turn a deaf ear to this poor mothers
prayer She is only one of hundreds.
If you could have heard her your eyes
would have filled with~tears as ours
did. Your hearts would have burned
with Indignation against that monster
devilfsh that has thrown its Thousand
tentacles around the men and boys of
our land. If our country were invaded
by a foreign foe, the men of Escam-
bia would bravely defend her women
and children. To the last man they
would sacrifice their lives in defense
of their homes. but in this war of
might against right the women and
children are getting the hardest
knocks. They are bearing the lions
share of privation and pain. There is
no spot on earth more beautiful than
this dear old town. I love every foot
of it from the blue skies that arch
over 1t to the sparkling waters that
kiss its shores.
May the day soon come when every
thing that def,es or degrades mankind
will be swept away, when mans work
will supplement Gods work. Then
indeed will we have a city beautiful.

There was no beginning and no

/ wrote outside it in very large letters,

And l kept on waiting for quite a

Tung standing in the doorway and with
him his two acquaintances. This was
better than l had expected. Their ap-

quarter of the room in which they

table close to that at which they

the envelope on which "Mr. John
Tung" was so plainly written. Then
/ watched for the march of events.
What / had hoped would occur did

newcomers, saw the envelope lying on

that it was addressed to Mr.. John
Tung, and bore it to that gentleman.
/ could not hear, but / saw what was
said. The waiter began:
rs this your letter, sir?
Mr.. Tung glanced, as if surprised,
at the envelope which the man was
holding, then took it from between his
fingers and stared at it hard.
Where did you get this :" he asked.
at was on that table, sir"
What table?"
"The one over there, SIR
Mr.. Tung looked in the direction in
which the man was pointing, as if not
quite certain what he meant.
How came it to be there? Who put
it there?"
Can't say, sir. ] saw an envelope
lying on the table as was coming
to you, and when saw your name,
on It / thought it might be yours. Tea,

Tea for three, and bring some but

The waiter went. Mr.. Tung re-
manned staring at the envelope as if
there were something in its appear
ance which he found little puzziing.
One of his companions spoke to him I;
but as his back was toward me /
could not see what he said-I could
guess from the others answer.
"Some rubbish; a circular, sup
pcse-the sort of thing one does get

Then he opened the envelope, and
