KittS0n County

Positively the banner county of the
Red River Valley. This is owing to
the fact that nature has been very kind
to this county by giving it better drain
age than other counties in the same val
ley: In some parts of the Red River
Valley the land is too fiat and poorly
drained, In Kittson county this is differ
ent: The streams run deep in their beds
and the prairie is slightly rolling. For
this reason not single crop failure has
been recorded in Kittson county.

d sin that fierce light which
beats upon a throne. "
Her sway extended only to her
grandmother, two aunts, their
old-fashioned friends, and the
girls of a small day-school. To
Theodore, whose horizon line
ended there, this was very
great world, indeed. Was she
not q Patten of New York ? Had
not her mother been a Baron of
Boston, Had not her father
been q Judge of the state and her
grandfather minister to Ger
many ? Was she not an heiress
to many thousands ?
Most potent of all, had not her
grandmother, aunts, friends and
schoolmates, through all her six
teen years, been steadily chant
ing the praises of the dignifed,
proper. clever and irreproach-
able Theodore Baron Patten of
New York?
De folkses is all gone off, said
the colered maid at her uncle S
house. Yo' see, honey, dey
didn't 'spect yo' till tomorrow.
This was hardly the triumphant
arrival she had planned for her
first visit to her Maine cousins.
Still, it gave her time to repair
the ravages of the journey.
All the Paftens are handsome,
she said. as she regarded her
renovated self in the mirror.
Theodore had a way of speaking
of "my good looks" startling to
some hearers. That's not con-
ceit, she would explain. didn't
make my own face. It's only a
logical statemento of fact. ''Log-
ical" was one of her shibboleths.
Theodore was good to look at,
with her clear, quiet eyes, her
bright color and composed cx-
preston.
De girlsis yander on de links,
said the maid.
A desire to surprise them
seized Theodore. She crossed
the links to the shady knoll,
where she could see some figures.
The sound of the sea deadened
her footballs. Four girls were
seated under the trees in atti-
tudes not classified in any system
of Delsarte. They wore short
skirts which were evidently
longer ones cut of, shirt waists
of last summers fashion, and
nondescript hats.
Country girls Ofcourse they
don't know much about style.
Is this Rose Baron !? she asked,
sweetly.

enough. How do yeu happen 10

asked one.

Carolyn's boys are as big as

Theodore drew herself up

it is in New York.

Theodore resented the tone
and the suggestion. She did not
like Nan.

Theodora had no prejudice
against running, and thumped
vigorously after Carolyn. AS
they settled into a walk, she heard

dinary. to these country girls.
thought Theodore Patten.
The next weeks we're crowded
with fun. Theodore had never
been with young people before.
Her summers had been long
months spent at a lonely little
hotel at the seashore, where she
did everything by herself. Her
cousins friends were uncommon.
ly interesting, jolly boys and
girls. Theodora's energy and
cleverness in all outdoor expedi-
tions made her popular. She
was thoroughly happy when they
-cheered at her high, clean dive
or her low golf score.
But at other times things went
very wrong indeed. AS the others
grew better acquainted with her,
they first smiled, then openly
jeered at her most cherished
theories. Her friends called her
arguments illogical" and her
views "one-sided. and often with
the appalling frankness of youth
ridiculous. /" Again and again
she was obliged to resort to the
final, "You are not used to So
ciety in New York, an argument
thus far unanswered.
Carolyn was her refuge after
such bouts. She was always
sweet.tempered and sympathetic
and although she sometimes
laughed, 20 funny Theodore r
she never argued in the sarcastic
way The others did. Carolynwas
extremely clever and welLread.
IL was a. pity, thought Theodore,
that she bad, to spend her life
with her grandmother in the
little Maine village, never travel
ling or meeting people. She was
retiring, too, Ever SO many
times she heard the others make
mistakes in facts she knew, or
talk incorrectly of some book she
had read, yetshe never corrected
them. She had not a proper

favor of you, began Carolyn.
Well?
It's been just fine in you to
take all that trouble over the

you'd make it great, but-last
| night Minnie Wicker's cousin,
Miss Dacey, cam e. She told for
tunes here once before, and, well,

of gift, like second sight; it's
fairly uncanny. The girls and
some of the others are wild to
have her do it tonight. She's
consented, if you're willing. You

Theodore thought of her labor

and longed to say no. Instead,
she answered sulkily, suppose

Carolyn pulled her braid for

Theodora's self control gave
way with snap. 1t was mean

ground. Her anger at Carolyn,
at herself, even, although She
could not have explained this
last,-struggled for expressions
bitter enough. She felt like a
