that he couldn't stand the pressure and

The election contest in the county

The district court was occupied yes
terday with the case of the Belknap

have provided. And. having beer
brought up in land CT milk ant
honey, Miss Stuyvesant had a full
knowledge of their delectability, OF
which a later experience of bread and
water had taught her fuller appre-
citation. She thumped one of the cush-
ions irritably and crushed the light out
of her cigarette. She wanted conven-
tionality. With a keen sense Of the
extraordinariness of it she realized that
what most women were satiated with
chs wanted with all her soul. But she
also admitted, honesty being one of

the guise of new sensation. the years
that she had had it being those of her
childhood. And though Miss Stuyve-
SAINT was yet under thirty. circum-
stances had been such that the last six
years CT her life had been very crowded.
She Was tired of situations and ''af-
fairs" She wanted humdrum exist
cnce-to interview a cook and give 1r-
ders to a housemaid. But domesticity
had been impossible because she would
have it only on the condition that she
should change it at any time fer her old
freedom. And such an arrangement
had been impossible, for. with domesti-

With an impatient exclamation she
jumped up and lighted fragrant pas

did not know that she INDUCED in to-

rest decided that she lacked the cour-
age OF her convictions. Two such
Numerically opposed opinions at least
showed her versatility.
The thought made her smile and
second later frown. She ciasped her
hands high above her head, and the
flowing, lacy scleeves of her negligee
slipped down to her shoulders. She
wanted the moon-with the condition
that when its possibilities were ex-
hausted, it should be returned to the
skies. But even those who could put it

not how to get rid Of it, but by just

bered the "out" card on the other side
of the door that was confronting the
visitor. With her eyes on the little slit,

THE FIFTH WILL LEAVE
OUR CAVALRY. HEADQUARTERS
MUST 60 THIS SUMMER.
That's The Latest Gossip in Army
Oircles-Third Will Probably Come
Here-Post Locals.

There is a good deal Of speculation
at the post just now in all directions.
There is speculation as to who will be
the new brigadier generals, colonies,
of station of troops at this post. The
latter is the most important as all are
concerned in this, especially the caval-
ry. men and officers. 1t has not been
settled where the Fifth cavalry will be
sent to, but it is certain that the head
quarters will be transferred from here
and it is very likely that they will go
to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, near
st. Louis. In this case that will prob
ably take the Fifth cavalry out of the
state, as it is not probable that the
headquarters will be transferred to an
other department and the majority of
the troops allowed to remain here.
The Fifth will very likely be succeeded
here by the Third cavalry, should the
change take place. There is hardly
any of the men here who desire the
change, all having become devoted to
Post Sam Houston and the Alamo City.
Another reason is that Jefferson Bar
racks are not considered as healthy as
this place and they are not in such close
proximity to the city as this post, being
about miles out of town. San An
tonic can certainly count on having a
headquarter station and having regi-
mental band as well, but it is not defin-
itely settled what one it shall be. The
people will part with the present staff
and band with regret. The transfer
will likely occur in two or three
months.
