JANE TELLS OF PREPARATIONS.
FOH MY MIDNIGHT ARRIVAL
The strain of Jane's confession was
telling upon her. Her face was pale
and small beads of perspiration had
come upon her brow. She seemed so
distressed that I interposed.
"It Is not necessary, my dear, that
you tell me any more," 1 said to her.
"I have heard enough to know that
your life has been a very sad one and
I am quite sure that you had no part
In my capture or imprisonment."
"No, I will tell you what I started
out to tell." she declared, resolutely.
"I want you to understand my posi-
tion.
"As J have told you, the discovery
that my son was a thief broke my
he&rt, but he had exhibited so many
undesirable traits of character that I
cannot say I was surprised when he
developed this weakness. I kept him
here as close to my side as possible,
but he eluded me frequently and was
continually Betting into scrapes of
many kinds. The latest and most
serious escapade was when be forged
Harry Pendleton's name to a chock
for one hundred dollars and cashed It.
Harry discovered, through private de-
tectives, that my son had committed
the forgery and brought the check
here, ostensibly to Impress upon
Henry—I had named my son for
Harry Pendleton—the seriousness of
his act, but I believe now that
Harry's chief purpose was to let me
know in this way that he had fasten-
ed the forgery upon my son. He
knew that he held both my son and
pie completely in his power; that a
word from him and my only child
Scald be sent to prison.
"Of course I did not take such a
View of it at the time. I though that
Harry Pendleton did perfectly right
In taxing the boy with the forgery
and with using every means in his
power to Impress upon him the ser-
iousness of the crime, and it was no
surprise to me when he let the mat-
ter drop at that, although I noticed
that he took great care to preserve
the cancealed check.
"That Incident occurred only a few
weeks ago, and I believe that at that
time Harry had perfected his plans

for kidnapping you, because a few
days later he came out here and told
me that I would very likely have a
visitor before long. He said that the
visitor would be a young woman
whose health required absolute rest
and retirement and that he had plan-
ned to install her in the secret cham-
ber, which old Ezra Pendleton had
constructed. He then showed me
how to enter and leave the secret
room and, after giving instructions
that It be renovated and prepared for
the visitor, ho departed.
"He returned a few days after-
wards and told me that the young
woman he had spoken to me about
had suffered a nervous breakdown
and was laboring under various hal-
lucinations. One of the hallucina-
tions, he said, caused the young wom-
an to believe that she had been kid-
napped and was being detained against
her will. He assured me, however,
that this was not the case and that in
a few weeks, possibly In a few days,
the visitor would have recovered her
mentaal poise.
"His statements mystified me to n
considerable extent, but 1 attempted
to believe everything he told me and
prepared the room for your reception.
A few days later Harry returned with
a half dozen wicked looking men
whom he said he had employed to
work on the estate. These men I
have since learned are nothing more
nor less than guards. They have been
stationed about the premises and keep
watch day and night. No one Is per-
mitted to visit or leave the place
without coming under their scrutiny.
"The presence of these men con-
vinced nie that what Harry had told
me about the mental condition of the
expected visitor was not true, but I
was afraid to think what were his
real plans and what he was about to
undertake. It did not occur to me
then that his mind was affected. He
seemed perfectly normal, except that
his demeanor was more serious than
usual. HHls plans for your recention
were finally completed and he depart-
ed for the city, telling me that I
might except the young woman visitor
sometime that night."

(Temple Telegram Special.)
HANCOCK PARK, Lampasas, Tex.,
Aug. 10.—The great annual encamp-
ment of Baptists at Hancock Park,
closed its 1917 session today Just aft-
er noon. The only services held this
morning were the Bible hour service
by Dr. Nampey, and a few closing re-
marks by President S. E. Tull, of the
assembly.
Practically all those who were
camped on the grounds for the pur-
pose of attending the encampment
were gone by mid-afternron, but
there are yet a number of cainps of
those who chose this beautiful park
as a place to camp a few days or
weeks for rest and recreation. One
of the families here yet is that of
Ed Temple of Temple, who will re-
main here for a couple of weeks.
As the park company Is Just about
out of debt now great plans are be-
ing made for Improving the grounds
before next year. It is understood
a Lampasas furniture firm contem-
plates erecting a number of cottages
in the park for those who desire to
live a little more comfortably than is
possible in a tent.
Next year's program Is to be
stronger than this year, and an ef-
fort will be made to increase the 11-
tendance over that of this year, which
was the largest in the history of the
encampment.

