PRESIDENT Taft
VISITS JACKSON.
Monday Was One Of Our Capitals
Busy Days.

For the first time in her history the
pleasure Of entertaining a president OF
the United States.
Naturally, jackson is proud of the
distinction Of having had President
Taft as it's guest for an entire day and
far into the night.
The President arrived in the city dur
ing the early morning hours and re-
manned till after midnight, during
which several hours he was shown the
greatest possible consideration at the
hands of the people of the town and
State.
The welcome that was accorded the
distinguished visitor was as cordial and
as sincere as he eve had anywhere in
his life. No town or city in his own be-
loved Ohio could have been more hos
pitable. h President was given to
understand that the latchstring here
tofore hung IN the outside of every
Southern hon had been torn from it's
fastenings and the doors AXE clear of
the hinges.
The day was the very biggest in the
history of the city of Jackson, the Cap
ital Of the State OF Mississippi. The
weather was as if made to order, and
there we're more people here than yer
before-three or four times as mary
and every one of them considered him
or herself the special host of the dis
tinguished guest, and did everything in
their power to show and to prove to
him that he was more thar welcome to
the very best there was in the land.
President Taft proved himself worthy
Of the honors and the compliments that
we're showered upon him. He is every
inch a man, and above all a typical
American-liberal-minded, broad guag-
ed, generous, jovial, jolly. His face was
wreathed in smiles faom the time he
landed in Jackson till he took his de-
parture. The day was q very trying
one, but he went through and carried
out his part of the program to the en-
tire satisfaction of his host snd to the
credit of the great nation Of which he
is the head.
Three separate and distinct speeches
are accredited to the President during
his all too short stay in the city Of
~Jackson-aH breathing the spirit Of pa
triotism, of brotherly love and of gem
erosity towards the South.
The many thousands who heard these
several addresses, all short and to the
point, are satisfied that the President
Of the United States is the President
of Mississippi as well as of Ohio or
Maine, and that he is determined to do
all in his power to make the South q
more powerful factor in shaping the
destinies of the Nation. They appre-

 "Neenah! sasped Genevra, with a startled look. Neenah looked intently into the unsteady, blue gray eyes and then bent over to kiss the hand of the princess. The lattef laughed almost aloud in her confusion. She caught herself up quickly and said with some asperity: You foolish child, I am to become a princess wife. How can love your sahib? What nonsense! I am to marry a prince, and he is not to pay for me in rubies."

 ''Then there is no way to keep them out of the chateau?" cried Genevra anxiously.
 '"They can go no farther than this room,p explained Selim. We lock the double iron doors from the other side the door through which you came, most glorious excellency-and they cannot enter the cellars above. This is the chamber which opens into the underground passage to the coast The passage was made for escape from the chateau in case of trouble and was servant of Sahib Wyckholme, and I used to live in the chateau.
 "Once there was, boat, a launch, which lay hidden below the cliffs on the north coast. The passage led to this boat. It was always ready to put out to sea. But one night it was de- stroyed by the great rocks which fell from the cliffs in an earthquake. When came here I at once thought of the passage. You will see that the doors into the cellar cannot be opened from this chamber. The locks and bolts are on the other side. I knew where the keys were hidden. It was easy to unlock the doors and come into this room. I found that some one had been here before me. The door to the passage had been forced open from without, cracked by dynamite. Many of the treasure boxes have been re- moved. Won Blitz was here not an hour ago. He wears boots. I saw the footprints among the naked ones in the passage. They will come back for the other chests. Then they will blow up the passageway W1tA powder, and escape from the chateau through it will be cut off. I have found the kegs of powder in the passage and have de- stroyed the fuses. It will be of no avail, sahib They will blow it up at the other end, which will be just the same"
 ''There's no time to be lost" cried Chase we must bring enough men down here to capture them when they return-shoot 'em if necessary. Come oni We can surprise them if we hurry"
 They were starting across the cham Der toward the door when a gruff, se pulchral oath came rolling up to the chamber through the secret passage Quick as flash Selin, who realized that they could not reach and open the door leading to the stairs. turned in among the huge wine casks, first blinding his lantern. He whispered for the others to follow In mo- ment they were squeezing themselves through the narrow spaces between the dark, strong smelling casks, back into a darkness so opaque that it seemed lifeless.
 ''They won't suspect that we are here," whispered Selim ss the door to the passage creaked. ~Keep quiet! Don't .breathew
 The single electric light was still burning as Selim had found it when he first came. The door swung open slowly, heavily, and Jacob von Blitz, mud covered, reeking with perspira- tion and panting savagely, stepped into the light. Behind him came a man with a lantern and behind him two others.
 They were white men, all Won Blitz turned suddenly and cursed the man with the lantern. The fellow was ready to drop with exhaustion. Evi- dently it had been no easy task to remove the chests.

Jacob uon Btats stepped into the light. Chase for lover all your life! Ahr' The exclamation was no less than a sigh of rapturous indorsement.
 The princess stared at her first in consternation, then in dismay. Before she could find words to combat this alarming prophecy, so ingeniously pre- scented to her reflections, Selim and Hollingsworth Chase returned to the chamber. She was distressed, even confounded, to find that she was star ing at Chase with a strange, abashed curiosity growing in her eyes-a stare that she suddenly was afraid he might observe and appreciate. A wave of revulsion, of shame, spread over her whole being.
 With the swiftness of lightning she recalled the things that had been said of more than one grand dame in Eu- rope-aye, of women at her own court. Even a princess she had known who but for shame! she cried in her heart. It could not be. Despite herself a cruel, distressing shyness came over her as he approached, his eyes glowing with the light she feared, yet craved. Was this man to remain in her life? Was hes Would he come to her and wage the unfair war? Was he honest? Was he even now coveting her as other men had coveted the women she knew and despised? She found herself confronted by the shocking conviction that he knep she could never be his wife. He knet0 she was to wed an- other, and yet, 1t was unbelievable.
 She met his eager advance with quick, shrill laugh of defiance and noted the surprise in his eyes. Dim as the light was, she could have sworn that the look in those eyes was hon. est. Ah, that silly Neenah! The re- action was as sudden as the revolt had been. Her smile grew warm and shy.
 Won Blitz has been here,' he was saying half diffidently. still searching deep in her eyes. He's played hob. And he's likely to return at any min ute''

 MT. Chaser he said, with his win hing smile. ''Now?"
 "Yes, now and always MT. Chase" she said steadily. You know that it cannot be otherwise. I can't always be fool''
 His face turned deep red; his lips parted for retort to this truculent es- timate, but he controlled himself:
 ''Yes, it is dangerous here" he said quietly, answering her question. "As soon as Selim bars that door upon the inside we'll go. I was fool to bring you here-'
 How could you know what the dan gers would be?' she asked. 'Fn confess I didn't expect Won Blitz," he said dryly.
 But you did expect''- she began, with a start, biting her lips. There's vast difference between expectation and hope, princess" Nee nah had joined Selim at the door when the men re-entered the chamber. Now she was approaching with her hus- band
 May Allah bless you and profit fo1 himself, excellencies," said the good Selim. Neenah plainly had advanced her suspicious to the brown body serv- ant. Genevra blushed, and then her ~r~s blazed. She gave the girl a scornful look. Neenah smiled happily, unreservedly, in return.
