Eighth Grade, Elberts4 Storm;
Ninth Grade, Anna Cass; and
Tenth Grade, Mary Proctor. We
feel that these pupils deserve
special mention, and we hope that
other pupils will reach these po-
sitions next examination. We
are unable to understand why it
is that some people in our county
are so prejudice against the BrOd-
head Fair. We have always tried
to treat those who have attended
our fairs courteously, AMI as we
would like to have been trea'ed,
and some of these very individuals
arethe ones that have pat on long
faces because the Judgment that
was secured against the old Rock
castle County Fair Association
did not put a stop to the fair
IN these parts. Some of the faces
have grown so long that the bar
bers have raised the price of a
shave, and all because that Brod
head is going TO have another fair
1t is often the Case when any kind
of an Enterprise is a success that
some people are so narrow thai
they can not help but show them
selves in opposition. and some of
these folks would not be holding
exalted positions today had it not
been for the los atty of the Brod
head citizens Now we know that
these things are facts. and we ex
pect to have an opportunity in the
future to show these parties how
much we appreciate this kind of
treatment. We are going to have
the biggest fair ever pulled off in
Rockcastle. and we hope that the
knockers and kickers will keep
up their knocking and kicking
because it helps to turn the tide
this our way. Work began last
Monday, and if there is a man in
county that is from Missouri

SAVE WoLsEY's WINE VAULT
British Government to Preserve
Liquor Cellar Of the Cardinal
at Whitehall.

London.-Cardinal Wolsey's wine
cellar is to be undisturbed by the gov
ernment, when the additional offices
are built at Whitehall. For years
past the vault has served as q re-
freshment room for the clerks Of the
public Offices In the United Services
institution. It Is q low chamber.
When the stucco facing was cleared
from the brick the arms Of the great
cardinal. carved In stone. were
brought to view. Although .Wolsey
probably built Whitehall palace. York
place was standing 800 years before
his time and had been occupied in sue
cession by II archbishops of York.
The wine vault was situated imme-
diately behind the great hall. When
Henry VIII seized the palace 1t be-
longed to the see OF York. and was
place OF sumptuous magnificence.
It's buildings and gardens covered
three acres. and from the stairs upon
the river Wolsey entered his barge
and was rowed to Esher after his dis
grace. Henry. as soon as he got the
palace, changed It's name to York
place. In 1898 fro burned through all
of the buildings above ground. and
subsequent excavations have de-
stroyed all below the surface except
the cardinals wine cellar.

yards from the old part. and is quite
uninteresting. But the old portion,
being quite detached from the more
modern part, has quite a number Of
these mud-walled dwellings. They Rp-
pear to be hundreds Of years old. and
are now getting SO unsafe that they
ara all condemned. The walls of many
of them are nearly two feet thick,
solid mud, and, from the appearance
of the walls in some places. seem to
have been built of slabs or large
bricks" Of mud. Some idea OF the
thickness OF the walls may be got
from a view of the ruined dovecote
This is an extremely interesting build

place that the entrance doorway to

high, and all the interior walls are
honeycombed with nesting holes for

building being alike inside. l under
stand that there used to be matched
roof to this place. but 1t got Into such
disrepair that a new tiled roof had
to be supplied. Indeed. in some cases.
in the mud-built cottages they have
had to be repaired from time to time.
and this has been done in most cases
with brickwork. The whole Of the old
hamlet is well worth visit, for 1t
has the appearance almost Of an Early
Saxon group of dwellings. 1t seems
pity these old places must eventual
ly disappear; but one of the villagers
there told me they were scarcely f1t
for human habitation and they must
give place to modern houses.

BLlSTERS ALL OVER BODY

Hollene, New Me1ico.-"Our little
boy first broke out in little yellow
blisters about the size OF pin, heads
and they itched and hurt SO badly he
could not rest day nor night. In few
days they were running sores and
kept spreading until they were as
large as a dollar. He had them all
over his body and was nearly tortured
to death, as they hurt him 30 badly he
could hardly sleep. He would scratch
and cause great sores all over his
face and legs.

mended remedies but they didn't seem

CHAPTER v-contInued.

The girl walked on up the hlgnway
with a lifting stride. now and then
laughing to herself. or running few
steps, occasionally stopping by some
hedge to pull leaf which she rubbed
against her cheek, smelling its keen
new scent, or stopping to gaze out
across the orange-green belts Of sun
ny wind-dimpled fields. one hand push
ing back her mutinous hair from her
brow, the other shielding her eyes.
Farther on the highroad looped around
a strip of young forest. and she struck
into this for short cut In the depth
she sat down to rest on the sun
splashed roots Of a tree. Leaning back
against the scanned trunk, her felt hat
fallen to the ground, she looked like
some sea.woman emerging from an
earth.hued pool to comb her hair
against dappled rock.
She drew back against the tree and
caught her breath as . bulldog frisked
over messy boulder Just In front Of
her.
A moment more and she had thrown
herself on her knees with both arms
outstretched. "Oh. you splendid crear
ture!" she cried. you big. lovely
white darling!" ..r... .
The dog seemed in no way averss to
this sensational proceeding. He re-
sponded instantly not merely with tall
wagging, but with ecstatic srunts and
growls. Where did you come from?"
she questioned. as his pink tongue
struggled desperately to find cheek
through the whorl OF coppery hair.
"Why, you must be the one was told
not to be afraid Of .....
She petted and fondled the smooth
Intelligent muzzle. "As II any one
could be afraid of you! Well set your
master right on that point" Smiling
to herself. she pulled one of the roses
from her belt, and twisting wisp of
long grass, wound 1t round and round
the dogs neck and thrust the ragged
rose-stem firmly through It. Now"
she said, and pushed him gently from
her. "go back. sir!" 8.
He whined and licked her hand. but
when she repeated the command. he
turned obediently and left her. A lit
tie way from her he halted. with q
sudden perception Of mysterious pun
ishment, shrugged. sat down. and tried
to reach the irksome grass-wisp with
his teeth. This failing. he rolled Ia
boriously in the dirt.
Then he rose. cast . reproachful
glance behind him. and trotted on.