in the valley yf Virginia, nine deaths
have occurred in Rockingham county.
Thirty-five cases of the disease are

Tomatoes Are Pretty Scarce.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Chicago, 111., Aug. 10.—A. Watson
Armour, of Armour & Co., said that
his company had been bidding for
canned tomatoes In California,' as
usual, and was unable to obtain a
supply sufficient to care for the com-
pany's business as a distributor.
The first fair or exhibition of
which there is any record is de-
scribed in the Book of Esther in the
Bible. This is the first record of a
fair In either sacred or profane his-
tory. King Ahasuerus showed the
riches of his kingdom during the
third year of his reign. This fair
was held at Shushan and lasted for
114 days. The exhibits consisted of,
"white, green and blue hangings, fast-
ened with cords of fine linen and
purple to silver rings and pillars of
marble; The hetfs were of gold and
silver, upon a pavement of red, and
blue, and white and black marble.
And they gave them drink in vessels
of gold, the vessels being diverse one
from another."
Fairs have been held since the be-
ginning of civilization and have been
potent factors in the spread of civili-
zation. In the medieval ages our an-
cestors In Europe got in touch with
the arts and sciences of the more
cultured nations through the medium
of the fairs. The Creeks and Rom-
ans held expositions and the dissem-
ination of information by this means
was to a large measure responsible
for the great place taken in the
world's htstory by the civilization of
these nations.
The Fair n Place to Swap Experi-
ences.
In addition to the exhibition of the
products and riches of a nation there
was always a great deal of trading
at these ancient fairs. In fact in
medieval times the fair was about
the only medium through which the
people could dispose of what they
had to sell. Our modern methods of
trading have done away with the
necessity of holding fairs to sell our
goods but the spread of ideas
throughout the community is still
carried on by means of fairs. We
may read as much as we please
about what another man has done,
but when it comes to believing it we
cannot be sure until we have seen
evidence of his achievement at the
fair. There may be hogs weighing
950 pounds but until we see them
we are never quite sure that they ex-
ist. We are "from Missouri and like
to be shown." "Seeing is believing."
The Bell county fair has been a potent
influence in the improvement of farm-
ing methods In tho county. We think
that our corn, hogs, cattle, horses,
chickens and other farm products
are the best In the country if we
have never seen any better. When
we go to the fair and see that another
farmer has produced better stuff than
we have, then we are ready to get
stock like his or to plant Seed like
his or to cultivate the ground as he
has cultivated it. The fair is a great
place to swap experiences. It affords
an excellent opportunity for the com-
parison of good stock and field crops
and for the discussion of the merits
and the demerits of stock on ex-
hibition. Many a farmer dates his
success in handling a certain part of
his farm work from some fair which
he attended at some time In his lite.
The Fair Doubly Necessary During
VVnr.
The fact that the United States
is at war makes it doubly necessary
that the best products of the county
be brought to the fair and placed on
exhibition so that the improvement
of crop production may take place at
ft faster pace. During the last few
years there have been many good
farmers in the county who have pro-
duced remarkable results but who
have not given their neighbors the
benefit of their experience. Such
selfishness should be abandoned and
a^ far as possible our neighbors
should have an opportunity to know
how we have succeeded in those lines
of endeavor where we have been
peculiarly successful. It Is our pa-
triotic duty to spread such informa-
tion as will enable the general public
to improve its products both In qual-
ity and quantity. It is necessity grow-
ing out of the fact that we are at
war. Every producer in the county
should make it a point to place on
exhibit at the fair samples of his pro-
ducts. TTe owes it to the commnnitv.
He owes It to the nation which needs
to conserve its strength and to put its
energv to work in channels where
the greatest returns will be received.
Premiums Increased to Encourage
Display of Products.
To encourage the exhibition of
Hell County products the premiums
in this department have been doubled.
Nothing is being left undone which
will help this section of the state
to rib its part in the improvement of
products and the dissemination of in-
formation as to what the other fellow
Is doing in the way of successful pro-
ductlon of stock or field crops. Partic-
ular attention is called to the fact
that a number of changes have been
made In the women's department
which will guarantee even more In-
terest than in the past. Read over
the catalog and study the different
departments and then ask for expla-
nation if there be anything which is
not made perfectly clear. The wom-
en's department is one of the moft
Important things at the Fair and
every woman should do her part to
make It complete. Committees are at
work all over the county to get co-
operation from the women and are
meeting with marked success.
Amusement and Social Features.
Of course everybody knows that the
main purpose of the fair Is educa-
tional. It is recognized fact how-
ever that, "all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy." Having this
in mind the managers of the exhibi-
tion have provided the very best
forms of entertainment pos-ible for
those who visit the fair. There will
be three days of horse racing, two
days of motor racing and a big foot
bail game the last day. Five big
new free attractions have been pro-"
vided. The purses In horse racing
have been largely increased and those
in motor racing have been practically
doubled. The J. George Loos Carni-
val Company, one of the best in the
South and the same one that furn-
ished the attractions for the Ft.
Worth Stock Show, has been engaged
to furnish amusement during the big
week. Six days of unalloyed plea-
sure are assured and those who come
have the chance to choose from a
number of different attractions or to
take them all In, one by one. The
social side of the fair Is one of th'e
most important things to be consider-
ed. People who have not seen each
other for a year have a chance to
get together and tell everything which
has happened in the meantime. Tlio
abundant shade on the grounds makes
it easy to spread a picnic lunch and
recall other day and other times when
this practice was far more common
than it is today.
Further Information from D. II. Mr-
Kcn/.ie.
The program for the week will be
found on the insert page. It Is not
yet complete but will have other
things added to it between now and
the first of October. It is urged that
everyone look carefully through the
catalog which has been made as brief
as possible but which at the same
time covers the ground ns thoroughly
as It could be done. Attention is call-
ed to the special departments. The
management of the fair desires that
any item not covered in full be
brought to its attention. FFurther in-
formation will be furnished by the
chairman of any committee or by
D. H. McKenzie the secretary of the
Fair.

