You said that a clerk from Messrs.
Sharpe & Smith called here twice?" he
asked
Yes
He picked out one of the letters.
opened it, and made certain of his
facts before he cried, angrily:

my mother shamefully."

January Is of this year.
And what are those-pawn tick
ets?"
Yes, some of my mothers jewelry
and dresses. Her wedding ring was
the last TO go. Most of them are out
of date, but intend to- will try to
save some of them, especially her
wedding ring"
Jocky Mason'S romance was now
dissipated into thin air. The con-
tents of the portmanteau, the squalid
appearance of the house, the date of
the soldiers letter, the bundle of
pawn tickets. offered conclusive evil
dence to the inspectors matter of
fact mind that the ex-convicts story
was the effect of a truncheon rapidly
applied to a brain excited by the
newspaper comments on a sensational
yarn about some boy who had found
parcel of diamonds.
This ycungster had not been favored
by any such extraordinary piece OF
luck. Simple chance had led him to
put the police on the track of much
wanted scoundrel, and he had very
bravely prevented a member of the
force from being badly worsted in
the ensuing encounter.
PRESENT
A subscription would be made
among the officers and men of the
division, and they would give him a
silver watch, with suitable inscrip-
ton
The Inspector noted the address
given by Philip. 1t was on the tip of
his tongue to ask his Christian name,
when the constable suggested that
they should examine the stable in
which Mason had hidden.
They went up the news. Philip
locked his door, extinguished the can
die. and lay down on the mattress,
fully dressed, with his newly bought
rug for covering.
He was so utterly tired, so ex-
hausted physically and mentally by
the sturm and drang of this eventful
day that he was sound asleep when
the two men returned
They saw him through the window.
He's a fine lad" said the inspector,
thoughtfully. Il wonder what he is
going to make of himself. We might
have asked him who his friends were,
but they are not badly off. or he
couldn't have got that bag and his
new clothes. What on earth caused
Mason to connect him with that dia-
mond story?'
IT'S hard to say" observed the
constable.
Il will look round and have a chat
with him in the morning. Poor, little
chap. He's sleeping like top now"
The inspector called at No. John
sons News soon after 10 next morn
ing, but the door was locked and the
bird flown. He spoke to Mason after
that worthy was remanded for week,
but a nights painful seclusion had
sealed the burglars lips. He vowed,
with fearful emphasis, to get even"
with the kid who hated him, for the
policeman's evidence had revealed the
truth concerning the arrest But not
another word would Mason say about
the diamonds, and for a little while

revelations in the category of myths
| familiar to the police in their daily
dealings with criminals.
Philip awoke shortly before T.
| He was cold and stiff. The weather
was chilly, and there was no ardent
meteor in the back yard to keep the
| temperature of the house at a CRATE
full point during the night.
But his active. young frame quickly
dissipated the effects of deep sleep
| and a draughty floor. He washed his
face and hands at the sink in the
scullery, and his next thought was
for breakfast, a proof, if proof were
needed, that he arose refreshed in
mind and body.
In the Mile End road there are
plenty of early morning restaurants
At one Of them he made a substantial
meal and, on his return to the news,
he lost not a moment in carrying out
systematic search through all parts
of the house and yard for any traces
of the meteor which might have es-
capped his ken in the darkness.
Amid the earth and broken stones
of the excavation there were few
fragments of ore and some atomic
specimens of the diamantiferous ma
terial-not sufficient all told. to fill
the palm of his hand But he gath
cred them for obvious reasons, and
then devoted five vigorous minutes
with O'Brien's spade to the task Of
filing up the deep hole itself
By lowering the fagstones and
breaking the earth beneath he soon
| gave the small yard an appearance
/ of chaos which might certainly
puzzle people, but which would afford
no possible clew to the nature of the
disturbing element.
| At best they might imagine that
the dread evidence of some weird
crime lay in the broken area If So,
they could dig until they were tired.
But, indeed, he was now guarding
against most unlikely hypothesis
The probability was that Johnson's
news would soon cease to exist and
become almost as fabulous as the
island of Atlantis.
Moreover, he had a project dimly
outlined In his mind which might be-
come definite IL all went well with
him that day. Then the ownership of
No. Johnson's news would cease to
trouble him, for Philip was quite sure
the whole power of the law would be
invoked to prevent him from dealing
with his meteor If once the exact

OBrien's shop was scarcely open
before Philip was there with his re-
naming portmanteau.

name of goodness are We gatherin'

asked the pensioner.
This is the last one," laughed the
boy. "I am off now to find a cab
and you won't see me again until
Monday"
"Faix, he's wonderful lad, en-
tirely," commented the old man.
What sort of plundher has he in the
bags. at all, at al1?"
In idle curiosity he lifted the last
addition to the pile. 1t was normal

knowingly.

MISS TRAMMELL MAKES
SUGGESTION FOR A
PANAMA MEMORIAL

The most lasting memorial Of any
event is the architectural embodi-
ment of that idea. No better inter-
national celebration of the opening
Of the Panama canal could be planned
than the erection Of gigantic statue
representing all countries united by
its use.
Two giant men, one Angle-Saxon,
representing all civilized nations. the
other Caucasian, standing for the
countries in transition. These men
saluting each other with hearty
handshake from opposite banks, hold
IN their left hands flags of the coun-
tries they represent, thus symbolizing
International fraternity and COM
merce.
Suitable inscriptions would be ap.
propriate upon the base.

were grown within three miles OF the
Lakeland post0ffice.
Now, why is it that the growers
cannot get an easy market and
good price for their product? Nearly
all of them claim that they are asked
to base their selling price on a figure
even less than the outside grower
down State asks for his produce and
which, by the time it 10 placed on
sale in this market, is wilted and not
at all desirable for food. In addition.
he claims that In almost every case
he is compelled, IL he disposes Of it
at all, to take the value thereof In
trade. A grower, who failed last
year to make satisfactory disposition
of several acres Of beans. has al
lowed the land to lie idle this year.
Another, who brought in several
crates Of fine looking tomatoes last
week and was unable to find q mar
ket for them, declares he will grow
no more truck.
Right on top Of all this comes i
statement in the Tampa Tribune OF
yesterday that big prices are being
secured in Plant City for produce
which is going to the big markets;
that farmers are telling stories OF
the big money being made there,
showing that liillsborough county
soil is capable of producing the best
that can be found anywhere.
Il believe that the trouble is Meth
err with the soil nor the market. We
have both, just as fine as Plant City
!f those same Plant City farmers
should come to Lakeland this year
and pursue the same methods here
which they adopt in Plant City, they
! would be just as successful as where
they now are; which means, without
the slightest reflection on the ability
of our growers here, that the fault
is with the grower and not with the
conditions Just as soon as thu
growers here will unite on some reas
enable policy and 20 to work ant
grow a sufficient quantity Of various
kinds of produce, such as are grown
in Plant City, buyers will come herr
and make this just as good a market
Then, as in other places, where
steady outside market is available
the producer will be able, in addition
to selling his choice stuff at fame,
prices, to sell his culls at home TO
the same price he Is now compelle'
to take for the choice.
The growers must get together
If that is not the secret, 1t is tn
basic principle of success in the gam
of trucking today"
