CHAPTER X.

F1odie's account book slammed shut.
Her head fell on her arms, face down
upon the table. She gave way to a
burning torrent of tears. 1t was all up,
then! Not nj of those three women
but would fight for Hall now, to the
death. Oh, Flodie could read their
faces! Hadn't each n of them, ever
while demanding the others loyalty,
been sleekly planning to betray her
OWL pledged word to gain the coveted
money? What chance had poor neg
lected F1odie, who hadn't even been
asked? She dried her eyes and looked
up at the clock. 1t was three-fifteen.
AS she watched the dial, her face
changed subtly. Dropping her eyes she
began to think in real earnest. Her
time was short. If she were to play
Cinderella at the party tonight, it be-
hooved her to find a fairy godmother
as soon as possible. Wouldn't that
have to be Hall-who else?
She dabbed her eyes in water, then
went to the door of the studio.
"Oh, Mr.. Bonistellei" she called.
He came in looking anxious. Lord,
I've been worrying myself sicki" he
confessed. What in the world were
they up to, anyway"
"Oh, they seemed to be talking about
some club, or society, or something
that they were interested in. They
wanted Rosamund Gale to join, 1
think"
well, I'm glad it was no worse than
that" He looked at his watch. Lord,
l must be off. I've got to hook this
t1mepiece and pay an installment on
the ring. / don't care much for rings
on a woman's hand, especially if it's
pretty. Now yours, Flodie, is perfect"
She tried to hide her hands, but he
took them, and held them up and
looked critically. Flodie closed her
eyes, that the tears might not come
out.
Say, Flo-I s'pose I'll miss you like
the devil, after I'm married." he went
on, dropping her hands. I've got kind
OF used to you, you know. It'll seem
funny not to have you round to talk
to and laugh at. What's the matter?
You don't really mind my laughing at
you occasionally, do you, FLOP"
"Oh, no, l love it, Mr.. Bonistelle!"
Say, Flo, remember that first time
you ever came in here? D'you know
liked you the moment l set eyes on
you"
F1odie cast down her head. $50 did
I you," she said.
"It always makes me smile, Just to
look at you, somehow. You're such a.
queer little tyke. Always happy, aren't
you. FLOP"
She looked up bravely. ooh, yes!"
The telephone bell rang. Hall
snatched up the receiver ~savagely.
Hello! -. Who is this? -. Oh. vesi
OF course -. Oh! You will? By love.
that's great! -. Why, yes, I'm de-
lighted -. But l am, Rosamund, why
why, I'm the happiest man in the
world! You've no idea what a relief
it is -. Sure! That's just what I was
going to suggest. Yes, We'll do it to-
night. Fine! All right, We'll talk it
over when you come. Good-by, dear!"
He hung up the instrument SLOWLY
"Rosamund's accepted me. Flodie. III

clared, you may believe it or not, but
I am in love with you, l swear / am!
Why. you're magnificent! By Jove, I
never saw such spirit! Why in the
world haven't you eve shown me
what you were, before? I'd have pro-
posed to you six months ago!"
well, you're too late, now!" She
was trembling. Suddenly her strength
left her. She burst into tears.
He went up to her appealingly.
See here, Flo, l do want you, don't
you understand that, little girl? And
I'm going to have you, too, nc matter
what happens! On that money,
anyway! wish it never had been left
me! See here, Flo, let's begin all
over again! come on out right now
and marry me, will you-will your"
mol" she sobbed.
Now there are two nos a woman
can say. One comes through clenched
teeth; it has a rising infection; the
other is an %out-and-out bark and has
the downward fling. Few men know
what different things they mean. Hall
stood silent for a moment, watching
her. Then his one changed. well I
don't know that l blame you,' he said
finally. I've been all kinds of a cad
today, but l guess this is the limit. OF
course I've been blind. You're right.
I've been so close to you I haven't
really seen you. And now that l do,
it's too late. Say, F1odie, did you
mean that? Is it really too late?
Won't you let me prove that I am in
earnest, at last?"
"Oh, how can I believe you? You're
not, honest! You've been lying all
day! You've lied to Mrs. Royalton.
and you've lied to Miss Dallys and
Rosamund. And now you're lying to
me! MOI" she said, I'll never believe
you" Then she dropped her head on
her hands over the table. go away!"
she sobbed.
Hall walked toward the door,
wretched and ashamed.
isn't there any chance for me?" he
pleaded. Don't you love me enough
to forgive me, dear? Don't say no
Flodie!"
She looked up with tears in her
eyes. She had a strange, exalted look
on her face as she spoke through
clenched teeth. Hall Bonistelle," she
said, Il will not marry you! There!"
She turned away.
Hall suddenly caught fire. He shook
his fist at her. "Flodie Fisher, you
shall marry mel" The door slammed
AS soon as he had gone, F1odie
jumped up, and stood for a moment
thinking. She glanced at the clock,
scowled, then walked stealthily to the
door and listened. Opening it, she
looked out into the hall.
"Oh, Alfredo she called, and then
she waited.
In a moment the ~janitor appeared,
pale and sad as a specter. "Yes, Miss
Fisher?"
She regarded him eagerly. Alfred"
she said, you said you'd do anything
for me, didn't your"
Yes, Miss Fisher, that's what I
did"
"You will do anything, no matter
what I ask"
"Oh, yes, Miss Fisher! Indeed I
will"
"Then go and get your hat and coat
hurry"
eyes, Miss Fisher"
He left hastily, and Flodie went to
her closet and drew forth her own hat
and coat and put them on, still alb
sorbed in thought. She was drawing
on her last glove when Alfred re-
appeared.
what is it you want me to do, Miss
Fisher?"
alfred" she replied, smiling elfish-
ly on him, Il want you to go down to
the city hall with me. We're going to
get a marriage license!"
And before he could reply she had
hurried with him out of the door.

