LLANI I say Allan Heros
a row you have Just got to
settle a womans row at
that the chief marshal
said plucking at the Hleevo of Allan
McNeal president of tho Clay County
Fair association Tho president scowl
ed and tried to shoulder him away
Nan Waro was waiting for him out In
tho amphitheater Naturally he was
in a fever to get done with tho abso
lutely necessary routine affairs
Come on You must tho marshal
repeated Allan made a feint of clinch
ing his lists Go away you nuisance
lie said Taylor you are a nuisance
the very worst sort
I appeal to the president It Is my
right Under the constitution and by
laws a womans voice said outside
the door grinned I knew
it was comln Dont say I didnt tell
you ho said In a stage aside as two
stout and very angry dames bulged si
multaneously through the door Tho
presidents room was a mere cuddy
ravaged from the end of Horticultural
hall One rickety chair a goods box
and an apologetic desk made up Its
furnishings Kven then there was
scant room for the pair who had plant
ed themselves at Allans elbows and
glared at each other across him
Taylor you scoundrel why didnt
you tell me 1 was wanted Allan said
mendaciously then to his visitors
Mrs Tease Mrs Sawyer what can 1
do for you You know you have only
to name It
I want Justice Mrs Sawyer began
and Im a goln to have It
Mrs Pease broke in Its a perfect
shame Allan yes I will call you Al
lan I used to know your mother so
well tho way things are run at this
fair Everything is in a ring and you
never get the least bit of Justice unless
you are In a ring yourself
You ought to know about that Ev
erybody has said for the longest time
you were the head rlngster Mrs Saw
yer interrupted pointedly Mrs Pease
gave her a withering glance but went
on as though she had not heard I do
hope the gentlemen are honester In
their part But hero In this hall
Well I dont want to name names
but truly I dont see how some people
ever have the conscience to go to
preachln after tho way they act
Oh you know mistakes will be
made Allan said soothingly Im
sure though If they are made they
are houest ones People see things so
differently you know
Yes and always their own way or
their friends Mrs Pease said acrid
ly Thats the sole and only reason
you see mo here Tho association did
rao the honor to appoint me a Judge
of patchwork
And me Mrs Sawyer added
Mrs Pease went on I ought to
know somethin about it I have got
Just 40 patch quilts Ave of em silk
that Ive made myself Ive made
every pattern I over saw In fact so
It stands to reason when I say the star
and feather is more trouble than the
basket of tulips nobody ought to dis
pute It
I dont dispute It All I say Is that
the tulip baskets the prettiest and the
newest and tho nicest made Mrs
Sawyer Interrupted If qulltmakln
counts I do reckon I could have ns
many as anybody only I lack tho face
to beg tho whole country for pieces
I could buy my pieces too if my
husbands storo sold whisky Mrs
Peaso began her face an apoplectic
scarlet Allan Interposed If you two
cant decide we all know nobody can
ho said diplomatically Tho thing to
do Is to give two premiums Instead of
one
No no both women cried In the
same breath You must come out and
Judge yourself Thats partly what a
president Is for
Correct ladles Taylor tho mar
shal said his eyes twinkling The by
laws Is explicit on Jest that very pInt
Mako Allan gp and pick tho winner
Im too much his friend to see him ruin
hlssolf right out
Oh lot mo tell you somethin Mr
McNeal Mrs Pease said Then lu n
raucous whisper My choice the star
and feather belongs to Miss Elvy
Ware and sho told mo yesterday she
had willed It to Nan because tho child
did think it was so pretty
Oh say I wish youd settle It with
out mo Double tho premiums Allan
said beads of sweat breaking out on
his face Taylor chuckled at sight of
them Mrs Sawyer pursed her mouth
and said loftily I might try to
once you Allan only I have some
principle about me Tho tulip basket
was mnde by Mrs John Groomc Shes
Nan Wares aunt too and has no
daughter of her own
And neither would have a premium
unless she got it over tother Taylor
said rubbing his hands and chuckling
ngaln Thats what 1 meant Allan I
cant see you sot all Miss Nans family
against you Youre bound to mako
one half of It mad But do your duty
like a white man and maybe tho good
Lordll have mercy on your courtln
Shut up Ill fling you outside If

you dont Allan said holding tho
door wide Now ladles come and
make up my mind for me And please
oe quicic niiout it i nave a uuuureu
other things to do
Man disposes but woman proposes
Most commonly It is to have her own
way Allan McNeal had a will and n
mind of his own but found himself
helpless In tho faco of the patchwork
feud It was nothing less It had be
gun in fact In that same Horticultural
hall ten years back Miss Elvy Waro
and Mrs John Groomc were not mere
ly Nan Wares aunts ststers respec
tively to her father and mother but
bitter rivals In notable housewifery
At the very Ilrst Clay county fair they
Bwept all before them In their own par
ticular lines but Mrs Groome got a
blue ribbon tho more It was for cut
flowers anil Miss Elvys roses did not
win even the red Naturally the fact
rankled It rankled so deeply Indeed
she was not pacllled by the offer of a
special rose premium next year She
won It of course but tho winning was
robbed of savor Mrs Groomc did not
mnke a separate rose display
So It had gone at every fair Now
one was ahead In tho matter of premi
ums now the other At this particular
fair both had outdone themselves with
tho result of winning a dozen blue rib
bons each There would have been
