tors. All automobile drivers are hyp-
Noticed. It is when something wakes
them that they lose control-as Harris
did. Something, some powerful emo
ton, some unexpected shock awak-
ened him-and he went through the
fence. 1t was while he was coming
back to this world of sense that he
gave me the clue.
"In Greek?" asked, in amazement.
"No. He saw, in that moment, a
perfect picture of a. king and queen
enthroned, watching a race of street
watering carts with four donkeys har-
messed abreast. The mirror, of course,
distorts it's images. Well, gentlemen,
suppose we go to the hospital tomor-
row and see the patient and try to To-
cate Mae Connolly"
"By all means!" exclaimed. How
about yourself, Mr.. Tarrant?"
"Well, I confess I'd like to CO." an
swered our host, "but being a man of
much less leisure than yourselves, I'm
afraid my absence from my office
would tie things up badly in Wall
street However, pray let me know
the result of your researches. Come
in any or every night in the week. I
shall be at home alone, for I am re-
cataloguing my Assyrian antiquities
just now"
On thu next morning Emmanuel and
I paid a visit to the Free Baptist hos
pital. My distinguished colleagues
card procured for us immediate adj
mittance. We found the injured driv-
er comfortably established in bed
in a private room, and were lucky
enough to discover Miss Connolly seat
ed at his side, reading to him the &C
count of the accident in the "Ameri-
can People," Harris recognized Doc
tor Emmanuel at once and held out
his free hand.
"Glad to see you, Doc" he said.
"Gsad to know your friend. This is
my friend, Miss Connolly"
The girl, a coarse but handsome
blonde, nodded to us amiably enough.
She was an attractive looking girl of
her type, with full but well-propor-
toned figure, small hands, a large
and not wholly homegrown couture,
and a pleasing smile which disclosed

ragman to a thin-looking woman who
was standing at her door.
'No," replied the woman, Excepting

If you want them you must take me,

The ragman scanned the householder
up and down and smile lurked around
his lips.

And now the cars were whirling
back again on the last round of all,
and the spectators stood up and yelled
and screamed and shouted themselves
into husky whispers. They were al
most abreast now-Harris leading;
they were abreast; - Morton was pass
ing him, inch by inch, inch by inch.
Harris was falling back! No, it was
the delusion caused by the foreshort-
ening of the bend of the track. Harris
was still in the lead-or was Morton
My eyes swan. I heard a thousand
cries, asservating, denying. And then,
amid all that confusion, 1 saw Mae
Connolly again, seated just as immov-
ably, but now with head craned for
ward, and her thumb
Her thumb was pointing upward.
Unconsciously she had assumed the at
titude of the degenerate Roman wom-
an, unsated by the combat until it
reached the last extremity. Uncon-
sciously and gracefully she had
stretched out her arm, and the thumb
stood up from the extended hand.
Perhaps she might have solved the
disputed question whether thumbs up
or thumbs down meant the death sig
nal. But unquestionable there was
death in her face.
There was death in the air, every
where. I felt it as though an angel
had passed by.
Crash! There was no other sound,

TORPEDOON WEWAT
 THE FAIRGROUNDS
Self Operated Young Sub marine" Center of Attrac-
 ton at Naval Exhibit

Not every person you meet on the street has had the opportunity to view a real torpedo the kind with which the large battleships are sunk, so the local naval recruiting office has arranged a treat for everyone by placing a genuine loaded torpedo on display at the fair grounds directly under the center of the grandstand. This one torpedo cost the United States over $60O0 to construct, and is a self-operated submarine boat in it. self The front end, or nose, Is filled with explosive, the next large chamber, which is several times the size of of an ordinary man, is filled with compressed air immediately before the discharge of the torpedo from the boat, and the third compartment encases the necessary driv- ing machinery. At the extreme rear is located the fins and other devices nec- essary to hold the instrument on given course
 Many are taking advantage of this op- portunity to see this instrument of de- struotion that has been so valuable in many naval encounters, and Capt. J. A. Bone has several of the boys" from the local headquarters there all the time to give any information desired concerning either the torpedo or ths navy.