STARS LIBEL SUIT
Tampa Times)

Because it criticised the work of a
detective named Cash the Ocala Star,
one of Florida's most outspoken
newspapers, is being sued for $1,000,
suit having been filed in circuit court
last week.
Editor Benjamin treats the matter
as joke, and it is not believed that
the complainant will recover penny
of damages. Inauguration of the
suit, however, recalls the fact that the
libel law that aff1icts the statute
books of Florida is one of the most
Ubiquitous and truth-throttling ever
passed by a legislature, and makes it
more evident that newspaper publish
ers and citizens generally should de-
mand that it be repealed and another
enacted in it's place.
Under the provisions of this law a
newspaper cannot print the truth
about any man or interest without
being subject to suit, and they find
protection alone in the spirit of fair
ness that dominates those who serve
on juries. In many instances jury
verdicts are of the joke variety, but
jurors generally stand for the free
dom of expression in the press, and
as a result it is seldom that verdict
is rendered against newspaper in a
damage suit.
Florida newspapers should be free
to state facts about conditions and
men, which they cannot do without
fear of prosecution as long as the
present politician-championed law is
in force. Therefore one of the firct
duties of the next legislature is to re-
peal this law and enact one under
which justice will be done.

GAINESVILLE HAS THE GOODS

Gainesville has the goods and she
proposes to sell them not only in her
own territory, but in the suburbs OF
Ocala. Gainesville has wide-awake
and enterprising business men, and
they are helped by railroads, which
the state railroad commission allows
to discriminate against Ocala in the
matter of rates.
Following is the copy of a letter
which live Gainesville firm is send
ing to Marion county farmers:

LAFAYETTE'S BIRTHDAY

The following reminder from Life is
timely:
"The sixth of September is the
birthday of Lafayette. Something was
done to commemorate it last year.
There was more than the usual motive
Ia great special sympathy for France
to be expressed by attention to the
memory of the Frenchman best below.
ed of Americans.
"This year that special motive is
stronger than ever. Our traditional
kindness for France has been quicken
ed by new admiration, and greas
new debt has been added to an ancient
obligation. Lafayette has always been
an admirable figure for American
minds to dwell upon. He was tn.
friend of American independence, no,
for political reasons nor because
France was fighting England, but be-
cause he loved freedom. Let US re-
member him this year for a like rea-
son, because we love freedom-ano
France.
"There are many statues of Lafay-
cite in this country-for there never
has been any doubt of American af-
lection for him. They should all be
garlanded with flowers, and will be, on
September 9Th. And not this year
alone, but, we hope, in all years tC
come. For September 9th, besides be
ing Lafayette's birthday, is the ami
versary of the battle of the Marine,
and seems, so far at least, the most
suitable anniversary to remind US Oh
what France has done these last two
years for us and all mankind.
"Wreaths for Lafayette; wreaths
for France; and simple ceremonies at
the placing of them! We honor hu-
mainly when we honor true heroes"

new enemy by means of swift move
ment against the Rumanian TANKS.
There is no disposition to under
rate the Rumanian army, but the be-
lief is expressed that while the Ru-
manian troops are fresh they lack
much of the experience and much of
the psychic stamina and fortitude to
meet successfully the rigors of mod
ern warfare. In the course of time
this experience may be acquired,
some of the writer's point out, but
before this point has been reached
Rumania may have shared the fate of
Serbia.
The economic advantages to be
gained from overruning Rumania
rapidly are not overlooked. In event
Of swift and successful invasion Ru-
mania's vast stores of grain and rich
oil wells would be accessible to the
central powers.

INTEND TO ATTACK
THEIR NEW ENEMY

German military writer's in review
ing the situation surrounding Ru-
mania's entry into the war generally
agree that the new combatant will be
able to throw 100000 effective fight
ing men into the field. They esti-
mate she has ammunition sufficiens
for not more than four or five weeks
excepting arrangements which may
have been made for bringing in addi-
tional large amounts through Rus
STA. Rumania herself does not pos
sess large arsenals or industrial
plants.
Nothing is known publicly, of
course, in regard to the disposition
of the troops of the central group be-
yond the fact that for several months
large bodies of these soldiers have
been tied up along the Rumanian bor-

troops are now released for action.

THE BEST LAxATIyE'

To keep the bowels regular the best
laxative is outdoor exercise. Drink
full glass of water half an hour be-
fore breakfast and eat an abundance
of fruit and vegetables, also establish
a regular habit and be sure that your
bowels move once each day. When
a medicine is needed take Chamber
lain's Tablets. They are pleasant to
take and mild and gentle in effect.
Obtainable everywhere.-Adv.
