May, one of its livest live wires, were in the city vesterday but came to town merely to confirm their strong opinion that Auburndale is the best place in the state of Florida. “In spite of two disastrous fires and one or two other calamities in the last two years Auburndale has made greater progress in the last seven months than at any time in her history,” said Mayor ‘And that's certainly going some, added May. “There are more than 700 people in the corporate limits of !the town now and more than 1,500 "who get mail lh1:rr-, Some town, me ‘hn_\', some town.” : ; | “Good roads That's our middle !name.” said the mayor. “\We're go- ‘ing to have them.

It is thought probably that they will recommend the pur- chase of the Ocala property, on which the state has a lease, and the present system of handling convicts may be extended gradually until the lease system is abolished. There is pending in House a measure which calls for the abolition of the con- vict lease system by the first of January, 1917, Many members of both houses are favoring an early abolition of the convict lease system, but it is gen- erally predicted that the abolition of the prison measure will not be possible. It is argued that the counties are unwilling at present to hire the convicts for road work, and that the state is not in position to {give up the revenue that comes from this source at the present.

Mona Fairlee walked down the long drawn fine jockey of the west, to do part of the | bier to the shore, where the red- | =hingled roof of the Bensons' summer camp peeped through the surrounding pine trees. She reached the cottage and stood amazed to discover that doors and windows were closely shuttered. Pine camp had every appearance of being closed for the season, although it was only the first of August. Something must have happened to change the summer plaus of the Ben- sons, who were distant cousins of Mona. “What shall I do?" asked Mona in dismay, for there was no way of reach- ing the mainland except by boat. “If it hadn’'t been for Dick Master- son—" Mona paused and bit her lip, fighting back the tears. “llow I hate him!" she sobbed passiouately. It was the old stery of a lover's quarrel and a hasty parting. Mona had written a long letter to Edith Ben- son and followed the letter herself, secking refuge from the world in the solitude of Pine island, said “solitude” being enlivened by the gay doings of he inhabitants of the group of little islands that dotted the lovely Maine luke. Now, with the Bensons away, she must return home, where she might meet Dick at any moment, Mona was growiag hungry. She walked disconsolately down to the strip of beach that bordered the island. On the western shore, where one had a clear view of miles of unbroken wa- ter, she came to a halt and stared de- lightedly. A small fire of driftwood and pine cones burned cheerfully over a circle of stones. On the stones were five lake t.out Uroiled a delicious brown. A gray coat was thrown on the sand and near by was a fishing rod. There was no one in sight. How good the melled! How hun- gry she was! *“I not have an- other bite to eat uutil tomorrow,” thought Mona, throwing all precepts to the winds. "It vere here 1 am sure he would share them with me— and yet 1 don't want auyone to know I'm here. He cun catch more.” She conscience with this thought, as she bit inio the juicy brown and white tenderness. The afternoon wore on. Great clouds piled up in the northwest, and there was a distant grumble of thunder. Mona was afraid of thunder storms. There came a long, rumbling roll of thunder and she fled to the front ve- randa of the cottage, where she sought a sheltered corner and sat dis- consolately on her suit (ase with her umbrella spread protectingly over her.

The muttered ejaculation told Mcn that she had been discovered. She dropped her umbrella and looked up into the face of the fisherman whose dinner she had eaten. He was not an ill-looking young man. On the contrary, the gray coat covered broad shoulders above which rose a strong, brown throat and a head undeniably handsome.

"Mona screamed with fear. The fisherman gathered Mona into strong arms. ‘“Are you hurt, darling?" was his astonishing question. And Mona, half fainting with fright, seemed not to nt the familiarity. Her golden head dropped on the shoul- der of the fisherman and her lips mur- mured a negative. “What are you doing 'here, Dick?" she asked faintl “I have an id “that Edith received your letter yes- terday. and, conceiving the idea of bringing about a reconciliation be- tween us, wired me to come up. Then they left us maroconed on the island, and—well, it happened just as she planned! Here they come now, two boatloads!
