ST. AUGUSTINE BECAME
AMERICAN CITY JUST
100 YEARS AGO TODAY

ST. Augustine, March IA
Just one hundred years ago St.
Augustine was recognized as an
American city, for on March IA,
1922. it received its first char
ter from the Legislative Terri
toral Council, and it was the
first city in the state to receive
that distinction. Other char
tiers were awarded in the order
named as follows: Pensacola,
Fernandina, Aplachicola, Key
West. Quincy, Magnolia, Ochee-
Gee, Jacksonville.
The bestowal of St. Augu-
stlnes's charter came shortly af-
ter the change of flags, when
the Stars and Stripes were flung
to the breezes, rather than the
banner of old Spain, which for
so long flOated over the oldest
city.
The information with regard
to the comforting of the city
charters comes from Robert
Ransom Of st. Augustine anC
Pablo Beach, who obtained hi
data from Judge Benjamin Har
risO1 Of Jacksonville. 1t is I'm
derstood that Mr.. Ransom is on.
Of two men in the state VIII,
knew where to locate the site o.
Ocheecee, an old town which few
people ever knew existed.

 Has Mrs. Tudor been awakened Does she know?'
 "I didn't dare. Will you como up now, sir"
 The doctor nodded and followed the girl upstairs to that silent room with the motionless figure upon the bed and the senseless one beside it.
 Hello, what have we here? Miss Fay must have been told Help mo lift her, Martha. Is there a spare bedroom across the hall?"
 "Yes, right next door to the one poor Mir. Wilbur used to occupy
 As the unconscious form was borne from the room the doctor bent over the body lying on the bed.
 He strengthened and there was a peculiar hard glint in the direct gaze which he bent upon the servant.
 'Is it the usual thing for Miss Laurel and her cousin to sleep to- gether? They always share the same room?'
 'Yes. Since Miss I'ay's return from France they have occupied this room together, just as they always did when they were little girls.s
 Do they always sleep with the windows closed like this?"

 Surely Laurel was lying in a pecu- liarly uncomfortable position Her head was hanging so far over, and could 1t be that she was cold? There was peculiar bluish tingo to the flesh of her arm.
 Scarcely knowing what prompted the quick, half-suffocating sensa Don of alarm which caught her by the throat, Fay threw herself out of bed and approached that still figure,
 Her work in the devastated regions Of France had brought her into con- tact with death in so many violent. hideous forms that one glance suf- feed to tell her the truth. With q wordless cry of horror she slipped un- conscious to the floor.

 You arc sure of that, Martha :? You are positive that the windows were wide open all nght?"
 Positive" Martha gazeJ at him for a moment in astonishment, and then approached the nearest of the windows. See, the carpet and cur tains are still sopping wet, doctor?" What has happened to Miss I.aurel?"
 'She is dead, Martha, and has been now and have a look at Miss Fay"
 Fay had regained consciousness and was seated upon the side of the bed, wrapped in a dressing gown. Her hands were clasped tightly together and she was staring straight before her as though scarcely conscious of the presence of Barry and the sheriff, who lowered in the doorway.
 The latter turned to the physician.
 "Anything suspicious about it doc tor?" Anything in my linc'of work?"
 'Yes. That peculiar bluish tinge which has suffused the entire sur face of the skin. We find that usual ly in cases of asphyXiation. an hy- pothess manifestly impossible in this instance, since there was no illumi- mating or coal gas in the room, the windows were widen open, and the other occupant, Miss Fay, here, seems to have been quite unaffected"
 Dr. Green drew a chair up to the bedside and possessed himself of one Of Pays cold istless hands.
 My dear what can you tell me of this? Did anything disturb you during the night?'
 "Nothing. It was quite late, near ly morning when the dance broke up and the guests left. Being in mourn ing, you know, I did not appear, out the lights and music and general hustle kept me awake, and when Laurel came upstairs we had quite a long talk. She was in the very best of health and spirits, doctor; in fact l remember that she said she had never been so happy before in all her life. Has Aunt Clara been told?"
 No, and it must be done imme- diately. Do you feel strong enough to go to her?"
 Fay hestatcd, but only for mo- ment. Then the old indomitable spirit came to her rescue.
 T will go, Doctor Green"
 The girl went slowly down the hall and opened her aunt's door.
 Why, Fay. how you startled me. Is anything the matter? Is Laurel ill?"
 Fay took her aunt's trembling hands in hers.
 Not ill, dear. You must be brave, and let me tell you. Laurel died in her sleep
 My God" The slim hands were torn from Pays grasp and seized her shoulders in visclike grip. ou cannot know what you are saying, Fay! There must be some hideous mistake. Not l.aurcl.'
 "Yes, Aunt Clara Doctor Green is here, and the sheriff. Will you sec them?"