Al. c. Fields Minstrels

The sale of seats for Al G. Fields min strels went on sale yesterday morning. Field and his minstrels have always played to capacity here and the advance sale indicates that he will again pack the Jefferson as on previous engage ments.
 It is a fact long recognized by au- diences that one of the reasons for the continued popularity. year in and year out, of the Al G. Field minstreis has been that the programme each season is pre- sented in a new, original dress, but at the same time retaining the flavor and essence of minstrelsy. This is demon- strated in striking way this year, for the conventional First Part" while pre- senting the songs, music, dancing and fun which are the very heart of Amer ican minstrelsy, is given to the audience in an entirely unique and up-to- date form. The background represents an American fort, which stands out against the sea, with lighthouse silhouetted, and battleship steaming by. The Al G.

Thousands Enjoy Free Attractions and Exhibits

(COmtfnucd rom rage Nzve) resources and developments are in- tensely interesting and proving more and moro popular each year as the fairs go into history.
 'There ain't no use talking,' said a man from where kerosene holds its own against the onslaught of electric ; ity, "this here fair is great. and I the price I paid to get in herd to see that woman turn somersaults in that airship."
 Everybody is having big time at the fair and is enjoying one of the best free act programmes ever offered the patrons of any state exposition. The Belle Claire brothers in sensation al acrobatic work; the four Roerders' equilibrium act and the Booker Ben Ali Arabs, known as the "eight whirl- winds of the desert," proved the stars of the bill, though the other acts are al meritorius. Pains fireworks at night are just as attractive as ever; in fact, tho new creations used in "the battle of the dreadnaughts and submarines'' is n great pyrotechnical display that i5 well worth seeing.

AIR FLEET WILL WIN WAR

aIn our present location we have the opportunity of watching the duels be- tween the English aviators and Ger man artillerymen, and it is some sport We have never seen an airplane hit, as it is next to impossible to got one. If the United States only sends those 10000 airplanes you can bet on an early end of the war, but that's the only way it can be won. It may take a long time even then, but if 1t should end today you would never hear a good word spoken for any German by any person that has been here and seen the outrages committed by the most barbarous race in the world.
 "Give my regards to all the boys you see, and write to me when you can, because letter from the states sure is appreciated here. There are lots of things L would like to tell you on my return, and you can get an idea what this war is like, but the only way really to know 1t is to see it .and that is a bitter dose.

 In letter received yesterday by E. W. F1inn, friend of Sergeant Cox, this Sammy gives some interesting impressions of the fighting.

 MARCHED IN LONDON
 sswe had 8 very pleasant voyage, Asyitf, no excitement, as the submarines 1rept off our trail. We made our trip sacross England on one of their funny little railroads, and had the pleasure ;<,f being in the first army of foreign soldiers to march through the streets of London with 8 foreign flag and arms tfor several hundred years. We were re- viewed by the King, Queen and the American ambassador. Saw some beau 'tdful scenery and large training camps in England, and when we landed in France, but now we are just as far from civilization as 1t is possible to get, behind the firing line in the midst Of ruins of little towns that were de- stroyed by the Germans in their re- treat. There is nothing left here but ruins, and soldiers, to tell the tale.
 we arc organizing our permanent camp and expect to start our work this week, as everything is all set for us. It will be new experience for us and under different circumstances, as we are not used to working where we can hear the sure enough artillery blazing away, although we have learned to sleep without it bothering us. We have found the English soldiers to be very friendly, and our coming over here has cheered them up and given them more hope for an early end of the war. They gave us a royal reception in London. Thousands of people lined the streets and cheered us all along the way of our march, and I doubt whether the American flag is displayed in any city of the United States as much as 1t was in London that day,
