was not asleep. No; the men were certain,ly
there, and they were proceeding to bury tne
pot they had brought from the house; AS
they did so, they cast atfrighted giances
around and looked at the cabin with whitening
faces.
When the work was finished, they carefully
smoothed the sand over the place and strewed
1T with bits of sticks and grass to give 1t ds
natural an appearance as possible. Then tney
hurried away, and were soon lost to view IN
the pine woods

Davy, peering above the fence to make sure
they We're gone. What they done that fer
an wher' they're a-goin' is more'n know
Dayy was not sure that he ought to disturb
the buried pot, but he could not resist the
temptation to take look at it. So he scran-
bled over the fence.
As he neared the cabin be heard groan
1t seemed to come from the ground. Davy
dropped the broken spade.
oh Lor', they've gone an buried some
body"
Davy's croak was almost shrek
Again he heard the groan. This time it
certainly came from the cabin.
But there was something of sturdy manli
ness about Davy, for, in spite of his fears and
his great desire to run, he passed around the
cabin until he reached the door. 1t was ajar
u uSI as nc uOClCtu bulS, dnOJ0cf RTOdn came
from the interior. The groan was followed
by culver of sobs.
"It jes' can't be sperits," Davy asserted, in
an endeavor to strengthen his courage That
courage was at a very low ebb now, and great
ly needed strengthening 1T jes' can't be!
Sperits wouldn't take on so."
"Oh, this air awful"
The words, hollow and wailing, came from
within the cabin.
s'Won't some 'un come ter help me?"
This was followed by muttered prayer
Tortoise-like, Davy thrust his head through
the doorway and surveyed the little room it
was as he had seen it last, except that in one
corner there was a bundle Of clothing on
which was stretched the tossing and restless
form of boy of about his own age.
The sight drove the superstitious mists from
Davy's brain. He flung the door wide open
and stepped into the cabin. However much
he might be afraid of "sperits," he was not
afraid of a sick boy-and this boy was evi-
IDENTIFY very sick.
AS Davy's footsteps sounded on the rotting
floor. the boy lifted his head and stared at
him with hollow, burning eyes.
''Who be your questioned Davy, drawing
back step.
To his surprise, the boys head dropped up
ON the coat that served as pillow and began

to sob weakly and childishly Then he lifted
his head again.

Davy wizened face became as white, as
ashes. His hand shook as he grssped the door
latch, and he seemed on the point OF light

knew how it was ravaging Jacksonville, anu
for weeks he had heard of nothing else The
land was filed with fugitives who could scarce
ly gain admission or help anywhere These
thoughts now oppressed and choked him.
The illiterate class, to which Davy belonged,
usually became panic-stricken in the presence
of this scourge. Many, overwhelmed by fear,
had deserted those most closely connected to
them by ties of kinship.
Don't leave me. please!" urged the boy, as
Davy halted irresolutely.
A sudden high resolve animated Davys soul.
Under its influence his form seemed to expand
and his face to grow beautiful. A frult-can,
evidently recently emptled, lay on the Hoor
r"I'n git yer some water if die fer it, he
declared, picking up the can and hurrylng from
the cabin.
There was little pond not far away, the
sand showing in its clear depths, as Is COM
monty the case in Florida ponds.
Filling the can with the luke-warm water,
he hurried back. Then kneeling by the boys
side. he lifted the fevered head and held The
can to the parched lips. The boy drank greed

"You must be angel" he whispered, as
Davy arranged the coat more comfortably, and
gently lowered his head.

The men had coarse, heavy faces, and were
roughly dressed. They were shivering, but
whether from the effects of the damp fog or

were little muddled, he was not at all sure
that these were real men.

A monotous, soaking rain had been falling.
The pine needles were all adrip, and the gray,
funeral Spanish moss swayed dismally.
An instant later, the whole was lighted as

Injunction Dismissed.

To all Elks and Friends,
Greeting:-We, Rice Lodge No. 80, |.
b. P. o. E. of the World, are proud to
say to you, that, the so called, "Injunc-
tion," of one w. A. Rice, against our no.
BILE band of true hearted Elks, was
failure in Division A, of the district
court, on Monday May 25th.
The court ruled that Mr.. Rice had no
case and instructed the clerk of the
court to strike it from the trial calender.
So do not be misled by any of Mr.. Rices
circulars or other papers, he b been,
or is handing around among you and
misrepresenting our noble order. Rice
Lodge No. 80 has increased both in
membership and in loyalty to our order
since Mr.. Rice started his fight which
shows very plainly that he has very
few followers and sympathizers. We
have taken in many applicants during
our present dispensation which expires
June 18th by that time, we expect
many more.
The ladies brunch is progressing very
rapidly regardless of Mr.. Rice and his
fruitless attempt to prevent their set
ting up.

