all some of their land, and in that
way and in the other ways l aimed
to help others help themselves. After
two or three years, having got things
in what seemed to be good shape, and
being engaged in a large manufacture
ing business (saleratus, soda, baking
powder, etc., at Fairport N. Y, |
did not come here for two or three
years. Things did not go ahead here
fast enough to suit me and l thought
that could do more good here direct
ly and indirectly than | could at Fair
port, N. Y, so | concluded to sell out
my business at Fairport, that had been
paying me from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, and to give my undivided atten-
ton to making this a religious, educa-
tiOna1 business and social center.
For these purposes | have been
coming here and working when absent
as well when here for fourteen years,
and nearly all that | have done or not
done, right or wrong, has been in and
for the interest of DeLand and those
concerned therein more than in the
interests of H. A. DeLand. From
the first and all along l had a fixed
purpose to give all the money | could
make here to the schools, churches,
etc, here, and to keep only the
amount | had made before | ever
saw Florida | have done all that and
much more l have given to DeLand
and Florida and the regions around
about fully fifteen solid years of the
best part of my life all the money |
ever made in Florida, and nearly all
of the money l made in the long, sue
cessful years before | ever came to
Florida If | have therein done any
good, set in motion any waves Of
influence that have or will do GOOD

and their wives who then lived out

Young, intelligent, cultured and enter
prising. | thought what first class
nucleus these people constitute for
town. During my stay with Capt.
Rich | enjoyed the luxury of sleeping
on the floor, where | could put my
hand out between the logs. Capt Rich
and his charming wife made me feel
at home, and gave me lots of fried
chicken, and in every way were most
hospitable. While at Capt. R1ch'S
cabin home | met Fred HampsOn and
his wife Hampson had entered the
homestead next east of Capt Rich S
on which the Putnam House now
stands at the southwest corner and
the College Arms at the southeast
corner. | bought out Hampson, and
he and his wife returned to Brook
Ign, N. Y, and that same year were
both burned to death in a theatre fire
of which some of you may remember.
While at Capt Rich's he invited to his
forest home the few settlers that were
located within to or three miles OF
them, some ten or twelve people in all.
We had a most delightful visit, and
while there it was remarked that there
ought to be a postoffice nearer than
Beresford, and the question asked,
what shall we call it, some one said

means If you have a competence, no
matter how small, you can live IN
Florida for less money and in better
form than you can in the North. One
hundred dollars will go as far here
as two hundred dollars in the North.
Pensioned soldiers in large numbers
find here a haven of rest and many
have declared that they are certain
that their years have been heightened
from ten to twenty years.
Those who own and run fruit farms
in the North are specially suited to
come here and establish an orange
grove and return to their Northern
home in the spring. The work of
orange culture is such that all the i'm
portant work may be done between
November Ist and April Ist. Plant
ing of trees from the nursery is done
as ar ule between December Ist., and
March Ist. All the fertilizing may be
done by April Ist, and a contract
made with some reliable neighbor to
give the trees three, four or five Guilt
vatings every three weeks. If the
trees are of bearing size the picking
may begin in November and con-
tinue daily through December, Janu-
airy, February and March. Or the
oranges may be sold on the
trees at a specified sum per box
and the grower give all his
attention to blowing, fertilizing, mend
this way the fruit grower may use
his time proftably, and have an in
come at both ends of the line. This
is now being done by a number OF
gardeners and fruit growers. One
peach and small fruit grower on Long
Island, N. Y, comes to Florida every
December Ist, and cares for his or
ange grove until April Ist, and then
returns to Long Island. Others work,
one as a matchmaker in Vermont, dur
ing the summer, and raises toma-
toes and eggplant in Florida during
the winter Just south of here there
are a number of celery raisers who
occupy themselves in various ways in
the North during the summer.
AS to cost, a round-trip by steamer
from New York to DeLand and return
will cost, for hrst-class passage about
$40, if in groups of ten or more. By
rail, special low rates are given by
the railroads for home-seekers at given
periods, and it is probable that there
will be still lower rates in the future.
When you consider that the cost of
the round-trip will not pay for COM
plete outfit of winter clothing, let
alone your coal bill. you can clearly
see the economy.
You can find swamps in Florida,
and malaria, its concomitant evil; but
there are probably over thirty mil
lions of acres that are high, dry and
perfectly healthful. Come to DeLand
and examine our conditions, and then
compare it with other places. We
will be satisfied with your decision.

T don't know whose horse you are. even, q where you are taking me-" he said. They went down . long lane and came at length to barway, and Trove crawled through.
 He saw near him a great white house, one he had never seen before and beautiful lady in the doorway. He turned toward her, and 1t seemed . long journey to the door, although he knew 1t was only few paces. He fell heavily on the steps, and the women gave little cry of alarm. She came quickly and bent over him. His clothes were torn, his face pale and haggard. his eyes closed.
 T am sick" he whispered faintly.
 Theron! Theron! Come here! Sid. ney is sick!' he heard her calling.
 ''Is it you, mother?" the boy whis- pered, feeling her face. ''I thought 1t was great white mansion here and that you-that you were an angel"

 T hadn't thought of that"
 "Ah, thine is the dial of eternity, mine that O time" And so he greeted all and sat down. filling his pipe
 Now, Weston, out with the merry fddle," said he. "an' see it gives us happy thoughts"

