"I appeal to the president. It Is my

glared at each other across' him.
"Taylor, you scoundrel, why didn't

mendaciously; then to, his visitors
"Mrs. reuse. Mrs. Sawyer, what-can 1

"I waut Justice," Mrs. Sivwycr began
"and I'm a-goln to have it!"
Mrs. l'ease broke In: "It's a perfect

door wide. "Now, ladies, come and
make up my mind for 1110, And plenso
be nulck about it. 1 have 11 hundred
other things to do."
Man disposes, .but woman proposes.
Must commonly 'It is to have her own
way. Allan McAoal hail a win onu a
mind of his own, but found himself
helpless In the faco of tho patchwork
feud. It wns nothing los-s. It hnd be
gun, In fact, inthat same Horticultural
hall ten years 'back. Miss tlvy are
and Mrs. .TolinlGroome were not mero-
lv Xan Waroti mints, ulsters rcsnoc-
tlvcly to her (father nnd mother, but
bitter rlvnV in notablo housewifery,
At tho very lhst Clay county fair they
swepUnll before them In their own par
ticular lines, but Mrs. Groomo got 11
blue ribbon tho more. It wns for cut
IkiMvrs, unit- MlssKlvy's roses did not
win even the red. Naturally the fact
rankled. It rankle! so deeply, Indeed
she was not pnclt'iod by the offer of a
special lose premium next year. She
won It. of course, but the winning waa
robbedfiif savor. Mrs. Groomo did not
make n separate-rose display.
Ho It had gone at every fair. Now
ono'Vas ahead in the matter of proud
mil!?, now the otlx-r. At this particular
fair both had outxlono themselves, with
the ivsult of ivinnlug n dozen blue, rib
bons each. TlKjro would have been
more, but that old Sister Dempsey, the
commhtcc on jolly and crystalllzei
frultsvplacldly ate up tho Groonie nnd
Ware- entries, saying she "did believe
In glvf.n somebody else the least little
smiitpjin of a chance." So that ?5 had
gone do an cirtiroly now person, n slim,
darlc eyed gtrl, shy and strnnge, who
came afoot, "with only a Irtd for com
pany. Her people had bought less
than a year back a pomewhat ramshac
kle farm lying a mile away. Nobody
knew much about them, except that
they minded their own affairs, paid
cash for tho little they bought and
from the looks of things about the
place were not In tlio least afraid of
work.
Sister-Bempsey had felt fully repaid
for herthrcatcned' indigestion by sight
of theglrl's eyes when sho got the blue
ribbon. Tltcy had brightened and sof
teneduntil they wore like misty stars.
Then, she 'had said some-thliiff to the
hov.nt her-olbow tliat made lilm stand
on tiptop and stick his hands deep irf
hit; noctiUS, as though he had hard
work to keep from turning hand
springs mid shouting aloud.
"It wna Loe's idea, you know, our
bringing the things. I should never
have had tho courage or tlio hope,"
shediart explained, with a blush, to Sis
ter Dempsey. Ico, standing very
straight and looking nsithougli ho own
ed at least half the" fudr grounds, hod
added: "Why, Kllio, I kneW we'd get
