have the heart to tell her after years
had passed. Now let me tell you what
he did few weeks before he passed
away, and you will know what a
strange man he was. He came home
one day and said to me: I have put
Viola's case in the hands of PrOvi-
dence. / have written 1t all out and l
have hidden the. paper in place
where she is not likely ever to find 1t
where | am sure she will never look.
will not even tell yod where it Is
hidden, for l do not trust yOu-no, not
even you. You would seek it out and
destroy it. If she ever comes across
the paper 1t will be miracle, and mir
acles are not the work of man. SO 1t
will be God Himself who reveals the
truth to her.\ Now you can see. Ken
meth, that the secret is not entirely in
our keeping. There is always the
chance that she may stumble upon
that paper"
'You are right" he said, deeply Inn
pressed 'There Is always the chance
that 1t will come to light. Are you sure
that no one else knows that she Is not
his daughter?'
II am sure of It," she replied with
decision.
"And there Is nothing more you have
to tell me?
Nothing. You may go now."
As he walked rapidly away from the.
house in the direction of Main street
he experienced a sudden sense of ex
altation. Viola was not his sister AS
suddenly came the reaction, and with
1t stark realization. Viola could never
be anything to him except a sister.

CHAPTER VII
Brother and sister.


AS he turned into Main street he es-
pied the figure Of a woman coming to-
ward him from the direction Of the
public square. His mind was so fully
occupied with thoughts of most dis
turbing character that he paid no at
tention to her, except to note that she
was dressed in black and that, in hold
ing her voluminous skirt well off the
ground to avoid the mud puddles. she
revealed the bottom of a white, be-
ruffled petticoat.
His meditations were interrupted
and his interest suddenly aroused when
he observed that she had stopped
stock-still in the path. After a moment,
she turned and walked rapidly, with
scant regard for the puddles, in the
direction from which she had come.
Fifteen or twenty PAGES down the road
she came to what was undoubtedly a
path or "short cut" through the wood
into this she turned hastily and was
lost to view among the trees and hazel
brush.
He had recognized her, or rather he
had OWNED who she was. He quick
ened his pace, bent upon oyertaking
her. Then. with the thrill OF the

Mr.. Editor Leadef-EnterprlSe.
Dear Sir: For several years l
have noticed that the public has been
told by the public speakers in va
rious campaigns that the ruralsschool
children should have equal Ebppor-
tunity to get high school obligation
as the city children now 1senjoy.
Everybody agrees to this. But as
soon as their campaign is over it is
all forgotten until the next campaign
is on. 1t is like farm legislation
soon forgotten, but old Man People
will wake up one of these days and
take hand in public affairs.
The farmer and laborer are worthy
of their hire. Their little chill
dren are as dear to them as those of
the upper class, and every effort
should be made to give them an OPP
portunity of higher education. The
future of our country depends on
them and their education.

clubs in their meetings are discnsss

point for the high grade children to
concentrate. l am offering sug-
gestion to the people of the county
and if it meets their apprval l will

I wish to correct the mistake of
my fathers death, Walter Martin,

2 My father had returned to St.
Petersburg from Miami before the
storm and was in st. Petersburg dur
ing the storm here.
The storm started here 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon; from 8 O'Clock
was not safe to be out and increased
to 75 mile gale, lasted till after 3
o'clock Sunday morning; by $3.50 safe
to go outside. We never retired un-
til about o'clock Sunday morning,
as it seemed like the wind was going
to take US every minute. =,
st. Petersburg is very thankful for
escaping. Will be two more weeks
before we have telephone service, as
fire broke out in the telephone office
besides damage done to wires, etc.
Most every home in st. Petersburg
was damaged some, but when l think
of Moorehaven and Miami, it was
only a nightmare here that soon went
away when daylight came.
We are so thankful that our Fitz-
gerald people in Florida escaped.
Only four injured here; one death of
a small child from a live wire; pa
rents were friends of ours.
Come to st. Petersburg, "The Sun
