with them again In few minutes after
he had convinced the foreign detective
if such the stranger was-of the mistake
he had made were but empty braggadocio,
and that In reality he was in the power
of a man who had hunted long for him,
and would not be apt to have the wool
pulled over his eyes by his game.
Fancy the old mans CONSERVATION and
amazement, therefore. when, after the
lapse of a short time. the adventurer
cooily stepped through the open window
leading out upon the veraDda.
There was a look upon his face that
none of them could fathom, for it seemed
to be a mixture OF triumph, cunning,
dread and Heaven only knows what not.
'You see convinced the fool he had
made a big mistake, as l told you would,
and he has gone on to Richmond. Some
one misled him, but it is all right now,"
said the Captain.
Lawrence Richmond noticed severa!
things that excited his curiosity.
In the first place the Captain was
whittier than he had ever seen him before,
and seemed to be trembling somewhat.
Then again he had handkerchief
bound around his left hand, and 1t seemed
to have been bleeding too much for him
TO have scratched it on thorn in pass
ing.
He made no comment, though his sus-
picions were aroused.
The Captain did not seem disposed II
renew his assault upon the old man. In
deed, what had passed since then seemed
to have quieted his spirits in wonderful
manner, and he was even ready TO believe
the story of Lawrence Richmond in re-
gard to his suspicion tina. Roger Darrell
had been the one who had committed
this daring abduction, though, of course,
as they had not the slightest proof, they
could not do anything in legal way.
The news seemed to affect the Captain,
for apparently he hated Roger with an
intensity such as is given by the tiger for
its prey or its foe, but he did not remain
at the house more than a couple OF
hours.
There is no use OF our lingering here,
crying over split milk. When we are
ready for the ceremony again, we will
meet once more. and with this the va
liant Captain left the house.
1t was about midnight, and the moon
in the east showed quite slice of one
side, yet her light, though reduced sew
eral degrees, was strong enough to show
all the paths through the forest.
II was at this time that the strange and
wonderful scene was occurring in front
OF the old mill. and during which Nora
Warner fell into the power of her old
time foe. the man most hateful to her
on earth-the mad house doctor.
As he left the house the Captain cast
several giances over his shoulder in
order to make sure that he was not FOL
lowed.
The very fact OF his doing this would
seem to indicate that he was bound upon
some errand that would not bear inspec-
ticn.
Once among the trees he made his way
rapidly to point where the shadows lay
deascst. and there upon the ground las
tn from OF man silent and motionless.
1t was the mysterious foreigner.
The Captain had proven too much foi
even the keen detective. and his manner
OF convincing the man-hunter Of the mis-
take he had made had been aforcible one
IN the struggle. and before Capt. Gram
had struck a favorable SPOT with hi

fort except the prayer, though its in
fuence is of brief duration. For two

to work at anything. His farm and
stock gave him support for several
years, but reverses in loss of crops and
cattle and the treachery Of friends de-
spoiled him of all property except some

A suBTERRANEAN chamber has been
discovered under a house on the hill

a mosaic pavement, and on each SIDE
there is a double row of sepulchers

with terra Gotta and marble relieis'

TRANSPORTATION.


lated meat car is not a suitable car in
which to ship oranges; much less is a fer
tilizer car fit to carry oranges. Yet, in
years past, the majority of the cars fur
nished were of the above mentioned
kinds.
The freight we pay in shipping North,
being about double that from North
to South, ought to furnish us with the
latest and most improved fruit car, viz:
the Eastman Automatic Ventilated Fruit
Cars, which are capable of receiving our
oranges, carrying and delivering them at
destination at specified temperature.
With such facilities for transportation
we should never be liable to feel aggrieved
much less insulted, by reading from our
commercial correspondent, ''YOur car OF
oranges has arrived badly frozen, largely
cooked, or much decayed." With such
temptations out of the way it may not
be considered unreasonable to expect an
increase of our receipts of twenty five or
more per cent.
A positive schedule as to time should
be published and observed by all trans
portation companies, and said cOmpa-
MES should be rigidly held to their i'm
piled contracts.
Last season the writer had a car of
oranges on the way from GlenwoOd to
Jacksonville-dist 102 miles-from
the 10Th to the 25th of December The
weather being warm and the car unventi-
lated, the fruit on arriving at destination
was Cooked"
When such side tracking of fruit occurs
the grower should vigorously demand
payment of the transportation compa-
MES at the current price.
BY WHOM SHOULD THE ORANGES BE SOLD
AND WHERE.
By the grower on the tree, or +. o. b., if a
satisfactory price can be obtained.
Who is the best qualified to decide as
to satisfactory price?
Any intelligent man who is the best in
formed as to the supply and demand in
any given locality, taking into consider
alton the facilities, and the contingencies
of heat. cold, distance and transporta-
tion. The man to-day who has in an en-
inent degree all the aforesaid qualifica-
tions, from the mere force and advantage
Of the position he occupies, is the General
Manager of the Florida Fruit Exchange.
It is a large part of his duty to keep him
self informed on all such questions Par
ticularly to know where fruit is in the
greatest demand and where there may be
an over-supply: hence he is better able to
give his orders where and to whom to
ship the fruit consigned to his care, to be
sold at
AUCTION OR PRIVATE SALE?
The Florida Fruit Exchange atarecent
meeting of the Directors instructed the
General Manager, Mr.. Ives, to sell at

it's care during the season.

