p. H. Rolls, Experiment Station
Director.
Director.

We know that many of our readers
will be surprised, yet pleased, to learn
that Professor F. II. Rolls, now in
charge of the SubtrOpical Laboratory
at Miami, will soon become director
of the Florida Experiment Station.
The news will be especially welcome
as it is understood that the University
and the Experiment Station will be
entirely divorced, so that more atten-
ton can be given to actual researches
than heretofore Professor Rolls is
especially fitted for this position, not
only on account of his ability as an
investigator and his years as an eX-
perimenter, but on account of the fact
that he has been a resident of Florida
for more than twelve years, and is al
ready instructed as to the needs of the
state, consequently, he will not have to
60 over the ground that a new di-
rector would have to tread. In his
years of work at the Experiment Sta
! ton and also at the SubtrOpical Lab
pratOry of Miami, he has acquired
an amount of information that will be
a great help to him. His knowledge
of what is being done at the Sub
tropical Laboratory will prevent any
duplica tons of experiments which in
itself will be a great saving, not only
of expense, but time which cannot
help but rebound to the benefit of
Florida.
1t is our earnest hope that the Elk
pertinent Station may not only be
divorced from the University, but
from all politics, so that men that are
especially fitted for the work that is
required there can be retained year
after year, and not be compelled to
give way to persons who might have

a stronger political pub, but who may
not be AS well fitted for the position
as the incumbent. ?
We shall leok with a great dea1 Of
interest to the future work of the
Experiment Station.

the sake Of her child, she protected her
self against him, and succeeded in buy
ing, for a considerable sum, his consent
to a legal separation, which she could
otherwise have obtained had she brought
the incidents of her life into court. And
for five years she heard of him no more,
until at the period the story opens she
received a demand for money, to which
she paid no heed, nor had she seen him
meanwhile until that terrible night-his
last on earth. When breakfast was

not eat, nor did she talk-her mind was

Veronica kissed her again and again
before quitting the room. as if in this
way she would convey the faith and af-
lection which words failed her to ex-
press To refrain from thinking was
an utter impossibility to that stricken
woman, though thought was absolute
pain. As she lay there in the silence
and gloom, heartsck and despairing, the
story of her life rose in black outlines
against the lurid tragedy which had
crowned and intensified all her sorrows.
4 only child, worshipped by her
mo,her-her sole surviving parent-and
caressed by her friends, she had entered
society when she should have been in
the schoolroom.
Followed and admired, praised and
courted as she was. society was to her
a land of enchantment, and before her
second season ended she had wholly
given her heart to a young lieutenant OF
T.ancers but five years older than her
self. handsome, daring and fascinating
graceful dancer, a skilled polo player
faultess in dress, winning in his speech,
popular among women. hailed as good
fellow among men.
Before her eighteenth birthday she had
married him against the advice OF her
mother. and in spite OF the warning OF
her friends. endowing him, who was de
pendant upon his pay and STEPPED IN
debt with the handsome fortune left her
BY her father. Then came three years
Of welded life of varying happiness, al
the end OF which time the ardor on her
part remained unabated. while on his II
had vanished quite.
His growing indifference made her
womanlike, more anxious to retain his
affections, while her eagerness defeated
its own ends by rendering him more
careless still
Her disillusion, once begun, was
quickly completed. Soon came the
knowledge Of his unfaithfulness. his
losses on the race course and at the
gambling table, as we'll as the percep.
ton that his nature was gradually
coarsening by drink and dissipation
The day was not long postponed wher
she learned that her whole fortune
had been squandered by him in ways
thai ,ere wrongs to her. And. when nc
longer able to preserve patience. she up
raided him; he brutally struck her. By
this time he had quilted the army. and
disappearing, he left her and her chile
depending on friends, her mother being
now dead.
