After a busy session that lasted over
three hours this morning the seventh

the program given was full Of helpful
hints that we're eagerly devoured by
the members of the profession. The
place Of the 1914 meeting will be de-
cided by the executive committee at
a later date. Ottawa seems to be the

the breadmakers. The city is located
near Starved Rock and will probably
be the scene of the next gathering.

with the question box. John Korn of
Quincy, chairman OF the question box
committee, had charge of the box and
many suggestions for the Improvement
OF the baking business were made

some time and in the future the mail
carriers will no doub. be carrying a
small bakery on their backs.
After the program had been con-
Guided all the members Of the associa-
ton were called upon to tell Of some

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.

The scene of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel, New York
City. The Princess Maria Theresa
of Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, Is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door, breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall, good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
his left. He begs the Princess TO
hide him. She, moved by some in
describable impulse, decides that
she will She directs him to an
inner room, and few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she is all right and sends him
away. The young man. who is
Warren Jarvis, Of Kentucky, comes
out Of his hiding place, and the
Princess, for the first time, notices
his wound. She is moved to sym
pathy and showers him with ques-
lions as to what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
feud between his family and an
other named Markham. He says
he left Kentucky to avoid the feud-
lists, but encountered one Of them
in the hotel, which explains the
shots. The Princess declares she
will help him, and then asks the
stranger question, Are you afraid
Of ghosts?" Jarvis laughs, but
grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance. and creates him
her wa ssal" Then she tells him
to get her trunk. which is going
to be shipped TO a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day. First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow. a negro. The servant is in
structed to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk. but first begins to ques-
ton the Princess about herself.
Now go on with the story.