HOW BEST.

MARKETING ORANGES. WHERE AND
HOW BEST.
All are apparently simple questions,
yet each involves an unsolved problem
with elements of unknown quantities, and
how best to eliminate each is the question
at present occupying the attention of the
brightest minds of the most experienced
orange growers Of our State. Days,
weeks, months, and, in the aggregate,
years of time and scores of thousands of
dollars have been devoted and spent in
endeavoring to accomplish the solution
of these problems, simple as they appear.
Yet the work is not complete; the result
is far from satisfactory.
GREEN ORANGES.
"My oranges are always ripe when they
will net me, +. o. b. here, three dollars per
box"
So said a grower to the writer, who had
remarked that there was probably not a
box Of ripe oranges in the State.
The opinion quite generally prevails
that the grower has the moral, CONNER
cial and certainly the legal right to sell
his oranges whenever a buyer is ready to
take and pay for them.
At the last session of our legislature
our law makers established rule of act
ion to regulate the sale OF fertilizers in our
State, and the people said amen. 1t is
well-understood and admitted fact that
the shipping and selling of green fruit
breaks and lowers the price, hence pre-
vents the grower from realizing the full
value of his fruit. This being so, and we
admit the law to regulate the sale of fer
tilizers to protect the farmer as sound
and for the general welfare of the people,
the question naturally arises whether the
same power does not exist in the same
body to pass a law to regulate the sale
of fruit, and thereby prevent the placing
upon the market large quantity of un-
ripe fruit, and thus save the grower from
the loss of tens of thousands OF dollars?
Everyone has the right to sell his fruit
when and to whom he pleases, provided
the result does not iniure his neighbors.
Whenever that would occurhehas neither
the moral or legal right thus to sell.
''The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der" in these transactions as in others,
tends to protect and increase the general
welfare.

PICKING ORANGES.

It is not the purpose of the writer to
attempt the schOOlmaster on the subject
Of picking, vet perhaps he may be par
doned if he should stop by the way long
enough to caution the "new hands, not
to pick "drops" and oranges from the
tree to be shipped in the same box.
Again, oranges in full color may not
be sufficiently ripe to ship. 1t is well un-
derstood that green oranges will not ship
as far or safely as thoroughly ripe ones.
While picking much time may be saved
in sorting as to color.
Care should be taken in sorting as to
color, for as the season advances pine
land oranges may change from bright,
or even fancy, to golden russets. Last
season in the early shipping we did not
have two boxes of russets to thecarlOad,
vet after January we did not use the
stencils clancy" or "bright" but marked
all either golden russets or russets.

the treatment of the widows is even worse
tina that described in the above state
ments. Here the woman is often dragged
along with her husbands corpse to the
ere nation. She is pushed into the water
and made to stand there while the body is
burning. She comes home in her wet
clothes and she dare not change them. 1t
matters not if she be sick or whether the
weather be warm or cold. She sleeps in
these clothes for thirteen days and she is
prosecuted by all. l found here at Bombay
a statement of one of the Hindoo widows
from this part of India. 1t was translated
by an English lady and appeared in an
Indian newspaper. The following is an
extract from it:
Thousands of us die, but more live. l
saw woman di one of my own cousins.
She had been i'll before her husbands
death. When he died she was too weak and
Ill to be dragged to the river. She was in q
burning fever. Her mother-in-law called
a water carrier and had four large skins of
water poured over her as she laid on the
ground, where she had been thrown from
her bed when her husband died. The chill
Of death came upon her and in eight hours
she breathed her last. Everyone praised
her and said she died for the love of her
husband.
II knew an0tner woman VINO DID not
love her husband, for all their friends knew
they auarreled so much theg could not live
together. The husband died, and when the
news was brought the widow threw herself
from the roof and died She could not
bare the thought Of the degradation that
must follow. She was praised by all. = y =
The only difference for US since the
English have prevented US from burning
ourselves upon our husbands funeral pyres
is that we then die quickly, If cruelty, but
no, we die all our lives in lingering pain.
We are aghast at the number of widows
how is it that there are so many? 1t is be-
cause every man who died leaves one and
often more, and though thousands die more
live on
Notwithstanding all this there is, doubt
not,

as can see, much home life Is impossible

in mud nuts or in two or three rooms, the
walls of which are upholstered and unpa-

oil. The furniture is of the rudest descrip-
ton and the rooms are so small that the beds
are put outside the house during the day

their whole lives, going out only when it is
