PAGE SIX. Unknown Wilds of South America, (By Associated Press.) Paris, Nov. 18.—To penetrate un- krown wilds of Brazil, Venezala, and Columbia, to discover and trace to their sources unnamed rivers, and lastly, to seck to find the habitation of a supposed tribe of mysterious In- dians, are the objects of Doctor Ham- ilton Rice, of Boston, who will soon leave Paris on a tour of exploration to South America under the auspices of the Royal Geographical Society of England. The doctor’s previous visits to the wildernesses of northern South Amer- ica have convinced him of the ex- istence of a strange tribe of Indians somewhere in the direction of the source of the Orinoco. The women of the tribe are said to live apart from their husbands in a secret city the greater part of the time. Doctor Rice will start well equip- ped for extensive bacteriological ex- amination, and hopes to contribute valuable data on the diseases preval- ent in the districts he visits, With the exception of an attendant, he will be the only American in the party. He intends to make up his explora- tion caravap just before entering the wilderness, or at some city like Bo- goto, and he will carry cloth, mir- rors, beads, accordions, caps and gloves with which to pay his help- ers and barter with the natives. These are the articles which experi- ence has taught the explorer appeal most strongly to natives of the far inland, If you want good results advertise in The Telegram. AN INVESTMENT La kehla nd Highlands Will Prove Profitable. We have sub-divided our prop- erty in Lakeland Highlands, centering around Banana, Scott and Seward lakes into Bungalow lots and ten-acre tracts. We are developing this prop- erty as a high class resort: we have sold a large portion of this property to people of means in the northern states, who will build beautiful homes and plant grapefruit, orange and tanger- ine groves on their holdings. A number of sales have been made to residents of Polk county, who realize the investment op- portunity and who further de- sire to take advantage of the pleasure and social features of this high class Club Colony. The Elevation of Lakeland Highlands is 300 feet abuve sea level. The panoramic views are unsurpass- ed in Florida. The land is roll- ing and naturally drained. The climate is pure and invigorating and there are no mosquitoes ner malaria at Lakeland Highlands. The improvements now under construction, consist of a mag- nificent Country Club House, Spanish Mission style of archi- tecture, school and chapel, boat houses, stables and garage. A golf course is mow being planned in addition to many oth- er out door and indoor amuse- ments. The approximate cost to be $25,000. : With the above improvements and developments it is obvious that property values in this sec- tion will increase very rapidly during the wext few years. An investment made mnow, at the present low pries and easy terms, should yield very hand- some commercial returns. It would not be surprising to see this property double in value during the next two years. The social and health advan- tages at Lakeland Highlands will be worth the amount of your in- vestment. An investment in a Iot or ten acre tract entitles you to a membership in the Lakeland Highlands Club, with all its privileges. If interested pleage call or write us for further information. W. F.

For the mo- ment she had lost sight of the good- looking man whose camera lay beside ber on the sand. He had left it, for safe keeping, near a pillar under the pavilion while he took a long swim. Molly had noticed him first because his bathing suit bore the name of the club In New York to which many of her friends belonged. She had attend- ed many of the little private dances given by the Kanawa club. The rest of the time she had watched him out of pure fascination. He was coming up the beach, his bathing suit dripping, and Molly shift ed her pink parasol as she had done on each occasion when his eyes had turned in her direction. He had mot glimpsed the face beneath the sun- shade, The man in the bathing suit picked up his camera and Molly realized that the beach would be less attractive when he had gone. But he was not going. Molly watched him focus his camera on a group of Kanawa boys. Suddenly Molly picked up her own camera and very quickly but very surely she snapped a picture of the man who was engrossed in his own camera. “Let's have one more dive!" she heard him call out to the boys. He put his camera down In its ac customed place and tried to peer um- der the pick parasol. After the un- successful attempt he ran down and into the water. The wickedness that had been brood- ing In Molly's eyes now took definite shape In her movements. She arose apparently to avold the sun and sank down nearer the lonesome camera. With a deft movement and shielding her hands with the parasol she exam: (] Sauntered Up to the Pavilion. ined the camera. It was fidentical with her own. Molly moved back and presently saun- tered up to the pavilion. Later she wended her way homeward. She felt warm even though summer was turn- ing to autumn. It was hard for Danvers to pull him. self from the water. The last swim of the season seemed particularly fine. However, next summer was coming and with that as consolation he came out of the water, picked up his cam- era and repaired to the bath houses. His roll of films would have to wait for city development. A fortnight later John Danvers stop- ped in for the results of his last snap shots taken at the beach. *“You had fine luck this time,” the clerk told him. “I'd like to get the name of the beach you've been to,” he chided with a sly wink. Out in Wall street again, Danvers wondered at the man’s remark. There was nothing special in the way of scenery on the films he had exposed. Arrived in his office he took out the prints. Then he knew! These were the plctures of