Marion Hadi'oj and Tom Patterson had been plajtnates ever since, as one old neighbor used to express it. Marion vas knee high to a grasshopper. Thej had played together, gone to school to ; i ther and through it. all had been I riends. Then Tom had gone away to college, and after a year or two at an eastern university, had gone to New York city Where he bad been t\r-r since employed In the office of a noted architect; icr f'om was an e\| ei i draughtsman and ;e sii-.b had sauced a line position. Al ways a bright youth, hi had settled down to his chosen business with a spirit of energy that showed plainly that he was -eriotts in the choice of a profession; ami with a persistence that had sur prised evrn his c losest friends, he had continued at the same work, in the same idfice niitil now four years had passed since be bad taken a vacation of any • ort and since he had 11 visited the scenes of bis boyhood trials and pleasures. During these years, Tom had paid little attention to the girls. In his early days the people of Martinsburg thought he was rather in love with Marion Had id ho mean il? She wondered again, tier earliest memory of him recurred to her mind, such a provoking recollection that was, and always so vivid a one. Yry as she would, she could never quite forget 11. She was a very Hlt'e girl then, and untisuelly bashful at that. A crowd ot little pehplo were piayiug in Tom's yard op.e hot afternoon in summer. The game was "King William." Most of those in the game wore older than Marion and evidently thought it 'would be fun ty play a little i.'ick on her. Tom was in Ihe center. Around him the others circled, siugitig as they went: 'King William w as King James* son. l ipon a royal race he run; t le wore a star upon his ves* Thai points the way to the governor's breast." Round and'round the little company circled, still singing, oil alive to the fun eif the occasion except Marion; she alone, shy and nniasy. "(!o to the cast, goto the west, f!o choose the one that you love best; If she's not here to take your part., Ho choose auoiher with all your heart.' As these wouis w ere sung. Tom, as if by a hint from one of the older girl', pointed to Marion, who slowly, shrink ingly, took her place in the center at Uis --de. Persistcntl) the song went or- to ■ Hs inevitable end: "Down on this carpet you must kneel As sure as the grass grows in the Held kiss j our nride, and kiss her sweet, now you may rise upon your feet." When the last words were sung by the gleeful tittle crowd. Marion was seized by Torn and kissed — kissed there before them all! This was more than she could stand, and with (ears of wounded pride lilting her eyes, making tier stumble as she went, she berried home. That was an insignificant incident and evidently quite forgotten by n't concerned, but iii the mind of Marion it remained and cftphlof). So Toni vwis (tome. Bid she care? She wondered it she did, and was just <;oing to admd fbai s | tt . believed she did —a little, —winu the ga.te opened and tip iiie long path, straight to where sho swung in the big hammock tinder the trees, walked the very one of whom she was thinking. Tom Patterson. And in that moment she admitted to herself that she cared —a great deal. She rose and smiling a welcome, came to meet him. "VVliy, Tom. how you've grown. You hardly look the same to me." But I am the tame to you, Marion, it' you would only believe it." Tom's glance 'aid more than hi 3 j words. Marion blushed and seated hot - j sell in the hammock, while Tom flung | himself with careless grace on the grass j at her feet. "Why should I believe it. Tom? j You've been saying- pleasant nothing;! ;to me ever since I was a little girl. ! Why should 1 believe you now any more ihan in those other days?" And Marion began to swing lightly to and fro, look ing at Tom with a half-mocking smile, but thinking at the same time what a line fellow he was and how glad she felt that he had come back, if it was but for a visit. Hut Tom was speaking, and when she recovered her thought she discovered I with a thrill, that he was answering her j mocking question with serious delibera j lion. "The reason, Marion, why you j should believe me now. is that this time j I mean it. No, that's hardly what 1 j mean. I've always meant it, but I never dared say anything very serious now that I have shown that I can earn enough to make a home. I have come to ask the only girl in the world if she will share it with me. "Why, Marion. I've loved you ever j since that day—of course you don't re member—a clay when you were a little girl and I a year or two older. We wen playing King William and I was 'it.' Ti • re was a far away look in his eyes, to .Marion had n chance to steal a glance ai him before he turned again toward her. "It was your first ■•ame, and someon" suggested you as a good one to choose. I I didn't need to be told that, however. I lor I had you all picked out; I had ! chosen you the minute I got in the i | game. Of course they didn't know, se j when 1 caught you and had that first I kiss"—he paused significantly—"they thought it a great joke. "I felt dreadfully sorry when you felt so bad. and cried; and 1 wouldn't play any more that day. But I said to my | i-eif then, and have said it many times ; inee, that some time I was going te. ! have another: though of course I wouldn't want il if it should affect you jas that first one did." He looked for some sign from her, but Marion did not j j stir. All this time she had sat with ; I face turned away, her eyes shining and j her cheeks rosy. Ai last Tom began to grow fearful of tie prolonged silence and broke it with: , "New I have dared. ! have come. Don't send me away, lor I have always wanted you." "Send you away? I wouldn't dare." i Marion turned toward him a face al! smiles, but eyes dimmed with tears. "I j wouldn't dare because, well —because j I've always loved you. too. Tom. at least ; since that day wo played 'King William' j and you gave me uiy first kiss." Vnd then Tom had his second, an. 4 j another, and an -.

