Ntwbani Journal. :' ' It is generally believed by the fair man agement, for a variety of plausible rea sons, that the racing events at the next fair will be more interesting and exciting than ever before. One reason why this opinion holds is that the fair will be held at a time when quite a number of race meets will occur in the State, one after another, so that the horses that usually race la worth Carolina win be in trim and their owners count the East Carolina fair as one of the many events necessary to attend. Indeed there are unmistak able evidences tnat tne racing tnts year will be memorable. .' Has it ever occurred to yon that as an educational institution our fairs are of great benefit not only to you, but to your children? It instructs, entertains, amuses and edifies tbem more than yon would think. Every field is covered by the exhibits art, nature and industry An object lesson of man's ingenuity and the bountiful goodness of nature is set forth so broadly and roundly that a child's vision of the possibilities of life is made clear, and great moral influences are felt that can be but of inestimable value to the child. Every child should attend the fair, and every parent ought to take great pains to interest the child in all the wonderful sights that are pre sented, from the balloon ascensions and other feats of daring to the stock parade and the ripened yellow ear of corn. It will be a piece of good news to . the children to learn that the everlasting merry-go-round will this year disport it self as of yore.. Our old friends the grif fin, the unicorn and the . hump-backed camel, will again prove havens of rest to the weary and heavy laden for five cents per weary.. The ethereal beauties of the lusty lunged organ, attached to this joy giving apparatus will again be bellowed forth and peace and sweet content will reign within the wide eone which absorbs the soul-striving melody of "Mama Buy Me That" and similar airs. One fact which it is proposed to advertise exten sively is that deafness is no bar to the enjoyment of this wonderful musical wr strument. But, . seriously ; ! speaking, wouldJt not seem that ome .very dear old friend were passed away should "we visit the fair and find the merry-go-round with its merry-making population not in the accustomed place? As a matter of fact, its rheumatic tossings and gyra tions and the blatant notes of the wheezy organ, supply a feature which would be more sadly conspicuous if absent. Mr. Ol L. Clark, of Bladen county, got first prize of f 50 for bright wrapper tobacco at Danville, Va., carnival last week.

She is John Redmond's cousin, you snow, and a sweeter little woman nev er'-v'y,: "Thank you," I said, checking Jack's enthusiasm. I Jack always goes oft , on a .tangent when a pretty woman is dis cussed. T am trying to get patients and nave no time for social pleasures, and. besides, I don't mind saying it, Jack, I'm, not zona or widows. " . , "All I have to say to that is," said Jack, "you don't know Mrs. Trains" However, my professional duties were not. so arduous that ! did hot find time to notice & trim little figure that flitted in and out through the big entrance door, dressed always exquisitely,' but quietly, A daintier little rosebud of a woman it would have been hard to. find. Soft, brown hair, tossedin' truant curls about the low forehead, a. voice "that "spoke al ways gently y blue eyes full, of mirth and a complexion that looked like it had been bathed in the morning dew. ' , Once or twice I had held the big door open for her to pass out and bowed in response to the low 'Thank you." Early after my coming to the building aoy on the top floor had been accommodating enough to get hurt in the elevator, and I had been called in as the most available physician. Luckily X brought the boy through so well that his parents, as well as the youngster himself, sounded my praises so loudly that I found myself with quite a reputation and incidentally a practice in the neighborhoods StUl I had not met Mrs. Traine. and I . was bee in ning wickedly to hope some accident ever so slight a one, of course misrht happen to her a sprained ankle or wrist that I might have the joy of caring for. However, the fates preserved a Mrs. Traine from accident, and I continued to watch for glimpses of her from my office Window. , :: y ' A ' :' V v-f :X V' fit 1 had bowed the fast patient out for the" evening and - Settled - mysefT' for a smoke, before bedtime. My meditations. mingling with . the blue curling smoke, Were interrupted by a piercing scream. and then another. I rushed into the hall. The screams came from the Traine apart ment above.. In another moment I was knocking on the door, which was opened by Mrs. Traine herself, white and breath less. "Oh," she gasped, catching hold of my arm, "we've got him out there in the pantry poor mamma" Who?" I asked. The burglar. "He "was hid in the din ing room mamma saw him, and he ran into the pantry, and I locked the door and he's trying to jump out of the win dow." I heard a noise fcs of some one trying sit to pusu up a window, and, opening the pantry door, there he was, a sure enough burglar,, evil browed and sullen, who dropped the window and turned to face me. ' , - "You can't make a jump from that win dow, my man," I said. "You had better be quiet." : I turned the lock acnin. bnt Mrs. Traine.'divining my purpose, clung to my arm, "Don't go!" she said frantically. "We can't stay here alone a minute." Then to my relief that same small boy, who had served me so well professionally, appear ed on the threshold, attracted by - the cries. Off he-went to call the police, while I tried to quiet two hysterical wo men. " ' . In a few - minutes the - burglar was handcuffed and led away, but the shock had proved too much for Mrs. Traine's invalid mother. The fainting spell was followed by delirium, and her daughter and t watched by her bedside until morn ing. ' Of course I was Installed as attending physician and never failed to call morn ing and evening. When the patient was able to sit un. I sometimes rend aloud to her as an excuse to remain lonprer watch Ing the daughter at Some household task. One evening 1 staid for tea. f Mrs, Traine wore a dainty gown of white and blue with a great deal of lace. There is no sight so welcome to tt bachelor as pretty woman at the head of a tea table. The next morning I pictured the pretty widow sitting opposite me at my break fast table wearing the pretty house jack et I bad seen on my morning calls. That afternoon I took Mrs. Traine and her mother for a drive and was reward' ed by another invitation to tea. A. reason for such close attention: to my patient was no longer apparent. was hunting about In my mind for an ether excuse- to prolong my delightful calls when Mrs. Traine" knocked at my door one evening. ,-v : "7:: .' I have come to see yon on business,' she said, taking the seat I offered her. "Ton have been very kind to mother," she went on. Of course we want to pay ysn for your trouble. Would you mind telling me, please, how much the amount IerV,.::-..,.-v:V'Yi:Y;-; f 'VA '. " I saw the anxious look growing deeper In ; the sweet face opposite me. How much denial and privation paying a doc tor's bill meant to that little woman, al ready burdened with responsibility J.-, "It. mast be a large bill," she said at last as I remained silent, watching her. "You you have made so many calls. . "Yes; it is a large bill," I said slowly. There was a quick uplifting of the blue eyes, "I hope," she said softly, "that yon won't mind if we don't pay it quite all at once. If I can arrange to pay you so much every week until the bill is set tled."- ' A - "No," I said in businesslike tones; "I should prefer to have the whole bill set tled for at once." t ; ; My heart smote me for the alarm in the face that was lifted to mine. I leaned forward and took her hand. 'Do you want to know how much the bill will be? Well, it's a great deal. Nothing less than the giving f your own self to me, my darling, will satisfy my claim against you." Y "You mean" 'said Mrs. Traine, the i blushes suffusing her pale face. . "That I want you to be my .wife.' saw, drawing uer bead down upon my shoulder, "is the price too great?" Chicago Tribune.
