Richard and his father had really
never agreed. Their antagonism
worried gentle Mrs Cameron. She
loved her son, and she loved her hus-
band. and their continued quarrels
mystified her.
Dick is a dear boy" she would
say to her husband, and when he
would grunt and growl she would ven
ture. Perhaps you don't understand
him."
Your father is a fine man." she
would tell Richard, and when the
sigh. Perhaps you are too much like
him. You both have the same high
tempers, and that Is the cause Of all
the trouble"
When the Chalmers came to live in
the big house next door to the Cam
erons there was more trouble. Rich
ards father wanted Richard to be
nice to them. There is plenty OF
money and influence over there, and
they have a daughter. You can't do
better than see something Of her,
Dick"

asserted, without having the one
next door thrown at my head"
Who's throwing her at your head?''
the old man demanded
'Oh, dear!" Mrs. Cameron threw up
her hands "She really seems a
very sweet girl
We'll, | don't care to know her,
Richard said. ut is bad enough to
see her all the time. She's either sit
ting on her porch or playing tennis on
the side lawn, and l can't get away
from her unless | stay away from
home altogether"
He flung himself out of the room
and his mother looked at his father
deprecatingly.
IF he wouldn't be so positive about
things, but he's just like you; you
never could stand it to have anyone
tell you what you ought to do"

Cameron agreed, "but If you wan

another way from the one you are
pursuing now, Richard"
But Richard Sr. would not listen.
"He ought to be made to do the
things we want him to do he said.
You didn't do the things your
father wanted you to do" his wife
stated. IF you had, you wouldn't
have married me, Richard"
Her husband smiled at her.
1--WE got ahead of the old man,
didn't we?" he said.
There, you see," his wife said ear
nestly. You like the adventure of
it, Richard, yet you're expecting your
boy to submit to prearranged mar
riage."
That's right" her husband said
suddenly, but seriously. Mary, my
heart is set on this marriage"
His wife nodded. The best way
will be to make Richard think you
don't want it. then he'll be crazy to
do it"
Il see." Mr.. Cameron rose and
walked through the wide windows OF
the living room to the porch Down
by the sundial in the lower part OF
the garden Richard sat smoking anG

"Yes, and he is pleased to death a

THREE WORSE WERE
NEVER CAUGHT

Sheriff c. j. Perry, of st. Johns
county, left here early yesterday
morning in an automobile for St.
Augustine with VIII Brown, Carl
Ingram and Will Davis, the three
negro desperadoes who were captur-
ed Saturday night after officers of
been in pursuit of them for twenty
hours The three alleged highway
robbers will be held in Jail in st.
Augustine until they are given a
trial
Before leaving Sheriff Perry thank
ed Sheriff w. H. Bowling and his
deputies and the members of the po-
| lice department for their splendid
work done in connection with the
capture of the negroes and stated
that he would 90 a long way to be
of service to the officers of this sec
tion il he was ever given an oppor-
tunity to return favors.
1t is believed that more desper-
ate men have never been captured
in this vicinity than the three who
are now in the Jail at st. Angus
tine. They fired upon or threaten
ed every one who interfered with
them in their fight Saturday. Nv.
Hartley, a young white man who
lives near Loretto. was nearly kill
ed By them, even though he had no
idea of attempting to stop them.
The negroes passed near Hartley S
home and his dogs ran after them,
barking loudly. Hartley ran from
his house after the dogs for the pur-
pose Of quieting and calling off the
animals. He did not know the
negroes were alleged highwaymen :.
Hartley was certainly surprised
when the negroes turned and
emptied their revolvers at him, and
he decided that he would not bother
himself to call of the dogs.
At one time during the chase the
negroes attempted to take refuge in
the lost of a woman who lives east
of Mandarin. She secured shot
gun and went out to order them
away. The shotgun was not even
loaded, but the negroes, who had
not hesitated to return the fire Of
officers with whom they came in
contact. withdrew to the woods a

The negroes fought a running
fight near Sunbeam with Deput,

The following article, supplied by
a member of the staff of the Thomas
Advertising Service, has been repro
duced in full in many of the best pa
pers of the country.
Snow, followed b. bowling wind
and horrible rainy weather, with the
usual accompaniment of slush, is
frequently the summary of winter
weather conditions in the North and
West. AS compared to these, re-
ports from Florida tell of sunshine
days and balmy breezes, with every
body enjoying life out of doors.
The man or woman who does not
long to be in Florida during the dis
agreeable Northern winter weather
must be wholly pre-occupied with
very pressing business. The facili-
ties are so convenient for transfer
from the cold of the North to the
warmth of Florida that all who can
hasten to take advantage of the op-
portunity.
More Compelling
Florida attractions become more
compelling year after year. The big
railroads of the country operating
in Florida either direct, or over al
lied lines, have put on palace trains
for the winter tourist business. In
reality it is but step from the ice,
snow and slush of the North to the
tropical temperature of Florida.
Those who are interested in Flor
ida's progress are not content mere
ly to keep pace with other sections of
the county if they insist on taking
the lead In this respect, Florida be-
ing recognized as the playground of
the nation, the most fascinating golf
courses in the country have been
laid out. While golfing in Florida
is delightful the year round it is
much more pleasing in winter than
in summer.
Next to golfing the royal Florida
sport through the winter and spring
months is fishing. In this, too