Tokay nnd Syrian Grapes Grown in i Northern Idaho—All Grains Are j Over Weight When Properly Grown by Irrigation—White Flax Seed—Corn Wheat in Place of Corn. It is a big surprise to \Torld's Fail 1 visitors to find that tokay grapes ' giow in tho United States as fai north as Duluth, Minn. The particu j lar place where this may bo done is i Le wist on, Idaho, on tho banks of the Snake river. Whatever is done along ; tho Snake river in the matter of agri culture and horticulture must be done j v.ith irrigat'on, however, t The remarkable things done undei irrigation are portrayed by a numbei oi states. Colorado has a rsi'of mai of the Arkansas valley. Utah snows a diorama of one of her irrigated val | leys. California exhibits her products from lands worth a thousand dollars r.n acre. Oregon displays her beauti lul fruits and grains from irrigatet , districts, while Idaho, her next dooi neighbor, won twenty gold medals 01 . her agricultural showing. The tokay grapes from Lewistrm ar< : only one of C 2 varieties now success lully grown at that far -ortliern poim | where the climate is al-uost as mild as Italy, for tho tokay cannot ftourisl | vhere tho winters are cold. Along | \ itii tho tokay is a fine sweet grain from Syria, in which every grape ant i fruit grower will be interested. Th< ; name is Hunisa, or Antab lato, fron: ' Antab. It is large, very dark, and r fine keeper, the last being its mosi important quality. After traveling over 1,500 miles to the World's Fail it opened lip in as fine condition as tht tokay, and made a good show. Thes« ; grapes aro from the first vine of this variety fruited in America. Another fact not well known is thai grains grown by irrigation iu tht dry atmosphere of the western slope of the Rocky mountains are ruuci heavier than those grown in the cast and the yield is far greater. In th< Idaho exhibit of the Palaeo of Agri ; culture at the World's I'air are man} 1 examples of irrigation results. A sack of oats was received at the ex I bit a few days ago which was gradet by one of the machines iu the building and tested as to weight. It was fount that the third, or poorest grade weighed 38 pounds to the bushel, whilf the standard of weight for oats is oni> 152 pounds to the bushel. The is; 100 to 110 bushels to the acre, ant Idaho oats ordinarily weigh 12 to 4» pounds to the bushel. An acre of ir rigated land yields about three times as much as an acre in a humid cli mate. Wheat in southern Idaho is 6: tu *l4 pounds to tho bushel, the stand ;>r(i being 00 pounds, and the yield f>( to TO bushels to the acre. A bundle of alfalfa hay, second crop of litol biought from southern Idaho, is as tall as a man, a six-footer. Five tc seven tons to the acre are grown eael season, ii being cut usually three times All over southern Idaho, which foi the most part, is a vast desert, art cases that have been made fruitful b> iirigation. The liberal provisions o! the Cary Act of Congress have mad', possible the reclamation of tUeue lands, the state taking over the land* and disposing of them to settlers at Gt cents an acre. The water right is an extra cost, in some cases as low as $25 an acre for a perpetual right, tht first one or two crops often paying the entire cost of a fine property. Only a few days ago the state land board ol Idaho threw open to settlement 100,00 C (teres of land under one canal at Twin Falls, on the south side of Snake river. It is in Cassia, county, one ol the counties that touch the Nevada border. In this instance the total cost per acre is $25.50, and tint er the literal terms of the Cary Act entry may lie made through another person. Tht payment Is in easy installments. Many of the exhibits in the Idahc display are from along the Snake river which is so named because of its sinu ous course, and not because of any snakes.' The water for the Twin Falls tract, which embraces 270,000 acres, is from the Snake, and the cost of the £.OOO foot dam and the 100 miles ol main canals is about $2,500,000. A railroad is being constructed from Minidoka southward to cross the tract, which is expected to repeat the history of the Wood Kiver Country, the Boise and Payette Valleys, and become a populous part of the state. Idaho ha* the honor of showing in her agricultural display something that very few farmers have ever ssen, namely, white flax seed. This variety of flax originated in Idaho, and is said to possess great commercial pos sibilities. because it is richer in oil und produces a grade of very light colored oil that is far more desirable for white paint than the darker grade. 112 Idaho is trying to do what other mountain states are attempting, that is, to supply the homo market with fruits, vegetables, meats, grains and dairy products. The mountains con tain hundreds of mining camp:* and settlements where everything now pro duced finds ready market, while the I'emaud increases with each new u»in irg district opened. Corn s about the only thing that does not grow well in the irrigated deserts of southern Idaho, because the summer nights are cool, but n kind ol grain is raised called corn wheat that take s the place of corn, and produces over 100 bushels to the acre, it its worth any farmer's time to take a good look itt the odd things in the Ulaho display, where there- are 47 va i ieties of wheat, 41 varieties ot oats 32 varieties of barley, and I'.t varieties of grasses, to say nothing of vege tables, beans, peas, honey and oilier things worth having.
