drew a chair rather close to Kate
as If for greater privacy of speech,
and Kate, noting the details of his
dress and careful grooming, again
reflected to herself that the theory
she had heard in the bus must be
all wrong, at least in this case of
Tom Hampton.
"It's a funny thing" said Tom
Hampton, "but since I've been here
I've just about doubled the
amount of business I've brought in
but l haven't had one raise. And
there are four or five of the men
who aren't doing nearly so well
who have had raises several times.
OF course, it is Mr.. Standish's af-
fair, not mine. But / wondered if
you knew why it is that he never
gives me any more"
Lets see," said Kate, dropping
into her purely business manner.
"There was Jones and Greigson
and Ladd and Innis. They had
raises, and you and Henley and
JdChSOu uluu l. 1Ou anu I1culcy
and Jackson aren't married-the
others are. MIR. Standish always
gives the men raises when they
marry, and he keeps on raising
them. It's only fair"
mot really fair at ALL" said Tom
Hampton. "A bachelor might have
responsibilities, a widowed sister
or blind aunt, or a-or something
like that. Besides, it isn't any of
his business. He should pay what
we are worth"
Kate Hickson had never seen
Tom Hampton so fervent before.
The mood, she thought, became him
well, but she said nothing.
Something ought to be done
about it," he said.
"Only one thing to do about it"
came a voice deep but trif1e trem-
ulous from the doorway, unmistak-
ably that of Mr.. Standish, the much
married "boss." "Only one thing,
and that is to get married. Bach
elors don't deserve to. get what they
earn"

Kate thought, little unpleasantly.
Then he and Tom Hampton went
away and Kate sat there thinking.
Perhaps those women on the bus
top had been right-perhaps any
woman could marry any man she
wanted to, providing he were
free. With these thoughts was
the impression of the strength
and good nature and the good
looks of Tom Hampton. 1t is
small wonder if Kate's thoughts
wandered a little from her work
that day, and if a strange new idea
half impulse, half resOlve-took
form in her mind.
The next morning when Kate en-
countered Tom Hampton as he
came into her Office she looked at
him with a rather arch smile.
"Good morning, Mr.. Hampton,
she said, and Tom commented to
himself that it was an odd thing
that he had never noticed what
trim and pretty stenOgrapher Mr..
Standish had. After that he felt
a species of self-consciousness
whenever she passed him. Always
she looked at him a little archly.
Mr. Hampton had to admit to him
self that the girl really seemed to
like him. When he talked now she
listened attentively. Doubtless she
found him entertaining. Well, he
was rather entertaining, thought
Tom to himself, and the next day
he asked her to have dinner with
him.
Three weeks later Tom Hampton
asked Kate to marry him, and Kate
said she would.
Funny thing is, said Tom, 'it
all began after what Mr.. Standish
said about giving raises only to the
married men. Of course, I'll be
glad to get the raise" he added.
"but l think l would have woOed
you anyway. When a man finds
the woman he wants, nothing
stands in the way"
And Kate murmured: II think
so, too"

And again they heard the voice
of the Fairy Queen, sending them
a helpful suggestion:
"There are goodies for you to try

Before the farmer starts to now"
Pretty soon Mr.. Meadow Mouse
and Mr. Mole were off for the next
meadow.
All the children went with them.
Mrs. Meadow Mouse and Mrs. Mole
had said at first it would be
great trouble to move, but when
they had heard of the Fairy

BLOSSOM FETE CHIEFS SPLIT
ON BICENTENNIAL INCLUSION
N. F. Richards Statement Apple Festival
to Be Brought to Capital Is Denied
by w. L. Cooper

diately after its presentation in Win
chester"
At the District OF Columbia Bicen-
tennial Commission headquarters. it was
said that Richards had agreed to bring
the festival here and that so far as
known the show would be staged as
scheduled
The split between Cooper and Rich
ards, both prominent Shenandoah VAL
ley apple growers, apparently is due to
the fact Cooper had not been con-
suited over plans for moving the festival,
according to friends of the pair.
That the Bicentennial Commission
acted in good faith in permitting Rich
ards to announce the festival change
through the commissions publicity
channels was evidenced in the file Of
correspondence between Kruckman and
the director general. Letters and tele-
grams to Richards disclosed that Kruck-
man understood the pageant was to be
brought here and 50 stated in the cor
respondence, which was not denied by
Richards. 1t was pointed out also that
Richards was in the office of the COM
mission the day the announcement APP
peared in the newspapers and expressed
qualification at the publicity given.
A formal statement clearing up the
controversy between Cooper and Rich
ards is expected to be made late today
by the pair.

IS ABOVE NORMAL
Excess of 2.09 Inches Seen.
Clear Sky and Cooler
Weather Due.

With the total rainfall for August
now standing at 5.89 inches. which is
zoe inches above normal, Washington
has compiled a monthly excess of rain
for the second time since November,
1929, wnen the drought officially began.
it was revealed at the Weather Bureau
today.
The first monthly excess was recorded
in May, the bureau said. when the rain
fall was liza inches above the normal
for that month.
Years Total Still Low.
The total rainfall for the last week.
including the .l3 of an inch that has
fallen since o'clock last night was
90. the bureau reported. This figure
compares with the 227 inches which
was recorded here last week.
But while August and May have wit
messed above normal Tainfalls, the bu-
reau experts report that the effect of
the drought in this section still is not
overcome. The extreme lack OF precipi-
tation in January and February Of this
year, they explain, prevents the recent
excuses from giving Washington a
total rainfall that equals normal for the
year.
Change Is Forecast.
Meanwhile, the bureau expects the
rain today TO stop entirely by late aft
ernoon so that tonight and tomorrow
will be fair. The temperature tonight
is expected TO be slightly lower than
last night.
