EXEMPTION BOARD
Completes Work And Certi6es Full Quota.

The Garrard county Exemption Board
has certified to the District Board.
Garrard county's full quota of men for
the Selective Draft numbering total
of III men, from a total of 300 exam
ined.
This is splendid record as many
counties have not vet completed their
work and have examined many more
men than was done by our local board
There yet remains great deal of de-
tail work to be done by the board which
may keep them in session at least until
the last man has been ordered to re,
port at the Cantonment.

The spell was broken by a SOUND
from by own room. 1t was not loud.
but in the silence of the house 1T
reached me through the open doors
leading from the nursery and my
chamber into the dressing be-
tween Graces quarters and mine.
Someone was tapping cautiously at
my door.
The sound did not startle me. On
the contrary, it brought me back TO
a reassuring sense of the practical
and normal. The eerie sensation that
somebody was watching me slipped
from me. and 1 started to answer the
summons without any hesitation.
Come in" I called as soon as
reached my own room.
1 fancied that one of the maids
might have come with a message from
her mistress. Perhaps Mrs. Gore was
i'll and had rang for Maggie and sent
her for me.
was. therefore, surprised when the
widow herself entered, quickly clos
ing the door behind her. She wore a
heavy wrapper over her nightgown; !;
on her unstockinged feet were thick
felt slippers. She was very pale and
trembling with nervousness.
May talk to you for a few min
utes?" she asked. 'I came up Just
as quietly as 1 could, for I do not
want Brewster to suspect 1 am here.
He told me not to come"
He only meant that Grace was
not i'll enough to need you" soothed.
She was entirely unlike the prim,
somewhat dictatorial person to whom
l was accustomed. She must be very
wretched to have changed thus.
~ did not come up to see about
Grace" she told me, but to talk to
you"
returned to the room in which the
sleeping child lay. 1 glanced about
carefully. 1 told myself l was fool
ish to do this. for what could be here
to harm anyone? The sensation l
had had of being watched did not
recur, and 1 persuaded myself that the
uncanny experience had been the re-
suit of my overstrained nervous con-
dition. Mrs. Cores arrival had brought
me from the reign of imagination
down to commonplace reality.
The door from the nursery into
the hall was closed. There was no
key to it. Doors were seldom locked
at Hillcrest. The neighborhood was a
safe one and we felt no need of locks
and bolts to our rooms.
Turning off the light in the nursery,
I went back to Mrs. Gore She had
seated herself upon my couch, where
she had sat on that first day of my
arrival at Hillcrest. But how differ
ent she looked now
please come and sit by me-" she
quavered. Then we can talk with
out disturbing anybody"
l did as she requested. What did
you wish TO talk to me about? l
asked.

ployer. had told her that I was en-
gagged to him. 1 was sure it was of

essential it was that 1 keep my own
nerves steady.
"I am afraid that Brewster would
be very angry if he ever knew men,
toned this to you," she began irrel-
evantly. HE gets very angry some
times. But l hope you won't tell him.
You won't will you?"
Certainly not" / replied.
Elizabeth Surprises Her
You are very young" she went on,
and l think you ought to know the
truth. Brewster has told me that
you are engaged to be married to

She looked at me as not under
standing, then nodded.
Perhaps not yet-but you will be
as soon as he is sure it's settled
what he hasn't told you, I mean"
She was watching me narrowly, as
cat watches a mouse. Her gaze
puzzled me.
II don't know what you're talking
about" 1 declared.
She did not take her eyes from
mine. About his wife-Graces moth
er. What do you know about herr"
Only" 1 said slowly, wondering
why my voice sounded so faint in my
own ears-"only-that she is dead"
She is NOT dead"
But four words, yet as heard

Jared my brain.
''She is not dead" 1 heard myself
repeating the short sentence as if
had been another person.
NO. she whispered hoarsely, her
face close to mine, her eyes wide and
staring. "Oh-how Brewster would
hate me If he knew 1 was telling you
this! I don't know what he would
do to me to get even with me. But
1 made up my mind you should under

the engagement that will mean that
what should be Grace's money will be
yours-that the home that was my
sisters home when she was a bride
and that she loved will go to a wom-

will get all that would have been my
sisters or her childs If you had
never come here"
Her fingers had fastened on mine
like hooks of steel. l saw that she
was almost beside herself 1 must
calm her.
BE quiet Mrs. Gore" l said sharp
ly, all my wits suddenly alert. You
do not know what you are talking
about. l shall never marry your
r-in-law-neverr'

INSISTED, still gripping my hand. He

warning. The next thing is the auto.

Starbuck had no farther to go
than to the garage where he had put
up his car, and when he got it and
drove to the Kinzie building, Smith
came out of the shadow of the en-
trance to mount beside him.
Drive around to the garage
again and let me try another phone" p"

wire isn't working"
The short run was quickly made,
and Smith went to the garage office.
A moment later a two-hundred-
pound policeman strolled up to put
a huge foot on the running board of
the waiting auto. Starbuck greeted
him as friend.
Hello, Mac. How's tricks with

Then I'll fill it for YOU So far as
know-legally, you understand
this raid has never been authorized
by the courts; at least, that is what
I'm going to assume until the prop

Therefore 1 am free to strike one

Starbuck's fitting chair righted it

how to go at it?"
Every move; and everyone of

"All right" said the mine owner
briefly. Count me in"
For information only" was the
brusque reply. You have stake in
the country and a good name to
maintain. l have nothing. But you
can tell me a few things. Are our
workmen still on the ground?"
Yes. Ginty said there were only
a few stragglers who came to town
with him. Most of the two shifts are
staying on to get their pay-or un-
til they find out that they aren't 60

other question; you know Sheriff
Harding fairly well, don't you?
What sort of man is he?"
Square as a die, and as nervy as
they make 'em. When he gets a

That's all I'll ask of him. Now

and I'll drive you around"
Three minutes later the threaten
ing danger was a danger pushed
; little way into the future, and Star
buck was back at the garage curb
waiting for Smith to come out.
Through the window he saw Smith
placing the receiver on its hook, and
moment afterward he was open
ing the car door for his passenger.
Did you make out to raise the
judge" he inquired, as Smith climb

Yes. He will meet me at his

John? Judge Warner is only a cir

NO; but there is one thing that

The great overpowering need
of the country for the. general
cultivation of land this Summer
has brought about the demand
for suitable gardening garments
for women as we'll as for men.
This overall dress, as it is called,
is exceedingly practical for it is
easy to slip on and off, it is
easily laundered, it looks we'll
and in it the wearer can tramp
about a farm or work in garden
between the rows of vegetables
without the encumbrance and
inconvenience of a skirt.
Gingham plain and figured and
simple sturdy materials of such
sort are the appropriate ones.
The blouse and trousers are
each joined to a separate belt
and the two are buttoned to-
gether. The openings of the
trousers are at the sides. Many
women are utilizing the gar
ment for indoor work and it is
claimed to be ideal for the
housewife.
For the medium size will be
needed, 81 yards of material
27 inches wide, ~ yards SO
with yard SO inches wide
for the trimming and IS yard
SO for the bands.
The pattern No. o46o is cut
in sizes from "a to az inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents.