protested, "lf you arc cold in the night"
 Night" Laurel exclaimed with a little laugh. "lt's almost morning! Oh, Fay dear, I'm so glad you don't care about-about Harry and me. There have been times when I almost hated you! Will you forgive mo for being so horrid to you in my thoughts?"
 Fay laughed
 "Of course, dear. l wish you and Harry all the happiness in the world. Good night"
 It was nearly noon the next day when Martha opened the door softly and entered with the breakfast tray. Outside, the wind swirlcd through the trees and hard, driving rain slant cd in at the opened windows.
 With a shiver the maid placed the tray upon the table and went over to close the windows. As she passed the bed upon which Fay lay the girl stirred sleepily and turned over, but did not awaken, and from the other bed there came no sound or move ment.
 The younger girl was lying on her side with one arm thrown up over her head, which was almost buried in the pillows, and her dark hair fell over the side of the bed nearly to the floor.
 Martha hesitatcd for a moment and then touched the bare arm lightly.
 The next instant she had rccoilod, for the arm was icy cold and now for the first time she noticed that a strange bluish shade had crept over the fair skin!
 Laurels lips had fallen slightly apart, her eyes were half unclosed and showed dull and glassy to the others mortified gaze. while over the piquant features, tingcd with that same hideous bluish pallor, it seemed as though a hand had been passed robbing them of all expression.
 Miss Iaurel." The words came in stranglcd whisper from Martha's lips. Miss Laurel, what is the mat ter? Speak to mel"
 Her voice died away in her throat and she laid her trembling hand for a moment on the girl'aA breast Then with a half-stihed cry she turned and fled from the room and down the stairs.
 CHAPTER V.
 An hour before noon, Sheriff Hulse and Sergeant John Barry deserted the station car of the Tudors approaching them at speed which aroused all the formers professional enthusiasm. He stepped out into the road with an authoritatively upraised hand and Frank came to a grinding stop.
 "I am after Doctor Green, sheriff"
 What's up?t
 Don't know myself, but. accord ing to Martha, it's sudden death and looks uncommonly like murder
 Murder" The sheriff looked at his companion. Guess we will both go right along with you, Frank"
 The two officials climbed into the and, as Frank started off again. Sheriff Hulsc asked:
 '"Tell us about it. One of the guests of the party last night found dead in tho grounds?"
 No; it's Miss Tudor hersclf-Miss Laurel Tudor. When Martha took chocolate upstairs to the two young ladies just now she found Miss Tay III right, but she couldn't wake the ot her one, and then discovered that ,hc was dead. She didn't wait to lsturb Mrs. Tudor, but ran down. ,t,ire to rool, and thcv 1eciIpI to nave me go for Doctor Grecn."
 A few words sufficcd to explain the situation to the country practitioner, md he joined them in the Tudor ar They found Martha, the cook, md Louise awaiting them on the side porch.

the North Fork Road.
From June 16 until September Is,
Mr.. Herbert L. Rothwell, a Forest
Student at Syracuse University, was
employed to patrol the North Fork
Road. Mr.. Rothwell made WI round
trips G day from the Forest bound
truck. purchased for that purpose.
He visited each camp ground and
talked with the campers as to the
necessity for keeping camps clean.
and impressed on them the need for
care with fire in the mountains. Mr..
Rothwell's salary was paid by the loo
al merchants and summer home and
resort wners on the North Fork, and
this cooperation is appreciated far be-
yond our power to express. These
people have, thru their generosity,
prevented fires on the North Fork
this year and preserved for all of us
the unsurpassed scenery of that most
beautiful highway. These cooper
ators are public spirited citizens who
have shown their interest in forest
protection, who have purchased
shares in the fire game. They
have shown that they are not only
interested in Forest protection, but
are willing to start something never
before attempted in the history of the
Forest Service, viz, a cooperative or
ganization paying for forest protect
ion. These cooperators have shown
that they consider adequate protect
ion necessary, and it is a foregone
conclusion hat they consider the
careless camper and smoker an en-
envy to the country and a criminal
TO whom should be melted out the
severest penalty.
This year OF a single fire married
the beauty of the North Fork and it
is hoped that our protection may be
as complete in future years as was
made possible by these public spirit
ed citizens in 1922.
