haps, the l;l:;y would not trust her own
voice just then. His eyes had fallen
again. He was too daZed and, in truth,
TOO panic stricken now to look at her,
though if he had been quite sure that
she was part of wonderful dream he
might have dared. She was seated be-
side him. and had handed him her par
asol in a little way which seemed to
imply that of course he had reached for
it, so that it was to be seen how use,j
she was to have all tiny things done
for her, though this was not then of his
tremulous observing. He did perceive,
however, that he was to furl the dainty
thing. he pressed the catch and let
down the top timidly, as if fearing to
break or tear it, and as it closed, held
near his face, he caught a very faint,

throat, the sudden fright which had
Selzed him, were not caused by en-

she was one he had known, but could
not for the moment recall. There was

"Ah, I'm glad you're the same, Joev'
she said. "You never would or could
pretend very we'll. I'm glad you're the
same, and I'm glad I've changed,
though that isn't why you have for

cause you never thought Of me. Per-

"Ah," she laughed, "that's it! That

"All right" he gulped. 'I'll try"
Mr.. Bantry had come down to the
gate and was holding it open, his eyes
fixed upon Ariel, within them a rising

FINE CONSTRUCTION TIMBER.

Morrow-Thomas Building Using Re.
markedly Clear, Heavy Lumber.
Unquestionably the finest lot Of
lumber ever brought to the Panhan-
die is that being used in the con.
struction of the Morrow-Thomas
bulldogs on Polk and Tyler streets
The nature Of the construction for
the buildings which are 10 support

1t absolutely necessary that every
timber be perfect and be of great
strength, In order to secure timber

has all been sawed to order and

Of long leaf yellow pine. The or

contracts ever executed by the mills
and on account of the necessity for
selecting every piece, the saving Of
the order has taken much longer
time than either the mills or the
builders anticipated
Today the workmen are unloading
several carloads OF stills and floor
timbers for the Polk street building.
The stills for the floors are of S112,

ly free from knots or blemishes OF
any kind.
Brick work commenced yesterday
on the inside walls for the Polk street
or retail building and is going rap
idly forward. The Tyler street ware
house has been completed to the
height OF many two story buildings
now but is only ready for the floor
josts for the second floor and the
outside walls are to go up nine feet
further, The first floor above the
high basement is practically two
floors on account of the deck that
runs around the entire interior.
Shortage of floor joists for the sec
ond floor is holding up construction
on the warehouse but these timbers
have been shipped and the delay will
cause no real loss of time because
the brick masons have been trans
ferred TO the Polk street building un-
til the shipment arrives.

fair at Dalhart on September IS, 10
and 90 1--WE intend that the fair
shall exhibit the best and most COM
plete display OF the actual products
of the north plains counties that can
be got together. We are not trying
any big state fair proposition but
people from the north end East will
be surprised as they have been before
to see what can be done with a coun-
ty fair.
1--WE work to secure the active In
terested cooperation OF all the coun-
ties north of the Canadian and have
arranged a prize liot so as to give
handsome awards for the hest show
ing in all agricultural lines. Cattle.
sheep, hogs, horses and poultry all
get special attention. Field products
are of course a big feature Then
garden and orchard products, home
kandlwork, preserves, oaking, manu-
features and such products are re-
membered on the prize list,
For the races, we have purses
which will aggregate $4,000 and we
expect to have some very good offer
ings on the race card. We expect to
have some show companies to help
plong with the entertainment and are
planning a big "old fiddlers con-
test" There will be barbecue on two
days and there will be free water
melons and cantaloupee all the time
for everybody. Blair Park, which
Is new Dalhart enterprise, now
has several Buffalo from :he Good

Another thing TO which the COM
mittees are devoting special atten-
ton, is to insuring that there will be
no graft in hotel charges or other
charges for accommodations. Many
a good enterprise OF this kind is Sc
riously injured bv a little hold-up
business practiced on the visitors and
we are determined that nothing Of
this kind will mar the gooi effect OF
the fair. We want all the visitors
to enjoy themselves and to learn all
they can about actual results in the
Panhandle and we are determined
that their attention shall not be de
verted by some little imposition"
