The peace was absolute. Golden
clouds sank lazily through the quiet
air. and beyond the haze single fiery
star blazed down from dome of en-
erald, He lifted himself painfully on
his elbow. This was not death, nor
the world he had left. Where there
had been hills there were now plains
and the gullies had become mountains
Where there had been men there were
now nothing but smooth layers Of I'M
troubled sand. Something moved and
touched Farquhar. He started and
looked down at the man whose head
still rested against his arm. Their eyes
met. In the red twilight they recog-
nized each other-and their eyes shift
ed instantly in shy horror of that which
the other had become. Arnaud dragged
himself up upon his elbow and
coughed the sand from his lungs.
"My horse bolted and threw me-" he
ierked out gratingly. Il must have
been half stunned. l did not know
that it was-you." There was a brief
silence. They measured each other.
Then Arnaud stretched out his hand.
I'm sorry wish to God ! did not
hate you, Farquhar."
They went on. Behind a great rock
which lowered out of the storm-driven
sand they found Colonel Destinn. He
stood with his back to them and count
ed the thin circle of men who re-
NAMED. There were hundred in all.
They had fought the sirocco for ten
hours. The sand chung to their uni
forms, to their hair and boards. On
every face was printed the same dev-
astat ton, the same exhausted suffering,

to the last. They flung themselves
upon him. But for one swift moment
Farquhar had met Destinns eyes.
What passed in that lightning recog-

himself recklessy between the lonely

COME AGAIN NEXT YEAR.

Pensacola is becoming one of the con-
vention cities of the South, and it is a
source of qualification that for the second
time this city has had the privilege of en-
tertaining the Woodmen of the World, one
of the largest organizations in the United
States, as guests for week.
Pensacola realizes that in extending
the hospitality of the city to these men who
are representative of every vocation,-the
city is the beneficiary, for their presence
here has been not only source of pleasure,
but the means of bringing into closer re-
lationship men from Georgia, Alabama and
other sections of Florida, and binding more
firmly the ties of friendship and business.
Pensacola has very special regard for
the Woodmen of the World, for the reason
that the local organization here is one OF
the strongest in the South, and The Journal
joins other citizens in hoping that the
Woodmen may make Pensacola their per
manent convention city.

The Raiford Tribune has started
something every newspaper in the

until deplorable condition is rem

a woman be employed at the state

the women prisoners, of which there
are several.
At the prison farm there are a
large number of men with a male
superintendent and overseers. The I'M
