PROLOGUE OF THE STORY.


Ebert King, northern soldier left
FOR dead on a southern battlefield, re
covers consciousness near a farmhouse,
where he hears Jean Denslow, a beau
tiful daughter of the south, tell her
negro servant, Joe, that soon she must
marry Lieutenant Calvert Dunn. whom
she does not love. King learns of n
movement to surprise the Federals.
Anxious to get away with the infor-
nation, he intercepts the prospective
bridegroom, appropriates his uniform
and is mistaken for him. Under cover
of his disguise and to save himself he
IS married to Jean Denslow. Still IN
detected, he starts on horseback with
his bride to Dunn's home. En- route
she discovers the deception and, furi-
Gus, gallops off to warn the Confed-
crates. Her horse falls and breaks its
neck, while Jean Injuries her ankle.
Iopelessly she accepts Kings profer
of assistance to Dunn's home. Kings
lSindnesses PARTIALLY win her. He later
reports to the Federal commander
Rosecrans, who appoints him lieuten-
ant of a body of scouts, including Dan
iels. head of feud faction fighting
Jem Donald, n Confederate guerrilla
chief. The expedition leads King to
Dunn nome, Wnero ne again meets
Jean, who leads him into a trap. He
escapes, only to stumble across the
body of n slain Confederate officer.
Fearful lest he be stigmatized with the
crime. he voluntarily surrenders to Big
Jem Donald and is accused by Cal
vert Dunn. King shows fight, but is
subdued and finds himself a prisoner
in the cellar of the house until visited
by Jean, who wants protection, as all
but Judge Dunn, an invalid. have left
the house. She releases King on his
word of honor not to escape. While
watching he has an encounter with
what he thinks is the assassin, find
ing himself overpowered by Big Jem
Donald, to whom Jean explains her
faith in Kings innocence. The reclin-
ing figure of Judge Dunn attracts their
attention. They find he has been as
sassinated. King is suspected. OBrien
Kings aid, arrives with soldiers, who
are surprised by Calvert Dunn's Con
federates. The Federals intrench them
selves within the house, where King
and O'Brien seek to discover the Sc
cret passage through which Donald es-
capped. Held up by Jean, they are
locked in a room, from which they es-
cape with difficulty, disarming and i'm
prisoning Jean. Searching for the hid
den passage, the fireplace opens, re-
vealing the insane features of a wo-
man, which instantly disappear. They
explore the passage and find Big Don

JACKSONVILLE GETS
 THE CONVENTION NEXT. Waterways Gathering Will Be There in 1913--In Albany in 1914.

The committee on time and place for the sixth annual convention of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways associa- ton, which will be held in 1913, voted to hold the convention in Jacksonville. Fla, and voted to recommend that the 1914 convention be held in Troy. The selection of Jacksonville for 1913 means winter convention.
 The committee met Thursday noon at The Griswold, Eastern Point, and then announced its choice to the con vention. The choice, a popular one, was greeted by cheers and applause.
 The feature of the session of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways associa ton convention, held at The Griswold Thursday morning, was the series of speeches booming various cities for the convention place for the 1913 con vention.
 Troy, Albany, Jacksonville, Rich mond and Trenton were heard upon the subject. Troy, Albany and Jack sonville were the real seekers after the honor. Troy and Albany were thought to be willing to compromise and in fact almost certain to unite ii necessary, to keep the convention north. While not announced, it was conceded from the Troy and Albany speeches that the plan was for Troy and Albany to unite in an agreement to get the convention and divide ii between the two cities.
 Jacksonville was hot after the meet Jacksonville looked like the best bet She had no big delegation to espoust her cause. as had Troy and Albany but she had the support of a grea- many neutral delegates who wanted tt see the convention go south, and par. | ticularly to Jacksonville

Pusateri, who runs fruit and confectionery store. and the other half has been used as a dwelling until re- gently. The partitions on this side of the building have all been taken out and the floor has been lowered about two feet, thus making it more on a level with the sidewalk. New metal ceilings will be put in and three show windows will be built into the walls, two of which will be on the front and one on the side. There will be a large door which will open on Central ave- nue. When the remodeling is finished the place will be used as dry goods store. The work will require about month.
