CHAPTER i.

Cherry Strickland came in the door
of the Strickland house, and shut II
behind her, and stood so, with her
hands behind her ON the knob, and her
slender body leaning forward, and her
bosom rising and falling -on deep,
ecstatic breaths. 1t was. May In Cali
fornia, she was just eighteen, and for
twcnty-one minutes she had been en-
gagged to be married. 81
She hardly knew why, after that
last farewell to Martin. she had run
SO swiftly up the path, and why she
had flashed into the house, and closed
the door with such nOiseless haste.
There was nothing to run for But II
was as II she feared that the JOY with
In her might escape into the moonlight
night that was so perfIlmed with
lilacs and the scent OF wet woods. She
was afraid that II was all too Won
derful to be true, that she would
awaken In the morning to find II only
n dream, that she would somehow fall
short of Martins ideal--somehow fail
him--somehow turn all this magic Of
moonshlne and kisses into ashes and
heartbreak.
She was a miser with her treasure
already; she wanted to fly with IL,
and to hide ii away, and to test Its
reality In secret, alone. she had
come running in from the wonderland
down by the gate, just for this, just
to prove to herself that Ii would not
vanish in the commonpaceness of the
shabby hall, would not disappear be-
fore the everyday contact of everyday
things. Er
Dad was In the sitting room, with
the girls. The doctors house was full
of girls. Anne, his niece, was twenty

was supposed to keep q sharp eye on
Cherry, too. But she hadn't been
sharp enough to keep. Martin Lloyd

Cherry, as she stood breathless and
laughing in the dark hallway.
An older woman might have gone
upstairs, to dream alone of her new
Joy, but Cherry thought that 1t would
be ''fun" to join the family, and "act
as If nothing had happened" She

S. A. Pelton, secretary of the Sank
County Agricultural societyf attended
the state meeting of fair secretaries
at Madison and reports that sixty-four
fairs were represented. None of these
are owned by the counties and when
there is a deficit the counties make an
appropriation, similar to the plan of
the state. Most of the fairs owned by
the counties are in the northern part
of the state where much good is de-
rived from the advertising. Many con-
cession men were at Madison and
their greatest worry seems to be the
high freigh rates, this applying es-
pecially to such attractions as the
merry-go-round and the whip. At
Madison there was banquet and
many subjects vital to fairs were DIS
cussed. The date for the Baraboo
fair has not been fixed.
