WATER CIRCUS COMING
SOUTH FIRST TIME.
One Of the Attractions at the Missls-
slppi State Fair at Jackson VIII
De innovation In Way OF
Entertainment.

Many Mississippians OF the old
school have vivid as well as fond
recollection of the old cross-country
circus-the ones that moved from
town TO town over the country roads
by wagon, elephant, tiger, monkey,
clown and all. All OF u- are familiar
with the modern circus that travels In
magnificent trains from city to city
But here comes the water circus
This is a new one on ali OF US.
Yet this very same s-ttraction will
be seen at the Mississippi State Fair
this year In all its glory and novelty.
According to Secretary Mcdonald,
who has been successful In securing
this startling attraction, the water
circus" Is a wonderful aquatic spec
tacle shown in a huge tenk containing
$4,000 gallons Of clear water, where
thirty male and female experts per-
form the same acts seen In dry land
circuses.
Deep sea divers, champion log roll
ers, fancy lady swimmer, water walk
ing experts, diving girls funny water
clowns, diving dogs and ponies, and
entertaining, laughable aad interest
ing water pantomime, at once awe-in-
spring and entertaining. Neptune's
Daughter, or Trip to the Bottom of
the Sea, will Identify this aggregation.
It is to the Rice & Dore Circus and
Carnival Company that all credit is
due for this magnificent class of enter
tainment The water circus," how
ever, is only part of the many amuse-
ments this company will bring to Jack
son during the Fair. There will be
twenty-five shows in all, and the aggre-

Mysterious Messages.

At Tampa Holton met and had
breakfast with several army engineers
who had been engaged in laying out
camp sites in the pine woods back OF
Tampa. Then in the afternoon he pro-
ceeded on to Port Tampa. nine miles
away. Ahead. rising into the blue
sky like some dream palace in Sahara,
the Tampa Bay Hotel. with it's brick
walls and cleaning silver domes and
minarets.
IL brought hope to his heart. and his
steps were more springy as he hur-
ried toward the immense structure. A
negro boy took his bag as he entered
he lobby, and h clerk smiled as he
had not lone since the winter throng
left the hostelry early in March
After a bath and shave he set out
to the bay TO view his new command.
He found her in charge OF an able
seaman. Conroy. who welcomed him
with enthusiasm.
Holton stepped aboard and chuckled
when he recalled the comparatively
large deck space OF the Scorpion.
The Gnat was almost a toy craft, and
yet her regulation torpedo gun on the
after deck. the machine gun forward.
and the little coming tower. heavily
plated with steel. gave adequate him
that she was by no means built for
pleasure.
1T is likely wen be busy before
long, Conroy." he said. "I1l have my
luggage brought down from the hotel
and come aboard at once. How many
men have WEI"
only Howard. the engineer. and
me-" was the reply.
All right. The fewer the better.
III return shortly. and perhaps take
her out"
Whereupon Holton stepped out with
a blithe stride. In the lobby of the
hotel he buried his face in a Washing
ton newspaper and spent a half-hour
absorbing the war talk OF the day.
His reverie was interrupted by a
hotel page. who handed him a card
bearing the name lose Rodriguez. Ha-
vana.
MI. Rodriguez wishes to know ~
you Will do him the honor OF calling
upon hin in his rooms" announced
the boy.
Rodriguez And who is he?"
He's a very wealthy Spaniard who
has been here some time"
Wen, then, you will tell Mr.. Rodri-
guez that II he wishes to see me. he'll
find me here"
Yes. sir. I'll tell him that" and
the boy hurried away.
Il Xix the nerve OF that" growIed
Holton. returning to his paper.
In a Few moments the page stood
before him again.
"Well?" Holton looked up impa.
tiently.
MT. Rodriguez said. sir, that he
does not wish to speak to you in the
lobby. and that it will be best for
you If you visit him as soon as Won

A Frank Admission.

Holton's acquisitions were promptly
attended to, and by the time he had
completed his packing at the club his
tickets for the Florida Special had ar
rived.
He lunched with Billy Holt of the
ordnance department, and then took a
hack to the station, where he found
the train made up. He had several
magazines in his hands, and settled
down to read with his feet luxuriously
resting on the other seat of his sec
ton.
1t was not many minutes, however,
before he yawned broadly, and five
minutes thereafter his magazine had
tumbled from his hand and he was fast
asleep.
AS ne fell into slumber two men
approached the porter, and, throwing
open. their coats. displayed Secret
Service shields.
While their English was perfect.
they were surely of the Latin race.
"Ya-as, suh-all right, gen1'men."
The porter was very much impressed.
"Ya-as, sub, go right along"
AS they approached Holton's sec
ton one Of them stopped.
We'll here he is" he remarked
Yes, and asleep, too. He's bound
for Tampa for a surety"
Yes; but, now that he kindly sleeps.
we might as we'll go farther" He
bent down and carefully drew Holton's
bag out into the aisle. Quick" he
said, looking up, "the keys"
His companion drew from his
pocket a large bunch of keys, and the
man tried several without success
Finally, becoming impatient, he drew
the bag to the seat behind Holton,
aud. drawing his knife, cut a long hole
near the top. Then, inserting his
hand and arm, he fished about for
several minutes, but without feeling
anything other than wearing apparel
and toilet articles.
Finally he Strengthened up and
pushed the bag into the place whence
it had been withdrawn with the frown-
ing remark:
well, we1l have to let him go;
we've done our part"
The two men spent some time in the
station, framing a telegram in cipher,
which, when completed, was SEN to
Tampa Then they disappeared.
Holton in the meantime slept, and
was still asleep when the train moved
out Awakened by a sudden urn of
the cars, he started bolt upright and

"Whew!"
Holton sat back In his seat. So war
had come. What would happen now?
So far as he was concerned. Holton
was likely to be well in the forefront.
He was exalted. thrilled in every hber
of his being. He put h dispatch In
his pocket and walked back through
the rain TO his car. AS he reached
Miss La Tossa's section he found her
folding up a bit of paper and putting
1t in her waist.
Had she, too, received a dispatch?
Holton did not doubt ii. SO he wasted
no words.
We'll. it has come to pass" he said;
war has been declared. and within
a few months Cuba will be as free as
even you could wish"
God grant it," she murmured.
Holton held out his hand.
Good night. Miss La Tossa." he
said.
She shook his hand cordially. lin
geringly even.
Good night she replied.
Her eyes sought his. and for a mo
ment il seemed as though h were
going to speak. Then she turned
away.
Holton waited an instant. and then
he. too, averted his face.
Good night" he said again. and
went TO his own berth, where the
had completed his preparations.

came to a realizing sense of his stu

tried to resume his nap. But this
time he did not fall asleep, and so,
after fdgeting about for half an hour,
he decided to go into the smoker.
He had some very excellent cigars
in his grip, and, pulling out the bag,
he leaned down to unlock it, when he
saw the long hole which had been
cut in the shining pigskin.
He regarded the damage for a sec

She did not reply, and Holton added:

you do no imagine Cuba to be in dan

be your object. and If the United

Still, she did not answer. and Hol-

oughly outraged. We'll, I'll be hanged

Holton hustled out of the seat in a
great huff.
