TWEEDELL fand wanted to know THE EVENING TELEGRAM LARBLAND, FLA., FEBRUARY 7, 1912, | A PAIR OF KODAKERS By MADELINE LEWIS half pay and the owner of a villa on the Sound, had the gout. He also had an enlarged liver. Further, the government had retired him 35 min- | utes before he reached the retiring age, and he felt that he had been hustled out of the service to which he had given a lifetime. As if this were not enough, wire fence and windmill men were constantly calling at the lodge and disturbing him, and kodak enthusiasts and landscape painters Wwere trespassing on his grounds. The commodore swore and growled | and grumbled, as an old sailor has a perfect right to do, but the public did not take warning. He hung out signs of “Reware of the dog” and “Tres- passers will be prosecuted,” but no one was frightened. He finally made it known by numerous signs that he had set bear traps and spring guns in the bit of woods back of his villa, and along the beach, and that anyone run- ning afoul of them must take the con- sequences, The commodore did rot krow bis neighbor on the right nor did the one on the left. He didn't want to know them. He wanted to be alone with ged wife and his gout and his} o zod liver, and prss his few re-| ning vears in s the naval rvice 2o to the & not heen kept on.

They photographed calves lying down and bulls on the rampage. They would snapshot the tender dandelion and the gnarled oak, They shot the shimmering waters of the sound and the shady dell in the woods. They pointed their deadly in- struments at the clam on the shore and the squirrel in the tree. They were fiends without knowing each oth. er, but the law of attraction, aided by a commodore with the gout and a torpid liver, were to bring them to- gether, At 10 o'elock ot a certain morning, one kodaker appeared on the bheach from the north and another from the south. For come time each was ignor- ant of the other's pres The girl found a stranded lohs e 1) tiens and jotted it down in he orandnm bock that the photos w he ititled “The Lobster's Lament™ | The young man found a rlish with arm gone and old creeping over bim, and snapped him as “Never A Then the met The voung man removed his eap and how ed, but the girl started in a hs manner.

It was thelr was determined to hold that beach against the other. “Sir!” Young Mr. Bingham was ready for a squint at a stranded oat when the word reached his ear. He paused to look up. The girl had a determined look on her face. He steped back from his camera In some confusion, but when she went ahead and made ready for a shot he called out “Miss!" in a protesting volce. “Sir, I saw it first,” she announced. “I beg your pardon.” “But I did.” “We can both get a picture of it Can I be of any assistance to you i arranging—" Miss Parker turned away tered the woods—the commodore’s woods. Right there on a big elm tree were signs of “Beware of spring- guns!” and “Look out for bear traps!™ But she saw them not. Had she seen them it would have made no differ- ence. Here was a young man—a good-looking young man, evidently of birth aud breeding—who was rude- iness itself. In the three years she had known that beach not a single boat had come ashore before this one, and he wanted her to share the glory with him! He was no true gentle man. But she knew of a dell not far away, and she would go there and snap the robins and squirrels, and if he dared to follow it would be a sad day in his life. When he saw that she was offended and going away he called to her and offered to yield the | boat, but she disappeared with flash- | ing eyes and red cheeks.

Snap! Scream!™ The old commodore had been in earnest about those beartraps, though the signs ahout spring guns had been intended solely for moral effect. He had set half a4 dozen traps, and as she had progressed toward the dell Clara had sprung one of them. Her escape R | {rom the cruel jaws was marvelous. Commodore Binbridge, retired on| TBeY missed her ankles but gathered in her skirts of stout cloth, and she pregently found that she was as much of a prisoner as If * she had been caught by a foot. Just that one scream and then she realized the situation. The irascible commodore might come charging through the woods at any moment, and at any moment the ungentleman- Iy young gentleman might take fit ! into his head to abandon the old boat and follow on her trail. It did not take her two minutes to realize that without a knife to cut away her skirts she must remain there a prisoner un- til some one came to release her. She could not pick up the trap and walk off with it, owing to its weight, and neither could she sit down and rest, For the first ten minutes Clara pon- dered. For the next ske silently wept. She could hear that young man whis- tle down on the beach. In the other direction she could hear the commo- dore cursing bis coachman and man- ofallwork. She had left the young man o bl about a boat. If lie came must apologize. She bhe- lieved she bad read or heard that re- tire! commodores first canght their < in bear traps and then burned at the stake.
