Merit, progress and economy Is the
policy Of the Wisconsin state board o:
agriculture In the conduct of the state
fair to be held in Milwaukee. Septem-
Ger to u. and also in making ar
raneements for improvements of
grounds and buildings and laying
foundation for future fairs, according
TO Secretary James c. A. Mckenzie .
Every member of the board is sue
cessfui in business. and Mr.. Mckenzie
asserts that the members are working
together for the interest OF the fair
on the same business principles which
have proven successful in their pri-
vate affairs.
Proof of Mr. McKenzie's stand is
afforded by reference 10 the state fair
appropriations. amounting to $3.50. 600,
as approved recently BY a legislative
committee. In the case of the APP
preparation for the completion of the
new grand stand, the board asked for
$4,000. and was able to prove the
soundness of its judgment before the
committee to the extent that the

committeeman deciding to recommend
an appropriation of $4,000
The businesslike argument which
the board offers in demanding this
amount of money is that the grand.
stand is revenue producer, and that
1t is sound policy for the state to
make first those Improvements and
construct those buildings which will
tend to make the fair self-sustaining
and in many special cases bring
profit. Patrons OF the fair are willing
to pay good price for seats in a corr
Portable and safe grandstand in order
to see good races and other attrac.
tons. The income from the sale of
seats in good grandstand in any
state fair park aggregates thousands
of dollars every year, and the COM
parative cost of maintenance, after
the structure is once completed, is
very small.

CHAPTER Xvii.
Loss of the silver Notebook.


THE memoranda OF my adven-
@ lures at HopefieId Manor fall
under two general headings.
On the one hand were the ghost
and the library chimney, on the other
the extraordinary gathering of Cecilia
suitors. AS followed at Miss Octa-
Was side she seemed to have dis
missed the ghost and the fractions
chimney from her mind. Her humor
changed completely. AS in the morn
ing, when, unaccountab1y abandoning
her habituaI high flown speech, she had
asked me about Ceeilia's silver note
book, she seemed troubled, and when
we had reached the second floor she
paused and lost herself in unwonted
preoccupation.
'fLet US sit here moment" she said,
indicating a long davenport in the
broad hall. For the first time her man
ner betrayed WEAKNESS. She laid her
hand quietly on my arm and looked at
me fxedIy. Arnold ~ she said-ttyou

@tMiss HOLSTER answered, eff you
trusted Providence this morning to
send you a corps of servants when
yours had been most unfortunately
scattered by ghosts or rumors of ghosts,
why will you not continue to have con-
fdence that your affairs will always

and benefcent?
