A reception committee of about fifty
progressives had been appointed TO greet
Mr. Roosevelt. but there was a misunder-
standing as to he time he was 70 arrive

Praise Adamson's Selection.

Although the selection OF Robert Adam
son as Mitchers campaign manager came
az n great surprise to most persons. II
met with general commendatiop. 1t was
generally agreed that his experience for
many wears as a newspaper man and po-
litical writer, his diplomatic training as
Navor Gaynor's secretary and his wide
knowledge OF men and political condi-
tions I'm this city would make him an able
manager.
Another angle was discussed. 1t was
that Mr.. Adamson was really the cam

out even a mention Of her presence.
and this knowledge left him confident
and at ease.
There were half dozen officers
gathered in the small room, the gray
bearded Colonel in command, sitting
behind table, with Major Mcdonald
at his right, and the others wherever
they could find standing room.

brusquely. you came in last night

Yes, SIR"
Had you ever met Lieutenant Gas

Once; he pulled me out of bad

the trail few months ago."
"The same affair l spoke to you
about" commented Mcdonald quietly.

The Colonel nodded. without remov-
ing his eyes from the Sergeant's face.
"Yes, I know about that" he said.
And that was the only occasion of
your meeting?"
Yes, sir"

were not directly concerned in the

the guard presenting arms, and cir

he recognized Miss Mcdonald. Would
she notice him-speak to him? The
man could not forbear lifting his eyes
to her face as the carriage swept by.
He saw her glance toward him. smile,
with a little gesture of recognition.

that smile, he instantly realized two
facts of importance-she was willing
to meet him on terms Of friendship,

evening previous as he ran past her In

CHAPTER x,v.-contlnued.

Voices reached him from outside,
echoing in through the high. iron
barred window, but they were distant,
the words indistinghshable. AS his
brain cleared he gave no further
thought to his own predicament. only
considering how he could best divert
suspicion from her. 1t was all a con-
fused maze. into the mystery Of which
he was unable to penetrate. That 1t
was Molly Mcdonald shrinking there
in the dark corner OF the barracks
wall he had no doubt. She might not
have recognized him, or imagined
that he saw her, but that spear Of
light had certainly revealed face not
to be mistaken. White as 1t was, hag-
gard with terror, half concealed by
struggling hair, the Identification was
nevertheless complete. The very pit
eousness Of expression appealed to
him. She was not a girl easily fright
ened: no mere promiscuous shooting.

that look to her face. He had seen
her in danger before. had tested her
coolness under fire. This meant some
thing altogether different What?
Could 1t be that Gaskins had wronged
the girl, had insulted her, and that
she. in response, had shot him down?
In the darkness OF conjecture there
seemed no other adequate explanation.
The two were intimate; the rumor Of
an engagement was already circulat-
ing about the garrison. And the strick-
en- man had endeavored to shift the
blame on him. Hamlin could not be-
lieve this was done through any de-
sire to injure; the Lieutenant had no
cause for personal dislike which
would account for such an accusation.
They had only met once and then
briefly. There was no rivalry between
them, no animosity. To be sure, Cas-
kins had been domineering, threaten
ing to report small breach of discip-
line. but in this his words and actions
had been no more offensive than was
common among young officers Of his
quality. The Sergeant had passed all

occurred to him now as Of the slight.

chances were the wounded man did
not even recognize who the victim
was-he had blindly grasped at the
first straw.
But suppose he had been mistaken?
Suppose that woman hiding there was
some one else? Suppose he had imag.
ined resemblance in that sudden
flash OF revealment? What then?
Would she care enough to come to
him when she learned of the arrest?
He laughed at the thought, yet 1t was
bitter laugh. for 1t brought back a
new realization of the chasm between
them. Major McDonald's daughter in

gered while the carriage drew up be.
fore the Majors quarters. he seemed
to remember vaguely that-she was a
strikingly beautiful blonde, with face
shadowed by broad hat. Although
larger. and with light fluffy hair and
blue eyes, the lady's features were
strangely like those of her slightly
younger companion. The memory of
these grew clearer before the Ser
geant-the whiteness of the face, the
sudden lowering Of the head; then he
knew her; across the chasm Of years
her identity smote him as blow:

THE VALUE OF LEAVES

Here is a suggestion that we take
bodily from the Staunton Leader:
This is one season of the year in
which thousands of dollars go up in
smoke. as the leaves from the shade
trees in the towns in cities are burn
ed. Money cannot buy fertilizer that
will take the pleace of the leaves that
are burned. In the spring the ladies'
are pleading for little woods earth
for their flowers and plants, and as
rule pleading to no purpose, as
woods earth is difficult to secure.
Woods earth comes from rotted
leaves and twigs from the forest
trees, and it is most valuable earth
for all kinds of plants, as it contains
pure vegetable mold, with all the con-
stituents in soluble form that plants
need.
Leaves should be gathered up and
saved for fertilizing purposes. They
should be put in compost heap to
rot, or buried in shallow trenches in
the ground. 1t is a waste to permit
them to be burned, Every house
holder almost could find some way TO
save the leaves and later receiving
great value for them. Where there is
horse or COW the leaves could be
used profitably for bedding, and
where there are chickens they are
valuable to put in scratching pens in
the winter, to make the chickens take
exercise and thus keep healthy"

WoMAN's CLUB MEETS

The Woman's Club held their regu
lar meeting Saturday afternoon in the
Clyatt building. where they are locat
ed for the winter.
Most of the meeting was devoted
to the hearing of reports of the re
cent federation at Orlando. made By
Mrs. Hooker. Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Re
vadski. and Mrs. Moorhead. the gis'
Of which has already appeared il
these columns.
One point brought out by Mrs
Hooker, and which was greatly re
GREETED by the federation, was the re
sort made by the Times-Union cor
respondent from Orlando, confusing
and mixing the reports of the suffrage
league with the federation. They are
entirely separate organizations, and
the federation has voted not to adopt
the suffrage resolution.
After the reports Mrs. Lloyd read
a splendid paper on whether or moi
the divorce laws of Florida should be
changed. This paper was written by
Mrs. Edwin Spencer, Jr., and showed
the very imperative need of changing
the divorce laws of Florida, or OF
making new laws, this being one sub
ject on which there are not enough
Laws.
The club heartily endorsed the res
olution to the city council of Alder
man Charles w Hunter for the ap
pointment of paid state health in