That Old Ham Bone.

This need not be thrown away just
because you have taken off all the
slices. When you cannot get any
more apparently scrape every yes
tige of lean and fat from the
bone. Chop fine and put in a baking
dish. Add a layer of bread crumbs.
then another layer of the meat, and SO
on, until all is used. Pour over it
little water and set in oven till nicely
Drowned. q
Even the bone itself need not be
thrown away. Crack we'll and let
simmer for three hours. Add some
rice, a Glove or two, few celery
leaves (dried or fresh), and any
vegetables, raw or cooked, that you
happen to have in the pantry. So the
ham will have done yet another faith
full service, for the combination of the
savory soup, and the delicate baked
ham, will make an appedzing and
wholesome dinner

CHICKEN IN NEW STYLES.
Try the Fowl Stewed with cocoanut
or with Dough.

Chicken with Cocoanqt.-Stew a
chicken and remove the bones. Crate
cocoanut and cover it with water
for ten minutes; strain it and add
more water. This again should be
strained through a bag of coarse
cheesecloth, and the rich liquor re-
sulting-about a pint-added to the
chicken. Cook slowly a few minutes
and thicken with two tablespoonfuls
of flour mixed smoothly in cold water,
one-half teaspoonful salt, and three
teaspoonfuls of tumeric powder. Let
all "ook up with the chicken, then lay
it on platter surrounded by boiled
rice and covered partly with gravy.
Chicken Stewed with Dough.-An-
other method is to mix spices, raisins,
salt and butter through some partly
boiled rice, and with it dress the
chicken, then wrap it in dough rolled
pretty thick and boil it in a cloth,
not too tight, for half day.
East Indian Pillau of Fowl.-For
this is required one chicken, dressed
as for boiling, and three cups of rice.
Put the fowl in stewpan with one
and half pints of broth and some
spices tied in bit of muslin. These
spices may consist of two cloves, a
wide stick of cinnamon, two dozen
cardamons, and one-half teaspoonful
each of coriander seed, mace, and all
spice-quantity and combination regu-
lated to taste. Cook these with the
fowl 20 minutes slowly. Place one
quarter of a pound of butter in a fry
ing pan with one sliced onion, one
dozen raisins, and some blanched al
monds; fry till brown and strain.
In the butter remaining fry the rice
until brown. Strain off the butter, anu
by degrees add the broth until the
rice is tender, then put it with the
chicken and cook until it is nearly
dry. Remove the spices and serve
the fowl smothered in the rice, gar
nishing with the fried raisins and al
monds, and, if liked, some hard boiled
eggs and crisp slices of bacon.

TWO RECIPES FOR EGGS.
5eaureeard and Japanese Are Both
Recommended Dishes.

Beauregard Eggs.-Hard boil five
eggs. Remove the shells; separate
the whites from the yolks. Put the
yolks through sieve; chop the whites
fine or put them through a vegetable
press. Rub a tablespoon of butter
and one of flour together; add half
pint of milk and stir until boiling;
add half teaspoonful of salt, salt
spoon of pepper, and the whites of the
eggs Stand this over hot water while
you toast five slices of bread Ar
range them neatly on platter. Pour
over the white mixture, dust over this
the yolks and little salt and pepper.
Stand a moment at the oven door and.
after the yolks are warm send to the
table
Japanese Eggs.-Hard boil six eggs
and boil carefully one cup of washed
rice. When the rice is done drain in
colander and stand in the oven to.
dry. Remove the shells and cut the
eggs into halves crosswise; take out
the yolks; rub thin, adding gradually
four boneless sardines, half a tea
spoonful of salt, saltspoonful of pep
per, and two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter or olive oil. Roll the mixture
into balls and put into the space from
which the yolks are taken. Take of
little of the convex end of the whites
SO that they will stand. Put the rice
in the center of platter, making il
fiat, like little plateau. Stand the
eggs down in the rice; pour over them
half pint of cream or tomato sauce
and serve
