Of the inmates il in the reform school during the il month of April, 177 came from the 'counties east and south of Suw- anee, or 77 per cent. Sixty-seven of these were from Duval county and 35 from Hillsborough. There is pending in the legisla- ture a bill which would appropriate $60,000 to replace the dormitory, which was burned last year, and which resulted in the loss of eight lives. Those advocating the change declare that if the institution is ever to be moved to a more central location the present is the time. The State owns eighteen thousand acres of fertile land in Bradford county, and if it was not found desirable to locate the institution at Raiford, where the State prison farm is lo- cated, it would be located at Eller- bee, which is three miles distant, or forty-two miles from the -city of Jacksonville.

(Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) Nobody had believed in William Merritt. He had been a dreamy, im- aginative boy and had lost half a dozen positions in his native village. An orphan, brought up by a distant relative who used him badly, he had shaken the dust off his feet and gone to the metropolis to earn a livelihood. Ten years later, a man of thirty- two, he was a national character. His bridge across the Potomac was consid- ered a triumph of American engineer- ing. The tunnel which he had driven across the Kill van Kull had been made the model for all such undertak- ings in America and Europe. With all his success and wealth he was still desperately lonely. His suc- cess had been the result of native genius and application. To his per- sonality the shy man owed nothing. And there had come to him a long- ing to show himself before those who had jeered him and win their esteem. He did not long for any personal triumph over them. He thought of Nettie Haines, the lit- tle girl who had lived across the . street from him. They had been child- hood sweethearts, and he had told her that one day he would marry her. Doubtless she was married now and had long ago forgotten him. He thought of Saunders, who had dis- missed him from the grocery store; Boyce, the undertaker, for whom he had worked during one long week. And he went back. He registered at the only hotel the village boasted and made himself known to Flaxman, the proprietor. The man shook hands with him coldly enoygh. “Glad to see you back again, Mr. Merritt,” he sald. “Mr. Boyce? O yes, he's flourishing. Saunders does the same old business.” Merritt had been too shy to ask for Nettle. He made his way up the street to Boyce’s place. The man did not recognize him at first. “Well, I'm glad to see you,” he said, when his visitor had explained his purpose in calling. Saunders’ greeting was still more frosty. He recollected Merritt and was glad he was doing so well. As Merritt turned to leave, with a sense of disillusionment in his heart, he saw a young woman bending industrious- ly over a heap of bills in Saunders’ shop. It was Nettie, his old sweet- heart, Impulsively he strode up to her. “Why, Nettle—Miss Haines!” he ex- claimed. She recognized him and her face grew red. “How do you do, Mr. Mer- ritt,” she sald demurely. Shy as he was, Merritt managed to get into conversation with her. Un- der the watchful glances of Saunders he succeeded in stammering out a re- quest to visit her that evening. “It used to be Will,” he said, when she greeted that night as Mr. Merritt. “Well, Will, then,” she returned, laughing. “I do hope you have had good luck.” : He looked at her in amazement. Had she not heard of him? He was not a vain man, but it seemed incredi- ble, when all the newspapers and magazines had been full of his suc- cess. “Yes, 1 have done pretty well,” he answered slowly. “I am 8o glad to hear it,” answered the girl. “You have no idea how hor- rid people are. I—but I suppose I shouldn’t be saying it.” He pressed her to tell him. “You remember how we used to tell each other everything,” he pleaded. Nettie colored slightly. “Well,” she continued, “Mr. Boyce said he sup- posed you had come back to try to get a job in town, and were dressed up to make a bluff. And he said you'd never get anything in his place, and Mr. Saunders agreed that it was the same as far as he was concerned. I felt so humiliated, and I am so glad to learn that it isn't so at all.” Merritt was thunderstruck. So these people had never heard of him at all. He had ascribed their coldness to the natural reserve of a little community, instead of which he was, in their eyes, the same ne'er-do-well, the same in- capable. And Nettie did not know. “Nettle,” he said, taking her hand, “do you remember that time we found a dime in the road and I split it in two and we divided 1t?" v “Perfectly, Mr. Merritt,” she replied, smiling. “And do you remember what I said to you then?" “No, Willam. That part has escaped my memory altogether.” “Would you like me to remind you?” The girl's eyes, which had been downcast, were suddenly raised to his. “I told you that that made us sweet- hearts, and that some day I should marry you,” said the man. He saw that she was trembling, and in that moment he knew that he had always loved her, and that it was providence which had kept him aloof and uncontaminated by the world, for this end only. And she did not know anything of him, of his wealth. “Will you marry me, dear?’ he asked. “I can support a wife in com- fort,” he continued whimsically. He drew her into his arms and kissed her. “You see, I have always had the habit of meaning what I say,” he continued. “Will, dear, I have loved you all my life,” she answered. i Why He Was Pleased. “Yessir,” sald the rugged moun- taineer to the member of congre: “I'm goin’ to vote fer you, hard frequent. You're one man as does a little suth’n to protect home indus- try.” “Then you dont resent my stand in favor of prohibition?” “That's what I'm a<cheerin’ ye fer. You ain't interfered with us moon- shiners wuth mentionin’, an’ you've improved the demand a heap."—Ex- change. -2 Repairs Quickly Made No one appreciates more than we do the necessity for speed in our Repair Department.
