At meeting this afternoon, the di-
rectors Of the State Fair decided to
continue the entire fair another week,
extending the closing date from Feb

This action was taken at the request
'of the railroads, who pointed out to
the Fair Association that, owing to the
extreme cold weather in the North, the
tourists are just beginning to come
South in large numbers and that the
State Fair should derive the benefit of
the presence Of these visitors at the
fair.
All the races, shows, etc, will con-
,inue until February %, except the
Hippodrome. which will close next
Tuesday night, instead Of tomorrow
night.
Chesp Rates Will Continue
The railroads Immediately complied
with the decision Of the directors b.
announcing an extension of the cheap
rate tickets to Tampa on account of
The fair. Travelling Passenger Agent
Oakley, Of the Seaboard, announces
that all tickets will be extended from
February "a, the original limit, to
March 2. and two days sale from
points in Florida to Tampa and re-
turn will be observed next week
Tuesday and Thursday.
The next week of the fair ought to
be the greatest yet.

Interest in the Vermont campaign
grew rapidly toward its close. The
apathy of the earlier weeks gave way
to real awakening. Chairman
Williams put a lot of Intelligent hard
work into the canvass, carrying it on
in businesslike way that counted.
Candidate Prouty helped his cause ma
terially by his frank talks on the
stump, and his defeated rival, Zed S.
Stanton, pulled a laboring oar in be-
half of the ticket. The out of-state
speakers, though not numerous, did
their part, but home orators had to
supply most of the calls. Newspaper
advertising, correspondence and pam

in getting out the vote. One cannot
point to many errors Of omission or
commission. On the whole, the cam

STATE NEWS
Extend the Deer Season.


ommend in his annual report to the
legislature that the open season for
killing deer should be extended from
six days to two weeks or fifteen days.
He has reached the conviction from
the fact that there are so many deer
in Vermont at the present time that
the state is paying money for the dam
age done by them. The extension Of
the season may not result in the killing
of many more deer, since hunters will
not all rush into the woods at once,
which is the case where they have
only six days in which to hunt. The
greater danger to life comes in the two
or three days, because the hunters are
'deer mad" and will shoot az any,
thing that makes noise.
Sensations at State Fair

| The achievement of a year ago came
to the attention of the bureau of ami
NAL industry at Washington, D. c., and
this year when the dates of the fair
were made known President Roosevelt
instructed G. Arthur Bell, assistant
animal husbandman of the bureau, to
attend, especially for the purpose of
observing the large exhibit Of Morgan
horses to be made there. In this con-
nection it may be said that the Morgan
horse exhibit to be made at the YER
mont state fair at White River ] unc-
ton, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

CHAPTER XXI.
His Maiesty's Visit.

In the heart of the woods, u%ntrodden
before by man, the sound of the ham
mer awoke the German emperor after
his hours Of anxious study. BY choice
he had declined to sleep in the radio
plane, and rolled himself in his blan-
kets on an open spot of turf. The cares
of the day were upon him again with
all their pe%rplexities. The sun had not
risen, and the cool breath of the morn
ing came to his lungs with invigorat-
ing freshness, while a bird of the far
north swas beginning a thin piping to
its mate, and a camp robber, brilliant
ly impertinent, hoped round his
woodland couch and gazed u%nabashed
at royalty.
He threw aside the blankets which
had been tightly rolled round him,
walked to the brook, whose song had
lulled him in his dreams Of the night,
and bathed his hands and face in the
Icy water. A great trout, disturbed.
by the intrusion. sped swiftly away
from a rock and disappeared in Q
dark pool with a final sweep Of its
tail. The emperor dried his face on
his handkerchief and walked slowly
across the glade to the Norma, which
he entered c%uriously.
There they all were as on the night
before, tired, work-worn and anxious,
the chancellor still with his sleeves
rolled up. the real admiral stripped to
his undershirt and the engineer peer
ing through his glasses at the tangles
OF wire. On the night before the
kaiser had stormed and threatened,
had mumbled angry soliloquies, and
sworn mighty oaths to the unheeding
woods. Now at the sight Of these
faces before him he understood to the
full that these. his hosts, must have
,labored throughout the night trying
to undo the accident which perhaps his
own hands had wrought. It softened
his mood.
They saluted him, and Brockton rose
stifiy to his feet, wiped his hands On
Ills trousers. and repaired to the rear
ssof the radioplane, from which he
apologetically returned with breakfast
for his guest. The emperor ate with
! appetite which was made keen by
the balsamy night air In which he had
slept. and then began wishing that
Ne, too. might take part in this manual
toll. Almost involuntarily he assisted
the fat old chancellor, who was Hpry-