some one else. Either he had picked up the wrong camera on the beach or the clerk had given him the wrong pack- age. Danvers looked over the splendid prints and felt glad that he had made the mistake. He felt eorry for the oth- er fellow. His own exposures had been merely uninteresting groups of men— these proved to be a collection of per- haps the prettiest damsels on one beach. Danvers came to the last of the dozen. He started. His own huge frame occupled the center of the pic ture. “How in the deuce—!" THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., NOV. 18, 1911, when he hung up the receiver. Faiiny Evers had given him her consent for the first dance of the season. For a moment the pictures slipped from his mind. The Kanawa dance and Fanny Evers had take prominent place in his thoughts. A dozen times Danvers had been on the verge of proposing to Fanny yet each time something unsurmountable had kept bim back. He returned to the pictures and made a selection of the faces. His choice was not difficult. He looked long and earnestly at the one he had chosen. After a moment he found himself returning the smile in those laughing eyes and wanting to brush back the wind-blown hair. There was a parasol somewhere in the picture and for a brief second Danvers felt intimately acquainted with that para- sol, but the vague memory refused to draw near. He separated this one pic- ture from the others and transferred it to his pocket. After a week of constant associa- tion with the picture Danvers knew that he would recognize the original anywhere. On the night of the Kanawa dance, an unreasonable sense of dissatisfac- tion took possession of Danvers. He ruined four small ties and smeared one white walstcoat in an effort to please his fastidious taste. Danvers was in the middle of the third waltz when he felt rather than saw the entrance of some one. He was near the door and he looked up. She had come! The girl whose picture was at that moment near his heart was standing in the doorway. Danvers managed his steps so that he would pass near her. Did he Im- agine it ‘or did a great wave of crim- son flood her cheeks when her eyes met his? From that second Danvers felt that fnvisible wires were attached to his feet and that the girl in black velvet had them In her hands. After the dance he made his way to- ward Jerry McNeal, the man with whom the girl had come. McNeal was already surrounded. “l want an introduction—" began Danvers. “Great Scott!” sighed McNeal, “ov- e:yl lolu of you fellows can't have my girl!” “Your girl!" Danvers tuined fire laden eyes on the unlucky man. “Is she engaged to you?” “Not yet,” McNeal admitted. “And never will be,” supplemented Danvers as he found his hand en- closing a small one. “This dance?” he sald quickly, “May I have 1t?" The girl had not found her volce. She held out her card. There were three dances left and Danvers took them all and put down three extras. Molly Keene only laughed unstead- {ly when she saw what he bad done. “We are missing something we should not miss,” Danvers suggested. Molly stood up and for the space of a second before he put his arm about her she looked Into his eyes. “Don‘t! Don’t do that!” he said and brought her quickly near him. When the strain of first meeting had worn oft, Molly remarked, “I belleve 1 saw you at Rye last summer.” “l have seen you for the last four weeks—every day,” Danvers looked down into the original of the picture. It was far more lovely even than the picture. “Last summer—my camera got mixed up with that of somebody else,” he continued. “The other fel- low had taken snaps of many pretty girls. 1 selected one—and gave her the prize;” Danvers laughed. For no reason at all Molly Keene blushed. “I will show you the picture, after the dance—if you care to see it,” Dan- vers told her. “l have often wondered how they came out,” Molly sald and looked up into his eyes. “You! What do you kmow about mixed cameras?” “I bappen to be the—mizer!” Molly blushed partly from the confession and partly because Danvers’ arm had tightened so closely about her. *“I felt reasonably sure,” she went on swiftly, “that we would meet—eince I know so many Kanawa boys.” “We were bound to meet,” Danvers TO KEEP EVEN WITH RIVAL Italian’s Unique Explanation of the Presence of Sign In the Windows of His House. In a little settlement on the out- skirts of Chicago two houses stand out more boldly than the rest. These are the domiciles of two Italians of meaas, who, although being very 18 norant men, vied with each other tor the soclal leadership of the locality. One day a mewcomer, in search of temporary lodgings, attracted by g conspicuous tign in the window of the first of these two houses, stepped to the front door to make inquiry. “l1 see you bave furnished rooms here?” he said to the swarthy man w| answered his knock. ; abie I'd like to rent it for awhile.” “\We no rent da rooms,” was the be- wildering declaration. “I got my fam- fly in here, and dey take up all da house ” “Don't you rent any rooms? Why, then, have you that sign stuck up in the window?” “I'll tell you. Las' week dat fellow next door hung such a sign in hie front window, an’ when I see dat I put one of da same kind in my front win- dow, just to tell da people dat he aint’ da only man In dis place dat have bis rooms furnished!”—Judge. Women and Marriage. It is said that every woman has some chance to marry. Representing her entire chance at certain points of her progress in time, it is found to be in the following ratio: Between the ages of 15 and 20, 14% per cent.; 20 and 25, 52 per cent.; 26 and 30, 18 per cent.; 30 and 35, 16% per cent.; 356 and 40, 3% per cent.; 40 and 45, 21, per cent.; 45 and §0, two-thirde of 1 per cent.; 60 and 56, one-fourth of 1 per cent. After 60 it is one-tenth of 1 per cent, or one chance in @ thousand—a pretty slender figure. Porcelain Not of Persia.