 'Well, a man shot me there."
 "Ap' what for?' the tinker inquired.
 'I was telling him story. It cured me. Do you carry a gunT'
 ''I do not. sor."
 "Waal, then, I'll tell you about the man work for"
 Funk, who had been outside the door in his best clothes, but who, since he put them on, had looked as if he doubt ed the integrity of his suspenders and would not come in the house, began to laugh loudly.
 ''That man Funk can see the comedy in all but himself" was Trove's thought as he returned with a smile of amusement.
 Soon Trove and Polly came out and stood by the lilac bush at the gate.
 You worry me, Sidney Trove,' said she, looking off at the moonlit fields.
 C,1 f,,ll of things like the silences of their first meeting there by the same gate long ago. This one. however. had vibra- tion that seemed to sting them.
 T am sorry," said he with sigh.
 Another silence in which the heart of the girl was feeling for the secret in his.
 You are so sad, so different" she whispered. ...
 Polly waited full half a minute for his answer. Then she touched her eyes with her handkerchief, turned impa- tiently and went halfway to the door. Darrel caught her hand, drawing her near him.
 Give me thy hand, boy" said he to Trove, now on his way to the door.
 He stood with his arms around the two.
 Every shadow hath the wings O light" he whispered. Listen"
 The house rang with laughter and the music of Money Musk"
 "sTis the golden bell of happiness" said he presently. "Go an ring it. Nay-first kiss.'
 He drew them close together, and they kissed each others lips and with smiling faces went in to join the dance.

 Behold the robberw said he.
 You know who is the robberr Trove inquired.
 Darrel raised the handkerchief and flung 1t back upon his head.
 "'Tis Roderick Darrell" said he, his hand now on the shoulder of the young man.
 For moment both stood looking into each others eyes.
 What joke is this, my friendr' Trove whispered.
 .T speak not lightly, boy. If where ye thought were honor an good faith there be only guilt an shame. can ye believe in goodnessy'
 For his answer there were silence and the ticking of the clocks.
 Surely ye can an will" said the old man. flor there Is the goodness O thy own heart. An. boy. though I have 1t not. remember that loved honor an have sought to All thee with it. This night I go where ye cannot follow"

 "In part, yes. There's one bill that puzzles them. It's that of an old bank In New York city that failed years ago and went out of business"
 Then moment of silence and that sound of the clocks. like footsteps of [ passing caravan. some slow and heavy, some quick, as if impatient to be gone.
 ''Ye speeding seconds!" said Darrel as he crossed to the bench. "Still thy noisy feetr'
 Then he walked up and down, think. ing.
 The friend of Sidney Trove put on his hat and stood by the door.
 Don't forget" said he; you have many friends or I should not be able to tell you these things. Keep them to yourself and go to work. Of course you will be able to prove your inno- cence.'
 T thank you with all my heart" said ,Trove.
 Aye; twas friendly the old man remarked, taking the boys hand.
 T have to put my trust in Funk, the poor liarv said Trove when they were alone. y

 "No,' Darrel answered quickly. Were ye drowning ye might as well lay hold of straw. Trust in thy hon. or; 1t is enough"
 Let's go and see Polly" said the young man.
 Aye, she O the sweet heart" said the tinker. ''We'll go at once"
 They left the shop, and on every street they travelled there were groups of men gossiping. Some nodded, others turned away, as the two passed. Dick Roberts met them at the door of the house where Polly boarded.
 q wish to see Miss Vaughn" said Trove coolly.
 "She is ill.," said Roberts.
 Could not see her for a moment?" Trove inquired.
 No"
 ''Is she very sick?"
 "Very."
 Darrel came close to Roberts. He looked sternly at the young man. z Boy" said he, with great dignity, his long forefnger raised, within a day ye shall be clothed with shame" They were strange words,' Trove thought. as they walked away in si- lence, and when they had come to the little shop it was growing dusk.
 What have done to bring this up on me and my friendsY' said Trove, sinking into chair.
 Tt is what I have done," said Dar- rel ian now I take the mantle O thy shame. Rise, boy, an hold up thy head" MISS
 The old man stood erect by the side of the young man.

v term. Troye had gone to his { old lodgings at Hillsborough, and Polly was boarding in the village, for she, too, was now in the uphill road to higher learning. None save Darrel, who gave her the young mans money, knew his secret-that he was paying her board and tuition, unknown to her. The thought of it made him most happy, but now seeing her every day had given him a keener sense of that which had come between them. He sat much in his room and had little heart for study. It was cozy room now. His landlady had hung rude pic lures on the walls and given him rag carpet. On the table were pieces of clear quartz and tourmaline and about each window frame odd nests of bird or insect, souvenirs of wood life and his travel with the drove There, too. on the table were mementos of that first day of his teaching. the mirror spectacles with which he had seen at once every corner of the schoolroom, the slung shot and bar of iron he had taken from the woodsman Leblanc.
 One evening of his first week at Hillsborough that term Darrel came to sit with him awhile.
 An what are these?" said the tinker at length, his hand upon the shot and iron.
 T do not know"
 Dear boy" said Darrel. they're from the kit of a burglar, an how came they here?'
 ''I took them from Louis Leblanc" said the young man. who then told of his adventure that night
 Louis Leblancr' exclaimed Darrel. The scamp an his family have cleared out"
 The tinker turned quickly. his hand upon the wrist of the young man.
