go to the opera afterwards. You are
bringing Mr.. Barnes. Perhaps l shall
like him better on further acquaint-
ance."
She kissed Victoria, and smiled to
herself as she drove back to Berkeley
square.
Il wonder" she thought, "if the dear
child will be angry when she finds
capt. Galway is to be the fourth in the
box? 1 suppose it's rather atrocious
of me to plan such a bad night for
Piggy but l can't stand this fashion
of women selling themselves to the
highest bidder. Victoria had far bet
ter return to her first love-"
Victoria was waiting for her fiance
in blue boudoir.
He had promised to escort her to
Lady Darnford's and already he was q
little late.
II thought you had forgotten to
come" she cried jokingly when at last
he appeared. why, Piggy dear, how
tired you look!"
He laughed bitterly.
She followed him to the carriage,
puzzled.
Something is the matter" she
whispered as the door closed on them.
Tell me. I'm not child; must
share your sorrows as wellnas your
joys"
"Everything's the matter" he an
swered, his fingers folding over hers.
To-day was the crisis. 1t practically

from her lips. ITO what extent?

toria, and afterwards we can say good
by. l wasn't strong enough to keep
away tonight"
AS she entered the hall of Lady
Darnfords house, Victoria looked
curiously at her lover. Though pale
and drawn, the refining influence Of
suffering improved rather than marred
his countenance, bringing out the
character beneath, in some subtle way,
which thrilled Victoria with surprise
and a sense of admiration.
While Victoria removed her cloak In
Lady Darnford's room, the hostess ap-
peared Unexpectedly, with an air Of
suppressed excitement in her manner
"My sweet child" she said, dismiss
ing her maid with wave of her hand
as she addressed Victoria, Il do hope
you won't be angry, but Capt. Galway
is here. He turned up quite by
chance. Sun-bronzed and splendid, a
perfect picture of a man."
AS they entered the drawingroom
he was standing on a white rug, tow
ering above Petruchio Barnes, a grace

latter in conversation, leaving Victoria
and Capt. Galway undisturbed.
During dinner Victoria glanced fire.
quently from the face of the man she
had Tilted to the face of the man who
offered her freedom-after tonight.
Her eyes wore puzzled expression,
which gave them rather dreamy
| look.
She Is at heart the most senti-
mental creature in the world" thought
Lady Darnford. Before the evening
is finished she will be in love with
Capt. Galway again If play my cards
cleverly."
Lady Darnford's cards were not diff
ficult to manipulate, since she had laid
her plans beforehand. 1t was agreed
she should visit box opposite during
an interval at the opera, as she had a
particular message to give friend,
who at the same time expressed a de-
| sire to be introduced to Victoria's 8
fiance. Mr.. Barnes was therefore asked
to accompany Lady Darnford. leaving
Victoria alone with Capt. Galway.
Eric knew the details of the plan,
since this was to be the golden oppor-
tunity of making hay while the sun
of fortune shone.
She noticed with what alacrity Mr..
Barnes rose to accompany their
hostess on her pilgrimage.
Eric rose and closed the door, then
he took a seat behind the curtain,
which concealed him from view.
Victoria" he whispered, in low,
vibrating voice, you are not going to
marry that MANI"
He grasped her hand almost rough
ly, and frowned the words into a jest.
"You are playing with yourself" he
said You know you are going to
throw him over tonight"
She glanced across the house.
You know, or you soon will know"
continued the ruthless voice, that
Barnes has muddled his affairs, as he
will muddle your life. 1t is common
talk in the city, so Lady Darnford tells
me, he's on the brink of a disaster.
You must not fall with him. You are
being reserved for better things. Re-
consider. / am waiting. /"
A short laugh from Victoria broke
the words.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, 80 you are
the better thing! 1 am glad, Eric, you
have not lost your sense OF humor."
I'VE were made for each other" he
assured her. You have known it all
along. What is the use of quarreling?"
Then it's all settled" she replied.
I'VE just take up the old position
again, and wipe everything else off the
slate"
He looked at her eagerly.
Yes, Victoria; yes. forgive freely"
How good of you! How generous!"
Her voice grew soft, her melting
eyes looked long and searchingly into
his.
He flushed red with the glow of vic
tory and pleasure.
Victoria gave sigh of relief which
gratified Eric. The figures in the
box opposite were moving, and Lady
Darnford was making her adieux.
AS Petruchio reappeared, Miss Stan
hope rose, a little dizzily.
Piggy" she said, Il don't feel well.
Will you take me homer"
He went quickly to her side, watch
ing her closely as she excused herself
to Lady Darnford.
Wasn't it a success?" queried Lady
Darnford, as Victoria vanished down
the corridor.
"Oh, yes, indeed" replied Capt.
Galway, "she has all but accepted
me. But it's tiresome breaking
with her violent Petruchio."
Hes quite mild; she needn't fear"
replied Lady Darnford, elated. MY
congratulations, and blessing"

How do you feel?" asked Petruchio
anxiously, lowering the carriage win
dow that Victoria might get the air.

