A number of the members of. Fort j
King Camp No. 14, Woodmen of thej
World, want to Sparr last evening to :
be with that camp at its regular j
semi-monthly meeting. Four auto
loads left Ocala and the Sparr camp
being considerably smaller in num
bers than Ocala it looked almost like
a .meeting of the Ocala camp. How
ever, a most pleasant evening was
spent. Fort King is blessed with sev
eral real good orators and a whole lot
of "near" and "would-be" speakers,
so there wasn't a dull moment from
the time the gavel fell at the opening
ur.til the meeting closed.
Sparr camp No. 425, while not a
j large one, is a hustling one, made and
kept so by the enthusiasm of its effi
cient officers. The officers for this
term are E. W. Luff man, C. C; S. E.
Civil, A. L.; J. A. Stephens, clerk; H.
D. Grantham, banker; E. S. Stephens,
escort; Tom Lovell, watchman.
A movement was started last eve
ning to form a Marion county asso
ciation of Woodmen. The object of
this is to have a "get together" meet
ing once a month, at which it is ex
pected that each camp will have rep
resentatives present.

A NARROW
ESCAPE
By ALAN HINSDALE
"What's your name?" asked Farmer
Doyle of u younj: man about seventeen
years old who had applied to hiin.to be
taken on to the crop gathering force.
"Peter Simple." replied the youth.
"Know anything about farniin?"
No."
"What wages do you expect?"
"Whatever you choose to give."
"Well, considerin' that you loo
strong and are willing to leave the
wages to me I reckon I'll take you oa
I'll feed you and give you $13 a mouth'
So Feter Simple the next day went
to work on the farm. U was the sea
son when io war between the United
States and Germany had been declared
and the raising of cereal food was of
great importance.
"Amanda," said Farmer Doyle to his
daughter that evening when she was
wiping the dishes after supper, "I've
took on a new man today, and I want
to ay to you that you're not to get
mixed up with him."
"La, pa! Do you think I'm goin' to
take up with a farm hand? I want
somepin better'n that."
Nevertheless Amanda scrutinized each
new hand her father employed with an
eye, if he was young, to discover
whether or not he would be worth ap
propriating. When she inspected Peter
Simple he was in shirt and trousers
tossing hay on to a wagon with a
pitchfork. lie had a fine figure, and
it showed to advantage in the costume
he wore. It seemed to Amanda that
he was worthy of consideration. She
went into the dairy house, got a pitch
er of buttermilk and took it out to him
He drank it with thanks and an admir
ing gaze at Amanda. , ,
" Feter was secretly Amanda's favor
ite till her father hired Josh t Whit
taker. Whittaker was a man of thirty,
red headed and freckled. lie owned
a farm, but that season he'got an idea
into his head that with so many farm
ers in the field prices were bound to go
down. So he leased his farm and U
put in his time in July and August
went to work for Farmer Doyle. As
soon as Amanda learned of Whitta
ker's farm and that he had $2,500 in
vested in mortgages she dropped Peter
and took up with Josh.
"When a man, or, rather, a boy, of
seventeen falls in love he goes down
clear over his head and keeps on go
ing down till he touches bottom. Pe
ter, who was in a worldly heaven
while Amanda was smiling at him.
was ready for suicide when he found
himself supplanted. Amanda's par
ents saw it all and, though they had
scolded her for encouraging Peter,
urged hereon when she encouraged
Josh. Many a smile passed between
the couple when at supper. X - ;
. A week before the end of September
an engagement was announced be
tween Amanda Doyle and Joshua
Whittaker. It seemed to Peter that
the bottom had dropped out of his life.
He tried to find Amanda alone that
he might beg her before it was too late
not to blight his life. - He had made
up his mind to tell her something that
might induce her to change her mind.
Lucky Peter! Farmer Doyle came
along and saw him waiting for Aman
da at the hour she always weut to milk
the cows. Doyle called Peter Into" the
house, paid him his wages to date and
told him to vacate the premises. Peter
surrendered and was never again seen
on the Doyle farm.
Amanda in the autumn was married
to Whittaker and on the wedding trip
stopped over at a New England city.
A football game between the teams of
two colleges was advertised, and, the
bride persuaded the groom to take her
to see it. There was the usual kick
bag about of the ball by "small boys
and the shouts of the cheer leaders
aad the yells of the crowd, and then
the teams pranced onto the field like
acrobats Into a circus ring.
"Good gracious. Josh!" said Amanda
"Look at here!" , - ,
"Where? What?" -
"That feller is, Peter Simple as sure
as my name's Mandy."
. "So he is. Dy gum!"
There was Peter sure enough In the
toggery of a football man. Both bride
and groom scanned the score card to
find Peter's name among the players
It jvas not there.
, "Say. mister." said Josh to a young
ster on the ground directly beneath
him, "can you tell me who that young
man Is over there taking off his sweat
er?" '
"That? That's Harkinson.. the rich
est man in his college. They say he's
worth millions."
There was no more comfort for ei
ther Mr. or Mrs. Whittaker on their
bridal trip. Ainanda looked sour
enough to turn lemonade to vinegar,
and Whittaker could not look pleasant
when his wife sulked. When" they
went home and the bride had told who
Peter Simple was Farmer Doyle and
his wife turned as sour as their daugh
ter. Jimmie Harkinson in May. becoming
aware of the fact that he would be
flunked at his graduation school ex
aminations. availed himself of the na
tional demand for food producers to
go farming, for the board of education
promised payment to all boys who
would do so. Harkinson, not caring to
be known as himself, chose the name
of Peter Simple that he had picked out
of a story book
Had Farmer Doyle not discharged
him he would have avowed his wealth
to Amanda and gone to college In the
fall with a millstone about his neck In
the shape of a sweetheart he forgot In
a fortnight.
