Nigel was on a trip TO the Riviera,
and his mother had died. which left
Rosalie alone in the court. which

Betty set about her work of trans

the house. which soon changed from
a dingy. gloomy pile. 10 the stately
English country house il should have

village. and one day. during her reg
ular drive about Stornham, she went
farther and visited the grounds of
the Mount Dunstan estate.
Mount Dunstan was almost as
badly in need of help as Stornham.
There was a superstition which had
come down through the years that
the Earls of Mount Dunstan were
cursed and the last earl. James HUI

had been given his father. Going

the man who had been the second

he was the keeper. she talked 10 him
and learned something OF the family
Of Mount Dunstan. AS she was go

the way to Mrs. Stewards place
When he knocked at the door,
dropped and dried-up looking man
responded, saying that Mrs. Stewart
was in, but that he was her husband
and could he do anything for the
visitor? Dumfounded to find that his
darling not only had living hus-
band but that she was living with
him, Leopold reeled and started to
depart, when Miranda's magic voice
reached him and he stayed. At the
first opportunity she told him not to
be alarmed at the presence of that
"runt" for, while they lived in the
same house, they did not live as hus-
band and wife, and that she was wait
ing only till the crops were harvested
and sold, when she would get the d.
vorce and leave him. And in this
wise she beguiled him into the be-
lief that, after all, she was and would
be his.
He returned to Florida and waited
several weary months until she came
again to him at Hudson. But she
had not started the suit for divorce
Differences arose between them. And
one day he received a note from her
that she heard that he was a pro-
German and that he mistreated his
former wife, that she was sick and
was going to a hospital in Ocala, and
if she died her son would notify him.
Leopold, his fondest hopes blighted,
his heartstrings torn and bleedings,
and his home gone, was an object of
pity. He thought he could stand no
more; but he could, for the next day
he received aletter from L. M. Nose
ley, Of Tampa, that the former home
of Leopold has been placed in his
legal custody, and on coming to Dade
City he found in the Clerks Office a
deed from the woman who had
/ thrown him down, to Moseley. The
scales fell from his eyes, he thanked

The plumbing inspector in the came

To the people of the modern world
the month of September is known as
the ninth, in the series of twelve into
which the years at present are divided.
But this was not always 90. Far back
in the dim distant past, in the time OF
the ancient Romans, the annual period
of the earth's revolution around the
sun must have been partitioned into
ten spaces OF months, March being the
first and December the last month OF
the year. Under this old Roman sys-
tenn September was the seventh month,
deriving it's name as it does from the
Latin word septem, meaning seven.
Some chroniclers claim that before our
present historical calendar of twelve
months came into use the former ar
rangement had its origin, according to
tradition, with Romulus, the reputed
found r of the External City"
The first meeting of the Wildwood
city commissioners in the month OF
September, 1920, took place last Tues
day afternoon, the 7th, at the regular
hour. Scarcely had the hands of the
city clock reached the 1.30 mark before
Mayor Hendee called for order and the
city clerk began speeding away in the
Misunderstanding race-telling exactly
what happened at the previous meet
ing in the last week of August. For
reasons before stated in the JOURNAL
the mayor refused to lend his approval
to all of the transactions of that meet
ing, hence he voted nc when the
minutes came up for adoption, Com
missioners Bright and Smith voting
yea.
The reading of official reports was
