As I came to pause and glanced
back, wondering if there could be any,
thing wrong with my parole, he swung
his cap and pointed.
"That officer coming yonder wants
to speak with you"
Across the open field at my right,
hidden until then by slight rise Of
ground, a mounted cavalryman was
riding rapidly toward me. For the
moment his lowered head prevented
recognition, but as he cleared the
ditch and came up smiling, I saw it
was Cation.

ONE MUST

By PHILIP VANDEVEER

My engagement with Edith was
short, sweet and fiery. we parted
after quarrel and never spoke again.
The only things which passed be-
tween us after the break were the
gifts I had bestowed upon her and
our letters. When mine came back
to me tossed them into a drawer in
a writing desk l kept for personal use
in my home, intending to destroy them
when I had time. But somehow 1
disliked to touch anything that re-
minded me of this love turned to
hate.
My engagement to Mildred that fol-
lowed was a very different affair. l
resolved that would write no such
twaddle as 1 had written Edith. MIL
dred was one Of those undemonstra-
tive girls whose feelings are often
very strong, but who keep them pent,
fearing that some one may detect them.
Such people rarely make friends. Those
they meet casually are never drawn
to them, but the few who break
through their shells adore them.
Our engagement was long one, for
1 was obliged not only to set my
house in order, but first to get the
house. I was satisfied that Mildred
was the woman I wanted for wife.
We were companionable, interested in
each other and our joint affairs and
had complementary tastes. But there
was no gush. When we parted and
met our kiss was more like one be-
tween brother and sister than be-
tween lovers. Nevertheless we were
wrapped up in each other.
Our engagement had lasted a year,
and so used had become to consider
ing Mildred as my own personal prop
erty that gradually dropped what
few endearments l had been used to
giving her. I was away from her fire.
quently, and so great was my aversion
after my experience with Edith-to
love letters that never wrote one to
Mildred. Finally, during my absences
l did not write her at all. Mildred
never complained OF this IN the sight
est. Indeed, she never wrote me except
in reply to a letter Of mine, and it was
usually shorter and less demonstrative
than mine.
Then came a thunderclap. While
from home received letter from Mil
dred's sister Clara informing me that
Mildred was intending on my return
to break our engagement. The reason
she would give was that she had found
that she did not love me well enough
to marry me. The real reason was my
unlOverlike treatment of her. 'sYou
have. mistaken her." wrote Clara. .'She
is brimful Of romance, feeling. every
thing that tends: to bring out grand
passion. She loves you devotely, as
you would have known had you treat

work Of rectifying my mistake. I be-
gan at once a letter-ignoring, of
course, the information I possessed
which would meet my Mildred's most
ardent desires. What was my disap-
pointment, my chagrin, my terror, to
discover that I could not write in the
required vein. wrote dozen letters,
none Of which satisfied me. Those that

AID OF THE AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT OF FAIR DECID-
ED UPON THIS COURSE.

G. w. Mcdonald, of Cottage HILL
superintendent of the agricultural de-
partment of the Pensacola Interstate
Fair, was in the city yesterday morn
ing in consultation with Secretary
and General Manager Lillard, and af-
ter talking the matter over, 1t was de-
cided to enlarge the agricultural build
ing, on account of the large number
of applications for space In the build
ing already received and in view of
the fact that number of others are
expected.
The agricultural exhibit will be
housed In a tent this year and the
tent is to be s0x15O feet, which is
much larger than the building used
last year and even larger than was
first planned for the exhibit this year.
Both Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Lillard
are very much pleased and encouraged
on account of the unusual amount of
interest being manifested In this de-
partment.

TEACHERS WILL
HELP PROTECT
NATIVE BIRDS
REPRESENTATIVE OF AUDUBON
SOCIETY TALKED TO THEM AT
v. M. C. A. YESTERDAY AND
CLASSES WILL BE INTRODUCED
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Following an address by a represen..
tstive of the Florida Audubon Society,
delivered at the Y. M. c. A. yesterday,
the public school teachers In this city
decided to introduce into the schools
Junior Audubon classes, for the pur-
pose Of studying the habits Of the
Wild birds In this state.
The representative of the Audubon
Society talked to the teachers about
protecting the native wild birds and,
apparently, he succeeded in arousing a
considerable amount of interest. He
explained to them the object of the
organization, which is to protect the
native wild birds and animals and to
prevent the needless destruction of
them. especially to prevent the killing
Of birds which are more valuable as
songsters and insect destroyers than
as game birds.
The members Of the society now
urge the parents to cooperate with
the teachers and believe that in this
way much can be accomplished toward
the protection Of the native wild birds
in this state.

Roosevelt's Followers Are Split Into Two Factions and Seem to be Generally Up in the Air as
 to the Future.
4 GN2SPH WOOD ~ y,

Chicago, June Convention head quarters of President Taft principally suspended all effort tonight so far as working among the delegates to the convention was concerned.
 Although the constantly recurring gossip of a compromise candidate dis turbed the Taft managers at times, they profess to he absolutely confident that the delegates who voted with the President on the first two ballots in the convention would be firm to the end
 After emphatically declaring Taft would be renominated, Director Mo Kinley in statement tonight said:
 It is perfectly natural that simul- anttaneously with general complete defeat of Roosevelt many of his for mer followers are talking with suffi- cient energy to create rumors of com promise candidates. These rumors have nothing back of them except the general desire to draw attention away from the one great accomplishment of the republican national convention to date-the overwhelming defeat of Roosevelt.
 President Taft's strength in the convention has grown from it's first moment: and the acknowledged de- feat of Roosevelt is adding to it hourly There is no one who questions his complete control of the situation and there is not tIhe slightest possibility of even a monetary consideration O. a 'compromise' candidate. There will be no such candidate
 "The extended consideration of the contested cases by the committee on credentials is further evidence of the complete control of every phrase of the situation by President Taft. It is his wish that every opportunity for the complete presentation of these cases should be given, that the country may know without douht of the abso- lute lack of foundation for the extra. vagant charges of robbery and fraul which are being declared by Roosevelt as he disappears in the oblivon oi defeat'

As to the immediate steps to 1 be taken to usher in this new party there are almost as many opinions as there are men, One group is satis- fled to beat Taft and have a moderate ly progressive candidate nominated. The second group believes the setting aside of Roosevelt after he has car ried the primaries would in itself be a victory for the reactionaries and the standpatters. If a compromise ticket is the outcome, we must wait for other times and other conditions to shape the new movement, If Roosevelt takes the field as a candidate under whatever party name. the new party is born

Bristow and Allen of Kansas governors Aldrich of Nebraska Hadley of Missouri Glasscock of W est Virginia, the men from the Daxotas and Minnesota, Deneen of Illinois, are for making the nomination regular. They already have captured the repub- lican organizations in their states and they have an active effective party that is as progressive as any new party could be They have no wish to scuttle it. They desire Roosevelt s nomination to come regularly. On the other men like Garfield.

 While leaders of the Roosevelt for ces were hastening in and out of the ex-president's offices tonight, the colo nel was in seclusion. His secretary said late in the evening he was in his rooms with Mrs. Roosevelt and that he did not know whether the colonel was to sec any of his leaders. A report that Roosevelt would leave for New York tomorrow was passed about among the crowds which throng- ed the corridors, but his secretary sail there was no foundation for it.. The Colonel did not leave his hotel during the day
