was to explore the Axelson place.
(After / had thoroughly beat the
bushes for 'wild bulls").
1t is a grand old place. The live
oaks are simply magnificent and the
view out across the cove, and point,
into big East Bay is fine at all times.
Back of the rambling old house are
several acres of grape and seupper-
nong arbors. Further back, on one
side, is a spring of the clearest and
coolest water. On the other side is
the family burying round.
The place is uninhabited and is
slowly going to decay. Tall grass,
weeds, goats and range cattle re-
spect nothing.
OF course, the place cannot talk,
but a close inspection, such as ours
was, reveals a story. Some of it IS,
or might be, conjecture, but in SUBJ
sanitation there is the queer way in
which the gate is hung, the foreign
curly-cues about the house, the shrub
berry and scientifically laid-off arbors,
to say nothing of the scattered piles
of rotting ships rigging, broken
blocks and sheaves, rusted chain-
plates, mast-bands and drift-bolts
And there is the family burying
ground, and the inscriptions.
Now for the story:
In the graveyard there are two
graves in little circular enclosure
and the Inscriptions show that this is
the last resting place of one Mar
garet Hunter Axelson, Of Scotland
and one Gustav Axelson, of Sweden
Both were born in 1926. These were
the mother and father of the Axelson
family.

ried, ! do not know, but they settled
this place at least sixty years ago.

IMPORTANT CASES
REGARDING
OF CITRUS CANKER
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL


Tallahassee, July 1.-two recent
decisions of the Supreme Court Of
Florida, are of much interest and i'm
portance to the citrus growers of the
state. Both decisions were in cases
brought against the state plant board
in connection with the work of Grad
icating citrus canker.
In one case the owner of q citrus
grove requested an injunction re-
straining the inspectors of the plant
board from inspecting his property
for citrus canker, alleging that the
Florida Plant Act of 1915, authoriz-
ing such inspection, was unconstitu-
tional. The circuit court of Dade
county held the plant act to be con-
stitutional and sustained a demurrer
to such bill, and upon an appeal, the
supreme court affirmed the decision
of the court below.
In the other case, certain nursery
men, whose citrus nurseries were To-
Gated within mile of canker infect
ed property, and hence under quaran-
tine by the provisions of Rule of
the plant board, tiled bill to enjoin
the enforcement of such rule, and
praying for it's modification so as to
permit the movement of nursery stock
situated within an infected zone, al
though such nursery stock might have
been subject to infection, if in fact it
did not show, upon inspection, evil
dence of infection. To this bill the
attorneys for the plant board filed a
demurrer, contending the circuit court
was without jurisdiction to control the
discretion of the plant board of review
it's findings. or to grant the relief
prayed, and that there was. no equity
| in the bill. The circuit court over
ruled this demurrer, but the supreme
court reversed the decision of court
below, holding that such bill did not
state any grounds for equitable relief,
and that no facts were alleged show
ing that the state plant board, in
making and enforcing Rule 5, had ex-
ceeded its authority.

Agnes Morley did not cry long. That
was not her habit.
II don't care" she muttered rebel
nously as youth does when II cares
more than is good for il. Il am glad
/ spoke my mind TO him
Then she sat still and reviewed men
tally just what she and Philip had said
to each other, She could understand
that his fathers reminder 10 him OF
Agnes statement with regard TO the
young peoples manner OF becoming
acquainted had made IL impossible Tor
the son to explain everything.
Had he said that Agnes had spoken
a part but not all the truth, that would
prove Just what she had forbidden his
proving and her popsition would nave
been put in jeopardy.
At first. before she knew Mr.. Hale,
she had not supposed that the fact
that she was only a working girl could
fix such a gulf between his son and
herself: But in the little while that
she had been in William Hale's en-
ploy she had learned TO see clearly,
and il was this clarity of vision that
had moved her TO warn Philip as 10
how he should behave toward her.
This train of reasoning brought her
right back again to the point from
which she had so often started. he
had put her warnings aside. he was
to blame for everything.
With this oft-reiterated statement,
she went to her room and to bed.
In spite of the uncomfortable eN-
periences of the evening, Agnes slept
well. She found a certainty-althouSh
a disagreeable one-eaSier TO face than
the strain of apprehension which had
haunted her for the past twenty-tour
hours.
Nevertheless when she opened her
eyes in the morning il was with the
recollection that something disagree
able was lurking ready to spring at
her as soon as she was wide awake.
We all know the feeling. Sleep makes
US forget a painful occurrence, but
only as long as we submit 10 its sooth-
ing power. With the return OF full
consciousness, the trouble also re-
turns as big and strong as ever.
Agnes lay for a few minutes trying
to prepare herself for the day ahead
of her.
She had nothing to fear from Phil
ip's attentions. she told herself, trying
to extract comfort from this assur-
ance. Yet somehow-although on
other days his manner had troubled
her-she had a blank sensation when
she realized that he might be too an
cry with her TO care 10 speak to her.
Even were this not the case, after
what she had said last night he was
not likely 10 offend again.
AS to Mr.. Hale. fortunately. Phils
explanation had probably allayed his
suspicious. She hoped so. Now then
she and Philip would do no more than
nod TO each otherperhaps hardly do
that-her employer could not, by the
keenest watching, detect any sign that
his son was not following his orders
to hold no private communication with
'one of hi" clerks.
Well. then, matters would adjust
themselves, and, while at first it might
be somewhat uncomfortable for her.
Agnes, to rem ember that the son of
her employer had been reproved fo'
