BELGIUM WORLDS FAIR
DESTROYED BY fire

BRUSSELS.-One of the costliest
Conflagrations in European history
wiped out the Belgian Exposition
Sunday night, entailing an enormous
900 ,0O0 So far as known only two
PERSONS are dead and two score in
jured.
The White City of the worlds fair,
as the Belgians have called their
1910 exposition, early in the evening
was a mass of flames, and now is
smouldering ruins. A spark falling
into inf1ammable material in the tele-
graph building, burst into flames, and,
driven by high wind, swept rapid
ly in all directions.
Bands of thieves engaged in pillage
and soldier was stabbed while at

Exposition International.
The exposition was universal and
international, and opened in April of
this year, to continue six months.
Prominent on the programs were
special exhibitions of various kinds,
special agricultural and horticultural
shows, congresses, conferences and
artistic and sportive feats Special
games and competitions also received
attention.
The exposition covered an area of
about 200 acres, large number OF
which was reserved for foreign sec
tons. Beside the buildings, areas,
fences, kiosks and various other
things, the grounds contained railroad
terminals, connecting with the Bel
gian State Railway.

The inward Margaret was honest and
brave, rather sensitive, and still gener-
Gus; the outward woman, the prima
donna whom most people saw, was
self-possessed to a fault, imperious
when contradicted, and coolly ruthless
when her artistic fame was at stake.
The two natures did not agree well
together, and made her wretched when
they quarreIed, but Logotheti. who
was going to take her for better, for
worse, protested to like them both,
and was the only man she had ever
known who did. That was one reason
why she was going to marry him. aft
or having refused him about a dozen
t.Ses.
She had loved another man as much
as she was capable of loving, and at
one time he had loved her, but a mis-
understanding and her devotion to her
art had temporarily separated them;
and later, when she had almost told
him that she would have him If he
asked her, he had answered her quite
frankly that she was no longer the
girl he had cared for, and he had sud
denly disappeared from her life alto
gether. So Logotheti, brilliant, very
rich, gifted, gay and rather exotic in
appearance and manner. but tenaci-
Gus as bloodhound, had won the
prize after a struggle that had lasted
two years. She had accepted him
without much enthusiasm at the last
and without any great show of feel
ing.
Lets try IT," she had said, and he
had been more than satisfied.
After a time, therefore, they told
their friends that they were going to

The onsy woman with whom the
great singer was at all intimate was
the Countess Leven, Lord Creedmore's
daughter. generally called Lady
Maud" whose husband had been in
the diplomacy, and, after vainly try
ing to divorce her, had been killed in
st. Petersburg by bomb meant for
a minister. The explosion had been
so terrific that the dead mans identity
had only been established by means
of his pocket-book, which somehow es-
capped destruction. So Lady Maud
was a childless widow of eight-and-
twenty. Her father, when he had no
prospect of ever succeeding to the
title, had been a successful barrister,
and then a Woodworking member of
parliament. and he had been from boy
hood the close friend of Margaret's
father. Hence the intimacy that grew
up quickly between the two women
when they at last met, though they
had not known each other as children,
because the lawyer had lived In town
and his friend in Oxford
$50 you're going to try it, my
dear!" said Lady Maud, when she
heard the news.
She had a sweet low voice, and

and she had allowed the natural at
traction he had for her to draw her
gradually to a promise of marriage:
and now she talked to Lady Maud
about her gown. but she still put on
naming day for the wedding, in spite
OF Logotheti's growing impotence.
This was the situation when the
London season broke up and Mr.. Van

CHAPTER u.

There was good copy for the news
papers on both sides of the Atlantic
In the news that the famous lyric so
prano, Margsrita da Cordova, whose
real name was Miss Margaret Dome,
was engaged TO Mons. Konstantin
Logotheti, a Greek 1nancier of large
fortune established In Paris, and al
most as we'll known to art collectors
promoters, and mothers of marriage
able daughters.
The engagement was made known
during the height Of the London sea-
son. not long after they had both been
at a weekend party at Craythew,
Lord CTeedmore's place m Derbyshire,
where they had apparently come to
final understanding after knowing
each other more than two years. Mar
garet was engaged to sing at Covent
Garden that summer, and the first
mention OF the match was coupled
with the information that she intended
to cancel all her engagements and
never appear in public again. The re-
suit was that the next time she came
down the stage to sing the Waltz
Song in Romeo and Juliet" she re-
ceived a tremendous ovation before
she opened her handsome lips, and
another when she had finished the
air; and she spent one Of the happiest
evenings she remembered.
Though she was at heart a nice
English girl, net much over "a years
of age, the orphan daughter of an Ok
ford don who had married an Ameri-
can, she had developed, or fallen, to
the point at which very popular and
successful artists cannot live at all
without applause. and are not happy
unless they receive q certain amount
Of adulation. Even the envy they ex-
eite in their rivals is delicious, if not
almost necessary to them.
Margaret's real nature had not been
changed by a success that had been
altogether phenomenal and had prob
ably not been approached by any
soprano since Nine. Bonanni; but
second nature had grown upon it and
threatened to hide it from all but
those who knew her very well indeed.

Blow to Whole Party

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 2.-Declaring
the issue in Ohio is President Taft and
his administration, and affirming that
recent progressive agitation has done
more to confirm the Republican party
as "a party of constructive progress
than any body of substantiative law
since Lincolns DEATH" Secretary of
State Knox appealed to the Republi-
cans of Ohio tonight to indorse the
achievements of their native son at the
polls next Tuesday.
However much you may be assured
that the great issues in this campaign
are local." said Secretary Knox, lit is
not so. They are national. However
much the Democratic party may desire
victory in other states, it is nothing
compared with their frantic hopes to
defeat the Republican ticket in ONO
and thus arm themselves for 1912 with
the cry that Ohio has condemned the
Taft administration, has repudiated
her own son.
However the case may be elsewhere,
the line of cleavage is the president,
his policies and his success, and intelli-
gent and honest purpose in working
them out"

Many of the delegates in the conven-
