in his eyes. Evidently the shock of his newely- stablished fatherhood had swept away something of his justly condemnatory attitude toward Tony.
 As for me, I felt so bewildered that l didn't rightly take in half of the explanations.
 But this 1 gathered: The visit to town and to Tony had been followed by prolonged interview with Jim's father, the man who had brought up Tony as his son. Tony had been present at this interview-with proofs.
 MT. St. Aubyns and his wife had described how, twenty-five years ago, they'd found the abandoned baby lying asleep on their doorstep, in new York suburb. The baby's clothes were initialled with the let ters T. L.
 "We could find nobody to claim him, and my wife loved him imme- diately," Jim's father had declared. "We had no child of our own at that time, and we adopted him. Yes, of

course we tried to find the parents, But with small success. Advertising at that period wasn't so cleverly done as it is today-and no one answered our newspaper advertisements" We were going off to Italy within the week, and we took the baby with us. From the initials, T. L., on his clothes, we called him Tony Lascelles Eighteen months later, my own son was born. And the children grew up together"
 s Until the age of eighteen, when his reckless tendencies were getting him into endless scrapes in college, Tony was not told of the mystery surrounding his birth. MT. and Mrs. St. Aubyns, in fact, were quite con- vlnced he was the child of some un- fortunate girl, who had abandoned him where she hoped ned find a home.
 Up till the age of eighteen, Tony had considered himself a son of some distant relative of the St. Au- byns family.

 Ut seems," said MT. Lloyd, still with that little quaver in his tone. it seems that Tony has been follow Ing up some clues. Proofs of iden- tity were in my safe-some photo- graphs-some papers. On two occa- sions, Tony opened the safe, anxious to secure those proofs. We suspect. ed his motives wrongly. I am sorry
 He turned to Tony. That youth had the grace to look profoundly un- comfortab blc.
 "1-I ought to have come straight and told you, sir" he muttered, "but l wanted the proofs first"
 Travis Lloyd gave a pathetic sort of smile. This finding of his long lost child-it carried with it consid- erable disillusionment. Was he try ing now to make the very best of an unhappy situation ?

THE PLAGUE SITUATION

The doctors in this city. as in every
other city of Florida, are today receiv-
ing a statement from DR.. Ralph N.
Greene, state health officer, relative
to bubopic plague and its occurrence
in the state. While the information
contained in the letter is generally
known by medical men it contains
facts that will also be of interest to
the layman.
From the technical terms of the
medical profession in which DR..
Greene discusses the disease, It's
source of infection. mode Of trans
mission, methods of control, treatment
and other vital points. is. summed ND
these facts for the general public:
that in the pneumonia form Of the
plague the disease. may be transmitted
by direct contact with an infected
person or animal but in the other
three forms. namely. septicaemic. bu-
bcnic and pests minor, the infection
is generally transmitted from a
plague rat to man through the bite
of flea. Flies are thought to be car
riers of plague but DIR. Greene states
emphatically that cit must be borne
in mind constantly that so far as we
are concerned the rat is the danger
Gus element in the transmission Of
plague"
The general measures of control, as
specified in the letter, contemplate the
determination of rats and vermin.
This can be accomplished by trap
ping, poisoning. starving. by protect
ing food from rats. by fumigation of
premises showing presence of plague
rats and finally by rat proofng all
buildings.
To date twelve plague rats have
been found in Pensacola and seven
human cases have occurred with four
deaths. One death occurred without
the disease having been recognized.
The diagnosis was established by dis
interring the body after twenty days.
The second death occurred en- the day
the diagnosis was established. A third
case when first seen was hopeless and
fourth death occurred from septi-
caemic plague which is considered 100
per cent fatal.

chosen by the high school authorities
to teach history and civics for the en-
suing term. Miss Davis asks the
Star to thank for her all the good
friends who helped her in her work
here and to assure them she will never
forget them. There are a good many
heartaches among the girls she has
50 successfully taught. Few of them
will ever forget her. Miss Kite, who
succeeds Miss Davis, is a very COM
petent and energetic young lady, and
viii do her best for the school. She
should have the sympathy and sup
port of the people of our city in the
very responsible position she has been
called on to fill.

We the undersigned, do hereby pc
tition the honorable board of pardons
of the state of Florida, for a pardon
for Mr.. w. s. Tucker, who was con
victed in 0cala, Fla. on June End,
1920, of the crime of accessory to the
fact of grand larceny. We believe that
Mr.. Tucker was unjustly convicted
and that it was case of being in the
company of a man and woman who
had stolen without his knowledge. We
hope that the board of pardons will
grant this young man pardon.

NOT A CAMPAIGN BUT A WAR


The Ocala Star is conducting a
campaign against gambling. It's a
good bet that the Star will lose.
Gambling is an instinct as well as a
habit.-St. Petersburg Times.
Nobody has noticed our losing this
campaign, Friend Times. but suppose
we do
When we first picked up the editor
iai pen, and decided we would always
support what we believed was right,
we didn't enlist for a campaign.
We enlisted for war.
Suppose we lose this campaign,
what of it!
Therell be other campaigns.
We have lost some campaigns, but
we have never been routed, and when
we retreated the other side always
know there had been battle.
It's better to fight and lose your
fight than never to fight at all.
Who was it that said, "A matter is
never settled, until it is settled right.
Gambling will never be settled until
it settles in its proper place, on the
bottom of hell. and it will settle there
eventually tho it may be a thousand
years.
We deny that gambling is an in
stinct. It's an artificial passion, fos-
tered and aided by the same evil in
fuence that leads to stealing-the de-
sire to get something for nothing.
lie it was a natural instinct, so
many women wouldn't lie awake wor-
rying at night, knowing that their
husbands and sons were in bad COM
pany, and praying for yet dreading
their return.
And there are anxious fathers also
many more than either those who
lead boys into evil or indifferently
watch them walk into it.
And there are few parents in Amer
lea who wouldn't rather see their
daughters dead than see them mar
ried to gamblers.
Search your hearts and see if you
can say these things are not so.
We are not worrying about the loss
oil campaign, tho in reason we can't
fight many more. All we want is to
keep the battered old pen point driv-
ing in the right direction as long a.
we can There will be a stronger
hand and a sharper pen to take up the
work when we can't write any more
but those who strive to make this sac
