Several days later, upon catching
sight Of Marjorie at the window, Over
ton swung open the little cottage gate
and called out cheerily, Lost any more
thimbles, Miss Phillips"
Marjorie, her color mounting high,
sewing with nervous haste.
You have another message from
Miss Robbins?" she asked politely.
Not on your lifer was the unexpect-
ed reply. IL came on my own account
this time. Miss Phillips. | want to ask
you some questions"
I'm very busy. Mr. OvertOn."
Garret noted the knowledge of his
name. He remembered that he had
not mentioned 1t at their first inter
view. So she had been making in-
quiries about him! She was more in
tereSted than she appeared.
do all girls think these frippery
things "a necessary matrimonial as
set?" he asked. indicating with a nod
the piles of snowy thin stuff on the
chairs about her
Your cousin and Miss Morton are
not exceptions, think"
AS she mentioned the girls name
Marjorie watched OvertOn's face close
ly, but there was no betrayal of any
personal interest
"DO you make a speciality of trous-
seaux" was his next question.
. 7 IL, 4, -
Marjorie answered. LAS soon as
have finished your Cousins there will
be one to make for Miss Morton. I'M
derstand"
"Really!" was Overton's surprised
exclamation. Who's the man. may |
ask? You have evidently been taken
into confidence"
"Pve evidently been taken in," was
Marjorie's scarcely audible reply as,
with flushed cheeks. she gathered up
her sewing and left the window.
well, by Jupiter!' exclaimed Over
ton as the truth of the situation dawn
ed upon him. $50 that's the game"
Every morning thereafter, rain or
shine. OvertOn bade Marjorie Good
morrow" at her window, for he had
discovered that through her garden lay
short cut to the village postoffice.
Marjorie on her part, failed to hang
out "No Trespassing" sign, though
common sense told her that she ought
to do so.
But one sunny morning Overton, i'm

Little Miss Marjorie" he said
pleadingly, do you suppose l could
persuade you to make trousseau for
for my wife to be-"
The color flashed rebelliously into
Marjorie's cheeks, and tears gathered
In her eyes. One daring little drop
slipped over her lashes and fell upon
Carrots hand.
"Why, what Is this, dearest? You're
not crying? Don't you love me? Don't
you want to be my wife? | thought
For answer the tired girl dropped
her head on his hands, which still held
hers, and sobbed softly.
But OvertOn understood.
Marjorie" he said lovingly. "look up
at me. little one"
Very shyly Marjorie lifted her pretty.

the window with frightened haste.
They are watching u.s." she whis-
pered from behind the curtains, "your
cousin and her friend"
I'm glad of it." Garret replied, with
laugh. do you think If l should
come back tonight, sweetheart, that
we could find any-thimbles-in the

We have 100000 invested In Il mu-
nicipal watcrwOrks plants. 1t cid not
pay expenses last year by several hun
dred dollars, where 1t should have
shown a large and increasing profit.
The peoples money Is just as good as
any money, and 1t is worth 6 per cent.
This would be $1,000. The repairs and
depreciation in value Of the machinery
is at least another per cent which
would show another $1,000
If the plant was owned by private
parties they would be assessed for tax
alton at say $4,000. At our rate this
would be $3.50 more. So with all these
figures a novice can get a good object

fire protection for Ligonier cost nearly
$9,OO0 or over three times as much as
any town pays for the same service

Origin of the Cravat.

While every man wears q cravat,
there is probably not one in thousand
who could In an Offhand way tell you
how it came about that men first
placed such an ornament about their
collars. The word cravat came into our
language about 1886. Prior to that
year feature of the uniform of the
Austrian cavalry was a wide band of
coarse linen worn in folds around the
neck under their short hussar jackets.
This cavalry organization was called
the Cravatte, its members being styled
the Cravattes. Later In the seven
teenth century France recruited a reg
iment of cavalry, adopting for 1t the
uniform of the Austrian regiment re-
cruited in Croatia. calling 1t the Royal
Cravattes. Later in England the word
cravat was applied to a neckerchief
After the battle of Steenkerke. in Flan-
ders, in 1862. an English officer brought
home the steamkirk. a long flowing
neckscarf. The neckwear today is
clearly traceable to the steamkirk and
the modification 1t underwent -Sarto-

young man. II started out very early
this morning to find you"
Marjorie glanced at the thimble,
which unconSciously she had slipped
on its proper finger.
There's no denying the evidence"
she said, with pensive little smile
which crept straight into the young
mans heart.
II have a message for you, Miss
Phillips, from my cousin, or, rather"
he corrected, smiling up at her, "a re-

THE COUNTY FAIRS.
Cooperation of the Grange and Agri-
cultural Societies Desirable.
Oswego County, N. Y.

The county agricultural societies are
beginning to see the benefit of having
the grange cooperate with them in
their annual exhibitions. Several cOun-
ty agricultural societies throughout the
state have been thus cooperating for
several years, but in other counties
they have not done so. Our attention
was recently called to an announce
ment made by the Columbia Agricul-
tura and Horticultural society of Hud-
son, whose fair is to be held Sept. 1917
and which offers for the best collective
exhibit of fruits, grains or vegetables
by any subordinate grange of the cOun-
ty Of Columbia a first prize of $40 and
second prize of $40; also $40 will be
paid to each grange making a cred
table exhibit if it does not win the
first or second premium. No entrance
fee is charged to exhibitors in this
class. The following scale of points is
