Then Stevens took the s,.,;ti. Duly
Swo;n, he began his story.
Maddox may tell the 18th, youi
Honor, when he says that Gary stated
he expected trouble. The Truth Of the
matter is tl4t .ieyer dreamed OF such
action until my vile came to me at
Mango ke;, several miles from the
bridge OYER Seminole Creek, and in
formed Inc that she had learned Of the
proposed assault upon my property
rights. Naturally, it being a matter
OF vita! Importance that the bridges
be lett s;a,!l;ag, /, with my wife and
DR.. FcrEgS Faunce, went by boat to
the bridge N question.
~ threw a couple OF men off the
bridge. and challenged Maddox and
his gang to take me. He said that he
was an officer Of the law,-I think that
he called himself sheriff, which was
an untrue statemeat,-but | felt that
he was not enforcing justice and re-
fused to yield to arrest. The man is
truthful enough, so far as he goes,
your Honor, but he doesn't go far
enough. / do not believe that he was
bribed by Mr.. Clary, but l have rea-
son to believe that he owns certain
acreage adjoining what was, until this
morning, the Clary properties, and be-
lievcd that the value of his holdings
would be enhanced by the destruction
OF my bridges. You might ask him,
your Honor, if my surmise is correct"
Maddox admitted the truth OF the
surmise, reluctantly. The man was
stubborn; Clary had tried to call him
off, and now he began to regret his
stubbornness. He regretted It still
more when Devil May Care took the
stand. For she not only corroborated
her husbands testimony, but remarked
that twenty men had shown an ex-|
ceeding reluctance to attack two,
which statement brought q laugh from
the crowded courtroom.
That ended the rather fat proceed
ings; the Judge reprimanded Maddox
for too zealous conduct and discharged
Stevens.
Through the press Tim guided his |
wife; the pressure Of his hands
either was big enough to inclose her |
biceps-was strangely pleasant upon
her flesh. She was seeing, she thought, |
a new Tim, Tim that had never
existed In the days when shs had |

Much obliged, Lucy" he said, As
they gained the street.
He bowed, turned on his heel, and |
eft her. She entered her coupe and |
drove slowly across the toll-bridge, to |
Palm Beach. At Bradley's she turned
INTO the courtyard, parked her car,
and entered the Casino.
Gambling seemed indicated. She
wanted something to restore that wild
uncertainty of racing blood that had
been hers last night when she started
rom the Everglades Club; that had
been hers half an hour ago in the
street sefore 'ds courthouse. !

She played, unhappily, for half an

happy and she unhappy? For Lesson
would be happy, despite the thoughts

| AS she came abreast of the bathing
casino, she gasped in sheer delighted
ama1ement. For the flames were
! shooting up into the air, seemingly
hundreds Of feet. illuminating the
atioie vast building. Nesuvius in
eruption could hardly be more beauti-
fu!,, more awe-inspiring .
No ore cried, no Ole seemed sad.
That was the marvellous thing about
the catastrophe. In few other places
in The world could people have faced
disaster so philosophically. But these
were of the nations wealthiest. Their
losses would not be Gripping. Even
the note company would lose nothing.
1t could sell the land on which the
Breakers stood, for ten times the
original cost of land and buildings
combined.
The sun, setting over Lake Worth,
suddenly shone through the flames,
FURNISHED, angry orange disk. The
throngs upon the beach gasped in
sheer delight at the spectacle. She
found herself suddenly in the midst of
a group of friends. Mrs. Copper
Clary was among them.

plump matron asked,

Mrs. Clary.

Lucy.
Hes been everywhere; just now

Lucy looked. Upon the cottage adj
joining the north wing of the breakers
crouched men; white cloths, doubtless
water-soaked, covered their heads;
they played streams of water upon this
building to whose roof they chung.
They fought the fire as one might fight
the living assault Of savages.
