AFTERNOON.
The climax of the days program
was tie great wrestling match that
was called promptly at two o'clock.
The combatants were Mr.. Miller. a
native Of Germany. and Mr.. Jack Mac
ntosh, representative of the land
OF Bobby" Burns.
These gentlemen are trained ath-
letes and wrestle according to the
rules governing in such cases.
An elevated stage had been erected
50 that everyone could have an unob-
structed view. No one was disap-
pointed. Each Of the combatants were
giants in strength and showed their
proves in a remarkable degree. To
show ,nat there was no taking in
their trial OF strength great beads of
perSpiration poured from them the
same as # they had taken a plunge in
the Atlantic and had just emerged
from the depths.
After three unsuccessful efforts the
contest was called a draw"
\ nice little boxing match between
Mr.. Miller's clever little boys, who
have been thoroughly trained by their
father, next amused the crowds and
were given repeated encOres.
The next drawing card was the ball
game between the Leesburg nine and
the Ocala ball team, and the Area
dias and the Ocalas. The Leesburg-
ers came up on a special train and
were in high hopes of victory as they
had on a previous occasion closed
Ocala out by a score of Z to 0. But
this time Ocala paid them back in
their own coin, winning a victory
over them by a score of 9 to 0.
A full history of the two games viii
be found in another column.
We will say here, however, that the
game beteween Leesburg and Ocala
was the prettiest ever seen in this
city, and had the largest number Of
spectators ever seen at a ball game
here.

bewitchingly at the men beneath. The
camera In her hands added a holiday
aspect to her appearance. an aspect
which was unutterably disquieting in
its relation to the muttered forebod-
ings she had broken in on.

hope they are bit scared of us. We

hail them, as he can speak their Ian
guage. Perhaps he does not wish them
to know he is on board?'
Now. Elsie had heard the mans I'M
passioned appeal when the Indians
were first sighted, so Courtenay felt
that she. too, was acting.
A new direction was given to Elsie's
| thoughts by the somewhat scowling
aspect of Christobals face. He was
looking at Courtenay In a manner
which betokened certain Nspleasure.
The Spaniard's cultivated cynicism
was subjugated by more powerful
sentiment. 1t seemed to Elsie that he
envied Courtenay his youth and high
spirits.
Elsie dared not meet Courtenay's
eyes. A flood of understanding had
/, suddenly poured its miraculous waters
over her. Incidents unimportant in
themselves. utterances which seemed
to have no yelled intent at the time.
rushed In upon her with overwhelming
conviction. The middle aged physician
suspected her Of flirting with Courte-
nay and disapproved Of 1t as strongly
as she herself had condemned Isobeps
admitted efforts in the same direction.
The proceedings of the Indians put a
stop to any further conversation. The
canoe had drifted closer to the ship.
1t was about eighty yards distant when
the Indian who was on his feet sud
denly whirled a sling and sent stone
crashing through the window Of the
music room. The heavy missile, which
when picked up was found to weigh
nearly half a pound, just missed Tolle-
mache.

They changed its course with q dex-