AMERICAN TROOPS
STAY IN CUBA
DEEMED INADViSABLE TO WITH
DRAW MILITARY FORCES
AT PRESENT.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-As a re-
suit of several conferences between
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft
and Gen. Bell, Chief of Staff of the
Army, it has been decided not to with
draw any of the United States troops
from Cuba at the present time.
1t is understood that the conclusion
reached was based upon representa-
tions from Gov. Magoon and Gen. Bar
nv commanding the army of Cuban
pacification, that it might be inadvis-
able to reduce the military forces in
Cuba in advance of the time guessed
by the President for the re-establish-
ment of the Cuban republic next fall.

PORT HUDSON.
Forty-Five Years Ago The Famous
Assault Was Made.

Forty-fve years ago on Wednes-
day, May 9th, occurred the as
sault of Port Hudson, La. The
Maury County Historical Society is
now engaged on the history of the
Maury Light Artillery and as that
command suffered such severe losses
sole of the facts and incidents of
that memorable day will be interest
ing on this anniversary.
AS the company then had only two
twelve-pounder iron guns, (being In
the First Tennessee Battalion OF
Heavy Artillery many OF the men
had been detailed as infantry sharp
shooters. Capt. Matt Sparkman was
ordered to place his two guns on the
left near the old post commissary,
which he at once did. Esquire George
N. McKennon was in charge Of one
piece. One of Gen. Frank Gardeners
staff directed him where to shoot and
I if the intention was to divert the en-
emys fire he succeeded WELL for they
were soon answered with storm OF
balls from the Federal batteries pre-
paratory to the assault. The attack
ing troops were mostly negroes who
advanced in good order until they
reached the abattis, when the South
ern troops then fired at point blank
range. Some of the soldiers say the
negroes threw off everything that was
not fastened to their bodies and
scampered in any direction, many
coming into the lines without guns or
hats. In some instances they huddled
together in crowds, making a target
for the artillery that plowed great
gaps among the bewildered masses.
It was some days before all the dead
were buried, wag remarking that
the negroes had been defeated and
were now foetid.
The days casualties had been heavy
in the Maury Light Artiller. Capt
Sparkman was cutting a fuse when he
was struck by a ball from which he
died on June 4th. A PARROT shell cut
Bud Hutchinson in two and then took
off Gus Mayes' leg. Marion Dockery

THE JUNIOR SENATOR.

maiden? We do not just understand
since the man has married at least
three times to our knowledge.
THE talk was a rambling bit Of
abuse of the poor Republicans, who by
this time ought to be buried beneath
Democratic scorn and accusations, on
ly they are not.
senator Taylor talked about the
solar system, of which he knows noth'
ing. compared the mundane happen
ing of which he knows less, to some
tbing-we never could catch on-got
hack to secession and 81, confessed
he was not a constitutional lawyer
that is, not a great one; abused PEG
ple who had more money than he, hit
at the trusts, but not hurtfully, grum
bled about the tariff, accused the
devil of being a Republican, touched
on the financial system of the country
of which he is more ignorant than o.
the solar system, made no hint o
Improvement of either, finally paid
high tribute to Republican Roosevelt
and sat down. What pity the junior
Senator had not turned his speech
around and begun with the ending!'

ORGAN ATTACKS bob" TAYLOR
A Contemplate ATTACK.

The American has aimed its shafts
OF abuse at another target. Upon yes
terday il presented its views Of Sen
ator Taylor and his recent speech IN
the United States Senate. The pur-
nose OF the American plainly was to
hold the Senator up to derision and
cast contempt upon him.
II would not be possible to imagine
a more senseless and uncalled for
attack.
AS Congressman three times Cover
nor Of this great State and United
States Senator from Tennessee, Sena-
tor Taylors record of public service
is long and honorable one. AS a
Democrat he has ever held himself
obedient to his party's call. From the
DAYS almost of his boyhood he has
championed-and with conspicuous
ability-the principles of Democracy.
Through many hard fought campaign
often at great personal sacrifce-he
! carried the banner of Democracy to
splendid triumph.
Possibly no public man in Tennes'
see has ever been more intimately
and widely known by the people and
none has ever been more beloved
"Our Bob" is not a term of undigni
fed familiarity, but is the expression
! of a tenderness of love and sympathy
which the worthiest may well envy
and seek to deserve.
The coarse, brutal and unnecessary
attack of the American doubtless
springs from what-in the mind o.
that paper-is a sufficient cause. Sen
ator Taylor is a Democrat. AS a Dem
ocrat he believes in the principle o.
majority rule; and believing in this
principle. he condemned in unmeas
ured terms the bogus plan proposed
to defeat the will and wishes OF the
! Tennessee Democracy and to accom-

ton by hook or crook.
To every Democrat who has assallet
the iniquities of Governor Patterson
plan the American has replied will
silly vituperation. 1t will have al
early opportunity to cool down to tina
degree where it may perceive tn
lack of wisdom in such an attack a
this which it has made upon Senate
Taylor.
The American can't see its foil.
now. It can only see Governor Pattel
son. and is now busily engaged In 1T
endeavor to make his stains look Xix
scars.
With itself discredited and its car
didate doomed to sure defeat, tn
American in it's fury strikes, like
blind snake in August, at everything
which disturbs its dreams.
The proper rebuke for the Demo
cratic party of Tennessee to admins
ter to the machine organ would b
the selection of Senator Taylor as
delegate-at-large to the Denver Cor
vention. Tennessean, May q
