Eben had his office in the back part of the store. Chet bought a garden garden trowel and a quantity of stout waxed paper, and departed. Bert came in just as! his uncle came out of his office to ask the clerk what "that man" had -bought. Ho took Bert into Ids office. "Roller him--slow like. Don't let him suspect. He bought a trowel and waxed paper here." Ebe.n's excitement excitement was growing. "Arid I seen a stack of them wooden butter boxes in his ear," said Bert, "What's he doin' with so much butter--" butter--" "Butter boxes, ell? Poller him! Pol 1er him! Watch him and come right back." Chet, drove to the swamp and stopped. stopped. To his delight, he saw Bert Bos- dick coming along. He pretended not to notice him. 1-Ie had borrowed rubber rubber boots from the hotel garage man. He put these on deliberately. Beit drove past slowly and around a, curve in the road. Chet grinned. Then he waded out into the swamp and filled a couple of the little boxes with the yellow muck, first lining the boxes with waxed paper. Bert appeared again, driving back. He slowed up and stopped. Chet scowled at him, hesitated, and then said, "Catching some frogs for pickerel bait--I'm not on . your land, am I?" "No--that's all right mister." Bert drove on a short distance, then parked, got out, and pretended to be working on the car's motor. He saw Chet drive to another spot on the other side of the road and take more samples of tile yellow clay. Then, Bert drove back to town and reported to his uncle. "You saw him? He was puttin' that yelier muck in them boxes? You sure, Bert?" Bert was sure. "He just filled them boxes up with the mud," he said. "I'll bet you, Uncle Eben, that old swamp is a gold mine--" "By gosh!" Eben murmured, his eyes shining. He cautioned his nephew* nephew* : "Not a Word, mind you, to a soul!" Chet came back to the hotel, after stopping at a stationery shop to get glued labels. At the long writing desk in the lobby, he began writing addresses addresses on the labels.
