LAKELAND, FLORIDA WHOM SHE LOVED BEST By JANE BELFIELD. 000000000000000000000000 (Copyright.) r “It is easy to discover which man | the woman loves best.” The king of the Scarabee islands shifted his gaze from the blue sea shining above the broad coral reef, and sneeringly re- garded his latest favorite. “Bring out the prisoners. Four—you said?” “Four were shipwrecked, oh, king—the woman, a child and two men.” “And the child fs hers, but she will not tell which man {s her hus- band!” “She will tell.” The king yawned. Not much entertainment for a white man to be captured by these savages and forced to Be their chief! Twice he had attempted to escape and twice been ignomiriously retaken. Accord- ing to their laws—their stupid, un- changeable laws—the third attempt meant death. He glanced down the long rows of bamboo trees whence his half-naked negroes led forward the group of white prisoners. A woman, voung and beautiful, held fast the hand of a blue-eyed hoy. A tall, fair man followed between two stalwart blacks. Then another guard and another man, slight of build, dark of counte- nance. The king beckoned to the woman, saying: “I'm sorry for all of you—but—do you know their law?” The woman strained hopefully for- ward. “You are not—" “One of them? No—but I am thelr prisoner as much as you are. Ship- wrecked—saved because I practised a little easy magie to fool them! I'm still clothed in purple and fine linen, you see.” The king of the Scarabee islands spread out his skirt of woven grasses. “Can you not save us?" she im- plored wildly. The king shook his head. “Two of you. They do not kill women—un- less by request. This {8 their ancient law. You may live, and the one you love best also may live. I will put you both on the first ship that passes this most detestable spot.” The woman knelt and clasped the boy. Over his head her eyes strained despairingly toward the two men who stood calmly regarding her. For an instant the eyes of the taller left hers and lingered upon the boy's yellow curls. Two natives with knotted clubs stepped forward. The king rose. His gaze swept the multitude of dark faces. He hesitated—no—his interference would but change those stolid ccunte- nances to fury. “She chooses the boy,” he said The blacks seized the tall, fair pris- oner. “No!" the woman shrieked. “No—, not him! You have another law—the king's counselor told me—you dare not refuse a life for a life! T choose the child, but I claim the right to die in place of this man.” She stretched out her hand toward the captive whose hair was golden as the boy's. “No! no! Do not listen to him. Guard the prisoner! You who are chief here— you dare not refuse. It is your law— not your unchangeable law!"” |‘|::‘\l\ g;‘]‘:.:‘“'ll‘“\'lltxl.“\‘”(ll‘lul'l\l( fl‘»“\.-lv ll“:;:;“l‘;'lh \\‘x‘l‘l hv]]; R R R I R I I The woman whispered in the boy's | ¥ill then lend you_en more. to i Sugar, 17 pounds ............00u0. % EasasEy vevee 1.00 ear, and thrust his hand into the hand | gl monmiv ineaiimen *00 s S ont istailments, which Cotto § s g g gl aaghnnton oo {1 i 1.m..“ll‘ b, Sen i s lene, 10 pound Palll. ....vsvveneernnnesrnnsen. 1ol ; 3 any demand for large payments t a0 ~ vahtxly‘wlth his captors in desperate | = Ao ‘l‘i:wrx ‘A‘;m]”r\m:h it cannot Cottolene, 5 pound pails o protest.

He was the apothe- cary of the Invalides, when, following the famine of 1769, the Academie de|! Besancon announced a prize for dis- covering a vegetable which could be used in time of famine. Parmentier |; won the prize with the indication of the nutritive starch of certain plants. |, The potato was then unknown in | France. It had been brought from Peru, but was the object of warnings by doctors, who attributed to its use ! various fevers and even leprous af- fections. Parmentier persuaded the government in 1778 to give him a farm for his experiments. From the first flowering of the plants he sent a bou- | quet to Louis XVI, which gave the '} vegetable its first popularity, | pastel shades @mwwwx’a«s»«bmmlw:ws :: American and European Plan @ Tampa, Florida : M&Wr'w stock ity are satisfactory t¢ He then bec may draw out rectors, stockholders, co-ope to build up the town with goo | home-ownin, cav themselves.

Especially do boarding school | girls like them. They warmer than the night robe, when one is running about from one room to an- other to surreptitious spreads and the like. So, when you have occasion to zive a boarding school girl or a collega | girl a present, why not give her a pair of embroidered pajamas? They may be very plain, with just a briar stitch- ing about the places where there must be hems and a monogram over tha| handkerchief pocket, with silk frogs to fasten the coat, or they may be quite elaborate and feminine, with a much embroidered coat, and may even have a touch of embroidery about the bot tom of the trouser legs. Pajamas W ith turn-back shawl collars are somewhat newer than the coats with a simple collarless V. Cream silk pajamas with a wild rose pattern or forget-me-not pattern down the front of the jacket, about the shawl collar and the turn- back cuffs are fascinating. There are any number of other collars, and also other materials besides silk. Pajamas | should never be, of course, a dark col or.
