Miss Melissa kept the millinery "em-
porium" Of the village. To be sure
there was another shop where hats
wereSOld, but the "elite" never thought
of going there because the prices were
less and the hats lacked the ''F'renchy"
touch of Miss Melissa's headgear. Be
sides, Miss Melissa was personally pop
ular.
No one knew Miss Melissa's age. 1t
was guessed all the way from thirty
five to fifty, but she certainly did not
look over the first figure, and declared
she never meant to get old.
With her natural attractiveness, and
her growing bank account it was not
strange that she should have two very
enterprising suitors among the few un-
attached gentlemen of the place. These
two were Ferdy Watkins, the drug
gist, and Jared Barker, "loans real es-
tate and insurance" agent. Barker was
considered one of the solid men of the
town. He was a widower of about
fifty-fve, and had lately been elected
sheriff. Ferdy Watkins certainly was
younger than Miss Melissa, but the
disparity in years apparently made no
difference to the young man.
About this time there appeared in
the village a stranger of Enthusiastically
foreign appearance, in fact with quite
the ear-marks of the Teuton. To be
an unknown German in an American
village about two weeks after the dec
laration of war by the United States
was not only to arouse curiosity, but
to incite suspicious watch upon ones
every movement. When the stranger