"The Power of Decision," With
Frances NtIson, Also "Dippy Dan's
Doings," an L-KO Comedy, Willi
Dan Russell.
Frances Nelson, in "The Power of
Decision," is a story of a girl who
tried to be truthful and upright and
faces a desperate crisis in wrestling
with her own past. She had to make
a decision—to decide whether she
would follow the "right rond" or the
"wrong road"—there was a pistol shot,
a tragedy—and the road was made
plain to her.
As an extra added attraction Dan
Russell will be seen in an amusing
L-KO comedy, entitled, "Dippy Dan's
Doings."
A short story of "The Power of
Decision" follows:
The art life of a great city is shown
in "The Power of Decision," the five-
part feature production starring Frun-
ces Nelson. Historic Greenwich vil-
lage, which has become the center of
New York's artistic activities, is faith-
fully depicted in the play. Margot,
the heroine of the story, is a model
who has been befriended by an old
artist while in the tiepths of poverty.
At a sale of his effects after his death
she meets a young illustrator, Wood
Harding, for whom she then poses ex-
clusively. He marries her, not telling
her that he has a wife living. When
she learns the truth, she goes to an-
other city and poses for a woman
artist. Later she meets and marries
Austin Bland, a novelist, whose new
book Harding is engaged to Illustrate,
Margot posing for the pictures of the
heroine.
Thus throughout the drama glimpses
are shown of artist life in its various
phases, and the point of view of dwell-
ers in Bohemia is made known by
means of the film story. Artists, art
students and models are prominent in
the production, and players familiar
with New York's art life have been
chosen to Interpret these roles. "The
Power of Decision" is an exception-
ally attractive production.

