Fremont have taken over the Warren Craig filling station. The following croquet fans of Findlay played with the Bettsville boys on the George Voorhies croquet court Monday night of last used look. The handsome silver tea service, the samovar, which gled with her desire to aleep longer and reached her hand out for Mark's card which had lain the night on the corner of her bed. She hadn't dreamed it; the card was there. For a few minutes she debated about the possibilities of a bath, knew it to be futile and resigned herself to the sponge and basin affair that was the most difficult thing about living in Paris.

She gave as much attention to her ablutions as though she were going on physical exhibition instead of merely to meet the Countess Anetka Illovitch. Her wardrobe scant but smart came in for expert scrutiny. She abandoned the tempting idea of wearing her smart black crepe with a double strand of pearls. Black and pearls constituted the uniform of the smart Parisienne and Anetka would know she was merely a copyist if she wore them. She brushed her copper hair until it shone, curling each fat curl around her finger in the fashion of the moment Then she selected a navy blue sheer crepe with smart pique collar and wide cuffs.

She buffed her blue kid shoes until they, too, had a shining quality. Then she adjusted the small toque made of the same fabric as her frock. White gauntlet gloves pf doeskin and a small, neat purse 0 completed the ensemble. She looked young, crisp, alert and confident. It was scarcely 8 when she went out.

She couldn't call at the shop so early in the morning, neither jweek: Merle Wood.

Warner and John Gallagher of Pennock, and William Marsh of Cleveland were visitors at the Bronner home Thursday of last week. George Geyer and friends of Fremont visited his aunt, Mrs. Lihhie icons, the bronze vases; the hassocks to trip over; the untidy desk in the corner; the wall that was a mirror. At the back of the draperies she heard high, excited voices, chattering in a mixture of French and Russian. That was, she supposed, the workroom, and she would have given her pet clip to have had an immediate look at it.

The draperies parted abruptly and the most petite blond Mary had ever seen stood there smiling at her. Mary's first impression stove. The tempting aroma of her stew carried to Mary's sensitive nostrils, warning her that the hour for lunch' was approaching. She smiled at the little scene, to which no one else appeared to pay any attention, and hurried on. At first when she found the number 21, she was afraid that she had come to the wrong address.

This shabby stone house couldn't be the proper place! A small card in the door told her that it was. (9r RZiSfi'iJk PUTTING POWER TO WORK THE FARM FOR many years trie line crews of this Company have been engaged in extending electric service into rural areas wherever there was sound business justification for these extensions. Today, if you were to follow our poles and wires over county roads and counl ry lanes you would traverse 2,455 miles of line and pass the homes of 20,463 satisfied users of our electric service. More and more the tarmer is turning toward electricity to assist Mrril in the profitable operation of his farm. For example, by installing an ric miik cooler the dairyman keeps down the bacterial count and secures higher prices for his milk.

We offer rural folks a service as excellent as that enjoyed by city dws'brs, backed by 50 years' experience in the power business. Ours is not "amateur service" it is electric service upon which the farmer mav depend. Electric rates to rural customers are the same as those paid by customers in the largest communities we serve. Tha only difference is that the farmer agrees to take a minimum amount of electricity. Our city customers will commend this policy of low rates for farmers realizing that an efficient, prosperous countryside is the surest guarantee of busy industry and prosperity in the cities.

EXPOSITION VISITOR Take it from those who have tramped the countless acres you can't really see the gigantic Great Lakes Exposition in one day! Wise it is, then, to plan your stay in Cleveland for several days. Wise, too, to stay at the Statler, where Erposition-goeri find comfortable, airy rooms and meals fit for a king, at no great expense. The Statler is only a lew minutes from the Exposition. Make it your home in Cleveland. Another tip (ingle rooms begin at $2.50.

HOWARD F. 0U6AN, MANAGER HOTEL STATLER CLEVELAND was of wide, very blue eyes, a homely face made beautiful by a warm smile, under a head of fluffy, unmanageable blond hair. "You are Marie Barr-ay?" Mary said, she was and found her hand clasped firmly by the countess. She started to say that Mark had sent her, that Mark had "Yes yes I know," the countess interrupted. "You have experience, yes?" After that Mary found it easy to talk.

She could sew, cut, press, make muslin patterns, sketch It was the sketches that inter-rested Anetka most. She demanded to see them, exclaimed delightedly over them and won Mary's heart at once. She needed a designer, she said, but she could not afford to pay enough for such things as Mary had. She could afford only what do you say in English? 25 dol-laire? Mary tried not to look as overwhelmed aa she felt. "Twenty-five dollar was ample," she said, and with a flash of insight managed to make Anetka understand that one day, if she should prove herself valuable, they might make other arrangements.

After that they shook hands solemnly and had tea. It was only a few minutes before lunch but tea was called for. And tea, flavored with triumph and high anticipation, Mary found to be nectar. She had a job and $25 a week which was a fortune the way she was living! After she had gone, Anetka looked at her pad at the note Mark bad sent her. "I'll put up 25 a week," he had written.

(To Bo Continued) could she wait until a later hour to fare forth on her adventure. The early morning air was an elixir. Paris in the early morning is made up of diamonds and champagne and colors from a celestial paintbrush. Mary found a tiny restaurant with its inevitable sidewalk tables, ordered chocolate and brioche and drank the early morning in. The waiter brought her a Paris Herald but she had no eyes for it Things were happening to her.

What happened to the rest of the world was unreal. The world around her was waking up quickly. The morning began to pass more rapidly. Mary got up from her small table, paid her bill and set out, reluctant not 'to prolong her anticipation. She had to cross from the Right Bank to the St Germain district She took the Metro.

She had I never been in that part of Paris and it was a still newer world to her. It was still early in the morning and she walked slowly, peering at new sights, lingering before the windows of the quaint shops, pausing for conversation with doll-like children in a public square. It was 11 o'clock when she appeared in the street where the countess' shop was located. Mary felt her throat grow dry, con- stricted. Her heart beat a faster tempo with anticipation mingled with apprehension.

If the countess didn't want her A street scene caught her eye, mads her forget her apprehension for a moment, and made her smile with enjoyment i It was a scene of such aplomb, Climbing the narrow stairs, she remembered that Kate had told her the night before: There are hundreds of small shops like your countess'. They come and go and no one even wonders where. Remembering, she straightened her shoulders and reminded herself that there was no reason why this one should. Mark knew about it and Mark had said that the countess had a small clientele. That was all that Mary asked for.

Besides, Paris wasn't like New Tork where you had to put on a successful front Why she'd been hearing about the little shops of Paris ever since she could remember! Every step up along that narrow, dingy stairway, Mary had a fresh reassurance for herself. And every step she forced her hopes a little higher. She even dared to hope that she was needed. Her hopes took another sickening dive when the door opened in response to her knock and she was admitted to what she wasn't quite sure at first was the showroom. A small, rabbitlsh creature admitted her, bowed in a funny little Gaelic curtsy and murmured that 'Madame, la Comtesse', was arriving immediately.

Mary smiled, thanked her and sat down gingerly on the edge of a plush chair from which she had to remove a bolt of dusty brocade. Then she took stock of the room. Her first impression was of the dust that literally covered it Then she saw all the things that crowded it The draperies, the bolts of fabric which had an un N' 1 Jj rift I fe i 'a- if? i ''M' Srv.
