of home markets for the products of

haul on to market aud a lack of unity
or cooperation among its people for

the cause of all that was q county seat

border of the county, to have it moved.
The fight had nothing back OF it ex-
cept Warsaw town jealousy and War
saw money, and while not strong
enough to move the county seat, was
strong enough by industrious circula-
ton of lies to prevent the building OF a
court house. The favorite way was
the political faction dodge, and by
ascribing all unpopular legislation
by county officials to Carthage, though
there hadn't been Carthage nian
elected to office in years. Every dis
appointed office seeker was turned into
a howler against Carthage by Warsaw
money or other influence. The con-
sequence is that in that big diversified
agricultural county OF $4,000 popula-
ton there is not town of 2300 inhab-
itants; no home market for produce
and such a feeling of hostility that

All the evening Stella had looked
forward to the moment when she
might dance with Alfred. During the
programme Gideon had knocked at the
door of grandma ANS room, then the
green room,'' to ask for coming
waltzes, and had gone away scowling
at Stel1a's refusal.
Their brief players moment had
passed, when Alfred's eyes had burned
into hers, revealing his own heart in
Romeo's words.
Yet, now that 1t was over, 1t seemed
dream, and Stella began to doubt,
to fear. No formal words could more
fully disclose them. one to the other;
still an intangible veil had dropped
between them. Alfred was withheld
from her; or did he withhold himself?
No matter what it was, this hour she
would claim. One dancei Once to feel
his arms about her, to fancy him her
very own-she would dare fate for
this; would borrow from the future

what usury she must pay.
AS they neared Mr.. Croker stand
ing by the Office door the jam of
onlookers halted them. Some one ad-
dressed Stella and she did not hear
Mr.. Crocker's low request for an i'm
mediate word with Alfred. He told
her of it as they walked slowly down
the room.
She saw an angry CLEAN in his eye,
saw his set, stern jaw; but he spoke
hardly word. Stella almost felt that
his anger was for her. In vain she looked
for some tender glance, some whisper
that would explain. She could not
know that Alfred was fighting one of
the few fierce battles of his life; that
he was almost ready to strike out
with his fist for possession of her, to
defy Mr.. Croker, business, all the
sane and safe and dutiful things of
life. But the wild moment passed,
and more than once on his way to the
door he looked back tender messages
to her.
The supper hour came; but she
would not go with Gideon upstairs,

ing that Alfred, in his first search for
her, would miss her. Neither would
she dance afterward, but sat out a

on this one night-what little there
was left of it.

The music stopped suddenly. AL

was speaking. An unusual, solemn

to her surroundings. Mrs. Sackett

conspicuous courtesy.

merry-making to dreamland.
