Have JTOO ever been to one':" I admitted that my education In that respn t hud been neglected. For It was 1 who had spent the summer among the Jersey hills, mid the fund of good stories with which my hostess was sup plied hud often entertained me. Hop ing for one now 1 asked, "What ure they like. Mrs. Cnnovcr?" "Well, 1 suppose 'agricultural exhibi tions' Is the real MOM for 'em, but we dou't oftSJO say It. They generally last three or four days. And the farmers take their U'st bred stock, nnd their biggest fruits aud vegetables. Theu their wives send bread, and preserves, and Jellies; and In the fancy tent they have patchwork quilts, and embroider ies and oil paintings. Aud the best of every class gets a premium." "Money V" 1 queried, "Yes, five dollars or so, but the honor Is really more than the money." "Will you send nuythlngV" wits my next question. "No, I never did bat once, and such a time as I had theu! Shall I tell you about 117" "Yes, please, 1 wish vou would." "Well, It was three years ago, the Orst year Jliuuile come to us. You know we never hud any children und K.ry was bound t adopt n boy. 80 he got Jlnimle out of the orphan asylum down to Elizabeth." "Did you send him to the fnlr?" I asked. Mrs. Conovor sometlmoi Deeded to be brought back to the main track In her story telling. Now a shadow cross ed her placid face as she answered. "Yes, Jlmiule went that year and ev ery year since. Rut I'll go on with my story. I was lookln' over the prcmluii list when Kr.ry brought It home and I asked him If he wouldn't enter that AI dernej heifer. She's the cow we call 'lnlsy' now, and she was so pretty Mini tame. Hut he suld no, she wasn't regis tered, and her keep would cost more than the premium. And I felt real sor ry, for I did wont one of them first premium curds. We was the only one of the neighbors that hadn't one. "Then I saw they'd added new de partment and would give the dollars (or the best cake, nnd 1 made up my mind I'd have that. And when I tohl Kzry he said, 'Co ahead, mother. If anybody in this county can make better cuke t lift n 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 us she cuntlnin-d, "A lit tle while before Mm and m had been over to Mil Italy Stiles' to slay all night. And on the supper table (bey had some, thin' that looked for all the world like a water melon, but when you came to eat It wns cuke. So I told K.ry I wits going to seud for Uabaly'l receipt, and make that. He said It was phi late, for that whs Wednesday, and the fair open ed th' next Tuesday. Hut I told hltn If It went out the next morning I could get an answer Friday or Saturday at the latest, and I'd bake my cuke Mon day ufter I did the washing. So I wrote the letter and sent Jim. mle off to mull It. M0 i-rhlay nlgbt looked for the answer. Rut Jlmmla . - 1 . t-t . fame home einpi iiuinnn. Miaraay afternoon I drove old Hilly Into the vil lage for the things. I got almonds, and red sugar, ninl green sugar. On the way home I stopped In the iKistollli e. Susan Hindi, the same as bus It how, had It then. And she said there was nothing she could give me. I whs awful disap pointed, but I thought the letter would come Mommy moriuu . 00 1 got up at o'clock so as to get spy wsshln' out. Rut Jlmml didn't bring It up from that mall 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. Phase go on." "That night after supper, Jlmmle eame In with a dirty postal card lu his band BCTtamln' 'auntie, I've got It. I've got It.' "We bad hltn ssy 'auntie' and 'uncle' because, as I told Kzry, if Cod had ever meant us to l- called father and mother be'd have glveu ua some children of our own. "I asked Jlmmle what he'd got and be aaid the letter. He said he thought I felt so had that he run over to the poatofflce himself after supper and Hu nan Suell gave him this. I bad my sus picions right away, and I said to him, 'How did It get so dirty V 'I don't know; It was that way when Miss Muell gave It to me.' "1'ou'l te me a He, Jlmmle,' said I, and he saya "Why. no, auntie, 1 uever do.' So I didn't say uo more, but sent lit m to bad, "Anyway, 1 had my receipt and early next inornln' I hud the cake lu linking. It was a go.nl deal of trouble to make. You put white batter tlrst, then pink, and almonds n tmt. that hadn't been blanched, to Imitate the seeds. When It was baked I Iced It with greetl Icing for the rlnd. A little before nine I told Kary to bitcb up. and Itmmln, who was hanging around, says, 'Ann tie, shan't I go put on my Sunday clothes':' 'No, I can't have any little lsys with tne, who don't tell the truth.' said I. 'Oh. 1 did tell the truth, and can't 1 go to the fair? All the Isiys are golu' and I've saved my money ever so long for a ride on the razzle dazzle, and the merry go round. Willie Hudson and 1 was golu' togeth er.' 'You deceived ma about that pos tal.' said I. 'If you'd owned up you forgot It, I'd forgiven you, though that was bad enough. Hut lying 1 won't tolerate In itnylsidy. There's some Isilled ham and biscuit In the pantry, you can get for your dinner, And I want you to learn the tlfth chapter of Acts by heart." Then we todi away, but I couldn't seem to forget bis face." "You were strict with bliu," 1 ven tured. "Yes, but Miss l'helps. I never could Is'itr deceit. Well, when we got to the fair, It was half past ten, and the entry Issiks had closed at ten. And the man said his orders was so strict he couldn't admit my cake. So my day w as spoiled you can guess. Rut I told Kzry we might as well see what was there. The pumpkins was bigger than ever; there was ullls with nine thousand nine hundred und ninety nine pieces In 'em; the band played Its loudest; and the girls and their bMOI were golu' round together ns happy as could tie." "IMdn't you look at the cakes?" "Yes, we looked at the cukes," nil Wared Mrs. Conover dryly. "And w ho do you I'poM got the tlrst premium'" "I haven't the slightest Idea." "Why. Susan Shell! ami for water melon cake! She was standing there, but she didn't see me, and when some body congratulated her she said, 'yes, it's lometbln new, The receipt coma from Mrs. Stiles over at Stllesvllle!'

Of course Kzry hud to laugh at tne, though be told inc the postmasters hud a right to look at pos till curds to see there wasn't anything objectionable oil them, sech as duns fer money, etc., but I guess he didn't ex cuse Susan Shell any more than I did. We made old Hilly go bis best, and w lieu we got here found that dear child asleep, with his bead laid oil the Bible, open to the tlfth chapter of Acts, and big tear drops dried on his face. 1 woko li 1 1 11 up In a hurry and told him he should go to the fair next day. 11ml that I was sorry I'd misjudged Mm.
