OLD ST. AUGUSTINE
BY A. M'GAFFEY.

ST. Augustine en- fete presents the
prettiest picture imaginable, and one
need not be surprised to meet ro-
nance at any turn of it's quaint old
streets. And the cathedral on the
plaza, with it's ancient Spanish belfry,
would seem to be one of the most
likely places In the city for story,
or, at least, for the beginning Of one
So must have thought the fate that
watches over our mundane affairs
when on Easter Sunday the bells be-
gan to ring out their joyous invitation
to the world.
AS the orderly crowds thronged into
church two young men crossed the
Plaza and entered. One was in naval
lists guide, and both were bronzed as
IT from long sea service.
The services were half over when q
lady and a gentleman came in at the
great door and passed down the aisle
toward the altar. The gentleman was
bloom of twenty years.
AS Iney passed. looking neither to
the right nor to the left, one of the
young men touched the other on the
arm with glance at the pair. He
was answered by a nod, and presently
both left the church, slipping out by
q side door. In narrow street run
ming at right angles to the plaza, they
hailed a cab, into which he of the uni
form stepped, drew the door to and
sat down to wait.
The other, sauntering over to the
plaza, took his station near the group
of palms, in the shade Of which two
or three carriages were grouped. And
soon the old bells doomed and the peo-
pie streamed out. Among them were
the two for whom our amateur detec-
tive was lying in wait, and as they en-
tered one of the carriages he managed
to get near enough to hear the order
to Fort San Marco"
By three o'clock in the afternoon the
fort was crowded with people. Walk

part of it and yet foreign to it. were

the young lady and the stout gentle
man. There was a third person In the
party now, a stranger with a distin-
guished air.
There's fine view FOR you, senor,"
remarked Mr.. Maynall, the stout gen.
tleman.
Don Miguel nodded a smiling assent
he was far too happy for words.
But cry of rage from Mr.. Maynall
broke in on his trance. Right under
the sea wall, at the foot of the eastern
glacis, fOur-oared boat, rocked on
the incoming tide, and as Marian May
nall caught sight of it, she turned to
her father and said, with a sparkle in
her eyes: ''They are waiting for some
one down there; 1 wonder who it can
be-"
Yes, they belong to that gunboat
yonder. 1 suppose some young naval
sprig out for lark, curse him."
Father" exclaimed the girl angrily.
II mean what 1 say" rejoined the
other. 81 hate the whole service be-
cause of that impudent jackanapes
with whom you have been fancying
yourself in love. What have you to
say, Miguel?'
ooh oh! What is it, senor?" re-
piled Miguel.
II say we will laugh at a certain
person after veSpers," answered Mr..
Maynall testify.
The Dons response was scOwl.
AS the three m2yed away tourists
guide stepped out from an embrasure
and walked leisurely down the stair
way. He wrote something in memo
randum book in his hand, then went
into the corridor below and waited.
The three came down presently. The
guide nimbly opened a door on the
right, and before the two gentlemen
knew what had happened, they found
themselves in a small room with a
table in the center. An obSequDus
salesman took them in hand, while the
guide, saying: II will find seat for
the young lady outside" slipped back
into the corridor
Marian Maynall, divining that some
thing unusual was on the tapis, was
standing flushed and trembling when
the audacious guide put the paper in
her hand on which he had written:
Lieutenant Westville waits for you
at the foot of the eastern glacis. Lose
no time"
And Marion Maynall lost no time.
She flew out of the dark portal with

uniform met her half way, and clasp
ing hands they ran together down the
slope to the boat. They were in it in
a trice, but had not gone many lengths
from the wall when a couple of gentle
men bounced. out upon the esplanade
waving their hands and shouting like
mad.
Something must be done, however.
Don Miguel set off below the fort,
where he could hire a, boat, and Mr..
Maynall, pressing cab into his serv-
ice, hurried after, the crowd streaming
down the road to see the fun.
1t was fine sight which now greet
ed the throngs on the pier. Each boats
crew did it's best. The situation was
intensified when, moment later,
group appeared on the forward deck,
and it became apparent that a mar
riage ceremony was taking place there.
There was a general clapping of hands
and loud cries of 'bravo!" along the
pier as the ceremony ended.
! A warning shout of "stand off down
there!' from the deck arrested the
Don and Mr.. Maynall in the frantic
endeavOrs to board the vessel which
had already begun to move. And soon
wide lane of blue water lay between
the Don and the retreating vessel.

