h-sbe was about to answer when from

then the sound Of n bugle. The sounds
came from afar off, as II below the
cliff
They both stopped TO listen. Then
the servants came running, with MARI
ano at their head. They rushed TO the
wall and leaned over, all excitement.
Mariana turned to call to them over
his shoulder:
"The bandit Of Russia! The soldiers
think he is hidden in a grotto under
these cliffs"
AS he spoke Almeric ran down the
steps with a shotgun In his hand and
made for the steps leading down the

"Hellow he said.
"I wish TO present my guardian TO

approached. This is Mr.. st. Aubyn,"
she said steadily.
Almerlc stared at Pike through his
monocle and laughed.
"Why, it's the donkey man, isn't II?
How very odd! You'll have to see the
governor and our solicitor about that
settlement, though. I've some impor-

chasing a bally convict chap under the

me. You know there's nothing like a
little convict shooting to break the
blooming monotony-what?"
He turned and rushed of down the
stairway. Pike turned TO look after
him in mute astOnishment and then
turned to Ethel She refused to meet
his glance, and the hot blood rose to
her face as she felt his scrutiny.
She tapped nervously with her foot,
and the astonishment grew in Daniels
face. He looked from her to where Al
meric had disappeared and back to her
again. Then he took a step forward
as II to speak and stopped. Finally
the dawning horror In his face took
concrete form, and he spoke.
''ThGtF he groaned. Seven hun

The Plans For
The Proposed Jail.

If Escambia county is to have d
49, tn BuUW y
one is needed bad enough-the coun-
ty commissioners should call for new
plans and the acceptance of any plan
should be made in a business like
manner
The idea that a plan calling for a
work of this magnitude should be
adopted and the successful bidder
then be allowed to carry the plan
away with him is one of the most re-
markable situations that has ever
come under The Journals observa-
ton 1t is neither fair to the unsuc-
cessful bidders nor business-Hke on
the part of the commissioners.
The plan in the first place did not
conform to the advertisement calling
for jail plans because the advertise
ment put a limit of $75,OOO.OO as the
cost of the Jail and the plan adopted
by the board, and later carried away
by the architects, calls for a building
to cost SS5,OO0.00.
The county commissioners should
now do the thing over again and do
it right.

Alabarna's Reorganized
State Board of Trade.

Florida is in close touch physically
with Alabama, and this should result
IN similarity of thought and action by
the citizens of the two common
wealths. No doubt, therefore. the
following from The Birmingham
Ledger is calculated to have a
beneficial effect upon the business
men of Florida and serve as an in
centiye for action in a direction long
and earnestly advised by The Journal:
The reorganization of the Alabama
Commercial and Industrial association
affords opportunity for state efforts
where local efforts would not suffice.
The local commercial organizations
are now fused for statewide purposes.
In the past years this organization
has repealed bad laws and promoted
the passage of good laws, and it pro-
poses hereafter to watch vigiIantly
legislation. While it is doing this it

mon good in Alabama, and nothing
else

The people of the South have been

were many years behind the progress

selves they have almost come to be

IT is refreshing to hear. however.
from one of the best posted and most
Travelled men of this state, originally
from the North by the ways. that on
a recent trip he made through eleven
central western states, he became
thoroughly convinced that the South
shows much more enterprise and
progress than any state he visited.
As the gentleman is a large buyer

were confined to the country districts.
The prosperous farmer of those
states, he asserts, is the man who has
large capital invested in his industry.
and has a large acreage 70 cultivate
The small farmer is at a great dis
advantage when he is forced into
competition with his weaIthier neigh
Dor. just as is the small capitalist in
almost any other industry or other
section.
As a matter Of fact the small farms
in those states cannot be brought to a
condition where it can support a fam
first settlement
The difficulty of making both ends
meet has the usual result. either the
man loses ambition or he abandons
this effort for another.
Contrast a farm Of eighty acres in
that section producing possible
twenty-five dollar per acre per anuum
with what can be produced on the
much desired lands of Florida.
The northern farmer is compelled
to push his work to the utmost for
six or seven months a year 10 produce
his crops. For the remainder OF the
twelve months he is comparatively
idle so far as his ability to produce an
income goes.
Nothing need be said Of the discOm-
forts Of living in a climate where for
four OF five months the farmer is
practically housed up.
Now glance AT what you know of
d farmer I'm this section Of Florida. in
contrast with his northern brother.
One important point should be
IC-ed and impressed upon the mind.

ADDS ONE MONTH TO
SALOON KEEPERS TIME

Editor Pensacola Journal:
At the last meeting of the city
council an ordinance was read to
change the closing hour of saloons
from nine o'clock to ten. Only two
votes were cast against the ordi-
nance. At the next meeting, on the
9th Of this month the bill will come
UP for final vote
If this measure becomes a law. it
will give the salOOn-keepers an in
crease of six hours per week to car
ry on their business. There are
tifty-twO weeks in a year. This
means three hundred and twelve
hours, or twenty-six days, Just one
months business added to the saloon
keepers year. Now multiply this
by the number Of saloons in the city,
and you will see what the passage
of this ordinance means to the
whiskey trade.
OF course the city council, being
good business men, will refuse to do
nate such a plum to the saloon keep
ers for nothing The saloon men are
not objects of charity The taxpayers
of the city and county will demand
that the whiskey license be increased
in proportion to the increased profits
Of the business. Police expenses
viii be heavier. arrests for drunken
ness will increase. and more money
viii be needed to defTay these eX-
penSes.

NAL turned loose on the streets. The

The L. & N. Railroad
And West Florida.

The Journal is glad to publish today
a letter from {. c. Packard, publisher
of The North. and South, regarding
his own and the work of the L. & N
railroad in advertising West Florida.
Mr.. Packard's letter was ELECTED BY
The Journals comment on the report
ed intention of the l. & n. railroad 10
make the Florida East Coast a special
objective point for tourist travel this
winter. The Journals comment was
an inquiry as to what the l.. & y.
proposed doing for West Florida and
how soon it expected to make Pen
sacoIa-its chief terminal point
something more. in its time tables and
maps and train service, than a mere
way station between F1OmatOn and
River Junction.
Mr. Packard with his North and
South has done a splendid work IN
describing the resources and attrac-
lions of Pensacola and West Florida.
The immigration department of the
railroad has contributed to Mr.. Pack
ards work by circulating his publ
cation. Whether the L. & n. helped
bear any of the cost of production or
not is a matter of which we have no
knowledge, but giving it credit for
everything which Mr.. Packard says OF
it, what then?
Pensacola still has no through train
service to or from anywhere. She is
still advertised in the time tables as
a way station. No tourist or other
traveller can get into or out of West
Florida without changing cars at Flo
matOn, Montgomery, or somewhere
else
With all of the advertising that Mr.
Packard has done for this section
and that the railroad company has
circulated, the prospective settler who
does come here finds a four-Cent
passenger rate in existence all over
the great territory OF West Florida
from Pensacola to River Junction. It
is one of the very few lines of rail-
road in the United States where a
four cent rate exists 1t is the only
railroad system in Florida where such
rate is in effect.
And whether or not the L. & n.
proposes to pack the East Coast re-
sorts with tourists from the north
and west this winter, We should still
like to know what it intends to do for
Pensacola and West Florida.
