CHAPTER I-contlnued.

~
''Be seated, Captain Plum; right
over there-opposite me. So!'
He continued for a moment to
smooth out the creases in the letter
and then proceeded to read it with as
much assurance as though it's owner
were Thousand miles away instead
Of within arms reach of him. Cap
tain Plum was dumbfounded. He felt
the hot blood rushing to his face and
his first impulse was to recover the
crumpled paper and demand some
thing more than an explanation In
the next instant it occurred to him
that this action would probably spoil
whatever possibilities his nights adj
venture might have for him. So he
held his peace. The old man was SO
intent in his perusal of the letter that
the end of his hooked nose almost
scraped the table. He went over the
dim, partly obliterated words line by
line, chuckling now and then, and APP
parently utterly oblivious of the 9th
er's presence. When he had come to
the end he looked up, his eyes glitter
ing with unbounded satisfaction, care
fully folded the letter, and handed it
to Cantain Plum.
That's the best introduction in the
world. Captain Plum-the very best!
Ho, holt couldn't be better. I'm
glad found it" He chuckled gleeful-
y, and rested his ogreish head in the
palms of his skeleton-like hands, his
elbows on the table. $50 you're going
back home soon?"
Il haven't made up my mind yet.

out his pipe and tobacco. you've read
the letter pretty carefully. guess.
What would you do?''
Vermont" questioned the old man
shortly.
That's It,
Well, I'd go, ard very soon, Cap
tain Plum, very soon, indeed. Yes, I'd
hurry!" The old man jumped up with
the quickness of cat. So sudden
was his is movement that it startled Cap
tain Plum. and he dropped his tobac-
co pouch. By the time he had recov-
cred this article his strange compan-
ION was back in his seat again holding
. leather bag In his hand. Quickly
he united the knot at its top and
poured q torrent Of glittering gold
pieces out upon the table.
Business business and gold" he
gurgled happily, rubbing his thin
hands and twisting his fingers until
they cracked. IA pretty sight, eh, Cap
tain Plum? Now, to our account! A

After having caused CONSERVATION
among the passengers on the train be-

here at $3.50 p. m, and having become
so violent at one time that 1t was
necessary for the conductor and flag
man to remove her from a coach and
hold her in her seat, Beulah Rivers. a
station last night Immediately after the
arrival Of the train in this city. She
was turned over to Officers Hall and
Anderson by the conductor and flag
man.
Is Sne White, Or Is She Not2
The main question that Is confront
ing the police department and others
interested in the case is as to whether
or not Beulah Rivers IS a white woman.
To all appearances she is certainly as
white as anybody and when she left
Mobile yesterday afternoon she was in
the first-class car. Nevertheless, after
she got to the JAIL she stated to the
desk sergeant that her husband was a
negro and that her home was in Pen
sacola. After she was placed in a cell
she raved about religion, but at inter
walls she could be heard to exclaim: 81
married a niger" When she was
asked as to whether or not she was a
negro no information could be obtained
from her, all she would answer being
something about calling her father and
asking him.
The city physician examined the
woman last night, but said that he
could not tell until later whether or not
she is insane. He said that while the
box in which the only drugs found on
her person were carried were perfectly
h TT11laSS far ''Hnnp' &c =

ton of the contents and that as far as
he knew, the preparation carried by
the woman was perfectly harmless
However, more satisfactory examina-
ton will be made today.

That part Of ST. Michaers cemetery
known as the lower part, or the old
historical spot which has been hidden
from view for many years by high
weeds, shrubbery and trash of all kinds
and descriptions, is presenting an alto
gether different appearance and If the
work which is being done there now to
put in shape the grounds is allowed to
continue, that spot which tells the his
torical story Of Pensacola will not be a
disgrace to the city any longer.
Yesterday afternoon Journal repre-
sentative happened to pass along that
section Of the city and was impressed
with the change in the appearance of
the southern half of the historical
cemetery where lie the bones of the
Pensacolians of years ago.
All of the heavy shrubbery and
weeds have been removed and work is
being done to clear away the smaller
underground. Piles of brickbats are
here and there which were scattered
over the surface of the ground.
Whiskey bottles and beer bottles which
tell of the rendezvous of the gambling
and drunkard crowds who had no re-
spect for the resting place of the dead,
have been gathered and put in piles to
be hauled away.
Ladies' Committee.
Mrs. Toblin and the ladies' commit
tee have the work in hand and are put
ting forth every effort to have the
southern part of St Michaers present
respectable appearance. Already
water pipes have been placed through
the grounds and some half dozen
faucets have been provided.
When the underbrush is removed it
is found that there is no regularity
among the graves. Some are crowded
al fr1fn OIL Of
have fallen in and present a shocking
and neglected appearance. A nearly
complete record of the graves is at
hand and some of the descendants of
the dead ones are cooperating with
the ladies and either provide the funds
with which to do the work or send a
workman to attend to individual lots,
while others will do neither and the
ladies cannot, or rather do not feel that
it is their place to attend to such
graves or lots.
Much Work To Do.
The Journal man found Capt. Grant
with two other men at work in the
cemetery and Capt Grant showed him
| what she was doing under the super
vision of Mrs. Tobin sId the ladies'
committee. Work is not alone being
done on the lower part Of the ceme-
| terry. the upper part also being in q
neglected condition. The walks are

the high places cut down. High weeds

everyone in Pensacola should feel a
personal interest in the plot of ground
where are buried the people Of many
nations and Of every known creed and
belief.
However, there are family lots, the
head-boards or tombstones telling the
identity, where the graves have fallen
in, where brush is piled and where
weeds have grown up and have only
recently been cut. In some instances
the descendants of these people daily
ride over the streets Of Pensa cola
seemingly caring naught for the con-

mains of their ancestors. These are
