He took the overcoat from her and
threw it on the table. Gwynne sat on

this intrusion were part of one of the
sinister and incredible conspiracies her

a cause for gay and youthful mockery.
Resistance, however, was out of the
question. John was unconscious, the
telephone as useless in the presence
of the intruder as if it didn't exist and
a scream would be heard by no one
but the baby and the shadow who had
come in the car with the mysterious
stranger
. She caught her breath sharply as
he put his hand in a pocket of his
overcoat and drew out a bundle of
webbing. but when he told her to put
her hands behind her back, she obeyed
without a murmur. He said-"I can
see you have been prepared for some
thing of the sort"

None whatever. He'll sleep from IL

Gwynne made no protest as her
ankles were tied firmly to the chair

SAILS SCHOONER HIMSELF WITH
Lime Grove Operator Ouerhauls Schooner Here
WIFE AND CHICKENS ABOARD


A sort of throwback to old
Key West days are Mr.. and Mrs.
Graham Lowe, who were in the
city over the weekend to repair
their 40-foot fishing schooner
Standard
Lowe, who is 60 years old,
handles the schooner without
help of anyone, as his wife don't
know the first thing about a
boat. He says he hoists the
mains'l, fores'l, and jibs and
steers the boat through the maze
of vessels in Key West harbor. He
also takes it up to Key Largo,
where he tends a farm, either
through the inside waterway or
on the outside route.
Lowe is at present employed
on Karl Thompson's limegrove
on Key Largo. He admits that
it's some expense keeping up the
40-footer but he points to the in
security of life and his job as
lime grove operator, which may
terminate if Mr.. Thompson de-
cides to sell the grove. So he's
going to keep the schooner SO
he'll always be assured of liv-
ing.

Numerous chicken coops are
scattered all around the decks of
the schooner. Now to most any
one it would seem that this is
rather queer" but there's per-
fectly logical reason. There issne
one to tend the chickens and feed
them at the Largo farm, so they
make the voyage to Key West.
Years ago Lowe made his liv-
ing fishing and turtling in Key
waters. He has nothing but
praise for the quality of the tur-
tie around Key West, which sur
passes most places, he says. He
has also done some sponge fish
ing, and once captained a crew
of IL men. His schooner is at
present 80 years old. He has
owned it for three years. At in
tervals he has shipped the man.

dye, but more scientific processes
have antedated that market.
Asked if he preferred farm
work to fishing, true Key West

GREAT ACTIVITY
in SCOUTING
TWENTY THREE APPLIcA-
TONS FOR MEMBERSHIP
IN CITY TROOPS

With approximately % ap-
plications for membership in the
Boy Scout troops of the city, a
wiener roast planned for Friday

Troop So plans to have wiener
roast Friday night. Later it will

ing shop has been added to SIS

OPINION DIVIDED
ON COURT ISSUE

Continued from Page One)
functions performed by Criminal
court would give three justices
of the peace, who have no legal
training, trial jurisdiction.
GAS generally known, the
peace justices work under the
fee system. Their fees for
handling misdemeanors that came
before them and in presiding at
preliminary trials of those held
for the Circuit court on felony
charges would be paid by the
county. Unless a prosecutor is
appointed, and he would have to
be paid, the peace justices also
would be prosecutors as well as
trial judges under the act as it
now stands.
"The state now reimburses
Criminal court for fees paid
jurors. Except in the case of
felonies, abolishing the Criminal
court would throw the costs of
handling misdemeanor cases up
on the county. ConStables under
the peace justices and sheriff's
deputies work on a fee basis.
They would be encouraged to
bring all,kinds of persons before
the justices for minor. infractions
of the law" -
Mr.. Papy, is just as strongly
convinced the act would mean a
large saving to the taxpayers.
How Senator Elmer Ward stands
on the proposal is not known
here, but his support would be
necessary to get approval of the
Senate.

shrubs be planted, as these are
always of tremendous interest
to visitors, besides the beautiful

charm they add to the city.
