"There-through that door!" she

The slowly ascending steps were
half way up the stairs. Nathaniel hes

fore there had passed through that
door. one who carried with her the
odor Of lilac and his heart leaped to
its own conclusion who that person
was. He had heard the rustic of the
girls skirt. He had seen the last
inch of the door close as Strang's wife
pulled it after her. And now he was
implored to follow! He sprang for
ward as the heavy steps neared the
landing. His hand was upon the latch

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY ls LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark II az
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation Of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with q
great international Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance SO great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucational movement. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
ton who can secure its educational
advantages. this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center Of population in the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,00O
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,00
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 2O,OOO,OOO. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a COM
bined population of just 100000.
The average distance Of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,4O7 miles.
over 10 per cent. OF tne people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex.
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil.
lions Of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques.
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi.
tion, and II held in New Orleans q
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There.
fore. we urge our readers to write to

Was there a tremble of fear in her
voice? Even as he looked Nathaniel
saw the flush deepen in her cheeks
and her eyes light with nervous eager
ness.
'T am sent by Obadiah Price," he
hazarded.
A flash of relief shot into the wom-
ans face.

peated. His office is near the tenn

The Mormon temple was the largest
structure in ST. James, huge square
building Of hewn logs. and Nathaniel
did not need to make inquiry to find
it On one side was a twostory build
ing with an outside stairway leading
to the upper floor. and a painted sign
announced that on this second floor
was situated the office of James Jesse
Strang, priest, king and prophet of the
Mormons. 1t was still very early and
the general merchandise store below
was not open. Congratulating him
self on this fact. and with the fingers
Of his right hand reaching instructive

mounted the stair. When half way up
he heard voices. AS he reached the
landing at the top he caught the quick
swish of a skirt. Another step and
he was in the open door. He was not
soon enough to see the person who
had just disappeared through an op-
posite door, but he knew that it was a
woman. Directly in front of him as

bled. Nathaniel saw that her eyes
were air. .ady red from crying You
will go?" she pleaded.
Nathaniel had taken her hand and
now he held 1t tightly in his own. His
head was thrown back. his eyes were
upon the door across the room. When
he looked again into the girlish face
there was flashing joyous defiance in
his eyes. and in his voice there was
confe ssion of the truth that had sud
denly come to overwhelm whatever
law of self.preservation he might have
held unto himself.
