On the Blair fathers suggestion. the meeting adjourned to Henry's room in order that the in. valid might listen to proceedings. Upon Henry disease had done its utmost, and he was now an object of frightful size and color. They did not, however, see him, as 1t deemed wise by those in charge to place tall screen before his bed.
 "tDid you notice in today's paper" the Lame Lady remarked casually to the Blair father, about that woman who was arrested for ob- taining money under false pretenses? She said she was collecting for City Missions and some one found out that she was using the money for herself. What do you suppose will happen to her for obtaining money that way. under false pretenses?"
 Well. I suppose" the Blair father sadd slew. ly, shell be arrested and fined pretty her lAy. and perhaps sent to prison for month / six months or a year. This obtaining money under false pretenses is pretty serious business"
 '''What-what is false pretenses, father?" It was Alice who asked the question. She looked as though she were getting sick again. Rather ina Likewise had a turn for the worse.

Take, for instance. this garden party from which your little society has earned that cigar4boxful of money Now you made this mon. ey by telling people that the garden party was for the Benefit Of Home, Missions and the Fresh Air Fund. Isn't that so? Now then, listen: If. instead of turning this money over 60 Home Mis- sdons and the Fresh Air Fund you were to spend 1t some other way-cn candy. or trolley rides, or picnic-then people would say that you had obtained the money under false pTetenses."
 "And-and would we be arrested?" The twins looked positively i'll. and even Gladys Bailey was startled sa,f '. ss1-e t4 - 'ss

 They were the last, and Margery and the Lame Lady, waiting awhile before repacking the cream had time for a comfortable little chat Before she knew 1t, Margery had told the Lame Lady about Pinldes sad end and the Lame Lady was just as kind and sweet as Margery knew she would be. Moreover, she said the pigeons belonged to Willie Jones and if he wanted to trade them that was all right And she said. of course Willie Jones might see the golden room They both might every time they came. Then the Lame Lady asked about Gladys, and wanted to know whether NTargery and Willie had at last been admitted to membership in Gladys's so- cdety. Margery's own fears about that had been growing. . ! But don't you think. she'll just have to let us in after the way we've been worling?"
 The Lame Lady thought she would.

 Then Margery had to explain about the Zoo picnic and, when the Lame Lady thought that the garden party was for the benefit of Home Missions. Margery explained about that too. The Lame Lady seemed deeply interested and asked many questions. They grew so intimate that finally Margery invited the Lame Lady to help that evening, and the Lame Lady consent ed to be Gate-keeper and Cashier Then the Lame Lady herself wondered whether Margery would like to have Richard come over and man age the cake and ice cream.

The cattle market seems to be
on the boom as several buyers
have been In this county recently
and are Offering big prices. It is
unfortunate that so many young
cattle have been marketed in re-
cent years "a the range is almost
depleted. However, this has
had one beneficial effect as IL has
allowed the range TO recover from
being over grazed and now what
there Is left Is much better.
The settling Of the vast terri
tory within the farming area Of
this interior country has had its
effects on the stock business and
the old time stock man thought
he was put out OF business en-
tirely. Now men engaged in the
business are adjusting them
selves to the conditions and soon
we will be raising as many cattle
as ever and getting better prices
for them.

ly, also some for the fair. Some
fine grasses and pears have ar
rived from the Alvord ranch Of
Frank Clerf; squash from the j.
c. Beatty farm and melons from
the farm of A. II. Hollis. The
latter were sent to the Times
Herald man as well as a pumpkin
from Frank Clerf. We are GER
tainly living on the fat of the
land since the crops have begun
to mature and appreciate these
gifts, but want more of such for
the fair, That's the place we
are going to advertise the re-
sources of this big country and
there should be sufficient speci-
men of each to make a good
showing.
Products are coming in for the
exhibition and some of the finest
samples of grain any country can
produce have been received as
well as grasses and vegetables.
The latter should not be brought
in so far ahead of the exhibition
as they will wither, but they will
be given the best care possible.
Some of the finest grain received
has been damaged by the over
supply of rain which has visited
us since it was cut and it has
discolored the sheaves until it is
hard to get the best samples for
exhibition purposes.
Among other samples received
from distance during the week
is load from the Waverly sec
ton brought up by Mr.. Brake
man and some fine dry farm
specimen from the Welcomeville
district brought in by James Reel.
