LAKELAND, FLORIDA By CLARA INEZ DEACON. “Well, mother, it's time for me to be on my way to the depot.” “Be careful, Bessie, and don't take the wrong train.” “Oh, 1 shall ask at least 50 people if it's the right one.” I “And be sure you are not carried past Redfern.” “I shall be out on the platform and waiting.” “The name of the station is Red- fern, isn’t it?” “Is sure is, mother, and don’t you get it mixed up with Red Hill or Red Head.” “And Kitty St. to meet you?" “Yes, unless she is laid up with a broken leg.” Clair will be there “You may be killed in a railroad wreck before you get there.” “If I am I'll telephone you. I'm oft.” “Just another word, Bessie. Mrs. St. Clair is a sober, sedate woman, and ofocfcforfosden num at the end of the guarantee periog if the work shows no in- § you and Kitty must not go to cutting up or she'll be shocked.” “Not a cut-up, mother. now!"” And about the same hour Mrs. St. Clair, at her country home, was say- ing to her daughter, Kitty: “This is the day when your friend, Bessie, comes down?” “Yes, mother.” There, “Well, we must give her a good visit. Didn’t you say she was rather sedate?” “She's almost as solemn as a grave- stone.” “I'm glad of that, for she will act as a check on you. You have spirit enough for any three girls, 1 do hope that while she is here you won't act quite so like a boy!” “I shall go around with tears in my eyes and my hands tied behind me!” An hour later there was a meeting at the country station that was wit- nessed only by the old depot master and a small boy. “Oh, Kitty!"” “Oh, Bessie!"” “Hip, hurrah!” “Whoop-la!” “I'm so glad!” “I'm so0 happy!” And after kissing each other exactly 15 time# they joined hands and went waltzing up and down the platform ana then drove away in the pony cart. The old man and the boy looked after them in astonishment, and the boy exclaimed: “Gee, but did you ever see anything like it?” “My son,” answered the man with a sad shake of his head, “that's what you've got to come to.” “What? Turn into a gal?” “You've got to marry a gal like one of them, and she'll make it 8o blamed rapid for you that you'll be a lunatic in less than a year.” When the girls had arrived and the stranger had been welcomed to her room, Mrs. St. Clair's face wore a troubled look, and she sald to her- self: “I don't see anything as solemn as a gravestone about that girl. On the contrary, she looks like a girl that would turn a somersault off a haystack any day in the week. 1 hope they won't get to carrying on too high.” And upstairs there was giggling and tittering and jumping over chairs and exclaiming: “Oh, but won't we make Rome howl when we get at it?" It was three or four days before there was any howling. Then one day the girls got on their old skirts and set off to view the country, as they termed it. As they were ready to go Mrs. St. Clair felt it her moth- erly duty to say: “At this season of the year there are lots of snakes, you know!'" “We shall carry clubs to kill them with.” “You Kknow there is a dangerous bull in Black's pasture? “Yes, but he \\un( hurt a couple of demure wmaidens.’ “Tramps were never as numerous as now."” “We are each knife. armed with a table Good-by and don't worry.” Half a mile down the road was Black's bull pasture. The bull was at home and had a ¢ hip on his shoulder. The girls sat on the fence and gave him a bad half hour. The ¥ shouted at him and taunted him and defled him until he broke his w ay out and ran down the road and chased a farmer to the roof of his wagon shed That was enough of the bull.

He began when you sat on the fence sassin’ the bull.” “Did he say what he was going to do with the photographs?”’ “] guess they are for the movies!” “My stars, Kitty!” wailed Miss Bes- sie, “but just think of it! My folks will surely turn me out doors!"” “I am thinking of it. Boy, do you know what a hero 18?” “Yes'm. Buffalo Bill is one.” “Will you be a hero for 50 cents?” “Sure, Mike!” “Then lead the way down to the wil- lows. If the man is there the three of us will pitch into him and destroy his kodak and plates. He shall not get away with them! Lead on, young hero!” As they broke through the fringe of willows into an open space they came upon a young man seated on the grass with his kodak and other things lying about. In his hand he held a large grasshopper and was studying him through a microscope. He had barely raised his hand when the boy hero cried out: *’Tis the villain! Mr. Burt Allen was charged. Charge him!""” His plates scattered over the grass. “Whoop!"” shouted the hero. “There!” gasped both girls in chorus. “Young ladies,” said the kodak man as he rose and lifted his hat, “permit me to introduce myself as Mr. Burt Allen, naturalist, and connected with Yale college. At the same time may I have the honor of asking the cause of this violent attack upon my prop- erty?” “You have been following and spy- ing upon us!" answered Miss Kitty. “I pledge you my word that I did not know you were afield until a moment ago.” “And you have not taken snap-shots of us?” “Upon my word, no! The films are all of birds and insects to be en- larged. idea?” “Why, the boy here said—" The boy started to make a sneak, but was collared by Miss Kitty. “What did he say?” asked Mr. Allen, “That you had followed us for over two hours, making snap-shots for the movies.” “The young liar—" The hold on the young hero's col- lar was transferred to his strong fin- gers and there was about to be‘a vig- orous shake-up when there was a wall and a sob, and the lad cried out: “I lied about it!"” “But why?” “Be—because I wanted to earn the money!"” “Did I even see the young ladies?” “No!"” “Did I see you?’ Could Cupid have found any better foundation to build a romance and something better on if he had looked around for a year? Which one? It was Miss Bessie who wrote to Miss Kitty some months later: “You are a plg! I wanted him for myself!"” (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) OAK THE REAL FOREST KING California Can Boast of More Than a Dozen Specles of This Most Ad- mired of Trees. iala % No forest trees were ever held in greater reverence, in all lands, than the oaks, widely distributed as they are over Europe, Asia, North America, North Africa and lesser divisions of the earth, and numbering altogether some 300 species. From the celebra- tion of the rites of the ancient Druids in Britain to that of Washington's birthday by the lowans in Eastlake park the oaks have been held in veneration (there is at least one live oak in Eastlake where these meet- ings are held), and under their grate- ful shade the happiest hours of child- hood still are spent in many lands, says the Los Angeles Times. How fortunate Californians are in this re- spect may be gleaned from the fact that there are more than a dozen species native to this state, while in England, where the oak is held in the highest esteem, lhvro is but one Quer- cus robur. Thig isol ation of a single species has justified its name of Eng- lish or British oak, though its native range is from Norway and Russia on the north to Sicily on the south and away to the Caucasus in Asia.

The honor of having been the first | country to use the postcard belongs to Austria, where it was introduced in 1869 as the result of the suggestions of Dr. Hermann Its price was less than a halfpenny, and at first its users were allowed to write only 25 words upon it. The card appeared in England exactly one year | later to the very day. The first pic- ture postcard was apparently one sent from the model of the Eddystone Light- | house at the Royal Naval exhibition in ! 1891, and it was not until two or three years later that the first English view- card made its appearance.
