had gone to town for couple of days with
Nina Zabriska; besides, he had had notes
left for him before. But there was Mason's
account of the evening and of the morn

in the long gallery, of the sandwiches and
the old brown, of the departure Of the
ladies at o'clock. Mason was convinced
that something was up; knowing Mr.. Harry

have been a CONFUSION indeed, he declared
as ruefully and tenderly he gathered the
fragments.
Quite off his balance, and forgetful Of
per1ls, he ordered the pony chaise and had
himself driven into Blentmouth. He felt
that he must tell somebody, and borrow
some conclusions. He was not equal to
making any Of his own. He must carry
the news.
He deceived himself and did gross in1us-

THE FORESTRY EXHIBIT.
Government VIII Make n Splendid
Display at Pan-American.

Display at Pan-American.
The United States Government For
estry exhibit at the Pan-American Ex-
position will form a division of the
important display to be made by the
Department OF Agriculture. 1t Will
consist mainly of a Photographic dis
play illustrating the relation Of agri-
culture TO forestry, supplemented by
maps and sections Of commercial tim
Der trees from the Appalachian Noun
tain region.
The Photographic display will EN-
body sixty framed bromide prints en-
larged from photographs, together with
twenty colored and uncolored trans
parencies.
The bromide pictures range in size
from sixteen by twenty-four to twenty
four by thirty inches, and the transpar-
encies are from three by four to six by
ten feet.
The subjects to be illustrated by bro
mides and transparencies comprise
briefly the various methods of lumber
ing, their effects ON forest production
and on the adjacent agricultural lands.
The effects of forest fires on the forest
land and the relation Of such denuda-
ton to the flow of water I'm streams

tective forests on watersheds for the
conservation of water important TO adj

the illustration Of individual trees of
tine mammoth Bigtree, the Giant Red

is interesting TO state in this connection
that these transparencies are the lar
gest ever made. Typical agricultural
valley lands In the East and West will
be illustrated on the same scale, show
ing the special protective agencies of
natural adjacent mountain forests ant
planted shelter belts of forest trees.
The region and the subject from which
these illustrations were taken are rep
resentative Of the principal agricultur-
al and forest sections OF the United
States.
Fourteen colored maps of the United
States will show the distribution OF the
principal forest types and species. the
distribution Of rainfall in relation to

Nineteen large slabs, four feet high
and six inches thick, with bark at

will be under the immediate super

Of the Division. He is a graduate OF
