street. Women in white gowns strolled

walks because at first it is only the mar
rowness that impresses itself-the church,

you in at intervals with long stretches of
garden wall. But between garden walls
and beenath balconies there passed the
daily procession, coming from the old
Spanish gates or turning in from the
plaza. 1t was white hanneled, with bright
sunshades, an idle, sauntering throng be-
meath Seville sky, with royal palms
etched against it, palms and the Moorish
towers of st. Augustine

meant Havana and Nassau.

hallucination that someone was after him
to kill him. Apparently he had not been

handcuffed with his hands behind his
back. Even then he writhed on the floor.
He was loaded into the wagon and taken
to the county Jail, where he was locked up
in the padded cell and at once went into
a deep sleep. When he awakened yeSter-