Odd Indian Foot Race.

A foot race among the Tarahumare
Indians is a most picturesque scene,
especially after nightfall, when the
course is lit up by flaming torches car
ried by the eager friends of the run
ners, who steadily pursue their way,
the only silent people In the excited
crowd. How in this weird fitful light
the men contrive to keep the ball In
view is mystery. One would think
that so small an object would be lost
In the Pickering torchlight; but In
dams have wonderful eyes as well as
wonderful muscles, and somehow the
ball survives all perils and is there at
the finish.
In these races the runners receive no
prizes, but only honor and glory and
the admiration Of the women, which
no doubt fully repays them. 1t Is.
however, customary for those who win
wagers on the race to give some part
of their winnings to the men who have
won; but this is optional.

What's In q Name?

His grandfather is in the employ of
Uncle Sam, engaged in passing back
and forth mail for dependent human
ity. His father, Mr.. D., also earns
his bread in the same useful work in
the Indianapolis post office. Since
these men of two generations are con-
nected with the mail service, they
doubtless expect little Dick to follow
in their steps. Friends of the family
are sure that this is the intention of
the parents, the childs name being the
proof. The mother liked Richard, and
the father liked Franklin, so the child
became Richard Franklin D., or for
short, r. F. D.

The Watertown high school football
team left today over the North West
ern road at 2:43 p. m. for Green Bay
where they will clash with the Mari
nette high eleven for the champion
ship of the state Both squads are con-
tenders for the honors through their
not losing a game this season.
School was dismissed at 2:15
o'clock in order that the students
could march to the depot with the
football team The striding, swaying
multitude of school youngsters march
ing down street, their voices rising in
acclaim for the warriors who left to
do battle with worthy foe, was well
worth seeing.
When Waukesha refused to meet the
local team she lost her claim to the
championship. In failing to meet Mar
inette La Crosse dropped her conten-
lions and Marshfield lost hers in re-
fusing to consider game with the
locals.
The Green Bay chamber OF COM
merce deserves credit for arranging
the coming meet Those in charge at
the championship city have agreed to
furnish a record breaking crowd. The
total expenses of the trip would
amount to about seven dollars. A pas
senger train leaves over the North
Western road at 1855 Saturday morn
ing and will arrive in Green Bay
early enough to give those who go an
opportunity to look over the town and
see the game. Excellent connections
can be made via Milwaukee on the
return in the evening. Get out, you
followers of the pigskin and show
Green Bay that we have other than
football players. They already know
that we are there when it comes to
putting up winning team. Show them
that we have rooters that can be
heard when the game starts.

that the northerners are outweighed
by the Watertown team, but are light
ming fast. In Coach Thomas camp in
dications point to what has been de-

a man has been injured in the prac-
tice games and the whole team to a
man are as fit as a fiddle, and will
give the Marinette aggregation the
fight of their lives when the whistle
blows for play Saturday
The Green Bay chamber of COM
merce will pay the expenses of both
teams and competent officials. If the
proceeds amount to more than the
expenses the surplus will be given to
the Red Cross society.

Tobacco in the army is like water

much when everyone has it, but there
isn't place in the world where the
old adage-"youll never miss the wa
ter till the well runs dry'-stands
out in such ugly relief, as in a mill
tary company shy of tobacco.
You may angue that smoking is a
bad habit, and that nicotine is a dead
ly narcotic, but the fellows cover

The question up to you is whether
you are going to send it to them or
hand them tracts dealing with a per-
nicious habit.
If man is in trench for you and
wants a smoke, are you willing he
should have it?
American tobacco is scarce in
France That is why the fund is being
collected. Do your bit now The price
you pay can't go wrong.
