cept of his little niece on this particu-
lar afternoon and had been "looklng
up" instead of having his nose in the
big ledger, making out monthly state
ments, he might have discovered the
coming storm In season to withdraw
his permission to Chef to take Caro-
Ign May out on the Ice.
1t was always dark enough I'm the
little back Office in winter for the hard
ware dealer to have lamp burning. SO
he did not notice the snow furry that
had taken Sunrise Cove in its arms
until he CHANGED to walk out to the
front Of the store for needed exercise.
II declare to man, It's showing !"
muttered Joseph Stagg. "Thought we'd
got through with that for this season."
He opened the store door. There was
q chill, clammy wind, and the snow
was damp and packed quickly under
foot.
"Huml If that Chef Gormley were
here now, he might be Of some use for
once" thought Mr., Stage.
Suddenly he bethought him of the
errand that had taken the boy away
from the store.
"Hey, Stage |" shouted shopkeeper
from over the way, who had likewise
come to the door, did you hear that2"
"Hear what?" asked Joseph Stage,
puzzled,
"There she goes again! That's ice,
old man. She's breaking up. Well
have spring with us in no time now"
The reverberatlng crash that had
startled Chef Gormley had startled Jo-
seph Stage as well.
my goodness" gasped the hard
ware dealer, and he started instantly
away from the store, bareheaded as he
was, without locking the door behind
him-somethlng he had never done be-
fore, since he had established himself
In business on the main street of Sun
rise Cove.
Just why he ran he could scarcely
have explained. OF course, the chill
dren had not gone out in this snow

this ice, quick, for l think It's floating
out with me-"
Chef drew on the rope, the sled
moved forward and plunged with just
little splash, into the pool.
In a few seconds he had "snaked"
the Sled to the edge Of the Ice foe
on which he stood. He picked the sob
bling Carolyn May off the sled and
then lifted that up too. The little girl
was wet below her waist.
"I'm-T'm just as co-old as II can
be-" she chartered. "Oh, Chef! take
me home, please"
"I'm a-going to-" chartered the lad
in return.
He dragged off his coat now, wrung
it as dry as he could and wrapped 1t
around Carolyn Mays legs before he
seated her on the sled again. Then
he seized the rope once more and
started toward the sound of the chapel
bell.
Prince began to bark. He could not
move forward much faster than Chef
did, but he faced the wind and began
to bark with persistence.
"There - there's something over
there, Chef" murmured Carolyn May.
She was all but breathless herself.
Then, through the wind and storm,
came a faint hail. Prince eagerly
pursued his barking. Chef tried to re-
ply to the hail, but his voice was only
q hOarse croak.
We've got to keep on-we've got to
keep on" muttered the lad, dragging
the sled slowly.
The dog had disappeared. Carolyn
May was weeping frankly. Chef CORN
ley was pushing slowly through the
Storm staggering at each step, scarce
ly aware in what direction he was
heading.

NEW AGRICULTURAL
BUILDING ERECTED

The most important Improvement
at the Louisiana State Fair grounds
this year is the erection of a man.
moth new agricultural building,
known as the Louis N. Brueggerhoff
Memorial Hall, in honor of the late
Mr.. Brueggerhoff, for several years
secretary of the State Fair.
This building, which will meet a
long felt want due to the rapid growth
of the agricultural exhibits, repre-
sents an expenditure of approximate
ly $4,000. 1t is constructed OF brick
with terra Gotta trimmings and clas-
sic in style, and is the largest struc.
ture on the grounds. 1t is 25O feet
long and 130 wide, with center aisle
As feet in width. At each end there
is a wide triple entrance, and three
single entrances at each side. There
is ample space for all Of the parish
fair booths, the Junior Extension ex.
hibits, State University exhibits and
all other agricultural displays.
A combination lecture and moving
picture booth, or room 30x60 feet has
been provided especially for use by
the Junior Extension Department OF
the University, and there are also an
Office for the officials and assistants
in charge, and rest room for the
lady attendants.
In erecting this mammoth building
this year, the Fair Association had
in mind not only the importance of
encouraging agricultural progress at
all times, but of giving special en-
couragement while the nation is at
war and the need for food production
is record-breaking.
