They were near the bayberry bush,
though entirely out from its protec-
ton AS the drilling rain settled
down thicker and thicker about them,
Agatha tried again. Slowly she
soaked James to his knees, and slowly
she helped him creep as she had crept
toward him IN the night, along the
stones and up into the sheltered cor
ner under the bayberry. It was only
a little better than the open. and it
had taken such prodigies OF strength
to get there.
Agatha made pillow for James
head and sat by him. looking earnestly
at his flushed face; and from her heart
she sighed, "Ah, dear man. it was too
hard! It was too hardi"
II was a long and weary wait for
help. though help Of most efficient
kind was on the way. Agatha had
been looking and listening toward the
upper wood, whittier Hand had disap-
peared She had even called, from
time to time, on the chance that she
could help to guide the assisting
party back to the cove. At last, as she
listened for reply to her call. she
heard another sound that set her Won

motor boat. She hooked out over the
small expanse of ocean that was visit

and more distinct, and presently a

Three times the shout came Agatha
made a trumpet of her hands and an

and strong "All right" came back;
and then, Cali again! We can't find
you!" And so she called again and
again. though there were tears in her
eyes and lump in her throat for
very relief and joy. When her eyes
cleared, she saw the boat. and watched
while it anchored well off the rocks;
then two men put ashore In row

her throat filed with sobs, As the ex-

Florida Fire Prevention Society In
spects Palatka.

Pursuant to call of the mayor, the
city council met in special session
last Thursday night to meet Messrs.
Mills and Fellers, representatives of
the Florida Fire Prevention Society,
also a number of representatives of
the national organization.
Chairman Yelverton explained the
object of the meeting. Mr.. Fellers
addressed the council and citizens,
stating the object of the organiza-
ton and asked the cooperation of the
city council and the citizens gener-
ally. Mr.. Fellers stated that the or
ganization was not one of insurance
men, and that it was not creature
of insurance companies. That its
sole object was to safeguard lives
and property.
The various inspecting committees
submitted reports on the conditions
found in Palatka and made numerous
recommendations.
Mr.. Fellers also stated that where
unsatisfactory conditions were found
notices would be sent to the owners
asking that the desired changes be
made. If no satisfactory answer is
received within a reasonable time
the society will then take other meas
: ures to bring about the desired re
suits.
