And she knew, deep in her determined mind, that
in all romantic novels the shortest distance between
two given points is always the longest way round
Otherwise there would be no novel
AS for young Clifton, he had decided to look over
his Southern domain, Montfort House. with view
to two-weeks house party This Edna read in
several social columns Also, he wanted some dove
shooting. And being man, and a young one, he
went about this business of pleasure as straight as
a flying bullet.
Which resulted in the hooking up of his private
car to the end of the same train-de-luXe that was
carrying Edna Ritter southwark through the first
snow storm of the new year.
1t coincidence She had read about his
plans in the daily papers. He in his handsome
private quarters aboard slept as innocently as a
child awoke refreshed and dictated business letters
to his private secretary.
But her imagination burned her like living fame
and she lay tossing with white hands clenched and
cheeks afire far into the night.
Thus, also had old Peter Ritter conceived those
lightning strokes which delivered into his acquisive
fists all matted opposition to the monopoly of a
territory doomed already to gulp down Rtter's
Extra Golden Brew-or nothing.
1t gulped the Golden Brew.
And Edna swallowed everything the modern
romantic novelist offered to a cOyed but still
terminated clientele.
Peter Ritters recognition of a social aristocraCy
which did not recognize him had been limited to
an expensive imitation of what that aristoCraCy did
with its money.
When he discovered that it built houses instead
of sojourning al huge hotels he, also, built house
the largest home, with more kinds of architecture
to it than any mansion in all the West. Which
was going some.

And at last Onl y one matter remained unadJuSted
tOperpeX Miss Rtter-a matter which had given her
father great pleasure during his aggressive life
This matter concerned great, flat plain about
five miles square, bordered irregularly by woods
the greatest feeding place for wild doves in the entire
South.
Claimed by the Clftons, counter-claimed by
Peter Ritter fought over legally during the latters
lifetime posted by both claimants, taken from
court to another, this property had furnished to
Peter Ritter the only light amusement and mental
relaxation he ever had permitted himself.
TO him it had been a delightful and exciting game
"a satisfying combination of checkers, poker and
pinOChle-a game interesting that he never per
mited settlement to threaten the sport, but always
made some legal move that the lingering delight
of the contest might continue indefinitely. And
the fury of William de Montfort Clifton, Senior
knew no bounds But it was private and very
discreet fury Only his lawyers ever suspected it.
AS for his son and heir he had heard of the contest
for the first time when he arrived at Montfort House
that lovely January morning.
The letter from his attorney ended:
"Shoot there as often as you please pay no at
tenton to the Ritter trespass signs Post the entire
plain. And if any other people attempt to shoot
over it, have them thrown out bodily. The courts
will uphold you!"
So that evening" as William de Montfort Clifton
paced the howery coquina terraces of Montfort
House. he determined to Gust any of the brewers
brood who might prove presumptuous enough to in
wade the plain that winter dreaming of what
that brood consisted and that its sole specimen aged
twenty-one, had already caused shooting pits to be
dug his own trespass notices to be torn down, and
others posted bearing the hated name Of Ritter.

from the real thing-Peter Ritter also bought land

social idiocy with stolid determination to "see it
and "raSe it."
That was really all he wanted to match, aggreS-

no desire to cross, but merely to defy. For at the
social dead-line his imagination stopped; that
its limit; he never could conceive himself crossing

The "chatoo," as Edna Ritter found it, appeared
to be in as good state of repair as any Florida
residence possibly can be after Florida summer has
tempered with it.
Mildew marked the interior for its own; fair
number of spiders, ants, scorpions, lizards and
sorted and many-legged creatures were retreating
before the languid and perfunctory manoeuvres of
black servants, when Miss Ritter entered upon the
scene with her retinue of white ones.
But upon the arrival of the young and vigorous
mistress of the ''chatoo, matters were accelerated

Crowd of Evil Doors Convicted al

Gainesville, Feb. 1-Dr. H. NJ.
Owens, who at the fall term of the
circuit court was indicted for the
murder of James S. Splain, a young
white man, at the doctors home on
the night of August 4, 1919, was
found guilty of manslaughter yester-
day afternoon. The jury had been
sitting in the case since Thursday af-
ternoon and heard the charge of
Judge Wills this morning, retiring at
9:40 o'clock to begin their delibera-
tions. Alex Powell, a young white
boy, indicted jointly with DR.. Owens
ton from the court, there being no
evidence to connect him with the
alleged crime DR.. Owens attorney
will appeal.
Yesterday morning William Thorn
as and B. F. Carter, the two white
men convicted of murder in the Sec
ond degree upon an indictment
charging them with the murder of
Spencer Martin, were sentenced to
the state prison for life. Col Robert
w. Davis made formal motion for a
new trial, which was denied, the
court allowing sixty days in which
to formulate and present bill of ex-
ceptions.
