The door closed behind him. and Iris
turned into the library.
The room spoke strongly Of her IA.

containing several almost priceless
treasures. But perhaps the most
unique feature of the apartment was
the great. low desk. It was Flemish
piece, unusual in shape and construc.
ton, and covered with . multitude of
intricate ornaments, carved deep into
its heavy surface. 94s
Vanderpool had never been . very
light-hearted person, but he had q
subtle charm which was more fasci-
mating than any gaiety could be, and
his rare smile was q thing to be
remembered. OF her mother Iris had
no recollection, but from her earliest
childhood she had seen her father as
an individual. instead of merely -
father" a being from whom came
the luxuries Of material existence; and
she had always adored him. There
was q cloud over his existence, she
knew. and she assumed It to be the
loss of her mother. But this explana-
ton was not sufficient to account for
the depression which had come upon
him lately. What could the trouble
be? Had 1t to do with those letters
which came by registered mail, with
foreign stamps, some Of which the
tramp by the wayside at Stamford had
SO nearly stolen from her? Stamford!
II only she had stayed in the free, in.
nocent air Of the country, among the
crimson naples. where troubles slipped
from one 80 easily. Her thoughts new
to her, erstwhile lover, and bitter re-
gret welled up afresh in her heart.
"Oh, SAINT" she walled aloud, and
cast herself across the dashboard,
grasping the carvings opposite with
agonized white fingers. -.
Then suddenly an utterly unexpect-
ed. astonishing thing happened. The
carved ornament beneath her right
hand few outward with q spring. Iris
raised her tear-stained face in amaze
ment. and there before her lay open
= secret compartment. responsive to
her unwilling touch. 1t was a shall
low drawer. about six by ten inches
in diameter. and was filled with pa.
pers, written out In Spanish Ito her
an unintelligible language), the script
being that fine, close one of which she
had Just been thinking. There were .
number of these, but, stranger still, ON
top Of them lay a miniature in a frame
Of brilliants. At this she stared long,
with fascinated, incredulous eyes, for
the face was that Of the youth who
had sung before the cobblers shop;
the youth who, with his bear, had
saved her from the tramp; the youth
who. later, she had watched paint

With the ending of the baseball sea-
son today work will be begun Tuesday
to put the fair grounds in condition for
the county fair next week. The amount
OF work TO be done is not great as the
fair association has recently resumed
the building OF stone roads in the
grounds that was begun a year or two
ago. All OF the main roads have now
been surfaced with stone screenings
that assure dry footing IN case of rainy
weather.
The association puts into effect this
year for the first time the rule that
exhibitors of live stock and poultry
must make their entries not later than
Friday, Sept. S, instead of by the first
day of the fair.
Live Stock Exhibit Large.
Indications this early in the prepare
tiCns are that the live stock exhibits
will be very large. SO many stalls and
pens have already been engaged that
the association has begun to make pro-
visions to supply large tents in which
to house animals that can not be given
room in the permanent buildings.
W 4ICh IL -. IOSCht,
of the cattle division, reported to Sec
rotary ". NJ. Clark Saturday that prac-
tically all the stalls in the cattle build
ing and sheds had been engaged, an
order was placed at once for tent for
the overflow.
1t is expected that the number Of
sheep that will be entered for exhib-
itors will be the largest in the history
of the association, as some exhibitors
who have never shown here have en-
gagged pens for their focks.
Tickets Out For Children.
Tickets have been sent 10 each school
board of the county for all school chill
dren for Friday. Sept. Is. The asso-
cia.ion is trying a new plan of dis
tribution these tickets this year. The
directors have been asked to give the
tickets 10 the teachers, who are sup
posed to distribute them to the chill
dren actually attending school Last
year the tickets were sent direct to the
teachers, but the distribution was in
complete because the association was
unable TO learn the names of some of
the teachers
Any school pupil who is missed in the
distribution of tickets. either because
he happened not TO be at school or be-
cause of lack of tickets, will be given
a ticket by applying at the office of
the secretary at the fair grounds.

Truths About the Navy.

We Know now when the decay Of the
nlaleficont influence of Secretary Dan
iels and the Democratic administra-
ton aS' a whole. The report Of the
general board Of the navy, dealing
with our fall fTora second rank among
the fleets OF the world, gives exact
data. On the basis of displacement
Of ships built ard building. the
United States dropped behind Ger
many in 1909 On the basis Of dis
placement of ships in commission we
fell behind in 1911 For part of 1909
Mr.. Roosevelt was president. In 1911
Mr.. TAT was president. Since it is
incoH ceivable that Mr. Roosevelt
should have been responsible for the
crininal neglect Of our navy, it must
be assumed that the loss Of second
place in 1909 occurred after March
Of that year. But, On the other hand,
a fleet does not go to pieces in a
day. There are such things as naval
programs which must be drafted years
in advance. II, therefore, in 1909 our
navy had to make way for Germanys S,
it must be that, for several years be-
fore that, there was no. that wise pro-
vision of our national needs and du-
ties for which responsibility rests on
