Rubietta asked several people if they could tell her who
judged the bread before she found anyone who knew
At last lady pointed out tall and fat
talking together and said, There are two of Them.
Rubietta made her way toward these determined
TO ask for justice. She stood them for several
minutes ,nnoticed, as she did not like to interrupt
their conversation. At cngth she said tiidy, "If you
please Neither of the men heard her. eff you
please she ventured, little. louder But she had
to try the third time before the fat turned to her
and said, We'll, my little girfi what is it?'

We'll well--vcry good, indeed! Did you bake it

But please, SIR, protested Rubetta, very solemnly,

NO indeed" said the fat man. Second is first-rae

Before Rubietta could say anything more another

you'll miss the races; and they moved toward the
door, leaving her forornly realizing that she had ap

against a stout old lady who was approaching the

In reply Rubetta poured forth her tale of woe, to

Rubetta, with anxious face and throbbng heart
managed to work her way into the hail. which
filed with exhibitors and their friends eager to see
whether or not they had obtained prize. Rubietta
passed slowly along with the throng She had caught
glimpse of large table standing raised platform
which end of the hail. and this table
were placed the bread pickles, butter honey and canned
fruit This table her goal Slowly-oh how
sowly!-the crowd moved along, and Rubieta with it,
until she reached the steps leading up the platform
She could the table plainly The bread all
at the end nearest to her-one two, three four five,
six loaves. She pressed on another step, and she
saw the coveted red card on-was it her loaf?
Surely that wasno, impossible but yes, yes yes. she
would know that loaf of bread among thousand
The red card was on her loaf!
Rubietta had first prizel
In the crush she had become separated from the other
children, that there9was no one whom she knew to
exut with her. She had learned her fate while still
on the floor. few minutes and she had mounted
the steps and reached the table. In making her way
toward the Bread she passed the butter and the honey
and noticed that Mrs Jones had taken first prize
butter and third honey. She paused to read the
cards The red said First Prize, awarded Mrs.
Bessie Jones'" and the white said, Third Prize,
awarded TO Mrs Bessie ZONES"
g Pm glad Mrs. Jones got two prizes, reflected
Rubetta 81 suppose my card will read, First Prize

moment later and the little girl stood beside her
loafit was her dear and well known loaf, doubt of
that-and it bore the precious red card But what
this inscription staring her the face? First Prize
awarded to Mrs. Mary Thompson" Rubietta read it
over and over while her heart sank Who Mrs. Mary
Thompson was she did not know, but she did know
that Mrs. Thompson had been awarded prize for
bread she had not baked. Mechanically the little girl
read the blue card the loaf beside her own Second
Prize awarded to Miss Rubctta Gardener She looked
critically at the secondprize loaf Could she have been
mistaken in her own bread? But no, no, no! the
secondprze loaf could be none of hers though it had
borne her dozen times. The judges have
mixed the exhibitors names and have thought her
bread belonged to Mrs. Thompson ard Mrs. Thomp-
sons to her.
Something must be done, and at once Some mus,

day

kneaded the dough for the last time Then she had
bright idea Il wonder how would do to put my lucky
penny in loaf? That might help to get the
prize. l believe I'll do It but I won't tell a soul
not even mother.
She was all alone, in the Kitchen and drawing little
silver coin which she called her lucky penny" from
her pocket she washed it carefully cut deep slash
in the dough, and dropped in the mascot Her cheeks
were burning and her eyes shining with excitement
she rolled and smoothed the dough until she felt
that the silver safe in the heart of the Loaf and
that could guess her secret Strange to say,
that particular loaf better than any OF the Others
and later when Rubietta drew it from the ove1 light
as feather and baked delicate brown her mother
looked at it critically and said This certainly is
handsome loaf the best of the baking, and you may
get second prize, if you don't get first. But don't set
your heart on being winner. 1t often seems much
matter of luck as of good baking
s'Maybe the luck may my way them sug-

and laying her hand on Rubieta's shoulder said kindly:
Il am very sorry, my dear but don't feel that we
arc justified in changing awards as Mrs. Thomp-
son is not hero speak for herself, and the ioaves
are SO very much alike We may have made mistake,
but we were very careful and don't think that we
did. If either you Mrs. Thompson had put mark
on your bread in baking, could be certain; but as
it is"
"Oh, oh, ohr' cried Rubietta, excitedly my lucky
penny my lucky penny! forgot all about it until this
very moment!
What do you mean Rubietta?" asked Mrs Viii
kins.
"Why, I put my lucky penny in my loaf of bread
when I was kneading it, and it's in there now. Cut
my loaf open and you'll find it. How could l have
forgotten it,"
One of the men took knife and cut slowly through
the middle of the loaf Sure enough, the knife struck
something hard, and there the lucky penny ee1e
to the rescue!

the fat THAT is lucky penny for you surely.

FAILURE OF EXPERIMENT
FARM NOT LEHI's FAULT


LEE1, Utah Co, May 12.-Referrins
to the article in last nights News
from Provo, stating that Secy. OF State.
Tingey had written a letter 20 the
county commissioners stating that the
county would have the running OF the
central experiment farm here and all
crops thereon for tho next two years,
as water for the station had not been
furnished and no appropriations would
be available. The statement in the
article that Lel1i people had not lived
up to their agreement to furnish enough
water to run the station is resented
here, as they have been and are ready
to furnish their share of what water
may be necessary. In addition to what
water belonged to the station, an agree
ilment had been signed between Leli and
American Fork people to make up the
deficiency, the I-eht people turned over
6S shares of water to the Lehi IrriSa-
ton company and authorized them to
give that number of shares to the state,
and the American Fork people were to
turn over 80 shares Of water, which
agreement was accepted by the special
committee appointed by the last legis-
slature to investigate this station. Lehi
turned over these IS sharese of water
for the use of the station two years ago
and it has been in the hands OF the
iLehi Irrigation company for the use Of
the state and Lehi has been waiting
during that time for American Fork
people to furnish their so shares of wa
ter as agreed upon. which they have
not done. Since the station was To-
Gated here, Iehi has always furnished
more than its share of the water, but
the American Fork people have not
done what they agreed to. therefore
tho entire blame and responsibility of
losing the appropriation and having, it
turned back to the county rests upon
the American Fork citizens.
