The ranchmen told them that a wing
advancing from the northwest, with
Barado himself in command. and that
scouts from the governments ranks
had been in the vicinity within the
last Is hours. He confidently be-
lieved that a decisive battle would be
fought, probably near the forest which
had afforded them refuge. This move
by BaradJ had been anticipated by the
strategists Of the other side.
Pilaro and Marina talked excitedly
for long time, and. although their
words did not reach Jerry's ears. he
believed that he was pleading with
her. At last. as though unconscious
OF Jerry's presence. the captain en-
braced her and kissed her repeatedly
I'VE are going TO wait for Barado,"
said Marina, her eyes dancing with
excitement. MY captain has opened
my eyes to the reality. We are going

gasped ...

Jerry sprang to his feet, and so great
was his excitement and so startling
his full-born hope that he scarcely felt
the sharp twinge of pain in the leg.
"Seel" he cried in a whisper; Il

help me to escape?'
Yes: but for Gods sake, make no

Marina tiptoed to the door where
she stood in absolute silence for al

ears and to Jerry's low whistle.

At the captains word the horses
were whipped into the stream, through
which they splashed and struggled to
the other side. Just as the horses
reached the narrow path that was to

miles away three shots rang out in
rapid succession at the camp.
"Fly-fiy with your might. my cap

The editor of The True Democrat was
attracted to Florida by the fame Of its
climate. A years residence has con-
convinced him that no State in the I'm
ion can surpaSs it in healthfulness and
general excellence, and if the people IN
the less salubrious sections Ofthe eoun-
try could be appraised Of its advantages,
every acre Of available land would be
tenanted and titled.
In regard to the climate Of Western
Florida, the Pensacola Journal says:
Now that it is all over, here in Flori-
da we can unanimously look forward
without any division on party lines to
our great tourist season, near at hand,
and merge all our joys and sorrOws in
the contemplation of those months when
Florida is the bright particular star in
the constellation Of States. Elections
may come and elections may 60, but our
incompatible winter climate stays put.

There are beautiful lawns surround
