Bill spoke to Dolores. Il thought that if l
could meet you face to face and tell you that
the whole story is a fabric of lies, you would
believe me- Look into my eyes, Dolores, and
tell me that you still believe this story
Her lips parted almost imperceptibly, then
frightened again. Deep in her eyes Bill saw
something stir as her brows pulled together in
the tiniest of frowns. Then the expression
vanished and she was still and cold once more

bar, swaying on his feet. He felt as if he we're
going to pass out He stumbled then steadied
himself with an effort and went past the bar
toward the street.
He went through the tiny, empty foyer of
his apartment house and up to his rooms in
the same state of dazed bitterness. He stared
for long time at the slip of paper that had
been thrust under his door before he picked it

accomplished the feat. He arous-
ed public sentiment in the Terri
tory to obtain the necessary sup
port; sent circular letters through
out the land in question; CORE
sponded on the matter with such
men as George Bancroft, Polk,
Pierce, Benjamin, Buchanan, and
others. Florida became a sister
State in February, 1845 and
the JOY of David Levy knew no
bounds.
The same month the patriot
concentrated his energy into a
vigorous campaign for Senator.
Such ardor could not be defeated
and he took seat as Senator on
December LIST. Three landmarks
were occasioned that remarkable
year-the new State named one of
her counties Levy County," in
which is the town of LevyviTle; he
married the beautiful daughter of
! Ex-Governor Wickliffe of Ken
lucky; and he changed his name
to Yulee. In the course of the
next few years, he was appointed
Chairman of the Naval Commit
tee, in which capacity he cam
paigned for iron vessels; Chair
man of the Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads. He cham
pioned the cause of cheap ocean
postage; fought for the develop
ment of Florida; and successfully
promoted the passage of the Inter-
nal Improvement Act which plan
ned an extensive system of rail-
ways.
During the Civil War, Yulee
served in the Confederate Con
gress and after the war was over
the Governor of Florida honoreC
him by making him one of the
Commissioners to Washington or
the patriots mission of re-estab
fishing Florida into the Union. His
last years in private life were
spent with the Nations great
statesmen. He died on October
10th, 1886, and was buried il
!Georgetown Cemetery, Washing
ton, D. c.
To the last days, Yulee strov'
to rebuild the ruined railroads O
Florida and, because Of this, his
torians are prone to limit his con
tributions to American civiliza
ton. If he had accomplished this
alone, he would still be great
man. His greatness is measured
by his foresight and his foresight
is the key to the personality Of
the man himself. Among the ia

respondence is that of James D.
Wescott, a colleague of his. One
of the most important letters to
this friend, dated February %,
1845, only few days before the
actual admission of Florida, brings
to light the farsightedness of the
patriot:
II took up this measure at the
only time when there was hope
of uniting the people-came out
wholly in the face of unanimous
opposition in my own district, on
the favor of which I was so de-
pendent for my prospects in life
took the stump upon the subject

got the measure reported in the
only shape it could have been
passed-have now got it through
the House with a triumphant
vote-have been laboring like a
slave to overcome the party policy
by which we were to be buried in
the Senate, and am now satisfied
it has been successfully overcome
and that we will be admitted
and with all this evidence of my
sincerity am to be blamed if by
unavoidable circumstances it
should fail This disposition
to blame me may be owing to
my not continuing to make in
cessant noise about it. It is not

according to my way to do so.
I have my own manner of accom-
plishing things. I came out upon
the subject and kept it going, un-
til public sentiment at home was
ripe for the movement. That was
one step, and I stopped when that
was sufficiently done. I then
turned to the accomplishment of
the measure here and worked in
quiet until it was time to make
a noise and demonstration here,
and then did it, and succeeded.
Never judge me to be inactive be-
cause I am silent"
