Restless and anxious, Clara went up to their apartment after he had gone. She noticed a drawer in which her husband kept his private papers half | open. The cover of the box in which | she knew he usually kept some ready cash stood carelessly open and the ¥ox was empty. Again her heart sank. She ‘went back down stairs and stole to a dark corner of the parlor away from her mother and the others. Her husband held a secret from her and what little she had seen on the surface concern- ing it bewildered and alarmed her. “I will not ask him, never!” she breathed. “No cloud shall come be-i tween us of distrust. 1 took him on | faith—I will believe in him to the | | met him at the gate,” ! “A matter of | She heard her husband come in and hasten up the stairs.

His face was drawn and pale. “May 1 come in, dear?” she asked gently. Ervin Dodge sprang to his feet quickly. He included the letter in his | hand and those upon the table in a quick grasp, sliding the mass into his pocket. Then, smiling with a tender gesture, he drew her to his knee. “Looking over some papers,” he sald casually, affecting calmness with a mighty and a futile effort. “Why, my darling! what {8 the matter?” * Clara could not restrain from break- ing down. A barrier seemed rising between them. Her faith, her patience gave way. “Oh, Ervin!” she sobbed, in the midst of a wild uneontrollable storm of tears, “let me share your trouble.l It is about that man who came here tonight—it is about those letters you were reading! Let me see them, let ! who must love one another always, al- ways, just as dearly as now!” He placed her gently in a chair fac- | ing him. He regarded her gravely. “My dear,” he said, “there is no| trouble. It ends with the destruction of those few letters. Do not ask to | see them. They are a dead issue and | there is nothing to fear and nothing | to worry over.” ; “Oh, Ervin, please tell me all! I know that you are bravely carrying some terrible burden. Oh, let me share it with you!” | For a moment he was silent. He sighed deeply. He met her glance with one of infinite love and trust. “Remember,” he said, “I ask no ex- planation. It is of the past dead and buried, like my own mistakes long since,” and he handed her the letters. With a grasp Clara regarded the open one. She swayed to and fro, white to the lips. | “I—I did not write them!” she fal- tered. | . ~But they are in_your mdml (TAVE PHARMACY i : and your: initial C. is signed to all of them.

She was a poor writer and begged me to help her. You see, our initials were the same. She was fascinated by the stranger, who soon flitted away—I have some letters that she wrote me where she referred to her silly whim.” Two sounds interrupted pretty Clara. One was the harsh tearing of the troublesome letters to shreds, the other the echo of a kiss—long, cling- ing, fervent “Oh, my dear!” cried Clara, “let us never have a secret between us!” (Copyright, 1913, by W.

P. Cresap Company, Ltd, = New Orleans, Lovisiasa, For sale Lakeland Fla., by Henley QrFORIINITY This High Lake Region of Florida hes been rightly so named, and is fast filling up with those having “good luck,” or rather, who have uickly seized the great opportunities afforded These are not ouly those called *‘lucky,” from the advance in values in city and country property purchased, but even more the oppor- tunists who are not only eagerly buying, but using the land here suitable for citrus fruit, strawberry and truck raising. Five or len i hence northern friends will call them ky-" Not so, that word does uot spell their good fortune. They looked for, and saw theie opportunities, embraced them, and are simply reaping their resulting reward._ Tlere climate with outdoor life gives bealth, and year-round tillage and crops give wrealth; while consiant comfort and happiness are im- possible with many still {rying to keep on liv- ing north Th whose lives are made wretched by the cold and sudden changes, where now located, if they but hear and heed the I of opportunity, will soon find thelr “bad leek” changed to “good luck,” amid the comforts and delights of this balmy, produe- tive High Lake Region It all vacant lar would produce these things, or do it the year round, or all Florida land, or even all land in this region would do it. the danger of losing present opportunities would be far less. But no other portion of the U, S. has this combination of climate,right land and low prices, and much of the land here will not give “lucky” results. Hence the need of open eyes and alert minds to find real opportunities, in the hands of those who know and have them, and will give a “square deal,” even to those ignorant of the Florida solls. Driven from the north to escape the killing rigors and sudden changes of its winters, we have sought for and are offering these oppor- tunities to those, llke ourselves, needing to live and work much out in the weather, and with a record behind us of 40 years of “gquare dealing,” we feel able to be help- ful to many sojourning in Lakeland. Those who witnessed the scenes here on her 30th birthday cannot question but it is good to be alive, and living In thisreglon. All such, and all wishing to learn of these opportuni- ties, and all from the cold northland, are in- vited to call on us here.
