'M real sorry, Miss Phelps, that you must leave this week." "I am sorry, too. But I have bad beautiful long sum nier, and It la near ly over now. An. other week would ouly make me re gret going more." Maybe that's so, bot next week 11 be our county fair, and I'd like you to see It. Have you ever been to one?" I admitted that my education In that respect bad been neglected. For It was I who had spent the summer among tbe Jersey bills, and tbe fund of good stories with which my hostess was sup plied had often entertained me. Hop ing: for one now I asked, "What are they like, Mrs. ConoverT Well, I suppose "agricultural exhibl ttons' 1 the real name for 'em, but we don't often say It They generally last three or four days. And tbe farmers take their best bred stock, snd tbelr blzeest fruits and vegetables. Then their wives tend bread, and preserves. and Jellies; and la the fancy tent they have patchwork quilts, and embroider ies and oil paintings. And the best of every class gets a premium." "Money T" I queried. "Yes, five dollars or so, but tbe honor Is really more than the money." "Will you send anything?" was my next question. "No, I never did but once, snd tucb a time as I had tbenl Shall I tell you bout Itr "Yes, please, I wish yorj would." "Well, It was three years ago, tbe first year Jlmtule come to us. lou know we never bad any children and Ezry was bound to adopt a boy. 8o be got Jlmtule out of the orphan asylum down to Elizabeth." "Hid yon send him to the fair?" asked. Mrs. Conover sometimes needed to be brought back to the main track in her story-telling. - Now a shadow cross ed her placid face us she answered. "Yes, Jliiinile went that year and ev ery year since. But I'll go on wltb my story. I was lookin' over the premium list when Ezry brought It borne and I asked him If be wouldn't enter that Al derney heifer. She's tbe cow we call 'Daisy' now, and she was so pretty and tame. But he said no, the wasn t regis tered, and her keep would cost more than the premium. And I felt real sor- ry, for I did want one of them first premium card. We was the only one Of the neighbors that hadn't one. "Then I saw they'd added a new de partment and would give five dollars for tbe best cake, and I made up my mind I'd have that And when I told Ezry he said, Co ahead, mother. If nybody In this county can make better cake than yours I ve never et It' " - "I think Mr. Conover was right," I Interrupted. A pleased look passed over the face of the story teller aa the continued, "A Ut ile while before him and me bad been over to Mnhaly Stiles' to stay all night. And on the supper table they bad some thin' that looked for all the world like water melon, but when you came to eat it was cake. Ho I told Ezry I was going to send for Mnhaly' receipt, and make that He snld It was too late, for (hat was Wednesday, and the fair open ed the next Tuesday. Hut I told hi in If It went out tbe next morning I could get an answer Friday or Saturday at the latest, and I'd bake my cake Mon day after I did the washing. So I wrote the letter and sent Jlro- mle off to mall It, and Friday night looked for the answer. But Jlumile came home empty handed. Saturday afternoon I drove old Billy Into the vil lage for the things. I got almonds, and red sugar, and green sugar. On the way home I stopped to the pottofflce. Susan Hnell, the same as has it now,, bad It then, - "And the said there was nothlog she could give me. I was awful disap pointed, but I thought the letter would come Monday morula'. So I got up at o'clock so as to get toy wosbln' out But Jliiinile didn't bring It up from that niiill either. "It was strange," I commented, as Mrs. Conover paused to take another pair of socks from the pile she was darning. Are you getting tired? Well, I'll be through soon." ' "Not at all. Please go on." "That night after supper, Jlmmle Cime In with a dirty postal card in bis band screamln' 'auntie, I've got It I've got it' "We had him say 'auntie' and 'uncle because, as I told Ezry, If God had ever meant us to be called father and mother be'd have given us tome children of our own. I asked Jlmmle what be'd got and be said tbe letter. He said he thought felt so bad that be run over to the postofllce himself after supper and Su san Snell gave btin this. I bad my sus picions right away, and I said to htm, How dltf It get so flirty T 'I don't know; It was that way when Miss Suell gave it o nie. " 'Dou't Ml me a lie, Jlmmle,' said 1 and he says, 'Why, no, amid", 1 never do.' Ro I dldu't ay no more, but sent mm to oea. "Anyway, I had my receipt and early next mornln I had the cake In baking.

"Oh; I did tell the truth, and can't I go to the fulr? All the boys are golu and I've saved my money ever so long for a rldo on the raxxle-daxxte, and the merry-go-round. Willie Hudxun snd I was goln togeth er." 'You deceived me about that ks- tal,' said I. 'If you'd owned up you forgot It I'd forgiven you. though that was had enough. But lying 1 wou't tolerate In anybody. There's some boiled ham and biscuit In the pantry you can get for your dinner. Aud I want you to learn the fifth chapter of Acts by heart' Then we rode away. but I couldn't seem to forget his face, "You wcrs strict with him," I vea tured. "Yes, but Miss rtielps, I never could bear deceit Welt, when we got to the fair. It was half past ten, and the entry books bad closed at ten. And tbe man said hla orders was so strict be couldn't admit my cako. So my day was spoiled you can guess. But I told Ezry we might sa well see what was there. Tbe pumpkins was bigger than ever; there was aullta wltb nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine piece lu 'em; the band played Its loudest; and tho girls and their beaux were goln' rouud together as happy at could be. Dldu't yon look at the cakes 7" Yes. we looked at the dikes," an swered Mrs. Conover dryly. "And who do you S'pose got the first premium?" "I haven't the slightest Idea." "Why, Susan Snell! and for water melon cake! She was standing there, but she dldu't see me, aud when some body congratulated her she snld, 'yes, lt' somethlu' new.

Of course Ezry bad to laugh at mo. though be told uie the postmasters bad a right to look at pos tal cards to see there wasn't anything objectionable on them, sech as duns fer money, etc, but I guesa he dido t ex cuse Susiiu Snell any more than I did. We made old Billy go bis best, and when we got here found that dear child asleep, with bis bead laid on the Bible, open to the fifth chapter of Acts, and bit: tear drops dried on his face, I woko him up la a hurry and told blui ho should go to tbe fair next day, aud that I was sorry I'd misjudged blm. And be Jest put lotb urms around my neck, and snld, 'Ob, auntie, I'm so glad I can go, but I'm gladder yet that yon know I told the truth, for I promised mamma most the last thing that I'd always be true, and I always mean to be. "Well, tbnt taught me two things If I dldu't get the first premium," said Mi's. Conover, as she rose to leave me. "Ono is that there Is more than one kind of stealln', and the other that we are Jest s bound to respect the rights and feel- ln's of children as if they was grown folks." Ohio Former.