San Saba County Fair and Encampment
By ANDUKW McBEATH
I get mad when I think about all
those Thornless (prickly) l'ears not
being transplanted from the Kussell
nursery to some of the territory
where they would be worth so much
as a feed -crop during the present
and following seasons. 1 sold some
slabs to K. K. Williams, editor of
the Telegram last night; that is, 1
suppose 1 sold them to him. He said
he would put out a couple of dozen
on the site of his proposed suburban
home, so they would be ready when
he began to improve the place. I
also talked him into that scheme of
planting ail Irish potato in the bottom
of a barrel and covering the sprout
every time it came up until the sprout
grows to the top of the barrel, in
order to get a barrel full of potatoes
from one plant. Isn't that fine? 1
am strong for new ideas like that and
that is one reason why I would like
to see that spineless cactus thornless
pear plant put out all over the coun-
try during this dry weather when it
will get a good start. Ways to make
money interest nie.
1 am still considering the informa-
tion I secured while at San Saba re-
lating to the successful conduct of
the sheep industry. W. I'. Kdwards
took me out to the fair grounds on
the first morning of the meeting of
the Mountain llemnant Brigade. He
wanted• me to see the Harkey boy's
pen of sheep. I saw this exhibit,
though 1 did not meet Harkey. 1 was
given an introduction to Thomas
Ollmp, of Burnet, who had a pen of
sheep. I would have judged them to
be two or three years old. They were
nine and ten months old. What I
don't know about sheep would make a
book. While I was listening to the
talk about sheep, as other men gath-
ered around this pen, I heard the old
soldiers giving the rebel yell and saw
some graceful buzzards wheeling high
overhead in the air as they loitered
lazily in the summer sky and gaied
over thousands of acres of hills and
canyons, farms, ranches and river.
Somebody was trying to buy a ram
too cheap from my friend who was ex-
plaining that the buy would cost twice
as much if the buyer were to Import

was for my friend who in Isted on his
price and I hope he got his price after
I left, Finally we got a chance to talk
about the sheep business and Mr.
Glimp told me that he thought every
farmer should select the kind of sheep
breed that he liked and then stick to
it always. He said that every breed
of sheep Is the farmer's best friend,
although the registered sheep business
is dangerous for anyone who does not
understand It. A man should go into
the sheep business gradually, just a
few at first and increase the flock as
he learned. Would not advise any-
body to get into the sheep business
unless he likes sheep and the sheep
like him, and then only on a small
scale. A man must look after the
business himself—it is hard to hire a
hand that will take good care of the
sheep as the owner will take if he
likes sheep. Wool and mutton are
money crops and you will always get
a good price as compared with other
things.
Mr. Glimp told me that there was
a whole lot aoout the sheep business
that one man cannot tell another. I
could understand him as I am also in
a business that I cannot teach to an-
other. We were good friends on that
score—he knows his business and don't
know how he knows it and that is
the way I am about mine. Lines up
all right with philosophy: "A man
never knows his business until he has
forgoten how he learned.
Nevertheless, he told me that a man
could not succeed in the sheep busi-
ness if he did not cull his flocks. H»
said there are no two or three ways
to raise Sheep—no man on earth can
breed up a good type without culling
his fliocks; you will fail if you do not
cull your flocks. Use good rams, cull
the flocks and then take care of the
sheep. You must have an idea of the
character of sheep you want to breed
to and then breed a little heavier
than the type desired. By keeping
your model in mind all the time you
can secure flocks of uniform type.
In lambing time the man who owns
the sheep must be with them. If he
is not with them he will fail to raise
a lamb crop.
Mr. Glimp has been raising sheep
for thirty years; has liked them all
his life. At one time he sheared 400
head and got a clip weighing 2700
pounds. Decided that was not
enough wool. He has since improved
the quality of his stock until this
year he sheared 201 sheep from
which he got 3100 pounds, valued
at $1540. This was 400 pounds more
of wool than he had formerly got
from the herd of 400 sheep. Improv-
ed stock is the cause. He has reg-
istered stock but would not advise
the beginner to start with register-
ed stock. There Is something to the
registered stock business that a man
should learn before putting his money
into it, such as buying, selling and
mating. The sale of the incrp*<e
is a big factor in the business. The
average kind sell for $6 to $7 a head,
while the kind Mr. Glimp sells runs
from $10 to $50 a hea».
Mr. C.limp declared that farmers
are losing money by killing weeds
when they could put sheep in tha
fields and let the sheep put the weeds
on the market.
There is money in the sheep busi-
ness if a man likes it and will try
to make money The Bell county
men who have recently organized for
improving their conditions In this
great industry are on the right track.
I hope they make a lot more money
than other farmers will make who
will not raise sheep to kill the weeds.
I used to kill weeds myself and I
know I voice the sentiments of every
farm boy when I say: "Turn the
sheep into the fields and let the sheep
put the weeds on-the market."
