He was half way down the steps, and
as he paused and turned toward her she
impulsively turned and threw the card
at his feet He stopped wonderingly and,
raising it, held it up to the light.
1t was the five of hearts.
'Nell!'' he cried springing up the
steps.
A sudden flutter of nervousness swept
over her, and, with a throb of fear, she
slammed the door tight; but he knocked
heavily against the panels.
"Nell-Nell, open! What do you
mean?'
The door did not move.
''Sweetheart!''
Then there was a little uncertain turn
ing of the knob, and a crack of light ap-
peared. Crushing through it, he caught
the slight, trembling form in his arms.
''Nell-Nell-what do you mean?"

cally from her lips, II mean-that 1 want

Wesley M. Featherly has sold his
interest in the East Coast Publishing
Company, publishers of the Miami
Metropolis, to the firm of Robbins
Graham & Co., which company will
continue to publish that paper, with
Walter S. Graham as editor.

granted charter to the company for
the purpose of dredging the St. Johns

t. A. Winfield, of Little River, who,
last fall, purchased new piece of
land at Miami, clearing up something
like two acres for tomatoes, reports
that he has met with splendid success
thus far and will enlarge his crop this
fall. He reported that the acreage
of tomatoes in the Lemon City section
will be much greater next winter than
it was during the past winter.

important sale is that of Mr.. John III.

go north for a new start. He was the

TOPEKA FILTERED NEWS.

The Lawrence Journal in commenting
unon the character of the news sent
down on the bobtail accommodation
from Topeka, by the special correspond
ents of the Kansas City papers, OBJ
serves that the stuff would put to the
blush the intrigues of the courts OF Eu-
rope for plots and counterplots ana
damnabIe political conspiracies. Our
contemporary is right. Yet, but for
Kansas. those Kansas City papers
would starve TO death. To the end or
getting Kansas news they employ the
brightest men they can find and keep
them at Topeka for the purpose OF
rounding up the news. There being no
news of interest. these writers are com
nelled to put their wits to work in max
ing mountains out of mole hills, or
otherwise give up their situations. As
romance, as something in the way OF
nothing, Kansas state news, filtered
through Topeka, for Kansas City pa
pers. takes the cake. The Jim Crow no
bodies who are made TO play the import
ant roles of dignitar'es, the ordinary po-
litical scalawags who figure as adopts
end experts, the bumnrerS that are met
amorphized into statesmen Of great
parts. make the ordinary head swim.
But all it costs is the salary of the writ
err. The bobtail train does the rest. IL
it accomplishes no other good, it fills
space, and the stuff can do no harm
because no intelligent man pins any
faith TO it, he waiting for more relia-
bic sources for the real facts, where any
facts of Importance are involved, which
is seldom.

IDENTIFY all piece Of worldly and unwor-
thy rivalry, and the worst OF 1t is the
whole world has had its attention call
ed to the TN hristian-like attitude OF
body of Christians par excellence.
While on the subject, there are some
other pat reflections called out by this
great gathering. Times are hard and
money close. but not for conscience
sake. The Endeavorers have been en-
deayoring to have good time, and they
are realizing on their investment. Never
did jollier crowd, outside of the con-
tingent referred TO, essay the transcon-
tinental trip. San Francisco, the New
Jerusalem of the New World, so far as
a matchmaking number of Hebrews
can make it so, is alive with Christian
delegates from every state in the Union.
About 10000 young persons scraped up
money enough to buy railroad tickets
to take them from their various homes
to San Francisco, where they can sing
gospel songs, pray with one another.
and compare notes on the status OF
their mutual religious society. In adj
dition to the money required to buy
transportation, they will also have
money to buy hotel accommodations
and to pay for seeing Golden Gate at
fractions.
1t is within reasonable limits to es-
innate that each delegate to the En-
deavor convention will spend 500.
Probably 5000 would be nearer the act
ual cost. But placing it at half that
amount. of 500 each, the total outlay
would approximate $2,O00,O00. That is
a large sum of money to be expended
for pleasure. OF course there are
practical returns TO be had from the
convention, but the average delegate
banks more on the pleasure and enter
tainment secured than on the practical
benefits realized.
The delegates as rule are not from
families of wealth, but represent the
middle and working classes. The
money they spend is money earned in
prosecuting various enterprises or is
got by them in the form of wages.
They are not poor persons, but they
earn their livelihoods in the sweat of
their faces and do not coddle down in
the lap of luxury. They are religious
enthusiasts. but not fanatics and give
I'D their money for religious pleasures
and to promote piety.
The interesting thing about them is
that they have the money to spend on
this pilgrimage. We have been told
by the calamity press that there Is not
enough money in circulation TO pay
for the bread the people need to keep
from starving. and yet we see 10000
young Christians assembled in San
Francisco, where they will spend over
100000 for nothing more tangible
than transitory pleasure. If money
were as scarce as the calamity papers
say it is, how in the name of sense
could the people spend so many millions
for pleasure and amusement?