more but that old Sister Dempsey tho
committee on jelly and crystallized
fruits placidly ate up the Groome and
Ware entries saying sho did bellevo
In glvln somebody else the least little
smidgin of a chance So that 3 had
gone to an entirely new person a slim
dark eyed girl shy and strange who
came afoot with only a lad for com
pany Her people had bought less
than a year back a somewhat ramshac
kle farm lying a mile away Nobody
know much about them except that
they minded their own affairs paid
cash for the little they bought and
from tho looks of things about the
place were not In the least afraid of
work
Sister Dempsey had felt fully repaid
for her threatened Indigestion by sight
of tho girls eyes when sho got tho blue
ribbon They had brightened and sof
tened until they wore like misty stars
Then she had said something to the
boy at her elbow that made him stand
on tiptoe and stick his hands deep In
his pockets as though he had hard
work to keep from turning hand
springs and shouting aloud
It was Lees Idea you know our
bringing the things I should never
have had tho courage or tho hope
sho had explained with a blush to Sis
ter Dempsey Lee standing very
straight and looking ns though ho own
ed at least half the fair grounds had
added Why Ellie I knew wed get
premiums If this old show played fair
Didnt you mako all your things the
way Black Mammy taught you You
know she cooked for grandfather 50
years
Mrs Peaso and Mrs Sawyer had
heard nothing of all this They had
inE II AD SAID SOMEnilNO TO THE IJOV AT
nEIl ELI10W
given live minutes to a Judicial pro
tense of examining all the lots then
got down to tho business of serious
wrangling An hour of It had they
been men would have brought them
very near to blows Being women It
brought them Instead very nenr to
tears and tho appeal Jto Allan upon
which each had resolved before coming
into the hall
Allan was a fine fellow manly and
cool headed beyond his years brave
aud gallant as man might be yet ho
would cheerfully have given half ho
was worth to escape tho Judgment of
patchwork thus forced upon him It
is worse a hundred times than tho
Judgment of Paris he thought ns he
stood lingering tho gay finely stitched
fabrics scorning to listen deferentially
to expositions of their peculiar and
surpassing merits Novice that ho was
ho could uot tall to perceive the truth
of what his guides so vehemently as
sertednamely that there was noth
ing else on nil the long lines worthy to
be named as ngalnst the two In dispute
Beyond question both were beautifully
made There was not a long stitch
nor a botched turning In either Tho
quilling Indeed rose to tho tank of
high art and though one might ques
tion the harmony of orange feathers
surrounding n red star upon a ground
of ultramarine they were quite offset
by crimson aud purple tulips with fin
ger wide stems falling over a blue and
yellow basket to trail on a staring
white background
Even Sister Dempsey admitted that
her own rising sun was quite put out
of court by them As for the Irish
chains monuments even the extrava
gant silk crazy quilts everybody tin
derstood that they were exhibited sole
ly through public spirit to mako a
good showing with no hope whatever
of n premium Allan glanced despair
ingly over them To his confusion he
spied Nnn Just entering the hall laugh
ing nnd talking at a great rate with
his pet aversion Tim Bayllss Tim
was rich aud uot 111 looking but as
everybody agreed hadnt sense
enough to lead a goose to water Ev
erybody wild further It was a shamo
the way Nan Ware kept him dangling
after her when she had been as good as
engaged to Allan McNeal ever since
sho was out of short frocks
Here pin the bluo on the star and
feather Quick Before Nan comes 1
Mrs Pease commanded thrusting n
length of ribbon Into Allans hand
Mrs Sawyer snatched It away Oh
but dont those tulips hang down
gracefull sho said coaxlngly I do
hate n stiff thing Thats why I like
Nan so Sho couldnt be stiff No
not If she tried
Insidiously she slid another ribbon
a full yard of fluttering azure be-
VIIAT ITAS MY LITTLE DHOTIIER DOVEf
tween Allans fingers You have got
to decide It somehow she said very
low I know Nan thinks a heap the
most of her Aunt Groome
Excuse me I I must get out of
this Allan said desperately As ho
rushed toward tho door his eyes fell
full on Lee Lees coat was clean and
whole but whole through the most ex
quisite patching and darning Any
other lad roundabout would have re
fused to be seen In It Leo wore It ns
though proud of It Allan made three
steps to the boys side caught him by
the arm and drew him forward with
out a word Loes sister followed
amazement and concern struggling In
her face I wo what has my little
brother done she asked unsteadily
Allan gave her a comforting look took
Leo by the shoulders nnd set him
where all could see saying clearly
As It Is my prerogative to award tho
disputed premium for patchwork I
give It to this coat the most excellent
nnd the most eloquent specimen It has
ever boon my luck to see These oth
ers with a sweep of the arm toward
tho line mny be more ornamental
Tho declared purpose of this fair as
sociation Is to encourage thrift Indus
try and the useful nrts Mr Marshal
see that this premium Is paid nt once
nnd tills under his breath bo sure
it Is doubled
Oh you nienn thing Nan cried
flitting past him I believe I shall
never speak to you again
Allan did not answer no was busy
pinning the long blue ribbon on Leos
left shoulder Even If he heard It did
not break his henrt Ho married Elllo
Floyd Lees pretty dnrk eyed sister
long before the next fair came round
