GOUGH. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapmaa.) There were two lonely, longing hearts in Reedville and both beat es- pecially in unison. The possessors of the hearts were practically prisoners, besting desperateiy but in vain at the cruel bars of fate put up by relentless parents. Earls Rodney loved Marah Ellis and she fairly idolized hirs. He was twen- ty and she seventeen. Their families were wealthy, but the heads of the families were at enmity in both busi- ness and social relations. Mr. Ellis had nipped budding affections in their incipiency when he discovered that Marah had engaged herself to Earle. The father of the latter sat down upon the glowing hopes of his impres- sible son ponderously. Marah was kept practically a prison- er in charge of a vigilant duenna, pend- ing shipment to some isolated relative at a distance. Meantime poor FEarle wandered about the extensive home -grounds, read, smoked and grieved. He ex- pected every hour to hear that his lady- love had been sent away, or to receive & mandate to begin his own irksome exile. Lolling in a hammock one af- ternoon his interest was awakened as & kite came whirling down with a dive, landing in a thorn bush, and lay there pierced and tangled. “Hey, mister!” hailed an anxious faced lad a few moments later, mount- ing the garden wall, “that's my kite.” “Well, come and get it,” directed Earle, and then, interested in any cin cumstances that alleviated the tedium of the hours, he assisted the boy in getting the kite extricated from the greenery. He was tying up two pleces of broken tail when a sudden idea shot through his mind in a vivid glow ot brilliancy. “See here,” he said abruptly, “do you want to make a dollar?” “Me? Oh, my!” ejaculated his juve- nile visitor in a sort of ecstasy, “You know where the Ellis people live?” “Oh, sure I do.” “Could you break your kite loose, or arrange it any way so you could get an excuse to go,into their garden, just as you have here?”’ “Sure I could,” asserted the lad con- fidently. “Then, see here,” and Earle whis pered in the boy’'s ear the substance of a deep, dark plot. Then he wrote a note and handed it with a dollar bill to the boy. “Now, remember,” he warned, “give the note to nobody but Miss Ellis. You land the kite while she's sbou'. the garden.” “Oh, I understand!’ grinned the in- telligent lad. Now the plot was carried out. The expert kite flyer manipulated his air sailer just as he deftly calculated. The kite fell within the walled-in garden of the Ellis grounds. That note told Marah to steal from the house at dusk, to reach a certain remote corner of the garden. A light rope ladder would be thrown over tho wall. She would fall into her lover's arme on the other side. There would be a harried scurry to a sheltering grove of trees a bit far- e = THE COUNTY FAIR By Peter Radford. Lecturer National Farmers' Union. The farmer gets more out of the fair than anyone else. The fair to a city man is an entertain- ment; to a farmer it is education. Let us take a stroll through the fair grounds and linger a mo- ment at a few of the points of greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the world’s greatest thinkers. You are now attending a con- gress of the mental giants in me- chanical science of all ages. They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an elo- quent story of the world’s prog- ress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an en- during service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes a master mind to tower into the realm of science and light a torch of progress that will illuminate the pathway of civilieation for future generations. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time. Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve maenkind on and oo forever, without money and without price. They have shown us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught ve Jeseons in economy and efficiency, how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have lengthened our lives, multi- plied our opportunities and taken toil off the back of humanity. They are the moet practical men the world ever produced. Their inventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency. Like all useful men, they do not seeck publicity, yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many plows turn the sofl in mute applause of their marvelous achievements.

There, upon the rear seat, blandly smiling, were Dukes and Mrs. Faire. “Discovered—baflled!” cried Earle. “Mistake!” chuckled Dukes, benev- olently. “You heartless meddler!” flared out Marah to her duenna. “Dear child!” smiled Mrs. Falre, blandly. “So near hwplneu"‘ Earle. “Nearer than chuckled Dukes. “I won't go back to that—that pris- on!” sobbed Marah. “Never!” assured her duenna. “Mr. Dukes, tell them.” “Why, yes,” said Dukes, “we're not going to take you back. Wo're going with you.” “Going—" “With you.” “Where?" “To the elopement.

Now, however, the stress of busi- nees forced him either to take a quick trip or lose a great contract. Bellew cureed his race and made hurried preparation for the voyage. There was nothing worse n his es- timation than to be literally thrown into an appallingly close proximity to a thousand strange people and to hlnmut.m:ndspendmw hour of the day with those same peo- ple. However, all his fears were in a way minimized when the great lh|Dl sailed smoothly out and past s-ndyl Hook.