because in the meantime the Chinese
armada might have sailed. In case 1t
had not, the secret would be given out
and search begun actively for the
missing Norma and her distinguished
passengers; but in any event British
support would have been assured.
Bevins, foreseeing the difficulty Of
his task, asked and obtained permits
sion to invite the British admiral to
accompany him, the wisdom OF which
was evidenced. Favored by the diff
ference in time, the speedy Roberts
on that very night crossed the Allan
tic and deposited letters to secret
service agents in London, instructing
them to obtain positive knowledge of
where the king might be found the
following evening. On her return she
conveyed Fields and the Dreadnought
to the key, preparatory to the mo-
mentous journey.
That flight which was again to dis
turb the thrones of Europe was &C.
complished without incident, but not
without difficulty. The Roberts
swooped down from the heights Of
air, untenanted save by her, to find
spread between the earth and sky a
blanket of fog, thick and impene-
trable. Into 1t she slowly dropped.
cropping this way and that over the I'M
suspecting city, whose sounds came
up to her but gave no hint as to
locality. Aimlessly she wandered here
and there In the murk, taking desper-
ate chances in her quest. Suddenly
something doomed directly below the
open port, from which Bevins was
leaning and peering down, and only a
quick change of course avoided a col
lision. Fields Joined him, and iden-
titled the dome of Saint Paul's. 1t
was a narrow escape, but enabled
them to set their course and gain the
deserted greens OF Saint James Park,
where Bevins was lowered by ropes
to the earth.
He stood for a moment while the
bulk of the r%adioplane and the Dread
nought which she was carrying rose
into the air and disappeared from
view. He felt alone in an unfriendly
city, but set his teeth and stumbled
out to a street, where he enlisted the
services of a constable and a hanson,
and was conveyed to the Cecil, whose
lighted doors stared out upon the fog
washed courtyard leading from the
Strand. His message of the previous
night had met with instant response,
and no one would have suspected that
the two men who lounged in the hotel
entrance in seeming idle conversation,
smoking and watching passersby, were
important agents in the hands Of fate.
AS nonchalantly as they had met they
parted, one returning within doors.
and the other sauntering back to the
waiting hanson which was to convey
the admiral to the hippodrome and a
daring audience with the king.
The fog deadened bells of the an
cient city marked only an hours time
before he had emerged and returned
to the park entrance, where the won
dering driver was dismissed, shaking
his head and marveling at the idiosyn-
crasies of the Americans, who seemed
never to have a reasonable destination.
Once more the grim old admiral
limped through the paths to his rem
devious and gave the whistled signal

and entered into this with the en-
thusiasm Of a boy. He would have
driven her through the air at q speed
which would have heated her interior
had he not been cautioned, and re-
linquished his place in the hood only
when the shores of the western con-
tinent were reached and doomed dark
ly far below.
It had not been Brockton's intention
to show him owe the plant on the
key; but the sovereign insisted that
he permitted to alight, 1t being his
first visit to America, which he had
always longed to make, but had never
anticipated. He was permitted to
traverse the great machine shops and
view the working Of the blast furnace.
and also to gaze at the formidable feet
Of monsters that rested idly along the
beach. Mufled in his great coat to-
avoid recognition, he al strictly In
cognito, and met neither the inven-
tor, "the assistant" o Bevins, who
many hours before had retired to their
rest.
His mood of curiosity had given
way to one of thoughtfulness when the
Norma again took him aboard and
started northward. He sat silently in
the central chamber Of the radioplane,
taking no part in the conversation be-
tween the chancellor and Brockton,
until the machine lowered yer the
waters of the Chesapeake, on the
bosom of which, at anchor, rested the
British fleet, and then discussed the
possibilities Of crossing the continent
to Lake Washington.
Brockton was compelled to enter a
protest, explaining that inasmuch as
the element of time for his return
must, enter into their calculations,
they had only a small margin. The
kaiser remembered that he was in a
machine which annihilated space; but
that in travelling from the west to the
east the difference in the rising hour
of the sun meant much in maintaining
secrecy; SO he reluctantly relinquished
the idea.
But it will not trouble you, will 1t,
to carry me across the Gordon which
has been established between your
country and Canada on the homeward
fight?' he asked, and to this Brock
ton assented.
They turned to the north, and at a
high altitude saw far below them the
constant glow of searchlights dotting
out in streamers of white the bound

fas as the eye could reach to the east
and the west the watch vas being
maintained increasingly. The kaiser
recovered his good humor. laughed,
and then, having nothing more to view
below, returned to the hood, where he
again asked to manipulate the ma
chine.
Jenkins was not pleased by the
recklessness with which his august
guest experimental with the levers

strate, though uttering an occasional
word Of caution. Suddenly, as If CON
fused, the kaiser opened three
switches at once. The machine gave
q mighty lurch, and failed to obey the
expert hand that was instantly reached
