"Why, so it is." answered her mother,

ever present mending at her side, while

"W il," echoed Marit.n to herself.
Hut she said nothing, and soon wan
< ->rcd into (he yard, book iu hand, to
the hammock which swung idly out un
der (he frees.
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
<lon; but he had stayed away so long,
and Marion had been so liappy and
lively iu the company of various other
oft he village youths, that it was decided
by the wise ones of the town that there
wasn't anything in it.after all. Hut
when it was rumored on this beautiful
July day that Tom Patterson was in
town, there were not a few who, like
Marion's mother, thought questioning!}-
of her ami wondered.
Marion herself wondered, too. "Tom
1n town! I wouder how he looks. And
how will he IhluU I look? I wonder if
he -" The pause was suggestive of
sot ie deep question, hut Marion did not
finish, even to herself, the thought that
WA'i in her mind. She sat for some time
thinking. She thought of all the good
times she and Tom used to have to
gether. How she hated to have him go
away! And he said he was sorry, too.
!>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 -. But that's beyond j
our pale; we were tn stop at the second. !

A JAP'S ODD DESCRIPTION.
Tells How a Cat Escaped the Jaws oi .
a Ferocious Brindle
Bog.
"It happen one day when you t.oue oft !
for whole week. I work iu kitchen at
window. I see one white silk puss cat |
come creepy, creepy in the yard. I no j
see his collar, his neck so fluff, but 1
hear one little bell go tinkle, tinkle, !
tinkle. Pret soon a missy come round
the corner all creepy, creepy, too, with
ehopbone in her hand, and she call so j
soft; 'Comee, puss-cat, puss-cat, puss
cat.' But pugs-eat he no care for dead 1
chop when he can catchy grasshoppers, i
"Then quick before I think, whoop! j
scat! the dogs go gcooty 'cross the grass. !
and puss-cat he ail stick out and spit, j
and then he shin up tree like fury. And j
Bringle-Boy, he rush at missy all mad, ;
and grab her skirts and stockings, and j
pull-tug. and growl and bite like he eat. j
her all up."
"Thebeast!"exclaimedßarry. "What ,
did you do?"
The little Japanese mau drew himself
up with pride till he almost reached his j
master's shoulder, says Eleanor A. Hal- j
lowell, in Lippineolt's. "I grab big broom |
and rush out to save."
"What did she do?" Barry persisted, j
kicking angrily at the chair. "Did she !
scream bloody murder?"
The little man's pompous bravery
seemed to suddenly wither away. "What
she do? She just put back her head and
laugh all teeth and cry out: 'lsn't ha
just too sweet for anything?' and silly
like that, and as I lift up broom to club
that dog's head, she threw him lamb
chop quick, and he stop bitey her feet,
and she sit down on grass and cry, cry, i
all whltey. And l'rindJc-Boy. when he j
finish that chop he come lick her hand? 1
so nicely, and missy she kind of tuck up I
lur cry and run home. But white silk
| i'..-f-<rat he no come down out of that
tree for two days, and bull-dogs they g,»
rmnid so sad and cough up white fluff
tur all time."
"Did they eat her cat?" Barry fin
quired. as a matter of natural politeness.
He hated cats.
The Japanese man resumed bis fatu
ous smile. "They try hard," he aoknowl- i
edged. "They bitey deep and often, but [
they i'o n->t hurt white silk puss-cat. he |
live far inside."
Easily Discouraged.
"Do you consider marriage a luxury :
or a necessity?" asked the sociologist.
"Neither," answered the man who !
had Just secured his second divorce. i

ODD FACTS FOR FARM FOLK.
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.
